The Old Point Bar

Took the ferry over to Algiers on our recent New Orleans trip- planned to just wander but found this place and decided to check it out- what a treat!! We love a good “dive bar” with character and history, and this one’s got it! The service was IMPECCABLE *chefs kiss*. Our day shift bartender (I’m sorry I forgot your name!) was a great historian and she recommended some other great establishments to check out, both in Algiers and back across the river too. Algiers itself is a beautiful, peaceful, clean place, and the folks who live there and can stop by the Old Point after work are lucky!!

Great old-school neighborhood bar on Algiers Point. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, drinks are "locals" priced, and they have amazing music on a regular basis. Quite a few movies have filmed at this place. Great place to go for fireworks on NYE and July 4th, as it's right on the levee, and the fireworks are just out in the river. Highly recommend any time. If you're visiting, it's a short walk from the West Bank ferry landing. Ride the ferry over, grab a bite from any of several restaurants, and grab a cocktail at Old Point.

Heard about this spot from a local and it did not disappoint. Took the ferry over which was $4.00 in total, quick ride over the Mississippi. Only a few min walk off the ferry and we were there. Town was lined with lots of cool old homes and felt like a world away from New Orleans. The bar tender was friendly and told us about the movies that were filmed there. Had a few drinks,chatted, and listened to the jukebox. Definitely a fun experience.

Large locals bar about 6 blocks from the ferry terminal. No food, but they have 1 pool table and a stage. They also have a few video poker machines Great place to stop for a quick couple drinks.

Great vibes. Musty smell, but added to the vibes. Pool table and darts. Stage setup for live music, but none was playing tonight. Right along the river so a great place to stop if you’re in the area or going for a walk. Quintessential Algiers.

Cool locals bar. Anyone from a small town has been in a bar like this. Feels like home. The kinda place you can leave your wallet and phone on the bar and no one touches it. The people go above to tell you about the neighborhood they are rightly so proud of. Great people. And yes we will be sending gifts. Thank you for all your help and advice

CUTEST BAR!!! L ❤️❤️❤️ DOG FRIENDLY!!! 🐾 LOVE this cute quaint spot and the live music is amazing!!! Beers were about $5/6 bucks. Very decent prices. We took the the $2 Algiers ferry over the river and walked about the town.

We are staying in Algiers for my bachelorette party and wanted to find a little dive that we could hang out at regularly. The old point DELIVERED - Cassandra the bartender was there every night and was absolutely the best. She was kind and thoughtful and went out of her way to actually buy decorations for a mini Bach celebration at the bar on Friday night. I cannot say enough good things about her - thank you SO MUCH Cassandra! We love the old point, 10/10 would recommend. God Bless Louisiana 🫡
