Cajun Mike's Pub & Grub

Casual local bar, good service, plenty of tvs if you are in to watching sports. Good sandwiches and other fried bar foods. Nothing fancy, nice cold drinks not far from the French Quarter.

It's probably one of the divier (is that a word? Heh...) dive bars I've hit in NOLA. Recommended by our hotel bartender, he did warn it's a really small, no-nonsense, no frills place. "But it's a good chill place, and the drinks are very affordable." He also mentioned going there after his shift (which was in a few minutes) so Hubbers, Big Bro and I decided to follow for a nightcap. And he's right: they truly are a small dive bar. Nothing showy or amazing, it really is just a bar. And like most bars I've been to in NOLA, it does have its own personality as well as a following. It was somewhat full for a midweek random night. We each had a drink and boy, are they generous with the liquor!(I went for a hurricane.) I'll admit I'd already had a couple before walking through here, but this last drink truly did me in. I may have to make a mental note to start here first should I do a pub crawl. Definitely need to put this place on that radar.

Walked in because of the reviews Walked out because of the smell. Small dive bar Bartender seemed uninterested just said order when ready and walked awayPlace looks dingy Maybe if you're drunk at 2am this seems like a good choice lol

All the other places I went to for jambalaya were busy as fuck I guess because it was Valentine's Day, but this place was amazing. The jambalaya I had was filling it came in a small Styrofoam cup, though, which was kind of Janky it tasted good had a little bit more rice than I would like, but the flavor was amazing. I also got the gator sausage soup, which was good. I ended up giving it to a homeless person though because the jambalaya was enough for me. Everything else is too busy. Come by a Cajun Mikes and you can get a good meal and a stiff drink.

Decent dive. Food was pretty quick and the beer was cold.You won't write home to friends or family about the quality of the food, but if you need a quick place to dip out Mikes can be the spot.

Came to NOLA for an extended fun birthday weekend. We couldn't find this place, drove around the block to find out that it literally was behind us when we parked! Nathan was our bartender. Great service! Mac made our food. OMG...Soooo good! The seasoning on the sweet potato fries was so good that I didn't put any ketchup on them. The sample with poutin balls, jalepeño poppers, hot wings, and mozzarella sticks. We ended with the alligator poboy. Again, it's so flavorful! This is a small, dark bar. It's cozy and not pretentious at all. Just what our weary selves needed. Relax, eat, drink, and chat with folks at the bar.Definitely check it out.

So I wasn't expecting much from this place coz it was a bar. I'm glad I was proven wrong coz the sandwiches we had ordered were delicious. I got the alligator sausage po' boy and my hubby got the cochon de lait po' boy. The surprise was the cochon coz it was something new and different. I also enjoyed the alligator sausage coz it was flavorful and not dry.Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was typical of any dive bar. The place wasn't packed yet coz we were there early so it was still clean. Overall, a great find!

This is a sports dive bar that serves the best dive bar food I've ever had. I ordered the gator po boy and fries and it was pretty damn good. Took a while to come out but worth the wait. People in here know their football. Go Raiders.

Great dive bar! Share shots with the tender! Yuengling! Great po boys. Down to earth locals. Love the place!

I use to grab lunch here before Covid and the gator poboy use to be pretty good. Well I went today and it was just ok. Serving I guess was good for the price. It's a gator poboy dressed with fries for less than $15. But the gator sausage was so thin, I was just eating bread. The fries are still pretty good. My biggest complaint was there were literally 3 people at the bar when I walked in and the bartender didn't bother to give a head nod or acknowledge me at all until he came to ask what I needed. That's unusual for New Orleans. And the place really smelled funky so it made me nervous to eat. Like outside back door funky.
