11 Best Pubs in New Orleans

“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!“

“Good food and inexpensive In the garden district. I had the loaded tots and smash burger both were very good. Probably the best hamburger I’ve had in New Orleans. My friend had the Caprese sandwich and pork grinds she also enjoyed her meal. Great spot to grab a bite to eat. Not a lot on the menu but what they do have on there they know how to cook it.“

“Awesome food, drinks and admosphere“

“Great wee pub situated at the final corner of the Charles Street streetcar route. Doesn't look like much from outside but inside is great old fashioned bar. Food was excellent and freshly cooked. I had several Blue Moon beers but there was a lot more on offer.“

“It is the best place for Irish coffee in NOLA…“

“Located in Mid-City, The Holy Ground Irish Pub is celebrated for its unique offerings.The atmosphere adopts a laid-back charm, enticing patrons to explore a diverse selection of over 30 high-end whiskeys and bourbons.The one we are selecting from the Holy Grounds selections is Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey.“

“Great place to attend a show or perform. The sound here is great!“

“Simply the best, best people behind the stick. ♥️“

“Great place I go visit and have fun“

“Excellent service (they have buzzers! I don’t need to listen for my name in a crowded bar!) and tasty food. In addition to bar time bites, their food travels well (due to some thoughtful packaging, bread isn’t stacked atop meat, etc) and I am able to grab stuff on my lunch break. A welcome addition to Mid-City!“

“I lived down the street from Ale for three years and absolutely loved the place. The setup is perfect. I describe it to my friends as "A casual bar on one side with great beers on tap, and then a nice wine/cocktail bar on the other side, connected by a patio between the two." They have something for everyone at Ale or Wine, no matter what you drink. They also have one of the best burgers in the city and you can quote me on that.I love going to Ale to watch a Pelicans games on one of their many TVs, and they open early for Tulane and LSU games sometimes too. The staff is very friendly and provide great service. Also the bathrooms are always clean.There are all sorts of people that come to Ale, whether they are locals, couples on a casual first date, a local business having a staff party, or a group of friends grabbing a drink before a show at the Maple Leaf.“
