Nate BeattyJuly 6, 2015Equally good for a beer with a friend, a night of drinks with the whole crew, or a long conversation with a date, this New Orleans style bar serves up quality drinks and top notch food at good prices
NicoleJune 9, 2015The atmosphere here is so great! Great place that is a lot bigger than it looks from outside. Get beer or wine from April the bartender and enjoy actually being able to hear/talk to people.
Rachel IvyNovember 22, 2015The sweet potato fries were so good, they put baking spices on it! Popcorn shrimp had a great crunch and the blue cheese burger was solid. Great happy hour, use the tokens during hh though!
Ira BAugust 2, 2015This is probably my favorite date spot. If it's a nice day sit in the outdoor section in the back. It's quiet enough for a conversation and nice enough to take someone special.
RyApril 13, 2014It's hard to find a bar/restaurant in NYC where you can have a personal convo without other people hearing... this is one of those bars. Also, Mac and cheeeeese!!
Zach DrouinAugust 10, 2014Great patio in the back. Quality drinks, but relatively limited selection. Atmosphere is perfect. Could be a great date spot...for a kinda dive-y bar.
- Rachel IvyNovember 22, 2015Happy hour 2-for-1 is pretty great, make sure you use the tokens during happy hour otherwise you'll have to wait till next happy hour. LOVE the back garden&fountain!
Denis SosnovtsevMay 21, 2014There's outdoor seating in the front and the back! Also, they'll make you an Irish coffee if you go next door to the Open Pantry and get the coffee.
Happy hour until 8pm, buy one get one drafts (good microbrews), wells and wines. And if you don't want 2 drinks, you can bring your token back some other time! Oh, and theres nice courtyard seating.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 23, 2012Chill, fun and dark space to enjoy 2-4-1 drinks during happy hour and yummy Cajun bar food – get the fried pickles, dirt fries and gators on horseback.
Ina LiOctober 31, 2015Chill vibes, good draughts, friendly service, not to laud, romantic courtyard. Perfectly for a relaxing, fun night.
Manny VAugust 25, 20122 for 1 happy hour till 8 PM. Must try the plantaintions. Plantains filled with braised beef and onion straws. Damn good draft beer and wings too! Great patio.- Max WendkosJuly 4, 2015The chicken sandwich was just meh, but the patio out back is really nice and the sweet potato fries were some of the best I've had.
TiffanyNovember 11, 2015BOGO happy hour until 8pm every day for draft and bottle beer selections. Try any of the Abita beers and get a side of dirt fries!
SaleemMarch 1, 2015Nice atmosphere, solid bar. Enjoy the garden space in the back if possible. Good happy hour til 8, too.
Only fun if you can sit in the back garden (especially great on rainy days). Slightly upscale pub food and craft beer selection is fairly stellar!
HenaliDecember 23, 2011cute place! there are booths where u can have private seating and there's a garden in the back with fountain and everything :) very cute touch for a bar
sam kahnAugust 26, 2015Backyard is crowded at happy hour. Beer is buy on get one free but you can't double fist and you can't get one for a buddy free. Pretty douchy vibe.
Party EarthApril 16, 2012“Ninth Ward believes in the southern tradition of stiff cocktails – try the Sazerac for a refreshing sip of the Old South.” More at
Kristin CraigApril 15, 20132-4-1 happy hour, wells and delicious craft beers! Try the ninth ward pale ale in the mini garden out back, so peaceful
MartinJune 9, 2015Great atmosphere and booths with curtains are available. Check out the back garden as well
Cozy neighborhood spot. Extra points for a fireplace and roomy booths, plus decent beer selection.
Charley ToddJuly 29, 2015Grab insomnia cookies then head to the back for happy hour, awesome outdoor space
Edward SeborAugust 24, 2015New Orleans themed bar in the EV. 2 for one until 8 during happy hour. Greatest asset is the backyard
Jonathan L.May 8, 2014Strawberry Abita is so unique and delicious. If it's available for the season, don't leave without trying it.- DoubleDeuceNovember 15, 2015Everyone comes here their first time for the 2 for 1 happy hour prices. That could be you too!
Gigi AgiusJanuary 30, 2015Great happy hour! Though I always forget to bring my spare tokens back. All day happy hour on Sunday
Greg AvolaSeptember 14, 2013Small menu, but great atmosphere in the back of the bar. It's like the taste of New Orleans in the East Village.
Samuel GozlanMarch 14, 2013Nice bar with good selection of beers. Food is decent and not expensive! $9.50 for a chicken sandwich or an avocado salad. The place is very lightly lit, with booth for some privacy.
Andrew WiebeOctober 21, 2015Buy one get one happy hour until 8 pm. Awesome backyard, private booths if you want them.
MarinaDecember 2, 2014Good happy hour spot for big groups. The courtyard in the back is nice and chill.
Gordon MeiJune 11, 2014Cute courtyard in the back complete with a fountain and ivy lining the walls. In the winter, avoid the tables with overhead heaters.
Grab a seat in the outdoor garden on a warm weekend night and get drunk on Laura Palmers!
Jess HueyNovember 7, 2015Come for happy hour (BOGO) with friends and get a booth,and get the Abrita Amber!
ReevesNovember 8, 2014Favorite HH place! HH 4-8pm 2for 1 drinks. Try the shrimp and sweet potato fries
TingDecember 7, 2015Two for one drinks until 8pm. Free drink tickets must be cashed in during happy hour.
Jenn SchwartzSeptember 13, 2015BOGO happy hour + chill garden + Southern comfort food = amazing date spot.
Aditya BasuOctober 12, 2014Good outdoor seating. And Abita beers. The outdoor seating is closed early for the neighbors though.
Patrick BaskinSeptember 18, 2014Great Abita beer selection, cool, cozy atmosphere very N'awlins feel
Puu KampolratanaOctober 23, 2014So curious about this place that I have to walk in. Love the gothic chairs.
The kabobs/skewers and plantaintions are the best apps as meal. Try for yourself and don't share.
BOGO Beers till 8 in your pick of an airy garden or dark, nook-filled interior.
My favorite bar in NYC. It's too bad they will be shutting down in two weeks.
Spencer VairoOctober 26, 2014Good for group gatherings, pretty loud music but fountain in the back is a pretty cool feature.
“Eric” 🐈⬛June 15, 2014Bar's three bathrooms are labeled sex, drugs, and rock & roll. I like these genders.
Nina YiamsamathaMarch 4, 2012Order an Abita + a french dip and you're ready to go. Sit on the back patio if you can.
