The Saint Bar & Lounge

Good Dive bar that sometimes has live music and Sunday is usually horror movie early and old school country music DJ night later. Crowd varies between punk rockers, metal rockers, hipsters, and normal people just out late boozing. Used to be a great Sunday late night hang out before Katrina but now it is a lot more difficult to pin down when it will be a good night. I used to go a lot more and especially on Sundays but I rarely make it there anymore due to the inconsistent crowd. They have expanded the bar a bit with a back room and patio lately but I've not really used those as I usually stick close to the bar. They also close a bit before or at dawn so that can be a tad disappointing if you're ready to keep going. The pre-hipster crowd days were a lot more fun as hipters are largely useless creatures and nowhere nearly as fun as the metal and punk rock party people. Used to be a lot cheaper to drink in the joint and prices seem to have gone up a bit much for the location to make the hipsters feel more hip. It is also a bit irritating that they often neglect to stock the bar and frequently seem to be out of things. If you don't know where you're going you will probably have a hard time finding it.

A cool dive bar my friend introduced me to. I think it's a good place to chill and have a cheap drink and catch up with others. Also a good dance music place. It's small and has an intimate atmosphere. There is a separate place for those who want to smoke

Good minus the door guy with reprehensible attitude and horrible vibes. Worst in the entire city.

Hip dive bar with some classic comedy movies on in the background. Supposedly they have DJs but the night I went there (a Friday) the DJ still wasn't set up and it was past midnight. Other than that, nice vibe.

The saint bar definitely has a unique vibe. We went on Monday which is strictly emo music. The bartenders were friendly, that atmosphere is great if you’re into a grungy, loud music. Definitely a vibe of their own. Fun if you’re into it.

Cameron and Jenny are the best! Cameron was so sweet and gave us some amazing recommendations for local fare, and Jenny played the Misfits for us. Thanks for making Halloween extra special 🎃

not a vibe. still giving 3 stars cuz a couple of the bartenders are cool ppl. But the last time I visited the door guy was so rude for no reason. And then the bartender inside was extra rude and when we tried to order a drink just made sarcastic remarks towards us that weren’t even funny at all. Don’t get me wrong I love a lil sas but they straight up must hate their job or something cuz they were so disrespectful to their customers.

The pleather wearing virgin who runs the door completely ruined the experience. If it wasn't for him, I would have recommended this bar to everyone I know. Instead, I can't tell anyone to go here because I worry that the door man will verbally assault them. Do yourself a favor and drink anywhere else.

Definitely a unique experience. Always something different to see every time you visit. Friendly staff.

Would have loved to go to this place bc I've heard good things but the door guy is an absolute jerk so I left. He checked my ID in front of the solid closed door then handed it back and let me sit outside while I waited for permission to walk in. After several minutes I asked "are yall at capacity or is there a cover? Can I go in now? " his response was " I didn't say you couldn't go in , did I?" Asshole. I sat outside for no reason, trying to be courteous to this man and he just let me sit there. ...I wont be back.

This place is all sorts of bad vibes. As my wife and friends tried to make our way inside, the doorman insisted on seeing our IDs first. We're all in our 50s. Ridiculous. He was trying his best to be a huge dick. Welcome to The Saint. Once inside, there was nothing about this place that felt good to me. We had to deal with some crusty-looking lowlifes who appeared within a few minutes of our arrival. I nearly got in a fight with one tosspot in particular who kept putting his hands and arms on my wife. I'd already talked to him once, letting him know she was with me and not to touch her. He responded with some gibberish I could not understand. I don't think he was speaking English at all. Before long, I decided to call a Uber for my wife and I because I could just feel that it was past time to get the hell out of this dive. Minutes before my Uber arrived, that same miscreant walked over to my wife and put his grubby arm around her waist. I walked over and abruptly removed him from my wife, then directed her to head toward the exit. As I turned around behind her, this motherfucker grabbed my arm from behind whereupon I spun around, ready to fight. My wrath was incurred at this point, to say the least. We were suddenly face-to-face, but I think he instantly regretted touching me because it didn't take him a second to see the look in my eyes. He put his hands up, muttered something intelligible, and then sulked away. At that point my wife and I departed this pisshole, never to return. My friends and their wives stayed, however, but soon wish they hadn't. After I left, the same shithead with who I nearly got into a fight for touching my wife followed my friend's wife into the woman's restroom. She did not know this creep had done this until she was exiting the stall, where she found him standing there waiting for her. This motherfucker tried pushing her back into the stall, but she managed to rush past him and ran out of the restroom. As I said, bad vibes all night at The Saint.

This place sucks, bouncers are terrible. Pick fights for no reason Wouldn't recommend. Garbage!!

I live nearby and used to come here every couple weeks for the cheap drinks and fun dancing on Fridays and Saturdays, but I will never go back after my last interaction with the door guy, Angus. Beyond hostile and disrespectful, especially towards women, the other negative reviews are accurate. I'm not sure how someone who clearly hates their job and the bar's customers so much still has it.

I was at The Saint tonight with a group of women. A guy got creepy and the DJ stopped his set to tell him to leave. Love a safe fun late night dance spot!

Best after bar in the area. This is the spot to come if you wanna see locals F uped in the area. Equality DU as well as clientele, its a local tradition to spend a late night here at The Saint!!!

BEST DIVE BAR IN TOWN!! Love this place. Everyone is bitching about the door guy being an ass but let's be honest, just show him your Id and move along, no need for conversation and who cares if he's rude? He's keeping all of the drunk obnoxious MFers out that you don't want to be annoyed sharing the bar/ bathroom with. Thank him next time. Anyway, this is an "industry" bar.... shit pops off after midnight. Love the late night DJs and AJ is the best bartender!!! I usually find myself blacked out, embarrassing myself on the dance floor or spending too much money in the photo booth. Always a good time. They also have ghost pepper tequila. Get ready to call out sick tomorrow

security is absolutely rude to women but does not disrespect men. very strange and ruined the entire night for me and my friend.

Great place to end the night! BUT THE BOUNCER IS AN ASSHOLE. he mad me scared for my life! He started yelling and about to get physical with me.

The Saint is definitely a go-to for late night music and dancing. I mean seriously, late. People don't arrive to this place until 2:30am. The drinks are ok as far as price and strength. The DJ is always pretty good...they typically play a mix of current and throw back rap/hip hop/pop hits. It is just SO. EXTREMELY. HOT. in this place during the hot months...pretty much as hot and humid as outside, but worse because it's a whole bunch of people packed into a room with zero ventilation. Thank goodness for the Gatorade jug with water. But otherwise, it's a good move for late night music and dancing...the only other option is pretty much Frenchman.

Door guy sucks. Dude acted like coronavirus was born yesterday and was a dick to our one friend out of ten that didn't have his Covid vaccine card on hand. Dude takes his job very seriously so If you're as passionate about being a door guy at a bar then this is the spot for you!

The latest discovery in New Orleans. I'm so happy I made it to The Saint! My boyfriend and I were staying in the LGD, and got into town on Tuesday night and settled by midnight. We were in a predicament: we can either go to bed now, wake up early and start fresh in the morning....OR....find a drink and see where the night takes us. C'mon, we're in New Orleans, do we really need to think about it? The Saint is tucked away from Magazine street. We actually ended up missing it at first, and started drinking at another pub. But after one drink we were super excited to find The Saint. I wasn't sure what to expect from The Saint, especially on a Tuesday night...well I guess technically Wednesday. I was surprised to see a bouncer at the door. We went in and the smell hit us right away. Yep, we're in a true dive. There were about 4 people at a bar, another group of 4 people, including a woman with her small dog by the altar (?), and someone belting out on Karaoke. It was Karaoke/Tiki Tuesday! Despite being Tiki Tuesday, I opted for an Old Fashioned, which was very well made, and my bf stuck with beer. We found the one lone table on the corner of the dance (?) floor and spent the rest of the night watching different people sing karaoke. The bf and I were impressed that people were selecting really random songs, not the usual karaoke BS, you'd find some frat boy singing on Bourbon Street. And the DJ! The DJ, I forgot her name, was HILARIOUS! It wasn't a big crowd by any means, but she was very naturally engaging. We ended up leaving close to 3am, and the crowd couldn't have been more than 12 people by that point. I can only imagine how crowded it gets on the weekends, so I'm glad we went on a damn Tuesday. Chill people, chill vibe, great drinks. I will be coming back!

What an interesting place! Not what you would expect from the outside - a pretty big place. Lots of open space to dance around inside. There is a nice outdoor area with a bar that is quite large. Bar staff was friendly and chatty. A bit of strange decor but just because it is not my style. Tried one of their daiquiri's and was happy with how it tasted. Prices seemed reasonable! They had a jukebox and a photo booth - you could pay for them both on your tab.

Sometimes your curiosity gets the best of you and you have to find out what's behind the door. Walking around the neighborhood we stumbled upon The Saint and were curious what this joint was. Without checking Yelp and opting to just find out for ourselves, we walked into this bar to discover some flavor. From the one-of-a-kind-altar, karaoke night on Tuesday, a sex toy arcade game, photobooth, and all the eclectic decorations- we knew we were in for a fun time. Drinks are very well priced and this bar is no frills when it comes to its vibe. Stellar liquor selection and ample amount of seating, inside and out, you can guarantee you'll have a great time. Bathrooms are definnitely divey but you wouldn't be walking into this joing if dive bars weren't your jam.

Having a blast! The Bartender is friggin awesome! Great value on drinks and i will definitely be back

Oh wow. It had been quite sometime since I'd been in the Saint and probably never as early as I was this most recent time. But this where friends wanted to hang out after dinner, so there you go. Like all NOLA bars, I'm so glad they are non-smoking now. I seem to remember barely being able to see my friends through the haze. Yes it's a dive bar but they offer a solid pour...I wouldn't order anything fancy. And the bartenders are great, until you annoy or anger one then you might as well leave. But that's the way of all dive bars. They usually have a guy on door who is appropriately terse and will check your ID, no matter your age so that's fun. As always, entertainment value depends on who you're with and what's going on around you.

This review is Lucky #666. I debated on what to review for this milestone and finally decided on The Saint. Towards the end of a long night out, a friend suggested we try the Saint. I had heard things, but never been myself. This was an odd place. Inside there was a room with people dancing to local rap music, and another room with a bar. We chose the bar. Service was acceptable, and the beer was reasonably priced. We did choose PBR since it seems that drinking expensive beer in a place like this kind of misses the point. In fact, I don't even know what other beer they may or may not have. The music was loud and primarily rap. This was perfect for me as I was able to rap along which always impresses people. There were some interesting people in this bar. Some guy was ranting to me about some government conspiracy while another was just staring at me as if I was an alien. This was not a negative and actually made for a much more interesting experience. I am sure I will end up here again.

I think this is the first review I've ever written. I went with my kids 24,25,26 and my daughters boyfriend and his siblings. In town for Jazz Fest. I get people doing their jobs. Took into account where I was at and the vibe. Left with my son, as I was most likely the oldest person there. The bouncer was beyond rude. I can't think of anyone that I've ever encountered so classless, rude, and disrespectful to a woman. Can't imagine that's who this place wants representing them. Said something to the Uber driver and he laughed and said every single person he picks up from there says basically the same thing. I get he has a job to do and from the looks of it, it is a tough one late at night with underage people trying to get in. I'm 55 and just wanted to sit on the seat outside waiting the 3 minutes for my Uber. Finding the lemonade, I said to my son that that is exactly how you should never speak to a woman. He laughed and said he'd never. That's a win in my book.

This place is terrible! Staff has terrible attitude towards guest. I went out with a few of my friends and we were approached very aggressive from the bartender and security guard. The disrespect was just unbelievable and he lost my interest when he told my friends and I to order a drink or get the f*** out. After that this place was not going to earn my business. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

This is the epitome of a dive bar. From the jukebox full of obscure music to the claw machine full of sex toys (?!?!), this place is downright disreputable. Our Uber driver even noted that there is only one bar in New Orleans worse than this one. That said, the bartender was cool, we had the place to ourselves, and the drinks were real strong.

Partied here for Halloween 2016. It was off the chain. A VIP local rock god was working as the DJ and the locals seemed to have no clue who the F@;k they were mingling with!!!! This will be visited again soon.

It was sometime between 12 am and 6 am a Tuesday and they had a person checking for IDs sounds promising only thing was when I entered there was a small crowd, there was bunch of dudes singing drunk karaoke, a few wondering girls at the bar. Yea you guys go sing I'm fine here at the bar, everything was purely conversational, not drunk enough to fight off someone but when I leave and someone follows... The drinks cost more than the bars I just came from but reasonable, I would've gone back there, at least better drinks deals and more space, but there seemed like more people here. I walked around a little looking around for a hidden room or something literally it was as big as my garage. I hung out a little at the bar ordered a few drinks, took a couple snapshots, conversed a little, checked out the scene, and walked out after about half an hour. Maybe on another night this place might be the spot but when I left the only thing I could think about was where the hell can I get a tetanus shot this late. I kind of liked it but not so. Service was friendly and environment was decent. This place is rugged but they have what seemed like a full bar, daily drinks, and a happy hour.

Is M.O.T.O. Still on the jukebox!? Always worth a night of drinking when visiting garden district

After a serious review of my review I find no reason to not add a star since, by some miracle, I survive every visit to The Saint, which is saying a lot. Please preface my update with my previous review. It all still stands. What have I gleaned from my serendipitous visits over the last 4 years, and my most recent experience this NYE?...I will tell you. Leave any 'tude at home. This space is NOT, dare I repeat, NOT big enough for it. No 'tude. Just good or weird vibes can pass the librarian-meets-orc defender bouncer, with proper ID, through the dark foyer (I'm not sure what else to call it but you'll understand if you ever go) into the Saint. Most recently, I had some dudes looming over me that were like, "dude, I was here first...no I was here first." You're not in line to get a cookie during little recess, bros. Your neediness scares away the 'tenders. Act like you totally don't want that drink, and you will be served promptly. Recent Discovery #1: Go With A Daq! There is no need to act like a badass and order Jameson shots just to realize you also want a vodka soda so you have to act like you don't need a drink again for another 15 minutes...'cause, hello, the rotation has started over again. Back to the daqs...they have delicious options! I asked for a chocolate-y one, and they had TWO, not one, but TWO options. Real talk, I can't chug uber-cold drinks, so one of their daqs can last me hours so no need to patron the always busy bar as often. And if you were to ask the 2:00am version of myself, they ain't too shabby. And no one gets 'tude when drinking daqs, and if you do, you probably need to go see someone about that. Recent Discovery #2: The Photo Booth! I WISH I could tell you whether or not it just took cash or credit as well, but my recollection is that it's just cash per my hazy-but-somewhat vivid recollection of yelling for more dollars at anyone passing by. You call it a hot mess, I call it makin' memories. Also a great space if you would like to have an earnest conversation with a person you just met that doesn't remember you the next time you're there 6 months later (spoken through a friend). Recent Discovery #3: Sex Toy Claw Machine. I haven't so much discovered it as just kind of looked at it. I have been known to extricate a fluffy bunny or two from such machines, but alas, I probably need to carry some coinage with me next time I visit The Saint. Last Discovery...I must keep to myself. It is the sole reason I was not swept away by the wave upon wave of overly-eager patrons that crashed into The Saint at the ungodly hours when it thrives on New Year's Eve. ...and no I have no bathroom aka Hobbit Hole updates. Last note, and this isn't a recent discovery. This is like the ultimate rule. Never. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. ever ever. ever. Don't ever check the time and/or say it out loud while you are in the four...er. maybe like six or eight walls of The Saint. Quite possibly the biggest sin you can commit in there and you will immediately be transformed into the biggest of fun sponges that ever did live. Personal experience? Wouldn't you like to know...

I had a great time early Saturday night. Was traveling alone and having had a great dinner walked to the Saint. Bar tender was cool and local crowd was enjoying a movie above the bar. Had a couple of Jameson's and grabbed a souvenir shirt for my daughter. Very reasonable and just plain fun!!

Lol The Saint is pretty far away from Magazine and other bars in general, and always expensive to get to by uber/lyft/taxi. Very divey even for a divey DJ/dance joint. A bar with a questionable identity and loads of unneeded attitude. More of an late AM place than an early AM place or a night starter joint. Have credit card minimums, small area, very confined outdoor area (not completely open air, so all the cigarette smoke does not ventilate out). Every night I go I am fortunate I survive to the next day. Strange decor like some of the other reviews said. Just not my thing. They had a dirty photo booth that doesn't work. Overall sloppy, I wouldn't want to go back but I suppose there's not really much in this area.

cool bar but little bouncer dude Jonathan or something, was a power-hungry baby. guy disrespected our entire family and disregarded saftely for our group. totally unprofessional and and embarrassment to the industry.like everyone else says

I'm not sure where the "metal" fits into this bar, because it has been overrun by non-local hipsters for years. Decent dive bar, yes, used to be grungy and a little rough around the edges, absolutely; however, still having an old copy of "Ride the Lightning" in your jukebox certainly doesn't constitute being called a "metal bar" to me.

I live very nearby but have never been inside, just outside many times. I feel the need to warn readers that "The Saint" is in an extremely dangerous neighborhood, less than 2 blocks from the infamous "River Garden"; think the looting videos from Huricane Katrina days. Couple months ago, a patron stepped outside "The Saint" for a cellphone call and was shot there by strangers. Five, including a 3-month old baby girl were shot in a drive-by a couple blocks away earlier this year. There are many, many better choices within a few blocks; including Jackson, Down the Hatch, Half Moon, leCitron, Cafe Roma, Parasol's, Eleven79, Sun Ray, Ugly Dog, Dino's, Rusty Nail, Brick Courtyard, Bridge Bar, Rum House, etc. Famous "Magazine Street", with many interesting places is a little over a block away, but a world away re safety. PLEASE, keep Yelpers safe !

Ha. My friend said that this bar was located in "sketch ville". I had never been before tonight. Maybe I had, but I sure don't remember it. Cool bar, from what I could tell. I got a beer and headed to the back. Nice and dark back there. Private, just how I like it. It's nice to know a place like this is uptown. I'd definitely go back. The people seem nice and I like the atmosphere. One of the places where you can just be left alone if you want.

Really like this place,. The location is on the spooky side, but he, makes you feel cool to go somewhere that you may not belong until you step inside this bar. I gotta admit im embarrassed, I had been to this bar 4 times before I realized there was an outside patio. That only made this place a 1000 times better. I been here when it was a quiet night, maybe a little early and everyone (6 people) was at the inside bar watching Jackass2.5 I been here when it was so crowded , I wished everyone was a big fan of deodorant as I am. Either way, everytime I came, I had a great time. Im more of a beer drinker than anything so I cant comment on the mixed drinks but by the looks of it, they appeared to be pretty stiff. The beer selection is decent too. On tap is nice, Blue Moon, Magic Hat, Abitas to name a few. The music they play when a DJ is in has varied greatly. Walked in once and they were jamming to Reggae, another time it was a Cure night and the most recent, we were bouncing along to some NOLA Clap. I havent been here for a metal night, but im looking forward to it. Did I mention that I really like this place?

Wish I could better recall my visit here but I remember having a great time. Definitely a locals' haunt and the drinks are cheap, cold, and strong. Place is dive-y for sure with just the right amount of grit but patrons are friendly. Loved the outdoor area and the photo booth. Will return and hopefully remember more! ;)

A friend of mine DJs a black metal night here, so OBVIOUSLY i had to check it out. I was pretty stoked after hearing about it from my local friends, but when i walked in.... HIPSTERS?! What the fuck?! My friends quickly explained that new management was trying to turn it into a trendy dive bar, but they were doing their best to keep their watering hole and were still allowed to run their metal night, so hopefully the alternative crowd won't get run out of there. No frills, no gimmicks, just a tiny, dark bar with taxidermy on the wall, graffiti everywhere, and.... a photo booth!? (i assume that was installed after they tried to appeal to the hipster crowd) Drinks were awesome, and i recall the special was actually $6.66 haha. After about an hour of metal most of the hipsters were weeded out, and i was even more impressed since some of them stayed and seemed to enjoy themselves. Guess i shouldn't judge a book by its cover. One hipster chick was chewing out her boyfriend for not knowing who Judas Priest is. The tiki-esque patio area out back was totally nice to since if the music was too loud, you could just step out there to chat and warm up a bit. After consuming many MANY drinks my bf and i convinced our friends to cram into the photo booth with us. Hilarity ensued.

Anyone who is anyone in the Irish channel hangs out here. Come here Tuesdays for kareoke. Party on the weekends. The bartenders know their cocktails and are fast. But most importantly, they are the cooolest folk around.

The Saint's a pretty good dive. My friends came here on a late Saturday night. We arrived a bit after midnight to find the place fairly empty, with a DJ playing to a mostly empty dance floor. There's a small outdoor patio. The bar's in the middle of a neighborhood - which the bouncer will remind you of if you linger too long out front. The beer and booze selection is decent and the prices are reasonable. The staff and patrons were incredibly friendly. Though tired I was pulled into a couple of different conversations between the bar staff and the regulars. The crowd picked up around 2-3 in the morning, which everyone said was a regular occurrence. I checked out around 3, when the crowd got a bit too big for me. I'd definitely check this place out again - I had a lot of fun!

Good food in this small unassuming place. There was a frozen drink special that was yummy and they carry all of the NOLA foods at reasonable prices. Parking lot right across the street so this is a good place to park, eat then enjoy the Quarter.

When it's 5 a.m. on a Sunday night (well, okay, Monday morning) and you've got three hours until your flight, and only a few extra ducats in your pocket, you arrive on the doorstep of the Saint hoping for some reverie. You bust open the door expecting no-one except the bartender, and instead tumble into the coolest rumpus room this side of a Peoria track home basement. Heavy metal, punk rock and Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" grace the jukebox and whiskey and High Life are the drinks of choice. Oh Saint, thank you for coming back. Thank you for re-illuminating your neon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Gotta say, I hit about 40 bars and restaurants while in NoLa and this was probably my favorite! It is a drinkin person's bar, not for the faint of heart. I went with a group of about 20 with the intention of having one drink. Last thing I remember was jumping out of a moving cab to go back for one more. Seriously love this bar. Dark place. Strong drinks. Back yard patio and bar! I'll be back!

What a S**t hole, really, the definition of the dive bar, and its really the model for NOLA dive bars. Smokey, small, dirty, and filled with a range of rummies, hipsters, and dirtbags. I love this place! Don't go too early, The photo booth is also fun, especially with properly motivated and lubricated subjects. Myself I prefer the patio as its less smokey, but watch out for the vomit that may be hiding in the shadows!

Never was very thrilled with this place, and then their door guy decided to get an attitude with our group.

I've only been here once so take my review for what it's worth-- Divey bar that's on the sketchy part of Magazine; there's been crime in the area so be safe when coming. Beer and liquor selection seemed plentiful and included all the top shelf stuff. We sat outside and watched the crowd grow rapidly between the hours of 12am-3am. Mostly everyone hanging out in the patio was very friendly and everyone was sharing their tables with each other which is freakin awesome (and rare!) Dance floor was poppin but like most places, I'm sure there are nights when the music just sucks and no one dares to walk on the dance floor. Thankfully last night wasn't one of those nights. I made some gal pals that I'll probably never text but whatevs. Definitely seems like a happening spot to meet people!

The Saint really isn't my cup of tea but that's not why I'm giving it a low review. If you're in your 20s and enjoy the club scene, this is definitely a great place to be. I was with a friend who used to frequent this establishment when he was in college and he wanted to walk in for a few minutes to check it out. He doesn't live here, so he wanted to take a picture of the sign above the door at the entrance. The sign is a neon sign so it took a few takes to get just the photo clear. The doorman who didn't want to be photographed held his hand in front his face, which was fine. But the neon sign made it difficult to get a clear shot, and the bouncer at the door was extremely rude and customer unfriendly - dropping F-bombs on us and gave us a complete horrendous attitude. We totally respected that he didn't want to be in the photo and we never even had him in any of our attempted shots. When I review restaurants and bars and ever have a bad experience, I would never recommend firing anyone. But this was quite the experience. If I was the owner and saw the way this bouncer treated us, the customer, I would've fired him on the spot. Right now, this guy definitely has no business working in the service industry where he has any interaction with the customer. I'd either fire him or put him in the back washing dishes. This incident occurred on late Friday, Sept 18 (or early Saturday, Sept 19).

Grimey. Sweaty. Divey. Awesome. The Saint is a great neighborhood bar that looks a bit like a strip club without a sign from the outside & doesn't feel much cleaner on the inside. Leave your pretentious friends behind & hit up The Saint if you're looking for a fun, not at all touristy spot that's open super late & serves up really stiff drinks.

I am new to Yelp and wanted to start off by including the Saint which I frequent regularly. I didn't join Yelp to complain all the time. Mainly wanted to join so I can praise my favorite joints. Service depends on who you get which day of the week but Sammie is my favorite! The overall atmosphere makes it one of my favorite very late night bars in town to party til the sun comes up. Some days thereare DJs and you just never want to leave!

Drinks were a reasonable price & the environment was sooo cool. My boyfriend and I went in and enjoyed a few drinks while listening to Andre 300 and watching a chuckie movie! Would recommend to stop by! Sadly we were there early so we weren't able to see any of the other entertainment they had later that night

The vibes, the people, the place, the music, the drinks. Always a new and interesting crowd Sat night after 1am...which is like the time to party there. Always a blast and a true local spot where you can dance until 6am and still not want to leave! Yas!

There comes a point in life when something clicks and you suddenly realize you are in public....Holding 9 shots of Jameson, 4 cans of PBR and a minty coffee beverage that tastes like the soul of an innocent girl scout. Surrounded by graffiti. Its dark. Its dirty. And its sticky. You look around. What day is it? What was I doing here? Where did I come from? Was I just roaming around in a frenzy of some kind? Who are these people, these faces? Where do they come from? You're right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo, and somebody is giving booze to these goddamn things. It won't be long now before they tear you to shreds. Panicked, you make it through the double doors at the front entrance and realize you are 1 block off Magazine street. The sun is out. It's only Tuesday. And you're at the Saint.

Only in NOLA.... Seems scary from the outside, but the inside is SO FUN! One of the greatest dive bars in the history of dive bars. There is a small bar area to the right with a jukebox. When you enter there is a DJ "booth" and a large area that turns into a dance floor late night. In the back, there is a small-ish outdoor area with another bar. It has everything a dive bar needs, a little dirt, a little eclectic decor, cheap drinks, and of course fun and vibrant patrons. Try the frozen peppermint drink ($5). I don't know what is in that mystery drink sent straight from heaven, but I bet you can't drink more than 2 without experiencing heavy levels of intoxication. PS $10 min on CC's. ATM on premises.
