There are no words for this establishment. Tonight was my first time back since the year 2000. And it is still an amazing neighborhood bar.
SUPER friendly crowd and staff. Great sense of humor and comaradery to this humble stranger all around.
When Gavin is behind the bar, you’re going to have a great night. If you’re in NOLA, stop here for a drink.
The second coldest fireball in town. Great outdoor sitting area—vibe weird on my one side? Go to the other! Good prices. Ice cold beer. Pool table. TouchTunes.
Super Friendly Service! No really, I was waddling by & needed a cold beer. Got that and a shot of Patron. Nice pour
Heavy pours and good vibes. Great place for darts or pool.
Found it by accident and came back a few times after that. Real nice atmosphere and service. It is really a friendly place :)
The Friendly Bar is a really great New Orleans dive bar, with great service and good drinks. I do not believe they serve any food other than chips and such but it is a great spot to have a few beers or cocktails. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are very reasonable. More locals and repeat customers but there are also a fair amount of tourists as well. Truly a friendly bar.
