A nice neighborhood, no frills bar and a beautiful, large back patio. Great bar food and a fun trivia on Tuesday nights.
Yes it's a dive, but full of local characters. They play sports games on TVs. Get a pitcher (4 wooden tokens, each worth a beer in a plastic cup) and hang out front, watching the streetcar go by.

This bar is a popular neighborhood place with regular live music. It's kinda a grungy local spot with cheap beer.

The bar in downstairs is The Yat Club - and open-air, laid back bar right on the water where you can order some seafood to go with your drinks. A great place to be when the weather's warm.

A favorite with locals. It's expanded over the years without losing its charm. It's got a beautiful, lush garden, great live music and wonderful food and drinks. A special place to be after dark.

Feel like you've gone back 100 years in this beautiful bar. Cocktails are mixed to perfection. Cigars are everywhere. Go see the little Mardi Gras museum upstairs.

As a real English person, I'd say this is one of the most authentic English pub's I've seen in the south. Go over to cute Algiers Point as a foot passenger on the ferry and get a pint and some crisps.

An amazing bar restored to its 1940s style inside the historic Roosevelt Hotel. Get one of their legendary drinks - The Sazerac, or Huey P. Long's favorite - a Ramos Gin Fizz.

A cute little old bar with locals and colorful characters. The cheapest drinks in the quarter - tucked away from the Bourbon madness.

A great brewery and beer garden right in the neighborhood. Good brews, friendly crowd. If a food truck isn't there, MoPho is 'round the corner. They've been showing movies here on Wednesday nights lately.

While technically not a brewery, this place is a little bit of everything. Learn about German Gulf cost culture all while sipping on some authentic Germanic beer and munching on flammkuchen and brats.

I rent from these guys all the time. They can pick you up if you give them a call, or it's an easy streetcar ride away. There's a lot to see in the local area if you do choose to rent a car.
