These Are New Orleans’s Essential Dive Bars

"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 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.

There are no words for this establishment. Tonight was my first time back since the year 2000. And it is still an amazing neighborhood bar.
