“Five Stars Isn’t Enough!

After an incredible weekend in New Orleans, I found myself with a few hours to spare before my flight. With luggage in tow and my work computer in hand, I stopped into Tavern on Citrus—and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend the day.

What was meant to be a quick stop turned into a six-hour visit (thanks to a delayed flight), and honestly, I was grateful for the extra time. From the moment I walked in, I was met with an unbelievable level of hospitality and warmth. It felt less like I was dining in a restaurant and more like someone had called ahead to say, “Make room—we’ve got a guest who belongs here.”

The food? Absolutely delicious. The service? Impeccable. Every person I interacted with went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I even had the chance to enjoy some great conversation with the staff while getting a bit of work done.

They kindly let me charge my electronics, and I left feeling full, refreshed, and truly cared for. But the real test of character came when I accidentally left my work laptop behind—something incredibly valuable to both me and my organization. By the time I realized it, I was halfway to the airport. I called in a panic, and not only did they have it safely behind the counter with a note and my name on it (they had pulled my info from my card to make sure it got back to the right person), but the owner personally ran out to hand it off to my Uber driver curbside so I wouldn’t miss my flight.

As someone who has worked in recruiting for the hospitality industry, I’ve always said: you can teach someone the policies, the systems, the menu—but you can’t teach someone how to genuinely care. That’s what true hospitality is, and Tavern on Citrus has it in abundance.

I left not only with a full belly, but with the kind of impression that lasts. I genuinely felt sad to leave, and now this spot is permanently on my must-visit list every time I’m in New Orleans. If you’re looking for amazing food, authentic service, and a reminder of what hospitality really means—this is your place.“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Very cool dive bar. Frozen Irish Coffee is the bomb (add the shot).

Killer PoBoys was amazing. Had the seared shrimp. Devoured.

FYI. The bar and food are separate with the food closing earlier than the bar.“

“A warm and friendly place for drinks and food. Great Irish coffee & Cajun eggnog! There’s a cute miniature street trolley that runs around the top of the room, to boot.“

“I went into this bar at about 1:30 a.m. because they had a good sounding band playing covers of classic rock and it looked interesting. I had two double bourbons and a Sazerac and I really don't remember the rest. I may or may not have been roofied, but fair chance I just had too many drinks.“

“Great unique cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.“

“Extensive Market Knowledge:** Suzan Mchugh extensive market knowledge positions her as a resourceful source for understanding global economic trends. Investors benefit from insights that go beyond the immediate investment landscape, providing a broader perspective.“

“There is no place like the saddle bar in or around Nola. It’s always a blast when I go there.“

“Fabulous frozen Irish Coffee and other drinks, great bartenders, chill atmosphere. Great local bar!!!“

“Great drink prices. Staff are all very friendly and do a wonderful job. They have darts, pool and various other activities. I'll definitely be back.“

“Have been a Chart Room patron for many years. It's pretty much a plain ol' bar with great juke box and veteran bartenders serving typically strong and inexpensive drinks. About half locals, half out-of-town visitors, most of the out-of-towners being frequent NOLA visitors. At one time I suspected that a few of the regular characters were sent over by Central Casting, but have been going there long enough to now know they're genuine. A recent ownership change, but based on my last visit, no discernible (to me) change.“

“Amazing bar, amazing roast beef po-boys. Never miss their annual St. Patrick’s block parties. There’s usually two. For 2025, Not positive if it’s on Thursday, March the 13 or Friday the 14th, but for sure on Monday the 17th, 2025. Perhaps Admin can make a list??“

“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!“

“My favorite bar in New Orleans! Amazing staff with great service, always friendly and ready for conversation. Queer/trans-friendly. Quirky weird shit playing on the TVs. Usually late night food trucks from local vendors, including awesome yakamein, a New Orleans classic.“

“My mom and I had an incredible stay at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel—a true gem in the heart of the French Quarter. The hotel is stunning in its historic charm, beautifully maintained, and thick in the character you come to New Orleans to experience. Its location could not have been more convenient—everything we wanted to see and do was within easy walking distance. The staff was outstanding from start to finish. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and when we had a small issue with the toilet, it was resolved quickly and kindly. Every detail was taken care of—even some we didn’t know we needed. A special thank you to David out front who went above and beyond to serve us. My mom is handicapped, and he personally managed the delivery and return of her electric wheelchair rental with patience and care. His kindness and attention meant so much to us. This hotel met every need and then some. Five stars—10/10 recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Fun place to drink while in NOLA.“

“We recently hosted an after party for our wedding at the Rusty Nail and it was the perfect place for it. It's a great atmosphere and a cool space, the drinks were great, and all of our guests really enjoyed it. Ivan and his team were awesome to work with, super accommodating. All around great experience and I can definitely see this place being perfect just for a hang or with a group for drinks.“

“We went here on 6-12-25 and had Quinn as our waiter. GREAT service, great food and he made us feel right at home. We went back on 6-13-25 hoping he’d be working and he was. We had two incredible experiences two days in a row. If you’re in the Quarter, go here and ask for Quinn!!!“

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“For a quiet afternoon or evening great place to hang out“

“Get yourselves uptown, and visit the Maple Leaf, great ambiance and easy going down to earth people. Great bands, lovely outdoor sitting area! "Come on uptown! " I would give it 5 stars!!!“

“Stopped into this little neighborhood bar and had one of the best experiences thanks to the bartender, Lorna. Not only were the drinks spot-on (perfect balance, not watered down, and served with skill), but the genuine hospitality stood out even more. She took the time to chat, give great local recommendations, and made everyone feel like a regular even if it was your first time in.“

“Pete Scherer was my great uncle. I remember when I was a little girl my great grandma (Pete's sister, Irene) and my nanny (Eileen) used to take me to the bar to see Uncle Pete every Saturday after dancing school. It really is great to see that the place he loved so much is still open. ❤“

“A welcoming bar with friendly staff. We felt right at home the minute we walked in.“

“Great bar with wonderful employees. Everyone makes you feel right at home. Karaoke several nights a week. Dart, pool and food. Owner is very friendly. Reasonable drink prices and nightly specials.“

“Great experience for intimate dining or for a large group. My social club had a wonderful brunch day. The staff were great and food was excellent!“

“we were just passing by and needed a bite... sweet tea, fried pickles, roast beef poor boys, fries... good price, tasty, great environment, staff were good at putting up with us. highly recommend.“

“You won't find a better location to hear live music in New Orleans. We were at The Soul Rebels gig last night, and the immediacy of hearing them in this intimate setting was fantastic. I will definitely be back next time I'm here!“

“Great music and excellent food!!!“

“I live close by and have passed this place so many times on the way to work but never had the time to stop in until today cos I wanted a fun place to go to celebrate my birthday and I've never been one for the maddening crowd that goes along with the vibe that Bourbon St. has. This place is absolutely a great little gem for those who just want to relax and have a drink. The bartender is a complete sweetheart and so friendly, the drinks are very affordable AND strong and I very much enjoyed celebrating my birthday there! It's kind of like the New Orleans version of Cheers LOL I just hope at some point they will have karaoke on the weekends but I will definitely be frequenting there more often from now on.“

“Cool spot! I was disappointed they were out of the draft beer I wanted. The beignets I had here were the best I had while in NOLA.

The roof area was lackluster. The floor was a little rickety and the seating court use some love. The bar area was cool.

My wife and I found ourselves wanting to go earlier but they didn't open until 4pm. On another night we made our way up there, just to find the close at 10pm. Short range of hours.“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“I had a great time sitting and drinking a few cocktails at this bar. Jennifer the bartender knows how make great refreshing cocktails and the building is beautiful inside.“

“This shit was smacking it was the best burger I’ve ever had im from Dallas“

“Been there 2x now and both visits were excellent..The Barthenders are very friendly and make some tasty drinks! The sirloin burgers were fantastic and definitely get the fries...should be called Gourmet Fries! Last but not least is the charming dimly lit atmosphere...Very inviting and friendly.We look forward to our next visit ⚜️⚜️⚜️“

“We discovered this bar by chance while walking around the Quarter- Lucky us! Kevin was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We were enjoying local IPAs on tap when another customer raved about their sangria. Kevin had just made a new batch in front of me so I couldn't resist. It was awesome- and you'll see many other reviewers saying the same thing. The bar is clean and in a great spot about a block from Bourbon St.(just far enough to escape the sensory overload) with bar seating, tall tables, and a lower level with more seating. Stop in for a sangria (or whatever you enjoy) and say "hi" to Kevin!“

“The best dive bar I've ever visited! A real New Orleans local spot that's such a hidden gem. Inside, lit by some Christmas lights and sometimes accompanied by some gorgeous dogs and outside feels like a total house party. A place where everyone comes together. Cheapest drinks in the world too and the kindest staff. Can't wait to come back one day.“

“Hand grenades hand grenades hand grenades!!“

“well I stumbled across this bar last week, was so well looked after by KC and the rest of the girls there. They have adopted me staff and guests, feel that I have a local here in New Orleans. Love drinking with local people wherever I am in the world!“

“Awesome You need to experience the aviance“

“Most fun bar on Bourbon St!“

“I found the best pizza in the world here. The energy and decor are unmatched anywhere else. And Alo makes the best Moscow Mule in the entire French Quarter. She was so fun and made my entire experience amazing. I can't wait for my next visit!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at a delightful new Greek restaurant that truly embodies the essence of Mediterranean culture. The delectable cuisine, especially the outstanding gyros, and the authentic craft cocktails all work together to create a truly immersive Greek experience. The variety and quality of the food and drink menu are truly impressive. The attentive and warm service added an extra layer of charm to our dining experience. I highly recommend this fantastic new dining establishment.“

“My husband and I stopped here a few times on our vacation last week. Amazing selection, great vibe and awesome bartenders! All of the staff was super nice but definitely have to shout out Sean, we had some great conversation with him! Thanks for an awesome experience!“

“Bartenders are awesome!! Especially to out of town customers. They make you feel like one of the regulars, like a resident. Absolutely one of the best customer service I've ever had.“

“This restaurant has never failed to excite my tastebuds and bring culinary joy to my life. One of our favs!!!“
