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!!

Some of the most laid-back entertaining people. So willing to never be a stranger to anyone. The beer selection is great, the alcohol pores are exceptional. Can't say enough about the bartenders. The music venue, booking calendar, fantastic job. I challenge you to tell me where you can go to listen to such good music for 5 or 10 bucks. Plenty of seating inside and out, parking is just as easy.

We took the pedestrian ferry from New Orleans to Algiers and walked 10 minutes to the bar. Ferry is modern, $2 fare, well staffed - it runs late as well. Algiers was an old neighborhood, but pretty clean, there’s a great path on top of the levee, we felt safe enough. The bar is “divey” but clean and well managed. We were very comfortable there. There is no food service - so we got pizza delivered. Staff was courteous and attentive. Nice stage, and a really good band called River Rock played ($5 cover – Elvis, Steely Dan, Petty, Springsteen, Eagles, Huey Lewis). It was worth the $5! Overall a great experience.

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.

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

Didn't eat. Had a drink. But the vibe revived my love of New Orleans
