    Went to see a comedy show here on Friday. The bar is your typical sive bar with a few booths and pool table. They do have a small Happy Hour from 3-8. However, the drinks were not strong at all. We had the Happy Hour double well and actually had to get an additional double beat to add to our mixed drinks. They advertise a cute patio but it's actually extremely small and near the trash. The comedy show wasn't good and the promoter was actually wouldn't let me turn my chair around before the show started and there wasn't anyone but us 6. They also advertised a pop up at 7 but the guy that served from the back of the pickup truck didn't come till 8. Not a fun time.

    Can't believe I've never made a review here! Rendezvous is a local dive bar that my friends and I frequent at when we are looking for a quick drink and relaxation. Cheap strong drinks every time! Pool tables available. Juke box playing. Sports/tv shows on. It's a nice little spot even with outdoor seating. If you asked me a year ago, I would've said this bar needed a face lift. Now, it's had many upgrades made making it feel cleaner, more inviting and enjoyable to be in. I miss the old bartenders that Rendezvous had prior to the "buyout", but the new bartenders are very attentive as well and fun to talk to. They've also added lite bites to eat! Still wouldn't recommend this place for eats because its a simple simple simple menu, but if your standards are set low and are looking for a quick snack, yes. Overall; good spot.

    I'd cut my own Dick off to drink here. This is the best bar. Staff: fucking great Prices: the Tits Vibe: top notch All the games, (pool golden tee darts) all the sports (no seriously, they have every major game) And there's usually a great local pop up either on premise or doing fast and free delivery to your barstool. Mmmm so

    View from the corner seat on a Sunday during an NFL game (not the Saints.. it would have been more crowded)

    Cheap drinks. All the sports on tv. Pool table. Fairly quick service. Some outdoor seating. $10 minimum for credit card service. (Don't care for that) The tables were a little sticky while no one coming around to clean them, ever. We went on a Sunday during Football season. It was crowded, but we still got a seat. The drinks were so cheap, and you can open carry in NOLA, so we ended up stopping here twice while we walked up and down Magazine Street.

    The drinks here are strrroonggggg

    This is definitely my go-to bar whenever I visit this part of town on Magazie St. Such a chill, laid back atmosphere. The female bartender that's always here for Happy Hour is quick & attentive. She definitely knows her drinks and I love hoe she works the bar and crowd. Great place to frequent if you wanna chill out at a bar & relax your mind. Great to people watch here as well as it usually brings in a diverse crowd of people. The best part is they have free wi-fi

    Local bar. Friendly service! Very reasonable priced alcohol! Located at a corner. Easy to find. 5 Greyhound Drinks for $14.00! What a steal! As you enter this bar... you will smell that old building character. Sorta like the old book in the library that's been sitting there for while. The bar tender! She was so sweet! The people in the bar were locals and were more than happy to tell you where to go. There are pool tables here. Plenty of sitting space. Casino Slot machines. And a juke box. Definitely a casual bar. Fun. Sweet. Friendly. And most of all it's so affordable and reasonable! Definitely a must visit if your in New Orleans! Or just grab a drink to go and enjoy more of the city!

    What a refreshing take on bad publicity. Bravo to your method of responding to a review about a shitty employee you have on staff. Hopefully you've found better applicants and haven't had to close your doors due to a couple of bad employees and a global pandemic. I stand by my initial review, but 3 stars for reminding me how terrible of a time I had at your bar 5 years ago. How do I get one of these shirts???

    I've been coming to New Orleans for years and I promise you that BINGO with Elvira on Wednesday…read morenights here is the most fun you're going to have with your friends Elvira is funny & fabulous and sets up a fine prize table - these ladies were thrilled to win (and they were all more sober than I've ever known them to be on a night out) Great fun

    I have wondered about this bar since I was a kid. The name conjures up images of a sleazy strip…read moreclub or a dark place filled with lewd behavior. Well, I am here to tell you, it isn't any of those things. The Naughty Knight is a bar for drinkers. It is open 24 hours, so regardless of when you need a beer, they'll be open. I ended up here after a yelp event. I was super excited to try it after always wondering what it was like. After all that anticipation, it didn't live up to the hype in my mind. Inside there is a bar, pool tables and a internet connected jukebox. The jukebox was great as I was able to listen and dance to Frank Sinatra, and then rap to BG. Imagine how impressed my friends were. Beer was very cheap and plentiful. They do sell frozen pizzas for $5, but I do not recommend you try one. It looked like the frozen pizzas at the dollar store and the bartender confirmed that is what they were. I came back a second time, but didn't stay. the vibe seemed different. I am sure I will end up here again though, as WB bars are good spots to close out a night. If you're looking for a place to drink at all hours of the day or night, give the Naughty Knight a try.

    To call Roaring 20s merely a "dive bar" would be a disservice. No, we're talking *dive lounge* and…read moreI mean this as the highest compliment. Normally, I avoid day drinking. I think it's because I just love night drinking so much. Well, I can get past that because Roaring 20s makes you feel like it's always nighttime! The cave-like interior is dark with dim red lighting. It feels like you're entering someone's basement rec room in the mid 70s, old couch in a corner, vinyl bar stools, wood paneling and low ceilings and all. Think of Ted Knight's daughters' ultra cool basement pad in Too Close For Comfort, only realllly fucking dark. Visits from Monroe not included. I dare you to *not* stay and hang out, even if the sun is shining brightly outside (stay a couple hours and maybe it'll be dark by the time you leave). So, you ring the bell, the bartender buzzes you in, and you walk past a small group of friendly older gents sitting at the bar. A quick perusal and no skinny jeans-wearing hipster in sight. So, no, not a dive bar at all as we know 'em today. Thankfully. As a gal, sometimes you might feel odd walking into a place where you the only one. You might even worry for a second if you've just entered a men's-only club. But! "Unescorted ladies" are not only welcomed at Roaring 20s, they get their second drink for free (that's what the little paper cup that the bartender puts in front of you means)! And don't even think for a second you'll be fending off undesirable come ons from the regulars. It's very much be and let be here. In a world full of contrived dive bars, Roaring 20s stands out as a comfortable place for "unescorted ladies," is cheap, allows smoking (the air purifier does a decent job), has a friendly clientele and feels like the elusive "real deal."

    Roaring 20's is a great example of a West Bank dive bar…read more I have been wanting to try Roaring 20's for years. I was never brave enough to venture in, but recently read a review (thanks Joi) that renewed my interest. Since it was fresh on my mind, and my friend had never been there either, we made the long trek to Terrytown. We pulled in around 5 a.m. on a Saturday night and the place looked packed. We walked to the door and pushed the buzzer. The buzzer adds an exclusive feel and makes you feel like you're being judged before you enter. When they didn't immediately open the door, I became self conscious that I wasn't cool enough or properly attired. Lucky for us, the bartender had stepped away from the buzzer and a friendly patron opened the door. When we walked to the bar the bartender shook our hands and introduced herself as Sandy. Sandy told us that she knew as soon as we walked in that we had never been there before. She was very friendly and welcoming. She explained that we should make ourselves at home and have fun. She must have assumed we were fancy people because when I ordered water, she explained that they only had tap water and hoped that was ok. I told her that we had read about the bar on the internet, but she just laughed as if it was impossible. The bar had a small dance floor, jukebox and two couches. What made this bar even better was the woman taking a nap on one of the couches. This was a great experience and was everything I imagined it would be. It is too bad that it took a yelp review for me to build up the nerve to go. If you want a laid back dive bar, I recommend you give Roaring 20's a try.
