    Birthday cake pudding shot. Yum!
    Nikki B.

    Three Legged Dog is a classic dive bar nestled in the French Quarter. It's a 24-hour watering hole with dollar bills on the ceiling, good tunes, and friendly bartenders that serve stiff drinks with a smile. It's also popular with the locals for its boiled crawfish, which is served up fresh daily at 6 p.m. Mom & I stopped in on a sizzling summer day to take a break from the heat. The bartender on duty was a likeable guy with a wicked sense of humor. He told us they just made some birthday cake pudding shots, so we got one to share along with a couple of vodka sodas. I have to say, that pudding shot was strong & tasty. Don't pass it up. *Service fee added for credit cards.

    Street parking only, small corner store with high ceilings, dark dive bar, fans and loud music Loved the music selection, good snacks and strong pour, service was sweet friendly Location like a dive bar, music like a club and restroom like the epic fear challenge

    Crawfish boil!

    I love crawfish season with the Dog. Every friend from out of town now knows to ask to swing by there to enjoy the boil.

    Divey bar which was cool until some idiot came in louder than the music talking crap about wanking himself. The bartender gal entertained him so he didn't shut up! We ordered tots and hatch chili chicken rolls before this clown started so be were obligated to stay. Both items were very salty, so if you're into that, and wanker dude talker, this is your place. The ambience was ok until that point, small hole is the wall with a musty smell and beer gnats everywhere. Egg roll on the floor, so guess nobody cleans. Maybe return, but thats big maybe..

    Was late one night and we wanted something to eat. My friend saw a video of someone recommending this place so we went. It was a Friday night and it wasn't packed. It's a pretty small bar and I thought it was unique they had money on the ceiling. It was about 11:30 and we wanted to order some food. The guy at the bar said the kitchen was closed at the time but that it would open up at 12. So we waited the 30 mins. I ordered the garlic parm wings and mozzarella sticks and my friend ordered the hatch eggrolls(I believe that's what it was like a southwest chicken eggroll). We ordered our food to go. After we received our food two of my friends saw a rat in the restaurant. I know a lot of places in the French quarter have rat issues but it was still nasty to see in the bar. Also they had a lot of water on the ground by the bar which was weird. Food was decent bar food but I wouldn't go back due to the rat sighting.

    3# of Crawdads for $26

    Dive bar with great bartenders. Small place that packs them in, particularly when the crawdads are brought in around 6 during the season. Hard to beat three pounds of crawdads for $26, and there were great, with a briny stock and garlic.

    Live crawfish boil.   So good!

    What a f'n gem of a discovery. We will be back multiple times before we love NOLA. Loved the crawfish boils and drinks special. It can use some AC! We were sweating balls but the time we left. Great 24 hr place to hang out and grab food! Amazing bartenders!

    I finally experienced a crawfish boil thanks to this place. Overall I thought it was good, but the crawfish had much smaller tails than other places I've seen. I'm giving this place 2 stars because the bathrooms had no soap and after eating crawfish out of the cooler that everyone was scooping out of, it really grossed me out.

    The crawfish was delicious. I don't know what spices he uses but a great recipe. Also they were playing a great playlist.

    When is the season of crawfish?

    They have the crawfish daily at 6. Prime crawfish season in Louisiana is generally Jan-July.

    My wife and I will be there for the Final Four. Will there be crawfish boil Sunday night?

    7 days a week at 6pm, it goes fast so get there on time or even a bit early.

    What days/times do they do crawfish boils in February?

    I was there on a Saturday and crawfish was ready to be served at 6:00pm

    Is this 21 and older or can my 20 year old daughter eat here too?

    They checked our IDs before they let us inside so i would say no unfortunately

    Do they serve crawfish all the time, right now?

    I would assume as long as they are in season, but boils are usually only once a day, I believe. I'd give them a call, they will gladly answer your question!

    Are they serving crawfish this week?

    Crawfish is BACK! Please call to inquire on days, times, and prices. Tentatively Wednesday's at 6 pm and Late Night on Saturday's at Midnight.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

We got there at 10:55am and there was a little line. When the doors opened, Oddly enough, there was a party of 5 sitting inside already?!?? Our bartender W took a while to come get our drink order and took longer to get, one of us never even got our beer. I pointed at someone's drink and told W I wanted that, the martini special. How is he gonna make me the drink minus the Baileys?!? I pointed to the drink I wanted, simple. My bf ordered a Abita, guess what 45 mins passed and he NEVER got his beer. We asked for the check and W said "oh your beer". Bro just give us the check and take off the beer. Worst service I've ever experienced. How you going to forget about someone's drink who's sitting right in front of you drink-less plus make a drink wrong. The carousel sits about 25 people and there's 2 bartenders?!? This isn't a club where drinks are getting shouted out. The only thing they have going for them is the rotating carousel bar if the SD one didn't close, I'd say pass and go to that one instead. One and done for me. Good luck if you get W as your bartender! And sir, no I'm not coming back after the game for you to make it right, make it right the first time!

    The final stop on our ghost tour…read more This bar has truly legendary status when it comes to bars in the French Quarter. This building predates the United States, some saying it being built in the early 1770s. Some say it's the oldest bar in America but that's more legend than based on historical fact. This bar probably has the coolest story on the ghost tours as Jean Lafitte was a true character in New Orleans lore dating back to the 1700s. As far as what it's like today, you walk in and it's dark and eerie and is mostly illuminated by candlelight. This is a full service bar with both a pretty good sized bar area and also a section with tabletops and tables for patrons to enjoy along with countertops outside the bar for those who want to enjoy their drinks outside. Also in the back of this bar is a piano area where a piano player plays live music for the patrons multiple times a week in the evenings. As far as drinks go this place is definitely a tourist attraction and the drink prices do reflect that. They are famous for their "purple drink" and their "hurricanes". I ended up just having another local beer and I was just about tapped out on drinks by the end of this ghost tour. Overall this place is pretty awesome, especially if you take the time to learn the backstory and lore of this bar-some say it's haunted. A true must-visit.

    NOLA is my second home, so I forget that even though I've frequented so many places I haven't…read morereviewed them. Case in point - Lafitte's. I've been coming here for years. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop was built in the 1770's. Dubbed the oldest bar in New Orleans, the building is said to be haunted by the ghost of Pirate Jean Lafitte. Employees & patrons claim to see his glowing red eyes in the fireplace. The dimly lit bar is illuminated by candlelight, lanterns, & a fireplace, which add to the mysterious ambience. If you are afraid of ghosts then you can enjoy your drink in the courtyard. Famous for their Purple Drank (aka VooDoo Daiquiri) and potent Hurricanes, which come in a plastic keepsake cup, it's a lively place to enjoy a libation. The bartenders are friendly and the prices are reasonable. My brothers and I stopped by during Southern Decadence. They had the Purple Drank & a Hurricane. I got a vodka soda. The DJ was fantastic, and people were dancing in the street cuz that's how they do it in the Big Easy.

Getting here right after they opened for the evening, before the live jazz started, we were able to chat with the staff (which we love to do) and they were very engaging and chatty. I also noticed they do a proper absinth service here and they offered one of the largest Absinth menus I've ever seen, so I had to try something interesting and different and went with the Texas made Opal Absinthe. Before selecting it, I asked the young lady who was handling the bar and she gave me her description, which I have to say was spot-on to what I ended up drinking. Another drink we got was great as well, and made with fresh juices. The vibe and venue is great here... I love jazz and I would love to return sometime to listen to the live jazz while enjoying their amazing adult beverages!
