I like this bar and often stop by after work late night. Unfortunately the new day time lady bartender is rude for no reason. I walked in, bought two well drinks, tipped her on each drink. I asked if the patio was open since they have been having noise complaints with the neighbors and knew to ask. I was told no, not allowed to sit on the patio. All good, went out front and walked back inside to grab some water for my dogs and was told it would be a dollar? I would never charge a paying/tipping customer for water at my bar. I finished my drink and went to the restroom to fill it up with water for my puppy and saw a group of customers sitting outside on the patio. It seems she just really didn't like the looks of me? Not sure what her problem is, but that lady is not a friend of quarter workers and should be avoided. Guess she used to work at toulouse.

Bartender with short blond hair at 9:00 pm i walked in to the establishment and i experienced a racist encounter with your bartender, she didn't want to serve me. First time I asked if something was in stock she gave a nasty attitude and i couldnt hear her i asked her to repeat what she said again she rolled her eyes and ignored me and kept bartending continually i even said thank you and she still ignored. She paid me dust. I walked out. after she gave an bad attitude and others were around. New lady needed in the front if this company can't hire employees with good attitudes. Bartender could've just said we don't service blacks. Don't know her name i Will make sure this doesn't happen again. October 22, 2025 9:00pm

all of your one star reviews are about one specific bartender… maybe this is an occurring problem for you guys and you choose to do nothing he’s still rude to people when given the chance

Consistently visited upper quarter for the past year. We visited the other night for our usual, 2 shots and 2 beers. Only got around to ordering the shots before the large bald bartender with glasses analyzed our IDs several minutes, even pulling out a flashlight. No biggie, we are of age to drink just as we have been the several times before in UQ when we were ID’ed. We were handed back our IDs and my fiancé tried to order our 2 beers and the bartender snapped back at him to “order everything at once”. I get it, busy night, one bartender, several patrons, so on and so forth. None of those are reasons to be treated poorly. Left after the 2 shots and won’t be back.

Perfect French Quarter bar! Highly recommend visiting the Upper Quarter for Saints games, before & after shows at the Saenger Theatre or anytime you want a local experience away from Bourbon Street. Super affordable drinks, fun pop-ups and great staff!

This little hole in the wall is great. Awesome place full of locals and tourists. When we stayed at the hotel next door this was our go to watering hole. Friendly staff, great drinks and even better people. Don’t miss the pop up food vendors either. Some of the best tacos I’ve had. Always felt welcome and always left happy and libated

We were in New Orleans for a bachelor party weekend and topped it off with a visit to The Upper Quarter. Jason was super welcoming and a great host. It’s a great spot to wind down at the end of the evening.
