Neighborhood dive with frozen drinks, pool, and outdoor seating


























"Listed as opening at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 22." - Clair Lorell

"A classic, slightly grungy Ninth Ward neighborhood dive, Bud Rips surprises with two elevated frozen drinks when the heat hits: they might be classic, like a frozen margarita or pina colada, or more creative, like a frozen whiskey sour or refreshing green drink made with mezcal, cucumbers, and jalapeno. The frozen machine has been up and running consistently for some time now, but if it happens to be broken when you visit, don’t fret — Sneaky Pickle across the street, or the Joint a few blocks downriver will have you covered." - Beth D’Addono

"According to reports, Bud Rips was also told by the Department of Public Works to remove its parklet because it doesn’t fit the City Council’s ordinance guidelines from last summer; the business has until the end of August to comply or face fines, and planned ordinance amendments are unlikely to come in time to help." - Clair Lorell

"A longtime neighborhood bar located across the street from 3200 Burgundy Street, Bud Rip’s only recently reopened its doors." - Clair Lorell
