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

    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.

    Cleanest windows in the Quarter!

    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!

    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.

    The drinks were made just right, the service was prompt, and the prices were very reasonable--nothing like Bourbon Street bars.

    Chances are pretty likely that this is the friendliest gay bar in New Orleans. Jamie W and I were…read moredoing a rather cursory search when we came upon the enthusiastic reviews for this corner spot on the northeastern edge of the French Quarter. It definitely felt off the beaten track because it required a ride on the red Riverfront Streetcar Line. When we entered the premises, we immediately thought it was a sports bar given all the TV screens that were on, each featuring a different game. Sitting at the bar, there was more of a frisky friendliness from the bearish bartender. His gregarious personality made us feel right at home and not like some dyed-in-the-wool tourists. The subtle decorative elements exposed the true orientation of the bar. There was also a baby boomer vibe because where else would you see a vintage movie poster of "Man's Favorite Sport?" starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss (Photo 3). The price was right: $5 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 10). They were potent, too. Keep 'em comin'. DRINKS - 5 stars...the price and potency were just right AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...divey and a tad crowded SERVICE - 4 stars...nice bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...another round might've pushed this rating to 5 stars RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

The music was great for this 90s/00s loving girl, the bartender was so nice and helpful, and the drinks were cheap and plentiful. Like many other bars and shops in New Orleans, they are cash only, but they have an ATM right in the bar, so don't worry too much about that. It's definitely a little bit divey, in the size and age of the place, but that doesn't hurt the atmosphere at all. Everyone is there to have a great time, and we definitely did when we visited!

The bartenders were young, and the only business we saw consisted of drunk women who looked like they made a wrong turn off Bourbon Street. 8PM may have been too early to expect a congregation of social sisters.. No Espresso Martinis to be found here, so we went with our standby, the $12 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 5). They were satisfying enough. Not much interaction with the bartenders who preferred socializing with each other. Ah, youth. We'll give it another try the next time we're in Nawlins, but The Golden Lantern was a friendlier spot.

Whenever I pass by there are always locals sitting at a table outside chatting it up - even early in the morning. I was in town for Southern Decadence and decided to finally check it out. I was surprised by how spacious it is inside. There is even an upstairs area with a bar (Queens Head Pub) and balcony views. Downstairs there is a pool table, gambling machines, and plenty of room to dance. The bartender was very friendly. I asked if they had a signature drink and he told me that The Separator has been a favorite for over 20 years. I decided to try it. It was a boozy milkshake that made me feel like a kid again. I can see why they call it The Separator because if you drink enough of it, you'll get separated from your friends. LOL! I came back later that evening and the place was buzzin' with a fun & lively crew. I enjoyed the music and was happy I stopped by.
