The Bulldog, Uptown

One of my favorite bars uptown! The service is too tier— Tabitha is the best bartender. She made all our drinks so fast and they came out delicious. Devin keeps the vibes so high as well— best bingo host EVER. And even the food was great— we had loaded nachos and they came out piping hot and full of flavor and toppings. Will definitely be coming back again

Been there a few times and plan on continuing! Great food, quick service with fountain sodas and free refills.

Overall: I probably wouldn’t go back. I had to come in and out several times to order and serve myself so I didn’t even get to relax with my group. I had to order and pay for the bar tab and food tab separately which was just inconvenient. I paid $13 for a basic cheeseburger with a frozen patty and it didn’t even come with a side. The staff wasn’t very friendly or attentive. The only real pro for me was the dog friendly patio where minors are not allowed. And the quesadilla was good and fairly priced.

If you're looking for a lively night out with a mix of drinks, laughter, and friendly competition, The Bulldog’s bingo night is a must-try! I recently attended their weekly bingo event and had an absolute blast. The atmosphere was energetic but relaxed, with a great crowd of regulars and newcomers alike. The host Devin was hilarious, keeping the game engaging with witty commentary and playful banter. The bingo itself was far from boring—there were fun twists and even some cheeky prizes (even a High Noon sign!). The drink selection was solid. The staff was attentive and made sure everyone had a great time. Whether you're a bingo pro or just looking for something different to do on a weeknight, The Bulldog delivers a fantastic experience. Highly recommend grabbing some friends and checking it out! Thanks for Hosting Devin and Tabitha for bartending!

Love coming to the Bulldog. I can bring my puppy and they have treats for her too. Play bingo here on mondays and win the coolest prizes! Plus good prices on drinks and food is speedy. Def recommend for a good pregame spot or a week night chill hang :)

Awesome burgers. The Works burger was one of the best I have ever had. The meat was soft and succulent with plenty of tasty toppings. Wonderful selection of beers. Being from England the friendly locals made me feel right at home.

Good choice of craft beer. Quesadilla (with guacamole add on) was just like I always imagined (hoped) to get.

I’ve always liked The Bulldog, so I was genuinely disappointed by how things went today around 2 PM. The kitchen was backed up, and we were told they couldn’t take an order for our group of five, which felt odd for the time of day. Can’t even take the order, huh? While my brother-in-law stepped outside to take a phone call, his full beer was cleared from the table. Staff said it was because it had been left unattended, which I can understand from a policy perspective. What didn’t sit right was the way things were handled after my mother-in-law asked about it. I heard the staff member making snide remarks about the situation to nearby patrons, not realizing I was part of the same party. When I closed my tab, I let her know I had heard the comments. It left a bad taste, not from the food, which we never even got to order. Don’t come here. It’s not the same place it used to be.

The wings here are good. Saucey without being soggy. I also like their chips and salsa. The salsa is very mild but that's ok. They also have awesome waffle fries. Casual atmosphere to watch a game or just hangout and drink with friends. The beer tap fountain is also pretty cool. Friendly staff and bartender.

Tons of interesting drafts on tap? Check! Friendly staff? Check! Great looking bar? Check! Cool outdoor shaded patio? Check! Good food? Nope. Sorry. Nope. We arrived here right from the airport. Luggage and all. The bartender said she was also from Pittsburgh. We chatted briefly. Ordered a draft each and sat down. The beers were good. The selection was really great for drafts and bottles. The drafts change frequently, the lines are clean and it shows! This reminds me of an old english pub back here in the 'Burgh. I really enjoyed myself. We ordered some food, but it was not very good. Kind of "restaurant depot" basic, freezer into the fryer type. Pop in a for a beer. Eat elsewhere.

This place was ok. Our bartender didn't have great people skills. We ordered some water to start and were told to "help ourselves" to the water from an Igloo cooler at the end of the bar. I then asked for a food menu and was told to get it from the window on the opposite wall. Only drinks are ordered from the bar and food is ordered from the window on the opposite side. Two charges for one visit. I ordered two burgers, cooked medium and the Amber Fries. My wife's burger was medium but mine was well-done. The Amber Fries tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in months. Pros: Nice Atmosphere Great beer selection Pet friendly Cons: Bad food Below average service Separate orders/charges for food and alcohol

As a black man, this business kicked me out tonight because I asked for a water instead of a beer!! So, In order to stay, I told the guy I would purchase one but he responds back, we're passed that! Jim is a gas lighter and I will never let this go until I speak with management on Change! Generally, when some customers have a seat they have a water first and then follow up with an alcoholic beverage. I wasn't given the opportunity! I just want Jim to treat a black guy in a hoodie and sweat pants the same way he would treat another race that's wearing a suit and tie! I would like to Jim to practice patience and communicate better with his customers! I'm not sure how we got here but I would love to speak with management and get an apology from this frightening event that unfolded. I was calm, understanding, and respectful, but I didn't receive those things back in full!

We just popped in here real quick for a beer, but they were so nice and quick. Asked about a few beer options and got quick answers and got served up fast. The ambiance reminds me of a good old Marine Corps tavern.

The service was quick, wonderful beer selection. Had a peach sour that was really good. But wow, the food is terrible. I was shocked at just how bad it was. Fries were pale and unseasoned in any way. The quesadilla was bland, and soggy. Go for the beer, not the food.

Okay, so they have about 40 beers on tap. That's a great selection, but how many can you drink. We went for happy hour. My pint was "only" $8.50, so many beer isn't part of the deal. I tasted a couple of beers in those tiny plastic cups usually used for serving medications-pills-at hospitals. They couldn't give smaller tastes unless they used droppers. Cocktails were supposedly 2 for 1, but ours looked and tasted like a single. I don't know about this place.

They just can't get their act right So many staff members yet- Idk Can't keep beer in stock Some bartenders are great some are just miserable The kitchen situation is just a joke Still not open Idk Terrible happy hour With three new bars opening next door and across the way you need to do better Now

Nice outdoor patio and good vibes with big TVs to watch sports games! Easy to find in the Garden District of NOLA! We stopped by this little gem on a weekend trip to NOLA and loved their selection of beers! We didn't order any food so cannot comment on that, but the atmosphere was very pleasant and service was relatively fast! Many people were outside on the patio enjoying beers and watching a game on their TV. I would recommend stopping by for a drink or two!

Very nice beer selection. I'll have to go back and try the food. I was only drinking my calories on this visit. They have a chill outside seating area for your party. Bartender was ok.....smiles go a long way. She must of had a bad day or something. Reasonable prices.

By the time my friends and I arrived here, we were all already three sheets to the wind. What exactly does that mean, "three sheets to the wind"? I know it means "to be drunk", but where, exactly, does that phrase come from? Well, I'll tell you, because I looked it up. The sheet is the line that controls the sails on a ship. If the line is not secured, the sail flops in the wind, and the ship loses headway and control. If all three sails are loose, the ship is out of control. That's what we were - out of control - especially my wife, who thought it would be a hoot to pick up glasses and start hurling them against the wall at The Bulldog. After the third or fourth glass shattered, we were told to "get the fuck out" by the bartenders, and rightly so!

The beer tap fountain caught our eye as we were strolling down Magazine Street. We had been hanging out in the neighborhood all day on a super hot day in June and after we finally called it quits, we decided to hole up in the Bulldog for a few hours to cool off and have some drinks. It was a Thursday afternoon so the place was pretty empty but a few people came in with the best doggos ever (shout out to Duck and Magic!) so our dog loving crew was ecstatic to hang out with some most excellent doggos! We basically just hung out and shot the shit with the bartender for a few hours - he was great (forget his name). Drinks were very reasonably priced since we were there during happy hour time. Overall, great place to hang out for a few hours! The patio outside looked really nice but it was a million degrees out so we were not about that life lol.

Nice bar to hang out at while waiting for our table at a nearby restaurant. The bartender was welcoming & gave us some suggestions on local breweries & beers.

Bartender with long hair was so rude. We leave before take the order. So mean. Not recomendable

This is the first bar we went to in New Orleans. We walked right into a table, and all ordered drinks. The bartender even turned on the bucks game for us, which was awesome. The drinks were delicious, and they had a whole bar length of beers on tap. There is food offered, but we just had drinks and enjoyed the game. It is a typical bar, low lights, and some t.v.s for entertainment. The outdoor patio is well lit and gives you a bit of people watching to enjoy.

Go to neighborhood dive/sports bar with lots of outdoor seating on magazine st. Alcohol: -$10 minimum at bar** -lots of beer options and bartenders are very helpful with explaining local brews and letting you taste test as you'd like -options for sours and mixed drinks as well Food: -standard bar food, order on the right as you walk in, they give you a pager for when its ready Overall: -great location on magazine st -Lots of outdoor seating, great spot for nice weather or a football game (there's a tv outside and several tvs inside)

They have the best cheese fried I've ever had. I am a cheese fry junkie. The Cuban wrap was also incredible. We had our meals delivered but the food is so incredible, I will come back to sit in and enjoy all I can!

The Bulldog uptown is a great spot to hangout! They have a large selection of beers on tap. Their food is very yummy as well. The waffle fries are a great snack to pair with your beer. They have a full kitchen with lots of bar foods. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is a little dark and great for a casual night out. Outside is a great spot to watch a football game on a Sunday or enjoy some New Orleans weather!

I usually don't write reviews for a bar that I pop in for a drink or two, but the service that we had was great! We popped in to have a few drinks before going to dinner and I'm not a huge beer fan. I got the Nola watermelon Weiss which I wasn't a huge fan of. I asked the bartender for a suggestion and after discussing a few things I liked and disliked she suggested a Parish Greetings from Holly Beach with a shot of Malibu added to it. It was fantastic! Never would have thought to add a shot of alcohol to a glass of beer and I enjoyed it so much.

This would be considered a "neighborhood" bar in Wisconsin where I am from. Solid beer selection, bar food to help soak up the beer that was just consumed, and a great staff. It was right around the corner from the house we were staying at and was a stop on most nights. They have a nice outdoor patio to imbibe and a great vantage point to people watch on Magazine Street. Along with the beer, I opted for the Tex mex egg rolls. Clearly homemade and tasty, these were a cut above those southwestern cousins that are served at Chilis (but to be honest, I haven't been to a Chilis in over 10 years but still think they are better). Is this a destination stopover? Nope. But does it scratch that beer and food itch when you have it, most definitely!

Great staff, good food, great times. This is the place to come for a simple night of drinking and relaxing

Great dive on Magazine to grab a cold beer. The bartenders are solid. The inside is dark but they have a patio outside that you can enjoy. This is a good place to go alone, with a friend, or an entourage of friends. Clothing optional at certain times of the year-wink!

They're alright. I've been a couple times for a drink or a snack, yet somehow leave with a 'meh' feeling with how those turned out. I do think the staff, location and ambiance make up for it though - great place to hang out with a friend on a sunny day and watch people walk by on Magazine. Also, a bit pricey, but not too much relative to the neighborhood.

I'm so glad this bar is still operating during COVID. Today was a tough day and I needed this DRINK ! The service is great and they still have HAPPY HOUR! It's only outside dining with two seating areas inside. The Hurricane is a nice frozen drink but with less alcohol than a Daquri. The crawfish banditos were way better than expected, I'm glad I came to this place.

The watering hole of my early 20's (20 years ago) hasn't changed much over the years. Still nearly 50 beers on tap, same indoor arrangement, same solid bar food. I don't remember the outdoor fountain being there back then but regardless it's an awesome fountain with the beer taps supplying the water. The Bulldog has 48 beers on tap. The good: It's very organized as they are numbered and described on one of the several laminated menus that are easily accessible. They change out a few of the beers each month and they feature a new micro-brewer each month as well. The bartenders are knowledgeable and can help even the most novice of beer drinkers find something they like. The bad: Too many blah beers. They used to cater to the craft brewing lovers only, but they now have Coors, Miller Lite, Bud Light, PBR, Blue Moon, Yuengling and an Angry Orchid cider. Basically the Applebees of beers. So in reality they have 38 beers on tap and 10 to appease my mom and dad. Obviously they sell a lot of them or they wouldn't have them on tap so hard to blame them. The outdoor seating area is an awesome place for the cooler months but they try to make it tolerable as well during the hell months of summer with misters and fans. The burgers, wings and nachos are always solid bar food items. My only issue is I wished they would bring back the punch cards from 20 years ago that got you a free T-shirt and your name on a plaque if you drank everything on tap.

Best beer selection on magazine! Great outdoor seating, dog friendly and pub food to boot!

Trash. Trash bartender with a horrible attitude and blue eye shadow. Horrible cook that overcooked everything that came out. Horrible music that would push anyone away over 27, and of color. It was a really awful experience. I've never had overcooked nachos, burnt burgers, dirty tables and nasty attitudes all wrapped in one. Awful.

The Bulldog has over 48 draft beers and around 100 bottled ones. I don't know how many I've got, I lost count after the 3rd. Each one had that fresh-from-the-oven, crisp, thirst-quenching taste! Also, I somewhat remember getting a burger, which was surprisingly delicious. Was that because of the beers or they just have good food as well? ;-) Oh, also great bartenders! I wish I got their Instagram info! The Bulldog at 5:29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oc9q9SMTFM&t=372s

I haven't left a review on Yelp for years but after today I felt it necessary. This place has a very good beer selection and below-average food. The reason I am leaving this review: the service. Twice in the last couple months I have been treated like absolute (you know what). The first time, I let it go. But after being completely ignored at the bar for nearly 10 minutes, today, I decided to leave a review. The bartenders, here, are RUDE/DISRESPECTFUL beyond any other bar I have taken to in this city: and I have lived here for over ten years. On a Saturday afternoon, the Bulldog was FAR from busy. I sat at the bar for 10 minutes, as stated, and watched as the bartender serve a couple regulars to my left, then walk past me to gather glasses from the surrounding tables and load them into the dishwasher, which was directly in front of me. He finished, then served the people to my right, gathered more glasses and loaded, then walked away. 5 minutes pass and he walks by again and again. Finally I say something to him with a very cursory response suggesting he didn't notice me. That's absolute bull. There are plenty of other reviews here that indicate the same level of service/treatment. I'm not sure why the bartenders in this place feel such an undeserved sense of self-worth but it's pretty obvious that management doesn't care and it will continue. Sick of walking into this place as if I owe it to the Bulldog to be a customer. There are all kinds of fantastic bars within walking or streetcar distance, where the service staff genuinely appreciate and take an interest in you as a customer, and person. Please think twice about giving this establishment money for overpriced drinks and food.

Food was ok, but the bartender was rude and seemed quite inconvenienced. It was not that busy but he was impatient.

I don't drink and I do not frequent bars unless I am in a group where the majority does. My stepdad, who happens to be a Georgia Bulldogs fan (I know...unrelated), saw this place and thought hey...let's go here, simply bc of the name. We liked the outside courtyard with its fountain and inside of the place was pretty cool too. It was moderately crowded for a Monday but we found a table right away. Bartenders were great...the guy at the food window was super friendly. Our fries took awhile and when we got them, they tasted pretty good. There were 4 tv monitors up with 2 different games. I liked the vibe in there and it was moderately noisy. So, not so noisy to where you couldn't hear the people at your table, which was a plus. I definitely recommend this place!

Six Reasons to Visit The Bulldog: 1. Wednesday pint nights. If you drink a beer, you get to keep the glass...and the glasses are actually worth keeping. To this day, my home is still stocked with them; my favorite will always be "Willy Nagin and the Chocolate City."* 2. Sipping on any one of the countless amazing brews they have on tap is a win, especially if you grab seats on the patio. I'm partial to the Wiseacre coffee milk stout they have right now. The selection is constantly changing though, and it's a certainty that you can find something you'll love. 3. Like any good beer bar, they care that their drafts taste great. Clean lines, fresh kegs, clean glassware, nitrogen/CO2 pumps, etc. 4. There's no better way to reuse old taps than the fountain in the backyard. Bonus points because the change goes to a good cause (animal shelters). 5. The King's Nachos. Get them with pulled pork, like a champion. Also, waffle fries. 6. Last time I came in, there was a dog costume contest. Nothing is better than drinking and watching puppies run around in costume. And I do mean nothing. That seems like enough reasons to check them out. ____________ *If you don't know, now you know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Nagin#.22Chocolate_City.22_speech

The bulldog is an awesome place to have a drink or a draft, one of the best draft selections in town. It gets s little crowded but it has an awesome shaded patio outside that is always fun to hang out. The beer selection changes often and the variety is excellent. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the food.. just eat somewhere else. It's not good

You order your food inside at a bar that has nothing but barstools. I don't like bar stools because I'm short and climbing is annoying. Also I've been to bars like that at least 4 or 5 tables and regular chairs. You have to order your drink from the bar, which is new to me. Most bars that I've been to have you order your food and drinks at the same location. What's even dumber is the fact that I got carded while buying a coke. Didn't know non alcoholic Coke products required to get carded. I sit outside because it's the only area with chairs and I'm kind of annoyed with that because I didn't want to eat in the heat. I wanted to eat indoors. My wings and waffle fries are good. The wings have just the right amount of sauce and the fries are cooked well. I just wish I didn't have to scarf it down quickly so that the flies wouldn't get to it. If you like the bar scene then this place is for you. The food is good but not worth eating outside and being attacked by flies.

Cameron is awesome! Have him make you an Old Fashioned hehe. Relaxing atmosphere great happy hour with an amazing selection of beers in tap

Food was undercooked we did not get all that we ordered from them through door dash. And as long as it took for them to make the food we should have gotten everything and it not be under cooked. You'd think for a $16 burger you'd get better food.

I've been here on several trips to NOLA. Today I got the Amber Fries to go along with my Abita Amber. It was also especially nice that the weather here was mild and good for drinking beer. Then again, when is it a bad day to drink beer?

The Bulldog has long been one of my favorite uptown watering holes. The patio is awesome, with a TV to catch your favorite game. The inside is cozy, but the patio is where you'll want to be. Service is solid. Drinks are good! One of my top day-trip recommendations is to take the streetcar up the Avenue to Audubon Park, walk the park to Magazine Street, then walk Magazine downriver as far as your legs will carry you, stopping at bars like the Bulldog! Trust me on this one!

Must stop for any beer lover. Great selection of beers on tap, and a great patio to watch Magazine street and the locals.

A great bar with 48 beers on draft, and my tab with 4 drinks was less than $40. The most expensive drink was a spiked frozen lemonade -- $12. A new bartender waited on us and she was amazing! She let us try a few sours before we decided. : )

Cool pub with an outstanding craft beer list. Great patio area with the most awesome fountain.

We had fun. Pups had fun. Food was good. Bartender was nice and helpful. I'll go back.

Great drink specials! Great atmosphere. We came in from Texas and we were happy to find this place. The choices in beer are crazy.

Today me and my boyfriend go to Bulldog to get drinks. We notice that everyone outside and everyone inside doesn't have mask on. So when we walk in the bartender tops us and ask if we have a mask. I said "No, everyone outside and no one in here have a mask on". Then he states "its state law to have a mask on. I replied "but no one have a mask on in here or outside so why can't we get a drink and sit outside like everyone else that DONT have a mask on." All he could say is that we needed a mask while people are talking, laughing, coughing with no mask in SIGHT but we need a mask. We had to leave. This is so backwards if you really care about the virus you wouldn't have everyone without a mask in there instead of picking and choosing who can and can not come into the bar. This is so unprofessional and I would not recommend this bar at all To NOTE, they had other people that walked passed and just entered the bar with NO MASK and were NOT questioned about a mask. Do to state that Mayor Cantrell enforced mask but YET you only pick and choose. That is NOT right. So miss me with the excuses.

The Bulldog is a burger and craft beer bar in Uptown New Orleans with a stunning courtyard and miles of wood paneling inside. This is a simple, well-worn, winning equation for greatness. And the Bulldog is great. I was visiting New Orleans for work and decided to walk from my hotel in the warehouse district to The Bulldog. I walked through the beautiful Garden District and really was impressed with New Orleans. When I arrived at The Bulldog, the cook greeted me, asked if I had ever been to NOLA before and then promised to make sure I had a great time during my visit. Genuine Southern hospitality here folks. I ordered a delicious burger with cartelized onions, waffle fries, and a "Holy Roller" IPA from Memphis. It was perfect. I'll visit again. This is a great beer bar in a great town.

Stopped there during a hop on off bus , these young girls working don't seem to care , not a good vibe would not ever go again

Great service and location, we enjoyed the patio/sidewalk area. Clean with cold beer, nice place to wait while others shop on Magazine St.

Wow. It's been over 6 years since my last review and my, how this place has changed. I don't know if there are new owners, but Bulldog is now a full fledged "craft beer" bar. Gone are the days of Budweiser and Coors light on tap. Almost every tap has a local or other craft beer and I couldn't be happier about the change. The entire beer system has been replaced and is shiny and new. There's an extensive menu of draft and bottled craft beer and the beer menu is displayed on one of the tv screens at all times. Bulldog has partnered with Untappd, so you can link your beers to the bar and keep track of what you've tried. I guess because of all of these changes, the vibe here is just different. It doesn't have as much of a college feel as it once had, I think probably because all of their beers are a little pricier than they used to be and most college kids don't have much interest in craft beer. On the night we were here the crowd was definitely a little older than I've seen in the past. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but I get the feeling it is. They still have the kitchen serving the same bar grub that they always had. And much of the decor of the bar is the same, although I did notice that all of the "fake" celeb autograph pics that used to be all over the place are now gone. I like the change, but there's something I'll always miss about the "grittier" Bulldog. This used to be my hang out when I was in my 20's and there was just something about it. That old feeling is gone, but I'm excited that they have gone more into the craft direction and are now a "legit" New Orleans beer bar. I was excited that they had Jucifer on tap, so that made for a happy birthday when I was here celebrating.

$5.22 for one Abita Amber!!! Seriously that's almost a 6 pack across the street at Breaux Mart! I can buy a keg of Abita Amber and the serving cost is around 85 cents for a large solo cup that holds more than the Bulldog pints so I would expect a bar could get a quantity discount for even less. The price gouging corporate demon anti-NOLA culture to the MAX has fully taken over with that!!! This is no longer a locals bar and now is firmly entrenched as a tourist establishment of ill repute that especially caters to Tulane students from the Northeast that are nostalgic about paying New York City prices in the Bulldog. They need to open a bead and t-shirt shop next door as they Bourbon Street it up on this section of Magazine... Bulldog ownership has totally lost the fact that volume is where you make profits and I'm certainly not drinking volumes of anything at their current prices where back when Abita Amber was just $4 a pint I would drink many on a daily basis here as I used to enjoy this bar. They have completely driven off all their regulars here and all the staff that worked here for many years is gone. This bar is dead to me now. Abita Amber prices at other area bars: $2 PITCHERS Reginelli's Pizza Monday, Tuesday and other announced times. $4 Rendezvous Tavern ($2.50 on Wednesdays) $4 Balcony Bar (cheaper for announced specials) $3 Ms. Mae's $2.75 Brothers Three $5 New York Pizza for a slice of pizza AND an Abita Amber Bourbon Cowboy 3 for 1 special works out to about $2.50 per beer for Abita Amber.
