    Did not try the food, but a great selection of beer! Atmosphere could not be better! Service is non better. Glad we stumbled into this place!

    Last night was impressive to say the least it was the 1st time I've been to this bar usually I don't go across the river for anything but I'm glad I did this bar was well worth it the beer was great the music was even better this has to be one of the coolest bars ever

    Legendary status for a reason- one of the oldest bars on Algiers Point- don't let the dilapidated building throw you off, or shy you away- this is the true diamond in the rough. The math on drinks is a easy- $5- and the mixed drinks are solo cup worthy. Live music and friendly customers! Depending on who is behind the bar...some times it's service with a smile and sometimes it's just service. That's part of the charm, I guess. No food options here, bag of chips at best.

    The Old Point Bar is a great example of a neighborhood dive bar. Despite growing up in Algiers, I had never been to this bar. Thanks to the recent west bank bar crawl event (Thanks Marielle S. for the itinerary), I got to find out what I had been missing all these years. As I entered I was surprised at the size of the bar. It is fairly large with very high ceilings. There is a very long bar and several tables. There is also a stage and small area behind the stage with a pool table. One odd thing about the bar was that the men's restroom door couldn't be opened all the way. When opening the door it struck the stairway leading to the pool table. I guess this is their way of determining regulars. I obviously was not and when I exited there was a loud thump. Another interesting thing about the bathroom is that they put ice in the urinals. This is a huge plus. If you are a guy, you will enjoy watching the ice melt while you pee. The bartender was friendly, but service suffered so she could take care of regulars first. As obvious outsiders we had to flag her down to get a drink. I can't hold that against her since if I were a regular, I would expect better service too. Beer was reasonably priced. There was a decent selection of beers, and drafts were around $3.50. I enjoyed my time at the Old Point and would gladly come back. If you're in the point and want a casual, neighborhood dive, give Old Point a try.

    Thank God there is no more smoking!! Whew! I mean some of the best bars where so unenjoyable in the past when smoking was allowed inside and this was one of them. Now, its one of the best IMHO on the Westbank. I have one small gripe, plastic go cups are used all the time. I havent had mixed drinks here yet, but I hear from others that they are made right. Thats the only negative I can think of. Umm, kinda older crowd, so if you are looking to hook up with the opposite sex, be prepared. Pluses... Live music every night pet friendly lots of parking friendly bartenders ok prices friendly atmosphere almost completely French Quarter/Uptown feel to this bar great draught beer selection right next to levee to get freaky if need be lots of open windows for nice constant breeze inside historic building Its been my go to lately on the WB. Check it out. Might see me there and isn't that worth the visit alone? lol

    I love the Old Point Bar. It's a quintessential dive bar located in the second oldest neighborhood in New Orleans...Algiers Point. What I like: Cheap drinks Big windows that open up to the outside, allowing you to sit outside and still watch and hear the band playing inside. Free music almost every day of the week Friendly bartenders GREAT jukebox Nice ferry ride from the other side of the pond What I don't care for: I can't find anything wrong with this place. If you're into dive bars and live music, get yourself to the Westbank and check out this amazing bar.

    I heard of this place from a couple of people. Decided to check out open mic night. First impression outside. Tables, chairs, couple of guys sitting enjoying the calm, 85ish weather drinking a beer. Across the street from the levee, so not much traffic. I go inside, and it's a nice neighborhood bar. Big, heavy, wide chairs at the bar...I like that. Being a big guy, I hate wobbly, or small wooden, or fancy deco bar stools. Give me a nice big seat anytime. Not a whole lot of people here, but all neighborly, regular types. Some people stop by for a quick one, or walking their dog, so stop in to say hello. It's bigger than I thought it would be, pool table in the back. Permanent stage in main room. Gambling machines on one wall. A lot of "collectable" bar stuff, flags, license plates, signs, lights.. kinda old fashioned but cool. Open mic night was kind of sparse on talent, but fun. The host played a few tunes with a drummer back up. It was ok. Beers are cold and priced right, good shot pour. The bartender Jill, was friendly, cool, personable. I like this place. Cuz, I'm a neighborhood guy. And this is definitely a neighborhood place. Men's room has a trough, and is pretty small. Hate to see it on a busy night.

    See all

    Yep. Excellent neighborhood joint. If you want a high life you need to ask. They don't keep it on display, ask for it by name.

    A step back in time in Algiers LA. Friendly staff and lots of locals to talk to. A short walk from the ferry out of NOLA.
