I walked into High Grace one afternoon on a whim. I walked by, and it seemed like people were having a good time in there. When I went in, it was very welcoming, and the bartender was very quick to serve me. I tried their specialty, lavender lemonade with some gin. The drink was amazing, both taste and strength. Everyone there was very nice, upbeat, and fun. I ended up going there two more times before I left town! read more

One of many shotgun style dive bars on St. Philip. Close to Pat O's. This used to be the old Johnny White's (RIP to that great bar). Not much has changed other than some new branding. The inverted Nike logo with the slogan "Over do it" is clever. Really great bar tenders. It' s not as cheap as it used to be. The bathrooms are abysmal. It has a Touchtunes juke box. My main complaint is that the music is always so loud, you can barely hear the person sitting next to you. It's weird to see Malort on a bar menu and their Michelada (which is fantastic) is called the Chi-town Michelada which makes me wonder if there's a Chicago connection (cursory Google didn't reveal anything). read more

Staff are really friendly here as well. Late night can get a little sketchy around here so you have to be a little mindful of your surroundings. It is not uncommon for the police to show up as their is usually some questionable activities happening outside, but generally I feel completely safe here. During the warmer times they have a nice outdoors back area. Definitely recommend a visit here to get a feel for a real nitty gritty local New Orleans local bar scene.

I love a good dive bar, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The A/C was blasting at just the…read moreright "meat locker" level -- essential for any quality dive experience. Happy hour prices were a whole $1 off regular-priced drinks -- and considering the regular prices were already delightfully low, that's basically like getting paid to drink. (Okay, not really, but you get my point.) Wendy was our bar mistress, and let me tell you -- she was a gem. Attentive, quick with a refill, and serving with a smile like she'd been doing this since the dawn of cocktails. The vibe was classic dive -- a mix of locals holding down their usual spots, some questionable neon signs, and that faint yet oddly comforting smell of stale beer mixed with a hint of nostalgia. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I make this my regular spot if I lived closer? Without a doubt. This place is the dive bar blueprint -- no frills, just good drinks, chill vibes, and the sweet hum of an overworked A/C.

There was a bar tender who was jamming some good tunes. It's definitely a relaxed and chill vibe. Nice that it's open late. The place was basically empty, so we had it to ourselves. I only ordered an Abita, a local beer and it was tasty enough.
