Vic's Kangaroo Cafe

Sat for a brew and chatted with the bartended/ manager. Super friendly and great chill spot Ladies… the bathroom stalls have shower curtains. I thought it was fun and interesting but fair warning if you require more privacy

My new favorite "dive" bar. The lighting is low, which I appreciate. Solid jukebox. The staff are friendly and attentive. I wasn't expecting to be impressed with their menu, but the jambalaya and Shepherd's pie are so good, very filling and comforting! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area or stay nearby again...possibly as soon as today.

Great bar and nice patrons!! Down to earth atmosphere. Fair pricing. Fast and friendly service. I was with a wedding party that stayed in Cambria. We ended up here several times and I ended up meeting and having a very deep conversation with Andrew, who lives around the corner. What a breath of fresh air to meet some one like him. We should have switched contact info but my wife needed to head back to the room pronto. To Andrew: Sorry we didn't end on a high note. But, it's folks like you that give us a fair shot at a better tomorrow. If you see this, please reach out to me via IG: american.zhangstar

Great vibes, cool bar. Some of the worst food I have ever had in my life. Do not order the Shepherd's pie.... it's microwaved and barely edible. Honestly, they should be ashamed of serving food that bad in New Orleans....it was so, so, so, bad. Bartender was cool, and drinks were pretty cheap. But oh my lord, DO NOT order food here!

Very cool bar. Johnny was a super friendly and helpful bartender. Good Australian beer selection. Pretty tasty jambalaya too

Great customer service, friendly bartender, and speedy service! It’s a little ducked off hole in the wall, in my opinion due to the decor and location. I would definitely visit again in the near future. There is also outside seating with miniature tents that you can sit under. It’s diagonal from Barcadia on Tchoup! We mainly ordered drinks and eventually some jambalaya. I recommend

Drinks were good, they had the right football game on, bartenders were personable and helped with recommendations around town. one ENTIRE point off for the womens bathroom which was capital G GROSS.

A fun place for us Aussies to go. Even though our barman Dave was flat chat he was friendly and enjoyed a laugh or two with us. I was really pleased that Dave knew how to make a lemon, lime and bitters just like from back home. Thinks to note: not open on Sunday’s it seems and not open until 5pm but check posted hours of course. Buy the t-shirt too. Wishing I had.🤦‍♀️😭😂

Not a very busy place, and had a lot of room to sit and eat! Service was fast! The food was decent for at late night eat! It was only $20 too!! I enjoyed the Shepherd's pie more than the pizza.

We went here in search of late night food after getting into New Orleans after 10 PM, settling into our Warehouse District hotel after 10:30 PM, and walking up and down Tchoupitoulas but finding the humidity bearable at 11 PM. After walking into another bar that had just closed its kitchen for the night, they pointed us in the direction of Vic's. I think it must've been the only place in the area to grab a bite to eat at that hour. Though it claims to be an Australian-themed bar, there was nothing very Australian about it besides the flags plastered around the bar. It's divey. Clean, but pretty divey. If I had any doubts about that, the menu certainly reaffirmed it. You can take your pick between jambalaya, shepherd's pie, and pizza -- all frozen (our pizza certainly was) but reheated in the back. I nursed a Blue Moon at the bar as we waited for our cheese pizza. It was nothing special but hit the spot since I had been traveling for nearly 12 hours at that point. We came here for pizza. We left wondering if we should've gotten a pint of Australian beer to accompany our pizza instead. (Surely they must have at least one option on the menu to qualify as an "Australian-themed bar," right?)

Definitely a great place for late night pizza and delicious drinks. They don't have straws because they are apart of the ocean wildlife conservation movement (which is awesome because animals rule!) I come here a lot because the bartender are hard working people who have seen so many fun crazy times here and they always making sure everyone is having a great time. Their AC is one of the best on a hot day. Tell them Ruby sent you.

A great place to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat. Came here off late night after it was one of the few places selling food late night. Pizza was a hit, drinks did snag if needed to do and service was solid. No real complaints. Kinda like a dive bar feel.

Dimly lit but clean, cold drinks, hot pizza and quick service. What more can you ask for?

Love this old bar. You might run into Harrison Ford or whoever famous star is in town. Love Tyler and Zac.h. Two of the best bartenders in the world.

Best neighborhood bar in The Warehouse District of New Orleans. Period. Great staff; fun ambiance. I highly recommend Vic's.

Absolute horrible behavior from our bartender, passive aggressively forced us to tip him per drink and not after we closed out. There are countless dive bars in this neighborhood and the next. Drink there.

A fun dive bar with good service. They are up front that their pizza is frozen, but they do what they can to season it up and cook it well. They even suggested alternate places if we wanted food options, but this was exactly what we were after for the hour. The drinks were well made and the prices were extremely affordable versus other places nearby. If they have any pie, it's also very good. The Aussie aspect of the place may be inauthentic and gimmicky, but my wife and I wish we had tried it earlier in our trip. Again, this is a dive bar, so it's 5 stars for what it is and I'd thoroughly recommend it.

This bar just recently re-opened. It's the anomaly in CBD - a neighborhood bar frequented by locals in midst of the hotels and tourists that spill over from French Quarter. Definitely a laid back vibe - come here for beer and a plate of jambalaya!

Best dive bar experience we had in Nola. Friendly staff, killer jukebox, fun bar games, cool people. The pizza was everything we needed at 1am and more.

Cash only $10 hot and greasy pizza! Not fresh but great for when you are at the local bars and need a bite to eat. Also a great place to grab a drink.

on our way to Briquettes we stop here for drinks. bigger inside than i thought. Great drinks for a reasonable price.

This bar is killing it in the signage game. I've come by twice, and here's what the sign read: 1. Abs are cool, but have you tried beer? 2. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, you'll be OK. Don't be a little bitch. I pretty much agree strongly with both those statements, especially since they used the correct version of 'you're.' On top of that, the drinks are strong, the people are cool, and there's a pool table.

My favorite bar in all of NoLa - relaxed atmosphere, good people, tasty pizza when you need a late night bite. Being right off of Tchoup has it next to a lot of things to do, but I always make time to stop in for a cold one and a laugh. My go-to spot when I'm in New Orleans!

Local dive bar in the warehouse district. Not bad, but the bartenders are not the friendliest by no means. They seemed to be much friendlier with the locals. Unless you are a regular I'd go somewhere else. Lucy"s across the street had much friendlier service.

Some of the best pizza in New Orleans. Who knew! And of course fantastic live music, and a rad venue, another fantasic spot in New orleans to hear some local jams and eat some good food.

Terrible. ..I mean terrible pizza. It's crazy they use a real pizza oven to cook up what tastes like dollar store quality frozen pizza. Even if you're drunk this pizza will be a letdown. Bar tenders are pretty cool, but stick to well drinks.

Beer menu. Great late night stop in N.O. Air conditioning, sidewalk seating. Cold beer, Aussie wines. Local watering hole 2 blocks from vieux carre

Two bartenders (both had beards) were awesome and extremely cool. However, there was also a younger bartender with bleached blonde hair and a green cutoff shirt who might have been the rudest and most aggressive combative AH I've ever seen entrusted with the responsibility of bartending anywhere ever. He ruined the vibe. But when he wasn't there (especially when long-haired bearded bartender was running things) the vibe was very cool--sort of like Cheers meets New Orleans (friendly and fun).

Seemed like a cool place to grab a drink until we encountered the bartender, "Allegra". Disgustingly rude. Horrible attitude. Was very ugly to us. We were arriving with a party of 20+ to grab pizza but she was so rude we decided to go to Jimani (right down the road, great food, and GREAT staff).... Sad the bar has to suffer because of such a bad apple. Hopefully they find better bar staff.

Great late night spot with killer bar staff. That right hook delivered to that huge ogre meathead was awesome.

I hadn't been in Vic's in years when I stopped in the other night. And while it's a huge open space with lots of tvs and seats, it's still not going to be on regular rotation because of the cigarette smoke. As Vicky said, even if you don't seen anyone smoking the place just smells. The drinks are cheap. So maybe dash in to order, then sit outside in front of the bar if the weather is OK. The regulars are generally welcoming. But the bathrooms are odd. The stalls do not have doors instead they have curtains...which seems really unhygienic.

There are several places throughout New Orleans that I may have been before, but I can't remember ever visiting. Vic's is one of those places. Vic's has been a popular warehouse district hangout as long as I can remember. I remember many of the bartenders from my old job heading here after their shift, but either I never went, or had such a great time that I cannot remember ever setting foot in the place. Now that I have visited and actually remember being here, it is time for a review. Despite its location across from Lucy's, Vic's seems to attract a much more relaxed, non-meat market type of crowd. Nothing against those folks, but I gate bars with that vibe. Vic's seems to be a place to relax with friends and enjoy your drinks. There is nothing pretentious about the place, and I enjoyed being there. The bar was very crowded when I visited, but the wait for drinks and the bathroom were manageable. Since it was so crowded, I took my drink out front and watched the crowds heading to and from Lucy's. It was highly entertaining, especially when I demanded high fives. If you're in the warehouse district and just want a laid back place to drink, come to Vic's.

One of my favorite watering holes. The staff is always friendly, the beer is cold and the prices are fair. I'm glad they made it through the pandemic.

So this place can be a little douchey, but it is quite accessible as it's optimally situated by various other evening hang-outs, so there's that redeeming quality. I can't say I've ever spent an extended period here, but from what I've observed, it's pretty all right. Vic's is seemingly a laid back, almost dive-y kind of joint. Everyone seems to be in a pleasant mood and happy to be sipping their beers or liquors. It can get crowded at times because it's quite a limited space, but it's not unbearable - no snotty patrons or bartenders. They have your usual greasy bar food should you require it during those late evening hours after excessive drinking. For me this is a pretty all right place to be passing through for a few drinks but not so sure I would ever dawdle here for more than an hour.

Some good Shepard's Pie. That's all I really gotta day but Yelp needs a certain amount of characters to post.

Try the Sheppard Pie! Reasonably priced beer and drinks. Good food with a kicked back atmosphere. Definitely a place to chill and relax

Had long day and bartender wouldn't let me put my head down. I was extremely tired and he wouldn't let me put my head down multiple times. Kept waking me up.

Hey lemme tell you something and I've been around the block a time or two I tell you what. My buddy was ejected from this bar for no reason and I am not a happy camper. So I told the bartender to cancel the bill but it was too late our buddy was removed violently and my card had been charged for the pies. We did enjoy the thin crust pepperoni pizza and would recommend it was delicious but I wouldn't be back.

Just landed in NOLA for a long weekend and was looking for a bar near our hotel (The Old No. 77). Bartender David was great! Super hospitable and gave us some recommendations for our visit. Loved the '70's era jukebox and the relaxed atmosphere. Apparently stays open till 4 am for you night owls. We'll be back!

OK...a little bit of honesty. Vic's and I have a long sordid history. At any point in the 15+ years in business I have either been: a. That passed out guy at the end of the bar protected by staff. b. A Vic's Pied Piper trailing a group of drunken idiots towards more idiocy c. A friend and beneficiary of the wonderful owners. I remember finding this bar on the day it opened, with Mick Fleetwood look-alike and barely intelligible Vic behind the new bar with a crock pot full of hot dogs and a great deal of charm. Since then, a great deal of my memories, mostly positive, and a great number of my friendships, again, mostly positive, have come from this NOLA dive-turned-Aussie dive. When I was in need of surgery, they held a fundraiser to help. When we didn't want to go home after a crazy night out, they were open and serving some sort of food. No frills, no bullshit...just a BAR. Take your trendy shit to the curb. Attitude is met and beaten back. This is my "Cheers" and always will be! '

I didn't want to write a review about this place as its one of my secret hide-aways (which I want to keep secret) but the cat's already well out of the bag. This is my favorite bar in this section of the Warehouse District as they always have cold beer at a fair price with attentive bartenders. The food is generally good and they have one of the best shepherd's pies in the city. Most of the crowd in this area seems to stay focused on Lucy's so you can either deal with waiting and standing over there or you can almost always find a seat in Vic's and get quick service.

I have drank here several times prior to being a Yelper...back on January 22, 2013 was my first time in since Yelp....Honestly, I'm a little behind on some reviews and that allowed John L. H. to steal some of my thunder.... Every time in I have liked the laid back, chill atmosphere of this place....dark, dingy and downright mellow... I usually like to hit this place, sit at the bar and drink Guinness until my good ol' boy drawl turns Gaellic....but alas, in the early morning hours of January 22 that was not meant to be....(Taking a pause to wipe a solitary tear from my eye) My times in have definitely been off peak hours so I have never seen the place crowded, example January 22 at roughly 2 AM....The bartenders have always been quick on the drink and pleasant in attitude and the prices are reasonable.... I'm sad that I could not enjoy Guinness on my most recent stop in but unfortunately there was an issue with the Guinness tap or keg or something...I had instant clarity of the pain ol' Bill Shakespeare was trying to make us feel with his story of ill fated love in Romeo and Juliet plus there's nothing an Irishman loves more than feeling sad... So, I went with my usual Scotch & Water and it was strong as a bull...after finishing my nightcap I strolled off to bed happier than not with my latest stop at Vic's!!!

Prices were good. Beer was terrible. It tasted sour -- and I'm not a picky drinker. And I NEVER send stuff back unless I have to. But we tried two separate beers, and they tasted like sour mash mixed with beer. I don't think that they clean their tap lines very often -- or at all. What was really alarming was when I complained to the bartender, he poured himself a sip in another glass and claimed it tasted fine to him. If that's their quality control expert, count me out of a return visit to Vic's Kangaroo bar.

No stars left bc they suck big fat chode!!! The worst ever!!! Bartenders are assholes and it takes 30 minutes to get a drink or close your tab! AND they charged me for TWO pizzas when I only ordered one!!! It was a fucken hassle to prove I had only ordered one and the assholes bartending had the nerve to argue with me after 30+ minutes of waiting!!!! Rude mother fuckers! Never again!!!

Laid back local bar in the warehouse district. If not in the mood for the s#*t show that sometimes is Lucy's, walk across the street. The bartenders are fast and drinks are cheap-ish. Play some tunes on the juke box and have a seat. I also suggest sitting outside at the sidewalk tables...oh the things you get to witness.

I wandered over here after the nearby Wednesday in the Square, and sat down for a few more pints. About half a dozen people were sitting at the bar, and no one was smoking, but it still smelled of stale cigarette, so we decided to sit outside. It was a beautiful night. I like how Vic's commandeered the sidewalk with their patio tables and chairs. It made people walking by squeeze closer in order to walk past. At $4 for an Abita, I'll make this a place to stop for a drink if the weather is still nice outside.

This isn't a bad little bar. I like the "Australian" kind of theme. There is usually soccer or some international sport playing on one of the tvs. It isn't the biggest place in the world, but a lot of days it sure beats whatever is going on across the street at Lucy's, which tends to get overly packed. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to hang out here, but it's a cool spot if I find myself in the area.

I spent every night at Vic's. The good part of the night...the end. Sinatra's favorite time of of night. Right before the sun comes up. This was my favorite place to hang....a bit dive-ey, but that's how I like it at that time of night. Cheap drinks and cheap food. My go-to dish was the Jambalaya. For $8, you get a heaping basket full of the meatiest Jambalaya I've ever had. It became my favorite hang-out last year when I was staying at the Renaissance. Most of the people staying at the Renaissance go to Lucy's. That's why I go to Vic's.

When all else fails (or I am in the warehouse district) I like going to Vic's Kangaroo Cafe - or the Kangaroo bar - as known in my group of friends. This is a great place to go to whenever there is an event going on in the warehouse district: Running of the Bulls, Red Dress Run, Halloween Parade, etc. There is less of a wait than surrounding bars and the prices are pretty on the inexpensive side. I just found out the last time I went that this bar has a bathroom upstairs as well as downstairs - which is good to know because the bathroom is kind of gross. I don't suggest getting food from here, the one time we got pizza it was a frozen pizza that they microwaved...

We had plans to go to a couple of late night spots for live music. It was late on a Monday night and both places we plan to go to were closed. We stumbled into Vic' because it was close to our hotel. I was the first one in. I ordered a drink and started talking to the bartender, Dallas. He had a dry, sarcastic self-effacing sense of humor and immediately I knew he was a good guy and a good bartender. I warned him that we had about 15 people coming in behind me and he was completely unfazed. We stayed for close to 3 hours and would have stayed later, but we went to Cafe Du Monde. This little dive was one of favorite stops on a 35 stop bar crawl. Cheap drinks, good times, great bartender! Thanks Dallas!

I honestly love this spot. Great late night bar, especially if you are looking for that last drink if all other bars are closed at the time. Bartenders are down to earth, and the regular customers are the same. Btw, probably the best shepherds pie in the city.

Solid local crowd with good prices on drinks. Love the music selection. Won't be waiting until last night in NO to come to Vics on next visit.

OPEN LATE. BEST BARTENDERS EVER! Nice bar, great service. Priced fairly. This place is small but has a divey feel. Old school jukebox has great selection (so no Justin Bieber). Also, THIS BAR IS CASH ONLY.

Ordered the bbq pork sandwich. They literally scooped up some bbq pork from a tub, put it on a hot dog bun and microwaved it. I've heard of bar food, but this is ridiculous for a place so many speak highly of.

I just landed in New Orleans for a 7 month tour of duty for work. I'm staying in at touristy area and just wanted to find a local dive bar to watch Monday Night Football. This is the spot for sure. I watched the game with some locals and got some great advice from the bartender and patrons about where to live, eat, and most importantly, drink. The prices were amazing for such a touristy area ($3 bottles and pints starting at $4). There's a limited menu (I ordered a large $10 pepperoni pizza of which I only ate half). In a place like this the menu only needs to vanquish basic hunger. You shouldn't be expecting much, and that's quite alright by me. Jeff the bartender knows his football and can mix it up with the best of them. PS - I won $250 on the game.

A group of us went here for a saints play off game and there was no music, it's cash only (while the ATM doesn't work) and every member of the staff is extremely rude. The only food option was frozen pizza and the drink options are limited to cheap wine and poorly mixed drinks.

Don't come here and order a Foster's. Come into this dive bar and get a Coopers Sparkling Ale. It's bottle conditioned so it's got yeast in the bottle and pours a bit cloudy, it's light, sparkly, sort of lemony but still malty. Coopers is a fantastic beer for the hot, swampy New Orleans summer, and not easy to find elsewhere. Otherwise, Vic's is pretty unremarkable. It's got a jukebox and a cigarette machine, along with drunk, 30-something former frat boys bumping hitting each other in the shoulder and bumping into you.
