Great music, and crowd!! I will be returning!!
Hit up some late night karaoke, t-shirts are also great.
Sick dive bar. Great vibe and bartenders. Doorman is one of the worst people I’ve ever interacted with in the new Orleans bar scene. Hesitant to return based on this interaction.
Good minus the door guy with reprehensible attitude and horrible vibes. Worst in the entire city.
The name of this bar says it all. Every time I go to The Saint, it is a religious experience! I come to worship here often. Ethan is my favorite bar tender of all times! I tithe all the money I can in tips to him because he is Christlike. He lives in complete poverty and uses all the top money he makes to feed the homeless. And to foster animals who would otherwise be killed in shelters. He is so fab and even looks like David Cassidy! His music taste is absolutely SUPERB! I had no idea anyone LOVED The Partridge Family as much as I do! I cannot recccomend THE SAINT enough! I sometimes wish the large groups of complete dips*its would steer clear of this place bc they ruin the divinity of the atmosphere! But, Just like Jesus Christ or Charlie Manson, The Saint does not discriminate. All are welcome! Drinks are dirt cheap! The food is absolutely EXQUISITE if you get it from the WENDYS down the street! I once saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in a urinal at The Saint. She told me that Christ had built The Saint brick by holy brick. And that it was sacred. She told me to practice patience with the large crowds of a holes who tended to flood the bar at inopportune times, as they were destined to spend eternity in a very bad place. In this place there is No Saint. I cannot imagine. That is such a cruel destiny. Even for the man who lurks in the shadows asking me for “hugs” and tells me I smell good when I smell like dogs*hit. Or the woman who claimed that Rob Schneider was the nicest celebrity in the world. Or the psycho drenched in cologne who claimed he was going to order a drink to go yet stayed for hours hitting on a crazed girl who was trying to catch a possum running in the rafters of the patio to keep as a pet. They finally left together. They deserve each other. The Saint brought these two scoundrels together. I have also met the most divine people at the Saint. Besides Ethan, these two guys who claimed to be doing GODS WORK and were straight out of a Kevin Smith movie were two of the most fascinating humans I’ve ever encountered. I also met a man who wears blue framed glasses. I believe Christ speaks through him. He is hands down the most interesting, funny, quirky character I have been lucky enough to sit next in my life. In his free time he volunteers at University Hospital where he teaches medical students how to cure cancer through faith healing. He is also a brain surgeon and a Pulitzer Prize winning writer. I think he is autistic too. But a true savante.
THIS IS YHE BEST BAR EVER!!!!!! BUT YOU MUST BE CHILL TO TRULY EXPERIENCE THE BOUNDLESS BEAUTY OF THIS SACRED SPACE! JUST TO WARN YOU! I ALSO SAW A GIRL GET SUCKED INTO THE TV POULTERGEIST STYLE AFTER SHE ARROGANTLY ASKED “So…. When are the COOL nights here?”. Pure BLASPHEMY! I know where she went….. And it’s not technicolor nor groovy.

Good Dive bar that sometimes has live music and Sunday is usually horror movie early and old school country music DJ night later. Crowd varies between punk rockers, metal rockers, hipsters, and normal people just out late boozing. Used to be a great Sunday late night hang out before Katrina but now it is a lot more difficult to pin down when it will be a good night. I used to go a lot more and especially on Sundays but I rarely make it there anymore due to the inconsistent crowd. They have expanded the bar a bit with a back room and patio lately but I've not really used those as I usually stick close to the bar. They also close a bit before or at dawn so that can be a tad disappointing if you're ready to keep going. The pre-hipster crowd days were a lot more fun as hipters are largely useless creatures and nowhere nearly as fun as the metal and punk rock party people. Used to be a lot cheaper to drink in the joint and prices seem to have gone up a bit much for the location to make the hipsters feel more hip. It is also a bit irritating that they often neglect to stock the bar and frequently seem to be out of things. If you don't know where you're going you will probably have a hard time finding it.

The saint bar definitely has a unique vibe. We went on Monday which is strictly emo music. The bartenders were friendly, that atmosphere is great if you’re into a grungy, loud music. Definitely a vibe of their own. Fun if you’re into it.

Cameron and Jenny are the best! Cameron was so sweet and gave us some amazing recommendations for local fare, and Jenny played the Misfits for us. Thanks for making Halloween extra special ?

Supports DJs who commit domestic violence against women.
Somewhere between cozy and gritty… worth visiting again )

Up and coming to this place on and off for years. It's good to see they're still open during the afternoon and it's nice and quiet and normal but if you go there on a weekend it's going to get weird.
