"Frances Cocktail Lounge is a South Side institution — it’s been around for 53 years, and still going strong. It’s a local favorite for both its commitment to the community, and its laid-back atmosphere. Happy hours are popular here, with daily specials, and a D’USSÉ Lemonade is the perfect way to unwind." - Vox Creative

Harahan’s Hillbilly Bar-B-Q Dumps the Dining Room | Eater New Orleans

"I was surprised to read that Bar Frances unexpectedly fired chef Mimi Assad today — Assad reportedly had no idea the pink slip was coming, and owner Mark Latter confirmed there was no advance notice; there’s no word yet on a replacement, and Assad brings a strong pedigree from top New Orleans restaurants like Angeline and Josephine Estelle." - Stephanie Carter

It’s 12:16am. I’m here at Frances and the establishment is not open, but it says the establishment is supposedly open until 3am. Waste of time, energy, and money to travel to be a patron to a black owned company just for them to disappoint. Could’ve at least made it public that you would be close. It’s easy to change the time on google too.

Cozy little dive bar for old heads & OGs. If you are lookin for a poppin spot this aint it, but the vibes are there & the staff is pleasant. I would come here for drinks & nothing else. No tvs, hookahs etc but there is a small patio where you can smoke out back. You've been warned!

I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy and in a bolder more obnoxious life, I actually think I can pull it off. In the meantime, I'll just keep absorbing as much of it as I can via Netflix and most recently, Frances Lounge! A few weeks back, a friend told me that Frances hosted an open mic/comedy night every Monday featuring local comedians who had been featured on national comedy shows/radio stations and more, would be there, so I had to check it out. And I was not disappointed. I hadn't laughed so hard at a local show since the "All Jokes Aside" days back in the early 90's. Just Nesh, Zach Boog, Kenny Howell, Tony Woods and others lit up the stage and had us patrons rolling until close. If you're a South Sider and looking for REAL laughs, real drinks and real folks on a Monday night, you can't do better than Frances Lounge.
