“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“A warm and friendly place for drinks and food. Great Irish coffee & Cajun eggnog! There’s a cute miniature street trolley that runs around the top of the room, to boot.“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“My favorite bar in New Orleans! Amazing staff with great service, always friendly and ready for conversation. Queer/trans-friendly. Quirky weird shit playing on the TVs. Usually late night food trucks from local vendors, including awesome yakamein, a New Orleans classic.“

“Amazing spot with a stellar remodel. Megan and Nikki are the best bartenders! Came on band night, and Rock N’ Soul was on fire! Daiquiris were awesome, and the new Harry Potter Butterbeer flavor is a game-changer. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Amazing bar, amazing roast beef po-boys. Never miss their annual St. Patrick’s block parties. There’s usually two. For 2025, Not positive if it’s on Thursday, March the 13 or Friday the 14th, but for sure on Monday the 17th, 2025. Perhaps Admin can make a list??“

“we were just passing by and needed a bite... sweet tea, fried pickles, roast beef poor boys, fries... good price, tasty, great environment, staff were good at putting up with us. highly recommend.“

“Pete Scherer was my great uncle. I remember when I was a little girl my great grandma (Pete's sister, Irene) and my nanny (Eileen) used to take me to the bar to see Uncle Pete every Saturday after dancing school. It really is great to see that the place he loved so much is still open. ❤“

“I live close by and have passed this place so many times on the way to work but never had the time to stop in until today cos I wanted a fun place to go to celebrate my birthday and I've never been one for the maddening crowd that goes along with the vibe that Bourbon St. has. This place is absolutely a great little gem for those who just want to relax and have a drink. The bartender is a complete sweetheart and so friendly, the drinks are very affordable AND strong and I very much enjoyed celebrating my birthday there! It's kind of like the New Orleans version of Cheers LOL I just hope at some point they will have karaoke on the weekends but I will definitely be frequenting there more often from now on.“

“Fantastic bar, great options, good people.“

“DIVINE! I had such a good time! Had a few cocktails and snacks while chilling out and resting tired feet after touring the AMAZING WWII Museum! I came up at 4:30 and stayed past 8:00 to get pictures of the fabulous sunset from the outdoor terrace. The only thing that took away from an otherwise perfect experience was a bunch of noisy unattended little rug rats running around, screeching like Banshees and disrupting adulat at a place kids should not even be allowed in! It's a wine and cocktail bar, not ChuckieCheeses! Ugh! I do not understand parents who so rudely disrupt a place and time for adult who do not want such obnoxious interrupting! It really is thoughtless and rude! I do wish the wait staff had told them no minors!

I even moved from one end of the terrace to the other to get away from the bratty daycare and they followed me! It was so disrespectful! Next time: these people need to spend a few of the MANY $$$$$ they spent on a babysitter! The certainly splurged on the drinks and food so they could afford it and there were several families and generations. Someone could have babysat or afforded a babysitter! 😡😡😡“

“Had Rollie’s hot dog, very good“

“This shit was smacking it was the best burger I’ve ever had im from Dallas“

“Bartenders are awesome!! Especially to out of town customers. They make you feel like one of the regulars, like a resident. Absolutely one of the best customer service I've ever had.“

“This restaurant has never failed to excite my tastebuds and bring culinary joy to my life. One of our favs!!!“

“Get yourselves uptown, and visit the Maple Leaf, great ambiance and easy going down to earth people. Great bands, lovely outdoor sitting area! "Come on uptown! " I would give it 5 stars!!!“

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

“My co-worker took me here, first time for me. I will say I felt comfortable and was treated with much love and respect from the patrons as well as the owner! The owner is an incredible person and gives back to his community! Very nice, strong daiquiris and excellent vibe. Thank you, Mr. Love for the introduction. It was an absolutely great time!“

“Great bar with wonderful employees. Everyone makes you feel right at home. Karaoke several nights a week. Dart, pool and food. Owner is very friendly. Reasonable drink prices and nightly specials.“

“Probably not a spot that you're going to take your mother, but let's face it - she's already in bed by the time Snake and Jake's gets going. Definitely a neighborhood spot that you could easily miss if you weren't looking for it. A great dark dive to get away to if you need a break from the normal spots and grab a cold beer.“

“Another Bar I have lived in New Orleans for 2 years now. I’m about to move to Houston. I came to New Orleans to start my life over and I had only a handful of people I knew in the city. When I came to karaoke with Blazen on Sunday Nights it truly saved my life. I was really struggling with feeling lonely in a new city. When I came to karaoke at Another Bar in Jan 2024 I truly found a home. I have always felt so welcome and Towner/ Blazen has put together a one of a kind experience in New Orleans on a Sunday Night. The talent that shows up on a Sunday night always blows me away. It’s really something special. Over the past 2 years I have only seen an increase in the number of people who come out ON A SUNDAY NIGHT- many who have work early the next morning, myself included. One of the first nights I came to Sunday karaoke, a drunk college student as a joke took my phone and keys. Blazen turned the lights up in the bar and everyone searched. Blazen made sure that I got my phone and my keys back. I felt like I was family. If anyone has anything negative to say about the staff at Another Bar I challenge them to show me the proof, because I have experienced nothing but love specifically because of Towner Hagen/Blazen Haven. I have told so many people to come to Another Bar because of Towner/Blazen Haven. If she went somewhere else, so would I. And I would tell everyone I knew to do the same.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed Chickie Wah Wah in New Orleans for the 1st time during my day weekend in April while seeing the legendary Keith Frank & the Soileau Zydeco Band! There was a slight issue at the entrance regarding our 3rd-party tickets (only $25 btw!!) But the staff was understanding and accepted our email receipt then immediately permitted entry. It was a bit warmer than expected once the dancing started but I had a mini personal fan that helped to keep the party going! Great vibes, everyone was friendly, and we felt quite safe allowing us to simply have a good time! (FYI, they also have a free rear parking lot which was greatly appreciated.)“

“Under new management! I had the black n bacon blue cheese burger. Best seasoned burger I've had in a long time. Atmosphere is great and Rob (new owner) was a great host. Very friendly crowd.“

“A must visit when I'm home, we buy them by the gallons. There's nothing like New Orleans original daiquiri!! It's where I had my very first daiquiri!

Parking: Their service is so quick that you can usually grab a spot that someone is coming out of“

“Had the pleasure of working with the management and staff at Oak and Ale to help me surprise my fiance with a small party after proposing. The staff were kind and opened the doors early for people to set up, the bartenders were patient with the children who were present, and contributed to the celebratory atmosphere. I've enjoyed coming here on date nights and can recommend it for hosting events as well. They knocked it out of the park! Thank you, Oak and Ale crew!!“

“Must've been damn near twenty years ago. I went in there my girl. We are both white they treated us so good and the dancing man. Best dance I ever seen. Didn't know about what they call the setup they bring ice and a half pint to the table and whatever you mix it with. Glad it's still open.“

“Great music and excellent food!!!“

“The food was delicious and the wine was half price for a bottle! Our server was very nice. We will definitely be back!“

“Awesome, love Martines and bartenders. Will be back“

“Cool dive bar, Fun vibes. The backyard courtyard is pretty neat. They have a little putt putt golf lane! Pool table, foosball, and eGolf inside, along with TVs and sports channels. Thursday Night Trivia @7:30 is so much fun! Dog-friendly, too.“

“Been there 2x now and both visits were excellent..The Barthenders are very friendly and make some tasty drinks! The sirloin burgers were fantastic and definitely get the fries...should be called Gourmet Fries!

“Neighborhood joint with a neighborhood joint feel. Great old spot.“

“The Gilded Perch is a great little bar to stop in for cocktails if you are in the area and definitely if you are staying in the hotel. This is a friendly bar with a definite local style, good drinks and great service. The decor is antique, but with a fun and lively flare. You can enjoy your drinks at the bar or out on the front porch.“
