The Best Day-Drinking Bars in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"The Friendly Bar opens at 11 a.m. on weekends and at noon during the week — that’s pretty much as early as it gets for non-24/7 bars. It’s set on a pretty corner of the Marigny and lives up to its name with welcoming bartenders and an always lively crowd of local neighbors — just don’t get in the way of any pool games, it’s serious business here." - Beth D’Addono

The Best Dive Bars In New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"The Friendly Bar, set on the corner of a gorgeous street in the Marigny, lives up to its name with welcoming bartenders and an always lively crowd of local neighbors, and — on most Wednesdays — there’s meat night. Yes, as in meat, not meet." - Eater Staff

The moment you walk into The Friendly Bar, you're hit with that comforting, familiar scent of an old-school dive bar – a mix of stale beer, well-worn wood, and good times. This isn't some trendy new spot trying to be something it's not; The Frienly bar is the real deal, and that's precisely its charm.

The Friendly Bar is a really great New Orleans dive bar, with great service and good drinks. I do not believe they serve any food other than chips and such but it is a great spot to have a few beers or cocktails. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are very reasonable. More locals and repeat customers but there are also a fair amount of tourists as well. Truly a friendly bar.

They weren't kidding, this sure is a friendly bar. Vibes are super chill and everyone is nice on either side of the bar. 10/10, would wait for an Uber outside at 3am here again

When Gavin is behind the bar, you’re going to have a great night. If you’re in NOLA, stop here for a drink.
