Sometimes, you stop in here because Q is working and you want to have a great conversation with a wonderful bartender. Sometimes you stop here because you have the munchies and you really want a burger or some delicious bar food to help sustain you, even if it is just a bag of potato chips. Sometimes you stop here for a spicy pickle shot and great music. And sometimes it's just stupid hot outside, and you can really just use the air conditioning and a break. It really doesn't matter what the impetus is for you stopping at the Crossing. They have great deals on their beverages, great music to enjoy (or dance around to), and amazing waitstaff that will engage and entertain. If you're ever wandering up Dauphine and need a little pick me up, whatever format that might be in, chances are the Crossing has got what you need, and you certainly won't regret it! read more

Ran into this place coming back from a cemetery tour and it was a great choice. I ordered a mushroom & Swiss burger with a side of tater tots. It was amazing. I ordered a bloody mary; amazing . Atmosphere is inviting with TVs all around bar and 3 casino machines. Overall, great experience, good food, good drinks. A definite recommendation . read more

A great bar with wonderful style and ambiance! It has a cool steampunk decor and antique mirrors in a n old but well maintained building. We really liked our bartender Brett. The Halloween decorations were very good. We haven't tried the food yet. We definitely intend on returning! read more

Poor service. Very slow. Brought the wrong drinks. Will pass on this place. Near Bourbon St in French Quarter.

Matt, the bartender, made this place feel like we were regulars our first time in. Affordable drinks. A great atmosphere. Convenient location. read more

All good -service fun and more fun. Have another drink . Nice patrons and bartenders too

Went there for a quick drink. The restrooms were cool and the place had a good vibe to it. Mmm thingies. read more

Oh, where do I begin? Everyone at this place acts like taking your order is a personal insult. Doesn't matter if the place is completely empty -- they'll still make you sit there like you've asked them to donate a kidney. And the old guy? Peak charm. He's basically the poster child for "perpetually annoyed." As for the food? Think oily regret on a plate. Truly a dining experience for people who hate themselves. read more

Wonderful bar removed from the insanity of Bourbon St. Very laid back and welcoming. Prices were great and service was top notch.

Went in to get a salad and avoid the heat but the bartender wouldn't serve me food without an ID. I understand the policy, but I ordered food and a coke. Also I'm 34 and haven't been Id there ever in the past. That was the last time I will ever see in this establishment and would caution anyone else going. read more

Will is always so awesome and kind. He has given me great advice and positive feedback on our talks. Love him so much! Also met one of the other bartenders last night who was just as awesome. They make you feel at home and great conversations. read more

This is one of my favorite neighborhood bars! All of the bartenders are amazing. Every now and then you get the rude entitled tourists that come in but generally it's all local people. Food is pretty good as well, and they do an amazing lunchtime special. Happy hour is great as well! read more

Jerrod is one of the most amazing, responsive, and attentive bartenders I've ever had the pleasure to come in contact with. Withholding all personal shitty day information, he felt the vibe and put in every effort to completely change that around for me. If I could live here today without him getting off work, I would. This customer service and developing friendship cannot be matched by typical nola bartenders; he exceeds any and all expectations. I have worked in the French Quarter for 14 years, and I will never regularly visit another place and not recommend him to any and every person I can. It takes one to know one. This is one amazing fucking dude. read more

Went there to have some drinks and watch the Super Bowl. Far side of the bar opened up and we took the space. After 15 mins dudes showed up and said "those are our seats." We question that, and point out these seats were vacant. Bartender says "he's a manager here and also you are blocking my (service door)) and if you complain we will throw you out." We obliged and promptly told him to We will save you the trouble. Do much for the Mardi Gras spirit- F this place. FYI employees don't get to claim spots at the bar you idiots- that's for customers who will tip you. read more

This is, without a doubt, one of the cleanest bars in the Quarter. Seriously, everything from the windows (lots of natural light) to the restrooms are spotlessly clean. Super friendly bartenders and a jukebox that you can control from an app on your phone. If you haven't been here in the past year, you owe it to yourself to stop by for a drink or two! read more

Cool place. Friendly, good food, good drinks. Mostly young guys, but how's that bad?

They have TouchTunes but turn it off if you play something they don't like. We were told that the jukebox is always turned off after 7 pm! It was 5 pm, we played Jenni Rivera and the jukebox was paused and we were not allowed to play anything else! This bar is definitely racist towards Mexican and Hispanic culture read more

This place is awful. They discriminated against me and my husband the moment we walked into the door. We immediately felt unwelcome. Despite this we stayed and attempted to give it a chance because of the good reviews. My husband inquired on the status of our food order after waiting for more than 40 minutes. The manager, Andy immediately went off on my husband and made a scene by throwing his arms in the air, acting completely over the top. After an hour, we still didn't have food. If I could give this place zero stars I would. After the manager made a scene he completely avoided us and never even offered us a cup of water or a refill on our drink. Andy really shouldn't even be a manager because he's obviously too high strung and neurotic. Managers should be able to handle stress and he cannot. If you aren't a regular here, please beware they will treat you poorly and if your skin isn't white, don't even bother here. read more

Came here for my 21st and J.J. was uh-mazing!! He really made my boyfriend and I feel welcomed. It's more of a local bar but as tourist we felt a warm welcome. A steady crowd and several "regulars" it really made the place lively yet a very chill environment. J.J. Even played "Happy Birthday" for me! It was so good that we came back for our last night in NOLA. We will definitely be back. read more

Very cute and CLEAN inside. Chris the bartender is super accommodating friendly and fun. Good happy hour specials which started at noon. $3 domestic and wells. Bathrooms are the cleanest in the city. A/C works perfectly. So comfortable!! Love this place!! read more

Everyone here was so welcoming and friendly! Pop divas blasting on the TV - everyone singing along with cheap drinks - loved popping in -- Happy pride, y'all!! read more

The best gay bar in New Orleans! Friendly, fun staff (especially Andy who is just the most welcoming bartender ever!) Great cocktails. Clean bathrooms. Good vibes all around. Come here first thing when you get to the French Quarter! read more

Decided to give this bar another try after my bad experience, the manager is rude, talks down to her employees, heard staff talking badly about customers. This place is a joke. Do not go here! read more

Friendly service, great drinks (the classic or the unique) very good pub fare. Super reasonable. You don't have to be gay to enjoy this joint. read more

My friend & I were rudely ignored by all the bartenders in this place. They looked at us both, then proceeded to turn their backs to us & then take care of people who sat themselves long after we did. We waited for 15 minutes & no one could be bothered to even acknowledge us. If you're into a cliquey bar with garbage staff who have zero customer service skills, then you'll love this shack. read more

Oops. Didn't know when I walked in for a beer and a break from the heat (along with the bourbon street crowd). Bartender couldn't have been nicer. Nice place needs a better beer selection. Cheers! read more

Super friendly, LGBTQ place. I was a solo traveler for 5days and they welcomed me with open arms. Big shout out to Will, one of the bartenders there amazing person with such a big heart. Practically a local who recommended so many great things to do and places to see. A huge thanks to Andrew also, whom never met me before this trip but was able accommodate me for NYE when I called him a day before my trip. Super friendly staff. Amazing vibe. Keep killing it yall read more

Crossing - Almost downed the burger before finishing it LOL - Gay Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Seriously this is one of the drag queen capitals of the USA. I don't know how many times I have walked past this corner and seen quite a few drag queens hanging out outside. I usually walk past this corner between 7-9am and still see them outside the bar. The bar may serve some cheap drinks but at what cost to your personal self. I just walked by there at 5:20am and about 10 drag queens were arguing with each other right outside of the bar. Scary scene! Not the arguing but the lewdness of it all. Should I walk down another street? Not going to happen because my friend's garage is 80ft from this corner. You really do see it all in the Quarter! read more

Stopped in a few times on vacation as our hotel was near by. Absolutely loved the music and drinks. Plus the service was great! All the bartenders were super friendly, but most of all, Isaac the door security was a joy to chat with. Even sang "Valerie" to me. He's the best! read more

Steampunk sport bar that seriously has the best priced drinks and cleanest establishment in the French Quarter.

Very nice and clean bar. Friendly staff and good customer service. A getaway from the craziness of Bourbon Street.

I'm high on customer service and I'm a local/regular whom comes to the bar for Will (William) whom work AM shift to judge me and call himself putting his hand on me, because I haven't done anything to him over something that some told the individual. That's so unprofessional and as a service industry worker (minus: genital, race, epic background or etc. Respect goes both ways..... read more

Stumbled upon this place and WOW super welcoming to my 12 friends for my birthday celebration! My Aunt and Uncle decided to "do the hustle" and move tables around....the place went nuts and gave them 2 free drinks on the house for dancing!! Drinks were smooth especially the 12 green tea shots at 12am for my birthday!!! Bartenders Andy and Phillip were a delight and couldn't be any friendlier! read more

This is my favorite bar in the French Quarter, bar none. That being said, the Double Play is definitely not for everyone. Do you like cheap pool, cheap drinks, and a nonstop menagerie of New Orleans freaks and people of the night, including but not limited to trannies, drag queens, dirty old men, juggalos, drug dealers, alcoholics, meth casualties, and off-duty Corner Pocket strippers? And do you like all of this in a low-rent sleazy dive sports bar atmosphere with several TVs tuned to sports or Golden Girls reruns? With jaded, world-weary bartenders who treat all of their customers - freaks and normals alike - with the same basic discourteous humanity? If that all sounds appealing to you, then by all means, visit the Double Play. But please be respectful. Don't come from out of town and camp out here tranny-spotting. This is not a place to stare at freaks. This is a place where you realize that you too are a freak, and your specific freakishness blends in seamlessly with the freakishness that surrounds you. No judgments. Everyone wants something. You want a drink. Why not drink at the Double Play? read more

Seriously. It has it all. Dive scene. The two bartenders, Brad and Phillip, were life savers and gave us a great number of local places to check out. I highly, highly recommend stopping here, even if for just one drink. The daytime has a few creepers if you're young, but what dive doesn't? And they are all incredibly friendly! We ended up stopping here for a few drinks almost every day we were here. In addition to being friendly, the drinks were INCREDIBLY cheap! Plus its a drag, dive sports bar...what's not to like!? read more

Was in Nawlins( I would Love to move here). Just like the city, this bar was great and Andy and the other two bartenders were cool. Being remodeled, my vodka drink was $, which on my budget was awesome. Big t.v's surround the bar, and a/c works great. Love this place, if I lived there a def on my hang out read more

Decent priced drinks and even a jukebox! However, this bar seems to cater to a host of very seedy characters. The bartenders are not very attentive. Actual customers seem to come second to the bartenders after they are done socializing with their friends. Who (surprise) are usually the seedy characters in the bar! Or after they are done preening themselves, or playing video games. The bar has been under construction for some time. The bar owner should consider rebuilding his work force as well. read more
