    Dive bar with cheap drinks, $6/each. They also have shirts for sale, we got 2! Only 1 bartender working.

    Loved the sign!

    I was thrilled when I found this spot because it was my best friend's bachelor weekend and the perfect way to get the Friday started. It's quite an old spot with an Irish pub feel. They had a few gambling machines that some of my friends partook. We had seltzers and beer to get things started and took some photos because it's "the best fucking Irish bar in the world". I can only imagine this place next weekend. I will be coming back here one day and getting toasty. The help was great and there's plenty of seating.

    Cool little Irish pub. Great spot to watch sports or just hangout. Seating might be limited but they have good selection on beer and other drinks. Great price too! Definitely a cool place to hang.

    ...we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere".

    Irish pubs are known for drinking, conversation, and being great places to gather and get to know others over a few drinks. Friendly staff, informal atmosphere, and a sense of community are hallmarks of an Irish Pub and Ryan's checks all the boxes. A cozy place ideal for connection, conversation, and to gather information from locals and bar staff. Our bartender was very helpful in choosing places to eat, visit, and browse in and around the French Quarter. If you know your Irish Pubs then you'll understand to belly up to the bar and enjoy the casual, friendly atmosphere.

    It's a bar, it's in the quarter - of course it's dark and loud but. It's owned by a real Irish man, they have Smithwiicks "Smitticks" and Guinness. I prefer the red ale. Great bar with comfortable booths a jukebox and plenty of tvs to see all the games. Go check this place out we ended up here 2 nights in a row and loved it.

    $5 Irish car bombs. Do i need to say anymore? This place is a cute pub and a great hangout spot. There's also only one restroom.

    Guinness FTW

I've been to Fahy's a few times for drinks and pool with local friends in the last year or two. Generally great prices and people. However, I came by last night, Sunday, April 26th, 2026, for pool on my own for the first time as a lone woman, around dusk. The earlier bartender when I arrived was a nice, attentive gentleman I've seen before who knew his stuff and handled things! I warmed up on the pool table, and then played my first pool game with a man who, unfortunately, got very aggressive in his speech with me, suggesting things like "women need to bend to men like good females should on the pool table", accused me of cheating, and then uncomfortably questioned me about dating unrelated men I did not know there who were playing on the second pool table. The hostility disturbed me, but I finished our pool game, in which I lost in fairness, and then he refused to shake hands, be cordial, and continued to cause a scene interpersonally around the tables. I would love for problems to have ended there. But... I left the pool tables concerned after this encounter, while he lingered, and I tried to talk with the new bartender who started the late shift a bit after, a young woman with long dark hair, who started bartending around 8 or 9pm. I tried to tell her, at the edge of the bar alone, as I ordered another drink, that there might be an aggressive man over by the tables, and I just wanted to say that, in my own words to her-- to the bartender in charge, on record PRIVATELY, woman to woman , in case he kept being aggressive with me-- that this might continue to be a problem, and that I hoped he wouldn't keep being weird with me, because I wanted to stay and keep drinking and playing pool with others respectfully. The bartender did not listen to my concern about a what happened with any basic neutrality or professionalism. She cut me off loudly at first, and yelled, "DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU A CAB???" -- with zero awareness, as if I was some dumb drunk tourist lost from Jazz Fest, and despite me being a local resident with my own transportation, and with a bar tab still open. What's worse, at this same time, there was a man sitting at the bar next to me, who was more of a regular at Fahy's than me apparently, who overheard my one-on-one disclosure to the bartender. This second man interjected on my private conversation, and condescendingly accused me of lying as a woman making up a "problems" at "his bar". The bartender uncritically accepted this intrusion on my conversation. She further encouraged more of this "local" customer group to gang up on me, belittle me, and to physically get in my face as a lone woman for attempting to privately complain about unacceptable male behavior, while the bartender claimed, "that's my regulars", suggesting that I was the problem and that I needed to leave. I did not want any further attention from others over the issue, and yet she unprofessionally encouraged other patrons to interact with me when I was concerned. Are bartenders supposed to escalate violent "mob mentality" behavior with their customers to protect one creepy drunk? Is this an appropriate standard for a bar, and as if New Orleans businesses should function as high school popularity contests with a teenage level of maturity while intoxicated? Again, as a bartender and professional myself, I know how to handle and mediate a private complaint, and Fahy's staff this last Sunday night showed the absolute worst way such a situation could have been handled. The bartender in the later hours had absolutely no professionalism nor discretion with my concern for misogynistic behavior that concerned me as a woman, and which I tried to keep private, and in which I wanted to not disturb her bar in general. I really hope other bartenders here don't handle patrons' concerns in such a dangerously dismissive manner. The point is, bars with pool tables will attract problems. It's up to a bar's management if they're capable of being responsible for it and maintaining a respectful culture for all. As a local who used to recommend friends to swing by Fahy's as a rare, relatable, and reliable dive bar in the quarter, I will not do so again. Why would I spend my hard earned money again, or tell others to, in such an unsafe, rude environment? Fahy's needs to get its bartenders and security tight because what I experienced as a female local pool lover and drinker was NOT OKAY.

Yet, it seems quite popular with locals and was fairly full for a Tuesday Trivia Night. I ordered a Pimm's cup since Pimm's was on the shelf - the bartender looked confused and told me they don't have any of the ingredients to make one. I changed my order to a flavored vodka - they don't stock any. I ended up ordering a Vodka & 7, but received a Vodka Soda. Were the drinks cheap? Not so much. Was the service friendly? Not so much. I ordered food hoping this was the redeeming feature of the bar. I ordered a steak sandwich at $18 - the service time was quick but the sandwich didn't have much flavor - it was a dry, difficult to bite through thin steak with not much flavor to speak of. The tater tots were crispy and hot and I loved the Brussel Sprouts; they were doused excessively in the dressing but I liked it. There is a nice patio out back - they had fans in this area which is always appreciated. This bar just didn't have the stock and amenities that many other bars in the area do have . Walk to magazine street for better options.
