The bartenders were very nice to us it's a good place to listen to live music. I really enjoyed the Pimm's cup and Sazerac cocktail. Small mix up with our appetizers (allegedly the printer went down to the kitchen) our gracious bartender said she would like to take care of the food. read more

We saw a lot of balconies to people watch on Bourbon St but some were hotels and we guessed for hotel customers only. There were a few clubs that looked rammed that may also have offered the same but we were looking for a spot that was busy but not rammed and we settled on Pour House. Came in for some drinks and people watching. The balcony spot was great, it overlooked a souvenir shop which we saw staff try to stop a theft, some street security try to stare down a bunch of kids and a lot of really drunk people walking around. There was a diagonal balcony trying to get people to flash them and tossing out beads. We could see the buskers and just watched the night devolve from here. The bartender was super friendly. She was super nice. Drinks we're that expensive. However they were pretty water downed and my rum and coke was flat. Solid spot, drinks are mid. read more

My roommate and I came to a burlesque show here recently and had a great time. It was free for starters, and who doesn't love that? The performances were great--all unique and entertaining. There is both indoor and balcony seating and several different bars for service so you don't have to go far to re-up on beverages. I had several of their special sex on the beach syringe shots. Tasty and they got me pretty trashed, I won't lie. Bourbon St isn't where we normally go for a night out but I'd go back to this place, happily. read more

This place is also called Pour House @ Bourbon. We got some good drinks here and you can't beat a $5 breakfast with this view. We were here before the upstairs bartender started so we had to keep going downstairs to order or get things. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is there was a $6+ service charge on our bill. Also the bill we received was itemized so you couldn't tell what you were charged. Seems shady. Best to pay for each round and not leave an open tab. We ordered through the bartender not Uber Eats. read more

This place was great! We were greeted by Bartender names Jess! She was sooo sweet and definitely took care of us. She encouraged us to try this green tea shot and it was really good. They have a music machine that you can pay to play some good music as well. For food we tried the garlic Parmesan fries and lemon pepper wings they were good! They have a restroom upstairs (it's not the best but hey you're in Bourbon... lol so it works). They request you to buy t Keats one drink tk use the restroom... but why wouldn't you when the wait staff is soo sweet! There's also a balcony where you can throw beads from as well. read more

Jarmira & Troy saw us on Bourbon walking looking for food and they must have knew we were hangry. Cause they came up to my bf and i asking straight about food in their bar. At first i didn't want to go cause i was set on what i wanted but their energy convinced us to come in. Their energy was so captivating and welcoming. She saw that i was hangry and she wanted to make sure that i got some good food and drinks while also giving pleasant compliments. We ordered chicken quesadillas and shrimp Poboy and the food was deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllliiiiiiiccccioooussss. You never would have noticed the place without their amazing energy read more

Started coming to this bar back in 2014 when it was Johnny White's, we'd toggle between the Sports Bar & the Hole in the Wall and spend hours chilling (pause for a moment of silence). This was our 1st trip back since the sale & reno so we had to check it out. I so appreciate that the lay out is still the same just as much as I appreciate how new it is. The jukebox is still cranking, the cheap beers are still flowing and there's still familiar faces around. As for the food, all I can say is Debris Fries, Debris Fries, DEBRIS FRIES!! Tender beef, gravy in all its garlicky goodness on top of crinkle fries, we added grilled onions for a little extra punch. Jon, Brandon & John were awesome! When you wanna take a break from the Bourbon St. crazy, just stop here for a few. read more

I was wandering around the Quarter on Christmas day. Not really headed anywhere. I kept looking at people with drinks and instantly wanted a bloody mary. When the urge hit I was outside Local 718. So I thought it best to go in and order one. Instantly the music was great. 70s 80s soft rock. An eclectic group of people. I was at the right spot. The bloody was soo good. The bartender and patrons were wonderful. Oh and the dog on the bar added the right touch. I left with my bloody and headed to Clover Grill. Got my food and headed right back for another. Next trip I'll be back. read more

Local 718 is the best bar I've been to on bourbon by far. As soon as we walked in Kristen was incredibly welcoming. Her drinks are top notch, the people are a HUGE vibe and I didn't want to leave to go anywhere else. Shoutout for being 10/10 can't wait to come back. read more

Low key, comfortable bar with attentive bar service from Stephanie and Christian crew on Tuesday night. The live band played upbeat jazz. The best live music on Bourbon st that night! Good times, great friends! Also one of the only bars with an upstairs balcony open. read more

It was my home away from home dive bar. Christian aka Tink was fantastic! Absolutely hilarious and a great time! Bartender KD may have been the coolest dude I've ever met down south and will definitely be back! read more

Went there for wings. Wings were on point. We asked for them crispy. Not a lot of seating.

Great dive bar, live music, good vibes and Leann makes the BEST Bloody Mary!!!! One of those places you must go to in New Orleans

What a beautiful sunrise on Bourbon Street!! It was our last morning in NOLA, we had only an hour to enjoy before heading to the airport, and at 8am there aren't many options. That being said I now have a new fav go to place on Bourbon. Ashley was funny , cheerful , and pretty much all around amazing. 1. They had nonalcoholic beer for me 2. My husband said it was the best Bloody Mary he ever had and 3. My daughter was amazed by her drink as well. What a great vibe!!! Will for sure go again read more

Staff is horrible and the manager is even worse. The menu had no description of a sandwich that was mixed with pork. After looking at the sandwich we asked for another item with no pork. The bartender relayed the message to the manager Sara, if that's her real name. Sara said "I'm not issuing a refund because the menu says sausage." (Which is not true!) Then she just walked away and hid the whole night!! After that the bartenders started to get smart with me not knowing what was going on. Theres not enough room to talk about the whole situation in detail. I did record it tho. The sliders were no good either. read more

We were in NOLA for 4 nights and came back to this bar every night. We never ate here so can't speak to the food but the drinks were fantastic and the staff was even better! We would have walked right on by if it weren't for Christian's big smile, dance moves and enthusiasm that talked us into coming inside that first night. Next up the security guy Kim, provided a warm welcome and a run down of the three different bars, where the bathrooms were and an introduction to the staff. Then we met the bartender, Brian. He was SO much fun and made the best drinks. He truly made myself, my husband and my parents feel right at home. Perfect hole in the wall. Enough people to interact with and have a good time but not so busy that you can't find a good seat. read more

Kristen the bartender was awesome! Had a band playing in the afternoon, the drinks were a heavy pour for the price, well worth it!

Great food in a perfect spot on bourbon. Bartender, Stephanie was on point with the drinks. I will be back for more long islands!

This is a great bar amidst on bourbon street. It is a low-key environment with seating which was a plus. The bartender, Jai, is really friendly and helped us with recommendations about where to go in New Orleans. This is a must see for a chill spot on bourbon street. read more

I would have given more stars but the bartender was awfully rude. My friend and I were first greeted by someone doing security there. He invited us to come in and explore the food options. I thought he was the host at first. We walked around the place and figured we would enjoy the balcony seating. We walked to the bar on the ground level and the bartender looked annoyed. We asked if we can sit upstairs and she replied, "the stairs are right there" in a harsh voice. My friend followed up with "well, will there be a host or a server upstairs?" And the bartender quickly responded that we just walked around here. My friend and I looked at each other and just didn't feel welcomed. We couldn't help but tell her she had an attitude and she laughed as we left. Long story short-- the security agent and bartender should switch jobs! read more

Best bar on the st come here for a good time . Jarmira is amazing and made sure we had a great time!

Location is the only thing that makes this place worth a visit. Nothing on the menu jumps out at you. Friendly bartender upstairs but dude behind the bar downstairs was GRUMPY. read more

We came in for a drinks and we enjoyed the friendly bartenders and nice drink specials. Me and my friend both had something to eat. He had the jambalaya which was very good, and I had the sliders which was the perfect size for me. Great hole in the wall bar to have a seat and escape bourbon for a bit. read more

Horrible. We waited 50 minutes for our meal. When it arrived we were told they don't have any utensils or condiments.

WARNING TO ANYONE SOBER. So I understand how this area works, all kinds of people are pushy and trying to sell stuff. But this woman who works for 718 and stands outside with shots is scary. In our group of four we have two sober people and two not sober people. This woman started trying to sell us shots, we declined and kept walking. She physically stopped one of us and physically poured two shots down one of our throats, luckily one of our drinking friends but then tried to physically pour shots down one of our sober friends and I had to step in front of her to stop this woman. We said no, we tried to walk away because this woman is NON CONSENSUALLY poured shots down our friends throat and wouldn't take no for an answer from our sober friend till I stepped in between them. She wouldn't let us walk away and said we had to pay for the two shots she poured down our friends throat. $20 for two shots we were FORCED to take. So effed up. Took a picture of the sign to remember so we could write a review and she is IN this photo. read more

Local in the industry also. Worst service ever. Stopped in 4:30 in the morning and ordered breakfast. Was barely greeted by the bartender and was ignored the rest of the time. Ordered breakfast. Took 40 minutes to get there. While cooked properly; it was delivered by a very surly looking young man. When asked for more butter, He rolled his eyes at me and walked away in a huff. After 10 to 15 more minutes he came back down with a small ramekin. I told him that I was sorry. Boxed in to go boxes, and served with an impression that we should leave as soon as possible. All in all I would give this a very negative review. As it left a bad taste in my mouth, even though the food was quite tasty. In my opinion the poor House on Bourbon should work on its overnight staff's customer service skills ASAP. read more
