Very poor service, upstairs the bartender was very rude, we had to go downstairs for a decent drink, was strong, fair price, still not a great experience, I would not recommend

A sad place. Unwelcoming bartenders, guys always asking for money inside and outside the bar, unfriendly service, and a do-nothing owner. I hear it used to be good, but after many visits, and seeing so much drug use and pickpocketing (very prevalent here—watch your belongings if you dare), I would say skip this faded dive and try Mag’s across the street with Princesse and friendly service—oh, this place is cash only too…convenient for running 2 sets of books. If you’re a Bloody Mary fan, stop in on Sundays, tho, and make sure to pay your respects to Willamina and tell her Joshua sent you—she has ALL the stories from her 50+ years living in the city and loves making Bloody’s with ALL the garnish.

After many years of visiting New Orleans and enjoying Phoenix Bar, we were extremely disappointed when we visited the bar in October 2023. The exact date was the night of the Krewe of Boo parade. True, we entered the bar with outside cocktails. However, we clearly intended to order drinks as, the moment we finished our cocktails, we sat down at the bar. Not only did the bartenders ignore us, but they also waited on several other patrons and never even bothered to ask us if we wanted anything to drink. This was truly despicable service. And this isn't personal. We don't know anyone in New Orleans. We weren't wearing offensive clothing. We don't understand why this happened. We have every intention of returning to New Orleans. Phoenix Bar? Maybe not.

Especially the area upstairs, you are allowed to be naked

Best bar in New Orleans by far. Nice people - patrons and staff. You will have a great time here. Reasonable prices. Never a cover. Check out the upstairs lounge after 9:00 p.m.Parking: Best to walk, bike or take a Lyft.
Good drinks, good looking men and a friendly staff. We were there Omer Southern Decedents weekend. It was packed! Talked and met a lot of nice men from all over the country. Both door men were terrific. Making sure that all patrons were safe. A twink tried to slip the door man $20 to get upstairs without waiting in line. It did not work. It told the guy to take it back or he was going to drop in on the ground. All types of men.

This bar any, New Orleans has its own spirit, I like to visit there when I am in New Orleans. The floor upstairs is interesting ?, the drinks prices are extremely cheap may be the cheapest I ever seen, they take only cash though, but they have an ATM machine!And it’s amazingly open 24 hours .

Great gay bar outside of the touristy quarter. None of the crowds and high prices. Friendly bartenders and regulars. I've never been on a night that I didn't find several friendly patrons to strike up a conversation with. If your looking for glam, I would suggest another place but if you like a great friendly atmosphere, this is the place.
The worst place I have visited.
