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!“

“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.“

“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.“

Last but not least is the charming dimly lit atmosphere...Very inviting and friendly.We look forward to our next visit ⚜️⚜️⚜️“

“The best dive bar I've ever visited! A real New Orleans local spot that's such a hidden gem. Inside, lit by some Christmas lights and sometimes accompanied by some gorgeous dogs and outside feels like a total house party. A place where everyone comes together.

“Holiday Family Gathering

What an experience. Sydney was a true gem in hosting my cousins for our annual holiday gathering! We had amazing service, the food was incredible and such a great space to meet.we wouldn’t have enjoyed being here nearly as much without having Sydney here to make the best cocktails ever and have the best service presence. Oak & Ale is lucky to have someone like Sydney to represent private parties and bartend. I hope they give her a wonderful Christmas bonus for the service she provides to their customers. Thanks, Sydney for hosting us!“

“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!

“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.“

“The best place to be for the grown and sexy!!“

“Food was good. I got the sampler platter and that was plenty (for me). The ensalada (salad) dressing was a little on the spicy side which was not described on the menu so I wasn’t expecting that so I ended up not eating it. Wait staff was very attentive. Drinks were good. Great place to go if you need gluten free food and like Colombian food. If you don’t need gluten free-you wouldn’t even know it. :)

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

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

“best drinks ever can't wait to get transfered back south to visit again“

“This sports bar is awesome! Great atmosphere and lots of fun. The people are great too! Highly recommend. Amazing local bar!“

“Perfect place to spend your evening! Joe, who owns the place, welcomed us to Louisiana with a shot of his specialty whiskey and blueberry. They serve really good drinks at good prices and can make just what the heart desires. It is a really cozy place with good atmospheres. It is highly recommended!“

“Lovveee the affordable Long Islands! They’re strong too whewww lol! Burgers are biggg and I’d give it about a 3.8/5! Love how laid back it is! Will be back!10/15 update - revisited this spot again! Super friendly staff, chill and lowkey vibes which is why I like it here! I sit outside because they do allow smoking inside the building! Those jalapeño peppers were the best I’ve ever tasted (you get 6 of them) and I can’t forget about the Long Islands! I like them!“

“The owner is the main boss in a brewery video game“

“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.“

“This sports bar is awesome! Great atmosphere and lots of fun. The people are great too! Highly recommend. Amazing local bar!“

“I've been visiting this location since the 1990's and it's still a hit! Delicious flavors served with genuine New Orleans flava! (I only picked up drinks, so, Idk about the food.)
