I stopped in at Down the Hatch to grab a beer and some wings a couple of Saturdays ago. It was early (I am old, so day drinking is my time at bars these days) and I was the only person there besides the workers. There were 2 bartenders and a manager type who was pissed off because he had to come in and change a keg. He let everyone know he was pissed. I got some Black and Gold Wings which are Carolina mustard BBQ and some fries. The wings were cooked well but the sauce was just ok, to me they tasted more like honey mustard. The fries were the big steak fries which I am not a fan of but there were a lot of them. They were fine, I just like thinner fries. They have about 20 beers on tap, heavy on Abita brands. The menu is full of cool bar eats including things like Shawarma. I should have tried it. The inside is small and there is a courtyard out back. The bartender was friendly and service was fast. read more

This was my first time here, stopped by after a birthday party nearby and ended up having a great time. I even met someone from my home state, which made the night even better. The bartender was funny, friendly, and added to the overall atmosphere. It's definitely more of an upbeat dive bar, and the food was solid. I got the wings with a special sauce, and paired it with a candy Corona. This place is a great late-night spot to grab a bite and meet new people. Will definitely be back! read more

We stopped into this location after seeing they had a back patio. It was a wonderful little spot to chill, enjoy the weather, and have a few snacks/drinks. The staff were all very kind! Nothing groundbreaking but a nice spot for a bit of downtime or to enjoy a game that might be on! read more

A great place to watch a game, off the bustle of bourbon and the French quarter. My beautiful and smart wife is a Kentucky basketball fan. We went to watch them play on a Saturday morning, a bit too early for my personal liking due to the central time zone. Upon arrival there were other members of BBN watching. The drinks were very good and affordably priced. Service was with a smile and quick. The place was clean and has a nice back patio. read more

Bad service, good food. Called 5 times to place a pick up order for wings. No answer. I figured they were too busy to answer as its 9pm on a Saturday night. I walk the 4 blocks from my house and go into the bar and to my surprise there are 3 bartenders and not many people in inside. I'm then ignored by one of the bartenders so that they can take a shot together, I wasn't even greeted as I walked in or up to the bar. The brunette woman was nice enough to come get my order. I love the food here but this left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

Good drinks and food. Nice spot to grab a quick bit and a stiff drink. Wouldn't call this place a dive bar but it's giving neighborhood bar vibes. Come check them out if you're ever in the area. read more

I enjoyed the chicken shawarma plate after a late night of drinks with friends. I'll definitely be back for good food in a comfortable atmosphere read more

One of our favs for wings, shots and beer! Go often. Sadly we just left - for good - as they no longer allow dogs. So ignore the pets welcome feature and pic of people with their dogs! Annoyed. read more

Fantastic ambiance in the back courtyard. Bar tender and server were so pleasant and helped with advice on where to go in NOLA. It was our first stop after landing and very pleased ! read more

A most excellent Cuban fine dining dive bar. Dog friendly, Superior bartenders and cooks.

This spot is a cool vibe.Not as spacious but there is a balcony where you can enjoy the weather if permitted. Very good prices for a well drink and house drink. read more

Upon taking my seat at the bar, there was no acknowledgment, no greeting, no menu brought, no "What are you having to drink?" Nothing, I just sat for maybe 10 minutes without being acknowledged at all. I asked a worker for a menu and she gave it to me. After glancing over and finding something I wanted, I waited for the worker to come back. She went behind the bar and never came back to my end. I asked another worker if it was ok for me to order with him. He said yes, I ordered and he asked if I wanted anything to drink. I said sure I'll order it separately from the food, and I'll take some water to sip on while I decide. He went on to say something along the lines of "well you can order your drink right here, it's a bar. Bars where drinks are ordered. -_-" I intended on paying cash but he asked for a card. Ok, maybe they are used to keeping tabs open from past experiences. He took my card and never returned it. I decided I no longer wanted the drink and just sipped the water. When it was time to pay I pulled my cash out and the bartender tells me that my $15 burger is $20 and some change total. I asked how is that possible and is there automatic gratuity? He looked confused (playing it off I'm sure) and I told him even with taxes that amount would be incorrect. He went on to talk to someone behind the bar, then came back and gave me the actual amount of $16 and some change. He said he gave me his employee discount, which was obviously not true because with taxes, that is the amount the meal would have come to. I still tipped him a lousy $2 for effort. I truly feel I was judged when I sat at that bar, despite carrying an almost $200 purse. Or was it my race?? Who knows, smh.... Also, a tip to anyone ordering the Big Easy. It has hot sausage mixed in so make sure to order it well done. I ordered medium well and had to put it in the air fryer at home. You can consume hot sausage not fully cooked, but I definitely do not advise you to do so. It was pretty good and the sweet potato fries were pretty good also. But, not worth returning. In all, I DO NOT recommend this spot to anyone, unless you know someone working here or someone that is a regular. read more

Great open bar and eatery on Front Street. This was our first stop after getting into town and it did not disapoint. The list of craft cocktails (Mai Tai's!) is beyond incredible. Got the fish fry where the menus says "local catch". It was mahi-mahi the night we were there and incredible. Live music plays even in the mornings. This is one of those must stops when in Lahaina. read more

I have been loyal to this place in the 4 years I've lived uptown. Today was the last dime I'll ever spend here. Went in for lunch, sat at the bar. The woman behind the bar was talking to the only other person sitting at the bar and spewing her casual racism to the other customer. He seemed to be fine with it. She doesn't like Latin men. And is very comfortable talking about it. We have such a crappy political climate right now and a bar in New Orleans on a Thursday mid day should be a place where a person can just chill out and feel comfortable and part of a community. Y'all lost a customer today. I still tipped well, but won't be back . Everyone's money is green...Who can even afford racist bs in the service industry in summertime New Orleans? Good luck with that. read more

food good but Alexis behind the bar was rude asf obviously she was having a bad day and she decided to take it out on customers who paying their hard earned money !!!!!! read more

If you want the "going out" feeling but not with the "going out" crowds and noise, this is a good spot. Just enough buzz from the other customers, TVs and the alcohol to be mellow, plus a sweet little courtyard in the back. Food is good sturdy bar food. Sometimes you get lucky can watch a wedding reception in the venue across the street. (If you're really lucky, the person you go with will do the driving so street parking won't be an issue.) read more

It's a beer and a shot place. Lively crowd. Bartender seemed overwhelmed. We did get spinach artichoke dip which was brought out still half frozen and with no plates. I'd go 2.5 stars if I could. read more

My whiskey old fashioned was absolutely terrible. I had a friend who got a vodka cranberry which was also really bad. The place overall was pretty cool and relaxed, but the drinks are barf and leaves much room for improvement. read more

Drinks a bit pricy for what I expected in the area. The food is great. I have a few options over the course if a week of being there. Definitely try the wings and I lived the gyro wrap. The back patio area was good while I watched a basketball game. read more

Sooo good , cheap drinks and the black and gold wings are to die for. The lemon pepper too!

Unwelcoming homophobic sexist bartender He was also high as fuc* on something - and more worried about eating than taking care of customers Not that he could with whatever he was on Messing up drinks and orders- Rude People were in shock and left due to his actions My wife felt so uncomfortable that we paid and left as well The men next to us- a couple- were so appalled at what has being said and how he was acting they paid and left asking 'what the hell is going on' The nasty comments about customers and foul language added to his aloof being Should not be allowed to bartend or work with the public We ordered food that came out- Won't go back Sadly read more

Omggg the black and gold wings!!! Don't get me started. Everything is great on the menu; I haven't had an item I wasn't pleased with yet. Definitely great when you can just a quick bite to eat. Drinks are reasonably priced also! It's my go to spot after a night out. read more

Late Knight eaters. This is the place. They close at 2 am. Fri Sat 3pm. A bar and restaurant that is pretty clean, friendly, full stocked bar and extensive menu. This is where the vampires of Nola wake up to. Okay , I admit, I just left the Beaded Oak with Jeramie as my bartender and I need food to refuel me. Safe area cus I'm out here by myself. I'm gonna eat my Quesadilla here. If a picture is not posted of it, then it is average read more

Down The Hatch - I think I am going to be night life crawler. Place close at 2-3 am for the late night people - American Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've given the food so many opportunities to improve, or at least be consistent... It's just awful. The most simple thing on the menu, fried chicken & fries. The chicken is either undercooked or burnt, and there is never enough of it. The platter is also about 20% more expensive than it used to be (from $13 to about $15). It's officially more expensive than Cane's, which is close by. You can also tell that they don't change their grease very often by the way things end up tasting. In addition to becoming an increasingly more hood-rat bar, the food becomes increasingly inedible. read more

Great service and cocktails. Ambiance was nice. Bartender handled all patrons with professionalism. We came for one drink and stayed for five (or more I can't remember). So it must have been good? I think so. read more

Ordered on uber. Someone stole my food straight out the store and they REFUSED to remake it. How you gonna let my food get stole n and refuse to remake my food. Sounds like we gotta a bunch of retards that work there. Steer clear of this place as that don't care about the customer. Cooks and staff to lazy to watch your food nor care about customer service. Straight losers and bums. Prove me wrong read more

Cute little hole in the wall, prices are incredibly reasonable. Bartender was very nice. Relaxed vibe, food was good. Nothing fancy, but we had no complaints. read more

Really small menu and not really kid friendly . Definitely a bar type of environment. Wasn't greeted at that door and had no idea what do to , Had to ask for a menu and she didn't say anything but "order at the bar" read more

It's a dive bar in New Orleans where locals go. We walked here from Lilly's Cafe and bought a few beers before heading over to City Park. I had the mango wheat beer. Service was standard. It was a typical dive bar. There was maybe one other party there when we were there after lunch. Apparently, they also serve food but we didn't order any. We finished our beers and left in a Lyft. read more

Great food! Order the black & gold wings & the potato skins. Server was great taking care of the bar all alone. Back patio for overflow seating. read more

I am not from the area and ordered delivery to my hotel room. These wings are the best wings I've ever had. The burger wasn't bad either! But the wings... WOW 10/10 read more

Door dashed a chicken wrap and the chicken was RAW. They offered me a refund or to remake the wrap. Never said I'm sorry for anything.

Well, not where I find food usually but this place is awesome. Drove in late for a film shoot with the Cancer Association of Louisiana (CALA) from Texas and was starving. So here I am in what is affectionately known as a dive bar. And eatery.... Love the place, people are hip and the bar people very nice. Remember to support your local dives so all the cool people can hang out and we all don't starve. read more

The food was really good. Service needs a lot of work. Only had one bartender/server working the whole room. She was over worked and could t keep up. Hire some mor employees to support the demand. The catfish Po boy was really good I might say. My buddy ordered the Asian Cajun burger and he enjoyed it. Fries were really good too. TVs throughout the room. Outdoor patio too, but did not get a chance to go outside and check it out. Had a chill vibe. No music playing when we went. read more

Basic NOLA bar, but the wings are amazing!!!!! Great service too. We were there during the day, but I bet this place would be really busy at night. read more

Literally typical bar food! Please expect NOTHING MORE than burnt, old, re-cooked, thrown together bar food. I've had late night food, but this was crazy! I should've known the food was going to be disgusting because the bathroom was GROSS! The sink was stopped up and flies were everywhere, but I was starving. At that point I should've just cancelled the order. Good luck if you still want to try! read more

Ok so boom. The lemon pepper wings are fantastic. A little on the salty side, but the ranch really tames that down (that's if you use a sauce on the side for your wings) The spinach dip was actually pretty good. The chip to dip to price ratio is very unequal tbh. I think the spinach dip was $9 if im not mistaken. And if you look at the picture, there wasn't $9 worth of spinach dip. Maybe more $3 worth of dip and $6 worth of chips. I probably didn't even eat half of the chips by the time I was done with the dip. But other than that, the service and time within we ordered the food wasn't too far apart. It might have taken 10 minutes to get the food, but after a few drinks and good conversations, the time flies by. read more
