Harry's is pretty much the pure definition of a great French Quarter dive bar: friendly folks, reasonably priced drinks, and strong pours. This neighborhood joint has been holding down the same corner of the French Quarter since the 1930s. From what I found online, Harry's was apparently a tad classier back in the day, operating as more of an upscale cocktail bar. These days, it's my kind of neighborhood dive bar We stopped in on our way to another bar, and the crowd consisted of us, a few locals, and a couple of pooches. Perfect. Our drinks were served pronto and provided just the right amount of fuel to get our engines revved up for a full day of New Orleans shenanigans, including the Southern Decadence Parade later that afternoon. The vintage jukebox was pumping out some great tunes, and there are a couple of video poker machines if you're feeling lucky. Nothing fancy here, nor should there be. Just a friendly neighborhood bar, good pours, good tunes, and plenty of character. Heads-up: Harry's is cash only. read more

Harry's Corner - A great little dive bar - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So Tommy and I stopped by here on a Wednesday morning to use the facilities and to get our morning drink on. This is a legit dive with 12 ounce beers being $5. We would've liked to have hung out but we needed some food and a bag of chips weren't going to do it for us. The bartender was friendly enough and got our to-go beers right away. If you like a cool neighborhood dive, check this place out. 5 stars. read more

When I came to NOLA in 2024 Harry's was closed and I was heart broken. I came to NOLA again for Halloween Week 2025 and it was open! I love this little hole in the wall. Drinks are strong and fair priced, I love the indoor/outdoor seating option and the location. Always a favorite stop for a hurricane! read more

CASH ONLY! My group of four, with a little more time on our hands than we expected to have (we did some walking tours earlier) wanted to sorta wing it and burn our time hopping from one bar to the next until we hit a finish line of some sort. Got off a trolley ride and walked. this was the first spot we hit, so eh. Why not! Like most bars in the general French Quarter area, it's a no-frills kinda place. You come in, grab a drink to have there or take out, and you're done. Good selection of music. Bartender was pretty quick getting to us, although they were slightly busy. She must have been tired, though, because she gave me too much change back when I paid for our round. I made sure to give to correct this, though, because I would have for her to get in trouble if she came out short. We probably spent about 15 minutes and bounced to the next. Wasn't bad for a first! read more

Just what the doctor ordered! My friend and I were explore NoLa and we were hot and just wanted to get some A/C and drink a beer. Harry's Corner presented itself and accomplished all goals. Not sure if I'd seek the place out, but I also wouldn't avoid it again. read more

Dusty little dive bar in the French Quarter bartending by a couple of old farts, but they're amazing dudes. The service was good. I liked how fast I got my drink even though it was quite busy. I don't think they had any food but if they did, I'm sure it's awesome. I look like they do live music in there. Maybe I think I saw a stage. I'm not sure I'm the worst sometimes but at least go in there and talk to the bartenders. read more

Our ghost story tour took us here. Super fun bar for your hydration needs. FYI it's a cash bar. They have an old school music jukebox, which we fed, 3 songs for $1.00. As it relates to dive bars, this is a solid stop. #CHEERS read more

While in NOLA with my friends for our friends 40th, Harry's Corner became a kind of home base bar. It was recommended by a FB group for reasonably priced drinks. On the second night in NOLA this was also the rest stop place for our ghost tour which is where I discovered the "Ghostbuster", one of their signature cocktails that is topped with a boozy ghost shaped Jello-Jiggler. OBSESSED. I can't exactly place the cocktail...but it tastes like a Mai Tai meets a Pinâ Colada without being too sweet, but strong, refreshing and tropical. My friends and I kept going back to grab a drink to go, use the restrooms, take a load off before continuing on our way. On our last day there which was my besties bday, we met Paul. He made my friend a special birthday cocktail with a Candle in it and the whole bar sang happy birthday to her. It made her feel SO special. Paul was a doll and if I lived here, Harry's would be the spot I'd come to after a long day for a tasty drink without extortion. Be aware though, this is a cash only bar. An ATM IS located inside however. It's divey, it's vibey, it's affordable and the bartenders are not putting on airs with their kindness, humor and vibe. Every single bartender here we encountered in our numerous stops here were your neighborhood bar type of friendly, fun and ge This is the kind of bar you want to go to when you're not looking for pretentious tourist traps, where you can feel that sense of community even in a tourist heavy city. Go here. Get a Ghostbuster. Tell Paul we say hi and we'll be back! read more

Harry's Corner bar in NOLA is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when you want a true local vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly bartenders who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Drinks are strong and reasonably priced, and the place has that classic New Orleans character. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Drinks were good, bartender was so sweet! Cash only but they do have an atm! Vibes were great would come again!

There a lot of bars in New Orleans and we have made it a point to refresh and unwind in our fair share of them. We always make Harry's a destination. Always bring your CASH. There is no credit at this dive bar. read more

Happened upon this old time corner bar and happy I did. Drinks only, no food. Great Bloody Mary and great margarita. Not tourist prices or quality. Worth the walk. Cash only. read more

Super fun bar. FYI it's a cash bar only so take plenty of it. They have a old school music box. So fun! read more

Cash only locals bar on Chartres. Since it's cash only, the crowds are usually light. The bartenders are really nice, possibly a little chatty and easily distracted. Bathrooms are decent by French Quarter standards. Definitely cheap, definitely old school including a cigarette machine and a juke box. read more

Classic dive bar off the main touristy streets and had very obvious regular local clientele. Service was polite and the bathroom was clean. Only stopped for one. read more

We were in NOLA the weekend of Feb 2nd, 2024. We were looking forward to spending Saturday exploring the French Quarter but unfortunately, the day started with a gentle rain and proceeded to become a raging downpour throughout the day. Fortunately, we found Harry's and we couldn't have landed at a better place. It's a true neighborhood bar. Unpretentious with an overdose of friendly bartenders, patrons, and even a self-described witch. The vibe was perfect. The atmosphere is low-key and welcoming. They have a fantastic old-school jukebox in the corner and the liquor offering is everything I'd expect. We loved spending the day in our new favorite bar away from home. They may not know your name, but they're glad you came. Protect this gem of a place. It beats anything Bourbon St has to offer. read more

I am just not sure how to rate this place.......at first I thought that this is the place to go if you want to get away from the tourists....it's just a quiet place to watch ball games and drink. However in hindsight, hubby and I had two Bloody Mary's in rather small plastic cups. We think we were drugged with something like a date rape drug. We lost memory of our next 6-7 hours. Luckily for us we were staying with friends who live a few doors door from Harry's and they showed up and basically babysat us for the remainder of the day. I have my suspicions that the bar tender was working with some one else and we were targets for something bad to happen but I can't prove that. I only know that after drinking two Bloody Mary's I had memory loss for 8-10 hours and that has never happened to me before. I am no stranger to vodka and regularly have two martinis with no problem. Scary!!!! read more

Harry's Corner - Bloody at Harry's Corner Bar - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Harry's is a New Orleans style dive bar. What does that mean to someone not familiar with that style of dive bar? Sorry bro. You'll just have to figure that out on your own. Actually, if you frequently use the word bro in conversation, you probably want to avoid this place. No bros allowed. No woo girls either. Stick to Bourbon Street. I guess woo girls and bros are technically allowed din a Nola dive bar, but I suspect all the reasons they don't like it, are reasons I do like it. I would have never found Harry's were it not for being led here by another Yelper. This was our post event hang out spot and all the cool kids were there. Here is what I liked about Harry's. The windows were open to the street. That meant random could ask our group for food recommendations while we sat comfortably at our table. There were video poker machines where kids could sit while their parents bought drinks. There was a jukebox that had the Rolling Stones. The Stones are always a good idea when in a dive bar. There was a lot of funny graffiti above the urinal trough. There was not ice in the urinal trough which was kind of dissapointing. Drinks seemed like they were pretty reasonable, especially for the FQ. I had water which was no charge except when I got a bottled water and it was $2. Nothing wrong with cheap drinks. Service was fast and friendly. There were several ghost tours that stopped in to use the bathroom and fuel up on booze. I guess Harry's is supposed to be haunted or something. We did have a ghost shake, then toss, my empty water bottle on the floor. I guess whoever it was took umbrage to me only drinking water. Sorry ghosty, a boy has to drive. If you find yourself in the FQ and want a nice dive bar experience, Harry's should be on your list. read more

Very inexpensive drinks. We had a long Island, Mimosa and 2 shots of tequila. The waitress free pours the shots, love her, no 4 count pours for us, lol. I love the first responder patches that are lined up all over the walls and the ceilings. Its a nice place for a quick drink, to beat the heat and cool off. read more

Great local dive bar. It's CASH ONLY. They have an ATM machine. They also have a few casino game machines.

I know it is a dive bar but bad service; rude bartender and not welcoming. If you want southern kindness you won't find it here!!!

There's nothing like a good dive bar with a great bloody. The bartender was efficient and friendly. We will return at the next opportunity!

This is a nice little dive bar close to Jackson Square with fairly large, heavy on the booze, and the people are nice. There are also tables outside. It's just a neighborhood bay and a terrific place to go. read more

Trent was amazing. Super friendly and quick with the service. It was nice to see a patch from my hometown up on their bar! Will come back.

Amazing duck off!!!! Paul is the best bartender ever!!!! It still has the old school cigarette machine and juke box!!!! The drinks are the best and inexpensive. read more

Had a great time here. Bartender was very attentive. Drinks were good. Crowd was good. Nothing to complain about.

Drinks were ok. Bartender was too busy talking to her friends at the bar to acknowledge us or take our order. And when she did take our order, acted like she was doing us a favor. Drinks were also overpriced. Plenty of other bars in the city to enjoy. Don't waste your time. read more

Bartender was very rude. He tried to say it was an "operator error" when we tried to play music on the jukebox when I wasn't even drunk my friend was and I said it's not an "operator error" and then he mocked me under his breath like I couldn't hear him. The bartender needs to lay off the roid rage. read more

Solid old school bar in the FQ. Cash only. Do not expect a fancy drink. Buy a beer or a straight pour. I love the bartenders who have seen it all and do not want to put up with your nonsense. They remind of the folks who tended the bars that my Gramps brought me into as a kid (no my Mom didn't really know). Low key (unless a Saints game is on). Prices are good for the FQ. read more

A straight-up comfy little spot, Harry's Corner is worthy of its iconic name. If a bar is named Harry, it has to be good or it needs to change its name. Simple as that. And *this* Harry's, I like just fine. No bells and whistles here, just a Quarter corner bar with seasoned bartenders and cheap enough drinks. I've been in here when packed (Halloween) and empty. Empty is preferable if you're feeling *old and cranky* which BTW is a state of mind that I do my best to avoid, but sometimes it's inevitable. On that note, I shall create a list of my favorite bars to hit up when in that OAC state of mind... read more

I'm going to just lay it on the line: the bar is cool, but the drinks are overpriced. Way overpriced. $8 for a beer you can get for $5 elsewhere overpriced. Look, I'm not a dope. It's the Quarter. You're gonna charge what dumb tourists are gonna pay. Can I show you my Louisiana ID and get a discount? Even if it's just a buck off? Seriously, we are on the same team here. We're all friends. $15 for two beers is a little much. It's water and barley...don't get arrogant. Other than that, this place is cool. Cool people and cool staff. Just don't rob me. read more

If you like hole-in-the-wall dive bars like I do, this is the place for you. You know when a canned beer reaches that perfect temperature at which there is a tad bit of slush in it? That's what I experienced here. Perfect for a hot day. read more

Okay so I've been walking around Nola all morning with my dog and she's hot. Of course I'm thirsty and not for water. So I randomly walked in here and ask first whether or not they were dog friendly. And they were! They have a water bowl and treats for my baby. Only thing missing is some music. But everyone here is great! read more

I really enjoyed this bar. It's a local's bar and I felt that it was an accomplishment when I got the bartender to "like" me. Okay, that may be silly but I used to live in touristy towns and you really do get tired of tourists and their neediness and silly questions. Therefore, when I got here, wearing my Charger's jersey, I knew what to expect and I could tell the bartender wasn't really going to spend much energy on me. "Challenge Accepted!" First off, I don't ask "dumb" questions, I don't demand his attention, and when I do ask a question, it's when he's available. He is running a bar. I never had to ask for refills, he checked on me in his own way and by the end of my short stay, we had talked. Granted, it was about football and where to go, etc. as well as other things. It was just a good feeling. The people were nice, everyone was friendly, and the drinks were good! read more

Harry's Corner - Greetings! - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Every time my husband and I come to New Orleans, we make it a point of coming here for a drink or two. We call it The Dog Bar because every time we are there, one or two of the locals have their dogs there. Chewie, doing his best impression of Eminem in 9 Mile wearing a hoodie was there the first time. The last time we were there (June 2009) it was two beautiful huskies. The prices for beer (draft and bottle) are amazingly affordable. Harry's is exactly as Zachary said "a quiet little neighborhood bar in the French Quarter". Lots of the French Quarter tour guides bring their tours in but they are usually in and out and it is good for business. The only complaint I have about Harry's is that every time I've been there I've been passed over for up to 15 minutes while the bartender(s) have waited on numerous locals and regulars before me and then turned their back on me to clean the back counter, etc. I guess you need to build a relationship with them before getting the service of a regular. read more
