My boyfriend and I are weekly patrons of Parlays. It’s kinda like Cheers “where everyone knows your name”. We always have a great time and have made friends that have turned into family! We always go for the LSU and Saints games and the atmosphere is always so lively! Allison, Sophie, Kelsey and Brittney are great bartenders and know what I need before I even ask! They pay attention and are very attentive! This is the best bar in lakeview and at night the bar is always poppin’! Great music and the bartenders handle the crowd with complete control and are always level headed. Everyone here is great and I don’t want to go anywhere else! This is OUR BAR!!! 😍

Great, well established neighborhood watering hole. A long time favorite of ours.

I've been coming here for well over a decade, usually for happy hour. I've seen a shift in attitude and clientele over the past few years so stopped going as a regular stop. Though I made the mistake by coming to watch the 2nd half of the LSU Arkansas game last Sat. I went with my wife and adult daughter. My wife wanted me to go in first to get a seat so she could use the restroom. I entered and it was about half full, I figured I'd get a beer first since the bar was not full so I started for the bar (mind you I'm now well into the bar nearly getting to the corner of the actual BAR. This is where I am rudely stopped, literally with an extended arm to stop my progress and the person angrily tells me I have to have an ID!!! this guy is MAD! "oh ok, my bad" I replied. My wife and daughters now catching up to me, I turn and tell them they need to have an ID because I was sure my wife didn't bring hers. I had forgotten that they started carding here at night, which I want to make clear is a GOOD thing! I'm not complaining that I got carded. I get my ID out to show him, but he shoves it away and said "sir...ladies first" (as to lecture me that I didn't let the girls go first?? I have no idea. Ok...I laugh... Eventually he cards us (my wife had hers ) and I get my wrist band but he continues to stare me down as he puts it on, I took it as an attempt to escalate....for what I have no idea! eventually I get my wrist band and I very nicely say "THANK YOU VERRY MUCH SIR" which appeared to make him more grumpy,. The whole interaction was bizarre
No problem finding a seat in the back. But took sometime to get my drinks. Bar tenders looked pretty grumpy as well and the people at the bar don't like you trying to walk up to order drinks , they're like the snobs at a Mardi Gras parade who think they own the turf they are sitting at (how are people who aren't at the bar supposed to get a drink. Maybe they should have a service station at the end of the bar to get a drink like how Parkview Tavern has it. For the most part the patrons had attitudes as well. "wow this place has changed" I think to myself. All in all a really rotten time in a place that used to be a friendly neighborhood bar.
Again I want to make clear I have no problem with them carding and having some form of security. But the person carding was all the way in the bar and appeared to be one of the costumers where people were sitting. Yet it was my fault I didn't know I should have had my card ready for him. And to be treated like this (I'm 53 and obviously not trying to avoid being carded) at Parleys is ridiculous. This place is losing a lot of their regulars. I suppose the newer college aged crowd makes more money. good for them. I won't be coming back.

The only thing that I think...they need to change is the music. They need more Hip-Hop and R&B and I would give them 5

I come here just about every Wednesday for girls night and outside of the great drink specials, Sophie is always so friendly and fun! I never have to wait too long for a drink and she gives great suggestions for fun stuff to do in the city. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I’ve been coming to Parlays frequently for a few years, one of the highlights is seeing/talking to Sophie! Not only does Sophie make the best margaritas, but she is the best person to interact with and is always in the best mood! The drinks are great, but Sophie makes the evening memorable!

Fun bar. Lots of college aged folks. Foosball table and pool table inside, cornhole outside. Was super packed when I went, some crazy wedding party was there.
