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.

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

The second coldest fireball in town. Great outdoor sitting area—vibe weird on my one side? Go to the other! Good prices. Ice cold beer. Pool table. TouchTunes.

Super Friendly Service! No really, I was waddling by & needed a cold beer. Got that and a shot of Patron. Nice pour 😉👍✌️

Mixed on this place. I’m not privy to the names of the bartenders, however the bald guy that works late night is a little rough around the edges but typically fun and enjoyable to talk to. The big guy that seems to be a manager possibly owner is a giant unfriendly DB. Last week sitting at the bar, it took 10 minutes for the DB to acknowledge I wanted a drink yet other customers walked in after me were served promptly with a smile. When he comes to me I get a stoic look of unwelcomeness, I get the message.
