50 Best Dive Bars near Metairie

Lou & Bob's lounge Bar • $
249 Nursery Ave, Metairie

“Recently stopped by because a friend moved into the neighborhood. This is a really odd but interesting neighborhood bar. It's almost invisible during daylight hours because it's built on the side of what is obviously a house and the only signage seems to be neon signs in the windows which are covered with bars and not really visible during daylight hours. However at night the neon signs in the small windows really show up and they also have multicolored twinkle lights All along the outside walls of the building, on the bar part.Bartender Mary was very friendly. Drinks were very reasonably priced and will poured.Atmosphere... not the most up-to-date bar in town, but that's part of its charm. Definitely a place locals can go to in whatever attire they have on. Wouldn't be surprised if people felt comfortable going there in the pajamas, it's just that kind of place.This is a bar only, no food is served here. I was advised that they only took cash which is something you need to know. Don't plan on stopping here and running a tab on a card.“

After Hours E.R. Bar •

“Friendly bartender; very clean and smoke-free bar in safe Metairie. Great place to meet after work to kickstart your weekend. Try the strawberry coconut daiquiri! (The daiquiris are not super sweet like at other venues and I'm pretty sure the liquor quality is better too).“

“A geoup of 8 of us came through on vacation and made this our first stop. We had the pleasure of having Mel as our bartender and she made the best bloody mary that any of us had had in our lives! That includes all the ones we had throughout the city during our week there. Some of us came back the next day and a different bartender admitted he couldnt make bloody marys like Mel. This place gave us the best welcoming to the city. The only downside is that there's no number to call so I can ask how she made them. Thanks again!“

“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.“

“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.“

We love a good “dive bar” with character and history, and this one’s got it! The service was IMPECCABLE *chefs kiss*. Our day shift bartender (I’m sorry I forgot your name!) was a great historian and she recommended some other great establishments to check out, both in Algiers and back across the river too. Algiers itself is a beautiful, peaceful, clean place, and the folks who live there and can stop by the Old Point after work are lucky!!“

Similar to the 1st time, had a couple of beers and danced until it was time to cool off on their patio/backyard. It was DJ Haute Wave whom I've had the pleasure of rocking to @12 mile. Didn't grab any food although I probably should have. Just another solid bar in the marigny.“

Another Bar Bar • $
5039 Freret Street, New Orleans - 4.29 miles

“Another Bar I have lived in New Orleans for 2 years now. I’m about to move to Houston. I came to New Orleans to start my life over and I had only a handful of people I knew in the city. When I came to karaoke with Blazen on Sunday Nights it truly saved my life. I was really struggling with feeling lonely in a new city. When I came to karaoke at Another Bar in Jan 2024 I truly found a home. I have always felt so welcome and Towner/ Blazen has put together a one of a kind experience in New Orleans on a Sunday Night. The talent that shows up on a Sunday night always blows me away. It’s really something special. Over the past 2 years I have only seen an increase in the number of people who come out ON A SUNDAY NIGHT- many who have work early the next morning, myself included. One of the first nights I came to Sunday karaoke, a drunk college student as a joke took my phone and keys. Blazen turned the lights up in the bar and everyone searched. Blazen made sure that I got my phone and my keys back. I felt like I was family. If anyone has anything negative to say about the staff at Another Bar I challenge them to show me the proof, because I have experienced nothing but love specifically because of Towner Hagen/Blazen Haven. I have told so many people to come to Another Bar because of Towner/Blazen Haven. If she went somewhere else, so would I. And I would tell everyone I knew to do the same.“

New and fantastic every time I sneak in. Unfortunately after I left, in the rain, slip sliding over to Bourbon St. I eventually slipped my best slip and fractured my fibula, skinned my knees and scabbed up my forehead. I’m paying for it now but it was an epic adventure. Love all of you there but I’m gonna give the old liver a break for a while. 10 out of 10 if you’re cool!“
