24/7 bar with award-winning Bloody Marys, pool, laundry
"Igor’s is the St. Charles Avenue barroom and pool lounge with a laundromat in the back, the oldest and possibly most iconic of the 24/7 watering holes founded by proprietor Igor Margan, who died a few years ago. A short menu sticks to what it’s always done best — burgers — and rounds it out with a fried chicken sandwich, hot sausage sandwich, and even a vegetarian sandwich option." - Eater Staff
"I remember Igor’s as a quirky 24/7 bar-and-laundromat on that stretch of St. Charles Avenue that helped make the area a late-night hub." - Clair Lorell
"I learned that Igor’s Lounge & Game Room on St. Charles Avenue was founded in 1974 by Igor Margan and even featured a laundromat; Margan later opened several sibling spots. The lounge is part of a mini-empire known for being open 24/7 and offering pool tables, solid bar food, and washing machines, and after Margan died in 2018 Brooks, his longtime business partner, kept the spots going." - Clair Lorell
"I remember Igor’s Garlic Clove as Margan’s only restaurant; it operated next to Igor’s Lounge & Game Room for seven years before closing in 2012." - Clair Lorell
"I recommend grabbing a to-go Bloody Mary at Igor's as part of the Garden District tour Chris Hannah suggested." - Stephanie Carter
