    My weekly hangout...my meeting spot ...my getaway. Thank you Shamrock for always making me feel like I'm welcome! Eclectic music, switching from Korn to Swing to Mos Def... all in the same hour! Good drink specials, $2 pool tables all day on Mondays, decent mozzarella sticks- what else could you ask for?

    Favorite bar in the city. Cheap drinks and food and lots of games--pool, beer pong, basketball, giant Jenga, etc.

    Shamrock is a very...unique place lol. They have ALOT going on in there! I feel like no matter what day nor time of day I visit, there is little-to-no parking in the GIANT strip mall lot it's attached to lol. I wouldn't want to park too far from the entrance if I were alone just because there's lots of activity in the lot and area. When you arrive, prepare to walk up approx. 3 flights of stairs. Also, depending on the day and time and I guess the way the wind blows, you may or may not be patted down. Of course there's a full bar and kitchen with bar food (burgers, wings, fries), but also, I've been very surprised to see that they have foods like steak and potatoes lol. The drinks are very reasonable, and happy hour will have you nice and lit for the low low! $3 well drinks and $2 shots...can't beat it! So, you can hang out and drink or you can play their SUPER wide array of arcade games, pool tables, or ping pong tables. Also, there's a large section for beer pong and flip cup (which is my favorite and most fun section). It really is a cool spot to hang out. Casual and chill, but I can get SUPER packed on weekend nights. But I'm glad they're going well because young people seem to really enjoy it.

    Karaoke RULES!!!

    I've been back here a few times recently and need to do some updating to some general information. The city-wide smoking ban has been in effect for a while now and the air in here is SO clean which makes it a lot easier to hang out longer, play more games and spend more money. In addition to the great selection of games throughout the facility, the bar food is good, the drink prices are great, they have specials though out the week, Karaoke on Sundays, and the largest ladies room I have ever seen anywhere. One could have a party in the ladies room with its HUGE lounge area before the actual room of potties, and I just might... The other day my friend ordered a hamburger, which comes with fries for $6!! It was a decent burger, too! For an extra dollar she got it dressed (.50) and topped with sauteed mushrooms (.50). It was a generous serving which allowed me to 'help' her with the fries, but what a great deal! They have a happy hour deal between 5 & 6, AND, Mondays $2 Jameson, $2 Rolling Rock & $2 PinPong rental. So much fun to be had!!!

    Shamrock is a super fun nighttime spot. Its reminds me of a more relaxed version on Dave and Buster's. They have so many different games to play. Pool tables were very popular of course. We played a little cornhole. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer pong table. The drinks were reasonable and very strong. I definitely would love to come back when I'm back in New Orleans.

    Beer on tap... Stella, Blue moon, dos equis, shiner bock... #happyhappyhappy

    Shamrock is shamROLLIN!!!! Any given night you can hear live music, for a cover of course, darts, pool, hoopin... This is adult fun packaged in disguise. Located in a strip mall, who would've thUnk something of this magnitude would be in this strip mall in the Mid City Area??? Formerly the location of the recently relocated Rock-n-Bowl, Shamrock is the place to be for a quick bite, booze, darts, pool, mini-bowling, hooping & live music. The dance floor & stage area are giNORMOUS!!!!! Recently they've added & are utilizing a 2nd bar, how sweeeeet is that??? I mean right by the restrooms, go empty your bladder & come out to get it refilled!!!! #winwin. Playing pool or darts requires you to pay at the bar ahead of time, no coin operations here. That's cool because once you play your turn you have to return to the bar to pay again or move on. Food is also paid for at the bar & delivered by the other employees who can be seen busting tables & the like. Ladies bathroom has a large powder room & then there's a separate toilet area, thats great because not allll the time that you go to the bathroom are you really going to the bathroom; sometimes we have to powder our noses. Weekly drink specials. Full bar. More than 25 beers on tap, live music, food & fun... Most assuredly local & visitors alike get #turntup here!!!!

    Shamrock seems better in theory than in reality. Inside the old Rock and Bowl, Shamrock is jammed with all varieties of games. Darts, pool, ping pong and even a punching strength machine fill the floor. The bar has a relatively large selection of drafts which are served in frozen pint glasses. Kudos for having Smithwick's on tap. There were plenty of bartenders working so I didn't have to wait long to get a drink. They were attentive and friendly. Now for the less than great (at least in my opinion): The level of smoke in this bar got to an overwhelming eye burning, clothes stinking stage as the night progressed. It was difficult to breathe. There is a DJ on Saturday night. It is very loud. If you want to carry on a conversation, even on the opposite side of the bar, good luck. On the night I was there, there was a local rapper in the house. He gave an impromptu performance asking (if you're under 18 stop reading now) for "all the ladies with shaved pussies to say yeah". While I appreciate his attempt at identifying those ladies who keep it clean, it was a little much. Normally I would have given this experience a two star rating, but I was with a bunch of awesome people and that warrants an extra star.

    If you want to play pool there is no better place than Shamrock. They have over 20 pool tables. And if pool isn't your thing they also have ping pong tables, an air hockey table, darts, this mini bowling game, and some video games. What else can you do at Shamrock? Karaoke night on Sundays! A photo booth to capture those great drunk pictures. Beer pong tables. And they also have hula hoops there in case you're in the mood to workout your torso :) Game prices are all inexpensive. Not really sure on prices (I'm bad with prices. I just pay whatever it is without asking or looking at receipts). I think pool tables rent out for $6/hr. Darts and ping pong tables are comparably priced. The food is also pretty good. I eat the chicken tenders almost every time I go and they always hit the spot. The bar food offers a nice variety of food that includes red beans and rice, gumbo, steak, philly cheesesteak sandwich, burgers, and more. The only issue I would have at Shamrock is that on crowded nights it could be bad for people that don't like cigarette smoke since they do still allow smoking here. Luckily I don't come here on busy nights so I've never had to deal with smoke much. All in all, Shamrock is a really fun place to hang out with friends whether to play games or just drink at the bar. The bartenders are all fun and outgoing. Love Rochelle, Tracy, and Cecilia.

    Perfectly Fried Wings!

    I have been going to Shamrock ever since I was able to get in. It is located in a shopping plaza, so there is plenty of parking. Saturday nights are probably the busiest nights, since sometimes you have to circle the parking lot to get a spot to park. Shamrock isn't the perfect bar and you always have to climb a set of stairs to get to, but I love this place! If my friends and I go hang out at a new spot and get bored, then we almost always end up at Shamrock. It's a bit rundown over the years, but the prices are cheap and service is always great whenever I go. There are always bouncers at the entrance to check IDs and to check for weapons to make sure everyone is safe. Sometimes they have live bands and there is a cover fee to get in, but it's never too much. One of my favorite things about this bar is the large Gatorade water dispenser at the entrance. It's almost always filled, so you can make sure your friends and you are properly hydrated! Other bars have smaller containers that are mostly just ice and tend to run out of water after like 5-10 cups. The bar area is huge and there are plenty of bartenders to serve drinks. It's almost always busy throughout the night, but the wait is never terribly long. Shamrock has so many things to do, like giant Jenga, pool tables, darts, shuffle board, ping pong, air hockey, basketball machines, and punching bag machines to name a few. My friends are almost always playing beer pong and other fun drinking games in one of the cage rooms. That's one way to keep the whole group having fun and happy! Their bar food is surprisingly pretty good. I almost always order their Breaded Wings or Buffalo Tenders when I come! I normally don't order wings, but these are one of my favorites in the city. Their wings are addicting, nobody can resist eating them when they're brought out. Some friends told me that their 12 oz ribeye is good and affordable, which sounds like I have to give it a try next time I go! All in all, this is probably my favorite bar in the city! This place is filled with games to play and the bar is well stocked to keep you tipsy! It may not be a nice area or bar, but you can count on never leaving here sober!

    An adult arcade that is only missing the ball pit! I mean, I can see why, they serve alcohol, and I can only imagine what would happen in a ball pit when you get a bunch of adults drinking. On the north east corner of Tulane and Carrolton, park in the parking lot in front and go up the stairs to the entrance. **Please note, that I am deducting 1 star for the handicapped entrance not being readily apparent** There is not usually a cover charge unless something is going on. Speaking of things going on, they will have karaoke, bands, midget wrestling and pool tournaments on occasion, but they will usually announce events on their Facebook page. Once you have gotten through the door, straight ahead is the game area. To the right is the karaoke area and restrooms. To the left is the bar, then the enclosed outdoor smoking area. There are drink specials, jello shots, and all the hard alcohol you could ever want. There are many pool tables, ping pong tables, dart boards, basketball game, skee ball, mini bowling and so much more. Bring your friends, have some beverages and play some games. My only concern is when leaving, I would be afraid of some drunk not being able to walk down the stairs to leave and falling. It could be dangerous, though I am sure some will laugh at the pain of others.

    Me and a couple of friends came here Christmas night. It seemed like they were short staffed hat night because the bar was really crowded and you had to wait a While to get waited on. When I first got there it wasn't too crowded but as the night went on more and more people started to show up. The bar situation never got better though, so the wait just got longer. When I finally ordered my food it took them a while to get it to me. We had to stop a worker walking by to let her know we hadn't gotten our order yet. We eventually got it though. It just took forever.

    To say the least this place is interesting. I had a friend bring me here who loves to come and play the games. There is plenty of parking and be warned this place gets very loud. They have shuffle board, darts, skiball, two bowling lanes, ping pong, pool tables and air hockey so, there is a variety to choose from. Some of the games were free however you will need to get some of the items from the bar and it just goes onto your tab. We started with food and a beer at the bar and my burger was pretty lackluster and very well done but the fries were decent. It's been a while since I have been served a burger with condiment packets in the basket but, hey it's all part of the experience here. I would come here if I was looking for some diversity in nightlife instead of the usual outings.

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.

When you enter Cajun Mike's, it screams right into your face "Dive Bar!" From the tin ceiling to the well weathered bar top, fancy is not on the menu here. I came here because I heard their food was top notch, and I was hungry and grabbing food to go, so less walking to the hotel was the strategy so the food wouldn't be freezing when I got it back to the room. I perused the menu and decided on a few red beans and rice, a gator sausage po boy, a shrimp po boy and a roast beef po boy. I figured I may as well bring back a good sampling for both of us to try. I placed my order with the female bartender and then ordered a can of beer, no taps in this swanky joint. While I waited for my food to come out, I drank my beer and listened to the regulars and the bartender talk about various topics. My food was delivered pretty quickly, I then embarked on my walk back to the hotel. Once I arrived, we heated up the red beans and rice as it was not warm, but once it was, it was delicious. The big chunks of sausage really made it good and it had just the right amount of spice. All three of the po boy sandwiches were delicious in their own way: the shrimp was crispy and tender and full of flavor. The roast beef was full of flavor and absolutely delicious and the hair sausage was moist and flavorful as well. Each one was great in their own way. While o cannot speak much to the actual bar, since I spent limited time there, I can say the food here is outstanding. My beer was cold which is all I can ask for from a bar really. If you're hungry and don't want to venture down bourbon street, this place has great food that is reasonably priced.
