    Great sports bar and definitely an Eagles bar. A lot of craft beers on tap. Excellent bartenders that are kind, quick and make great drinks and overall a great vibe!

    Guinness!

    Took me 15 minutes to get a beer. I sat at the bar, the locals I was sitting right next to had new beers placed in front of them before their old beer was even finished. I was basically ignored. Worst service ever. In a nut shell if you're a local patron and tip good, you'll get great service. If not go somewhere else! Lots of other really cool bars in New Orleans. You want old school neighborhood dive bar with cheap drinks, fantastic service, really nice bar tenders, and friendly locals (what I thought Markey's was going to be), go to Harry's Corner, that place rocks (and so does their a/c unlike Markey's, it was hot in there and I had no beer)!

    Massive portions great prices & good drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed my fish tacos which had a whole filet on each soft taco smothered w yummy slaw. The tots were just the icing on the cake. I will definitely return.

    Nice little local dive bar located right on the corner. Indoor and a few outdoor tables. Solid drinks. We ordered beer. $6 for IPA on a Thur night. Shuffleboard and darts here. Great place for hanging out with your friends.

    Markey's is a neighborhood bar out in the Marigny area. Product: Primarily alcoholic drinks and a small selection of bar food. I haven't had the food, but the drinks aren't watered down and they're a reasonable price. 3 stars Service: Go up to the bar or the food counter to order. Nothing special to note good or bad here. 3 stars Facilities: It is a very typical neighborhood bar to New Orleans. In that, I mean, it's an older building that basically has one long main room with the bar area, some stools, a few tables and chairs inside and out, and a food counter (as noted earlier). It isn't dirty, but it's an older place, so it has a rather "worn" look to it, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I suppose you could call it a "dive", but it didn't really have a divey feel to it to me. Maybe because I stopped by during the day? I dunno. It's a decent place. 3 stars Overall: Another good spot to stop and whet your whistle or grab a bit in the Marigny/Bywater region. I suggest it if you're in the area. 3 stars

    I have many vague, fuzzy memories of Markey's Bar, and I'm pretty sure I'd been there at least five times before I finally began to remember that I'd been there before. Guess that's the definition of a dive bar in this city, though -- places you end up at post-midnight after one (or six) too many drinks. It's funny, though. The net impact of not really remembering having been to Markey's makes it seem new and exciting every time I go, and also creates this odd feeling akin to deja-vu. Occasionally, it even dredges up a dim memory of drinking binges of yore. Best thing about Markey's? Definitely the shuffleboard table. It's 50 cents to play a game, and if you ever run into me there I will utterly kick your ass, because I am a shuffleboard shark. For no apparent reason, I'm very, very good at this game. (Then again, maybe I've just played it a million times and am underestimating how often I've been to Markey's. You never know.)

    We played a solid 3 hours on the shuffleboard, me losing many a-time, but all in good fun.

The drinks are flowing, the music's great, and the vibe is just the right mix of grungy and magical. But the real star of the show? Maggie. Blonde, tatted, effortlessly cool, and somehow managing the chaos behind the bar like it's a casual Tuesday? It's giving ballerina that survived a mosh pit. While I was there, just minding my own business, I noticed someone try to dramatically wave her down. I was lowkey kinda shook. Like, sir, are you hailing a taxi? Signaling a rescue plane? Even I, as a third party observer, knew that wasn't it. She handled it calmly and with total queen energy; no drama, just a quiet reminder that Saturn runs on the unspoken rules of hospitality. Honestly, respect. Maggie is THE moment; the kind of bartender you become a regular for. The owners clearly know what they're doing as this place feels like a beautiful fever dream you want to keep coming back to. I came in for a boilermaker and left with a new favorite bar. Five stars. No notes. No waving.

It even has its own Yelp page, so you know it's legit. Well, plot twist -- when we got there, the super sweet bartender Jenny broke the news that they had just changed the hours and were no longer open on Thursdays. (Check out my photo for the latest hours as of March 2025 -- you're welcome.) Here's the kicker -- we had already schlepped all the way from the French Quarter on foot and were sitting at around 13,000 steps for the day. We earned that burger! But, when life gives you closed burger joints, you pivot to cocktails -- and Jenny had us covered. Hubbs went for a Bloody Mary (solid choice), and I opted for a vodka soda... okay, maybe three vodka sodas -- but who's counting? The place itself? Total dive bar perfection. A couple of colorful locals popped in for a quick drink, the vibe was laid-back, and the drinks were strong enough to make you forget about the burger heartbreak (at least temporarily). Jenny was a gem -- attentive, funny, and quick with a refill. We were still mourning the loss of those smash burgers when someone at the bar confirmed, "Oh yeah, they are that good." Fantastic. Thanks for that.
