38 Best Sports Bars in New Orleans

“Great food and great service! The owner is very helpful. We own a small dive bar in MS and we have used many of the ideas that Cooter Browns does! This is a stop for us when we are in town.“

“My waitress T was amazing!!!!!!! Best ever👌😊😊😊😊“

“Recently went for lunch at MRB during our vacation in New Orleans. It was the best gumbo we had on our whole trip, and we had it at a few places! I also loved the fried green tomato sandwich. Don't let the fact that this is a food truck in the courtyard of a bar deceive you...food is delish!!“

“Pulled pork Yatchos are the best!!!!! Bar tenders are super friendly and always greet with smiles.

Parking: It is located in a neighborhood where most houses have street parking only. You may have to park a block away and walk there.“

“Don’t sleep on the Schooner! They were happy to put an obscure soccer match on a big screen for us, cook us delicious food (the fish and chips were a highlight, as were the weekend special Buffalo chicken dip egg rolls), and pour us some great drinks. Amazing vibes during the day and at night, wonderful staff (hi guys!) and cozy atmosphere. Can’t recommend highly enough.“

“The Nola Leijorettes have officially unofficially adopted this cool little spot as their own. the food is fantastic and cocktails next level. we love everyone who works there and its always a good time“

“The Rusty Nail was a great spot to unwind after exploring New Orleans. It has a really inviting setup with both indoor and outdoor areas, giving it a nice balance between a cozy neighborhood bar and a lively hangout spot.

The outdoor space has a relaxed atmosphere where you could enjoy a drink and take a break from the busier parts of the city, while the indoor area still had plenty of energy when you wanted something a little more lively. They have a second floor level that works great for private events too. The drinks are excellent, and the bartenders did a great job putting together quality cocktails in a laid-back environment. Overall a great neighborhood bar with good drinks and a comfortable atmosphere.“

“Had an amazing time good people in NOLA will visit again!!!!“

“This place has a great chill vibe! Kizzy is the best bartender ever! Food was good and very relaxing.“

“Very friendly , reasonably priced excellent bar staff def b back 🍺👍“

“Ricky was amazing! We stopped for the name and to get maybe one drink and a t-shirt. We stayed for 3 drinks and bought the t-shirt. Ricky was welcoming and engaging. Everything you would want from a quality bartender. He let us know that the bar was part of the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. If he is the kind of people you hire, we will definitely be staying there next time. We were in town for the weekend from North Carolina, but he made us feel like locals. Ricky is a gem and a highlight of our weekend in New Orleans!“

“It’s The Vortex! #CENTEROFTHEUNIVERSE ⚜️💜💛“

“We enjoyed lunch here on Mother’s Day with the stepdaughter and daughter-in-law. Our burgers were delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the music was great also. Will definitely go back.“

“We're there every trip to NOLA. until the next time Marilyn...“

“The best on the water an great dining“

“Great neighborhood joint!“

“We do not recommend! I have never been treated so poorly as a local at a bar in New Orleans EVER! We have family with us from Indiana and wanted to experience an “Indiana” bar. The locals were terrible, the bartender was rude. They all took an active role in making it uncomfortable for all four of us by berating us for ordering a bloody Mary after 2pm. Would have been totally fine with just saying, "sorry, we arent offering/making those right now". Would have gladly ordered another Miller Lite (which we ordered one of and got a high life - didnt say a word, I like high life,too and figured she midheard me or did she??) Heard enough from her and the "in crowd" finally, threw her a $20 and told her we were sorry to cause trouble and left. Hope you buy yourself something pretty with the hefty, less than deserved tip. Anyone who visits this neighborhood….stay away!! Visit Markeys, Pepps or anywhere else! If you aren't one of their group, apparently you are not welcome.“

“Good wings and manager was really nice!“

“We were there recently and went everyday. Great fun with amazing nachos. we went all over and yet this was the one place I wanted to spend time at. Great place with a great happy hour.“

“I'm outside though 🙋🏽‍♀️🙏🏾🥰 Hot8 is the work out🤸🏃🚶🏾‍♀️“

“JESSICA IS AWESOME !!!!!!!“

“I LOVE the District! just hosted a planned reunion for Dominican Class of 2019! Huge success!“

“Retro Punkz is the absolute best. Had them for my wedding this weekend, and it was legitimately legendary. They have the best energy that can get ANYBODY on the dance floor. They have incredible talent and Vegas & JoJo are the nicest, most incredible people to work with to make your vision a reality. I love coming to Famous Door when I'm in town to experience their shows.“

“Great service, friendly atmosphere“

“The music was really good and engaging“

“0n a recommendation from our small haunted hotel we hit MRB for lunch. The catfish po boy was outstanding. Their drink specials were just right and reasonably priced. Two days later, we went back to try the alligator sandwich and some charbroiled oysters also spot Definitely would not call this a tourist trap. It’s like most of Nola, funky, functional and fun. Don’t confuse with Mr bs“

“Fantastic little neighborhood dive bar, but with limited menu; Google has old menu- no fish. But, good food, reasonably priced drinks; I had 12 year old single malt scotch for $8/shot. Covered and walled patio in back so I could smoke my cigar out of the wind and rain.“

“I like it's one of my favorite stop“

“HAD A BLAST WILL DEFINITELY WILL BE ATTENDING AGAIN“

“If you are ever on the West Bank in NOLA.....you have to try this place. It has been there forever and my dad used to go there when he was stationed in NOLA while serving in the Marine Corp. and that was back in the 70's. Try their bloody marys. They are my fav!“

“Great place to party while visiting New Orleans! Right on the corner of Conti and Bourbon!“

“Always a great time! Fun atmosphere“

“Great bartender and friendly atmosphere! Dexter, a local is a wealth of information on New Orleans!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! During our 5-day stay in New Orleans, we visited most of the city’s most popular restaurants, but surprisingly, the best food we had was right here at the Hyatt Regency restaurant. The shrimp, gumbo, oysters, and sushi were all delicious and top-notch.

Manager Arina and Kaleb made our evening truly special — warm, attentive, and full of great energy. Next time I’m in New Orleans, this will be the first place I come back to for an incredible meal.“

“Sneaky Pete's is the Quintessential neighborhood pub. For a week we spent in New Orleans it became our home base, where we ended each night of exploring. Great vibe, low key and spacious enough for all of us to catch up and unwind. The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, made us feel at home! Will certainly return on future trips“

“One of the most iconic bars/restaurants nestled in the Uptown area, steps away from Tulane and Loyola Universities, this establishment is a must. With its lowkey college feel, good food and incredible drink specials, how can you miss.

Dont take my word for it, go check it out.

Pro-Tip: Wednesday nights are the best 👌
