Markey's Bar

"A neighborhood sports bar in the Bywater area of New Orleans that becomes a gathering spot for Philadelphia Eagles fans during games. It offers a friendly atmosphere with bartenders who are accommodating and create a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors." - Dalton LaFerney

"Markey's Bar is one of the best spots in the Bywater for catching football, including LSU and Saints games, with several perfectly placed televisions, a long bar, and quick service. It’s a friendly neighborhood spot, with beaucoup regulars and people always hanging at the outside tables." - Eater Staff

"Serving the Bywater area since the 1940s, the bar thankfully hasn't changed as much as the area around it. The clientele is a mix of old-school regulars and transplants that have only recently docked in New Orleans, but the owner’s familiar presence along with super longtime bartenders tips the atmosphere in the right direction." - Eater Staff, Stephanie Carter

"Markey’s Bar is a classic Bywater spot, unchanged in a rapidly changing neighborhood. Bartenders are quick and no-nonsense but friendly, the regulars are lively and warm, and you’re bound to make friends with neighboring patrons if you sit at an outside table." - Eater Staff

"Since 1947, family-owned Markey’s has been a Bywater social anchor. In the last years, this corner spot received a cosmetic overhaul that reflects the neighborhood’s scaling up; nevertheless Markey’s remains a quintessential Ninth Ward watering hole with TVs, shuffleboard, darts, and 27 draft beers plus a full bar." - Eater Staff
