Le Bon Temps Roule

This was my fav place we found in NOLA! Tried it cause of the reviews and man... soo glad we did!! They are open 24 hours which is amazing in itself. Our bartender was sooo nice and funny!! We got the spinach dip and both got burgers. We BOTH felt like they were the best burgers we've EVER had!!! Wow!!!!!!!!! I had the pimento cheese and my friend had the black and bleu. Soooo good!!! They do a football pool every week where you can win $$. Fun to see such a local following. LOVED this place! We wished we found it the first night so we could have came back again!

I go to Le Bon Temps often and they have some good music. They also have FREE oysters on Fridays but they go quick so you need to get there early! They have a kitchen that serves food and they have some good burgers here. The bar is divided into 2 main areas with the front being full of pool tables and the back where the bands play. This is usually a really fun bar to watch music until the point that it gets too crowded, which is way too often, but you always have the front area of the bar to escape to.The back area, where the bands play, can just get miserably crowded especially on Thursday nights when bands like the Soul Rebels play (it also is a bad "tradition" that the Soul Rebels NEVER start on time so it is like 12:30 or 1am before they start usually so if you have to work the next day that really is a challenge). There are also some people that take their pool games WAY too seriously in here and I've seen a few fights break out over a stupid game so don't get in those folks way. Parking can sometimes be a bit of a challenge but if you get far enough away you can always find a spot.They usually have pretty quick bar service and I usually prefer the front bar when there is music as it is quicker to get served than fighting the often formidable crowd in the back. There is always an interesting crowd here and there is a special plaque on the bar involving a historical person that I will let you discover yourself (maybe further down in this review even). There always seems to be something going on here when it seems nothing else is anywhere else in the area. Overall this is one of the best classic dive bars and music venues in the entire New Orleans area.FYI: This is yet another of the bars that claims the notoriety of having had Lee Harvey Oswald as a frequent customer. You can go to YouTube and search for NOLA Gent to see my video on Le Bon Temps Roule!

One of my favorite dive bars in Nawlins. Open 24 hours!!Very diverse crowd, all ages, all types. Super chill if you're chill.Currently home to the infamous Soul Rebels Band on Thursdays when they're not on the road.Back bar ( where the small stage is) opens up late when there is a gig.Great selection of beers and spirits at very fair prices. Pool tables; Jukebox, kitschy decor.The place defines "the dive bar" in a city with great dive bars.Love the place

Had a day date with myself and was uptown already when suddenly it was lunchtime. (I eat late, the kitchen opens at 4pm.) I got the bleu cheese and bacon burger for a very reasonable price. Bartender was friendly, as all the patrons and even got to pet a dog, lol. One of those spots that remains the same despite all the changes that occur in New Orleans, and I like that.

We just happened upon this place while on a walk. It looked pretty cool on the outside, was nice and divey inside, with that slight smell of last night's spilled beer wafting about. It's an older building with lots of historic charm, a very energetic but laid back vibe from the bartenders, and a nice beer selection. They also have a cigarette machine, something I haven't seen in quite a while. Not busy in the afternoon, but I was told it gets very busy at night. No surprise.

I am a big fan, very laid-back atmosphere. The staff is friendly bartenders are attentive. It's one of the go to places for me to relax and play pool with friends. very diverse crowd never had a problem I recommend it highly.

We came to see The New Cahoots play here during Nolaxnola and they were awesome! We also had some delicious wings and beers. The bartender was super nice and we played a game of pool. I really like this place! Check out my full review on Youtube: How to live like a local in New Orleans Parks Bowman Haunted House - Halloween Ghost Music Art Food

Outstanding bar. Food is pretty good - you might feel a little sketchy trying it but don't worry, its good. Drinks are solid and service is amazing considering how busy this place can get and the drunks they deal with. Top class bartenders, always watching for customers and taking care of you.Now, if you come to this fine estalishment, then you know of their live music. If leave New Orleans without seeing Soul Rebels, you really didn't come to New Orleans. The area they play music is separate from the main bar. They do have a bar in the music area as well. The music area can get packed but I never felt crammed in. Highly recommend.

It's a great neighborhood bar with excellent music. Bartenders are generally fast and attentive. Shows seldom start on time, but are worth waiting for!

Definitely should have read into the other dive bar reviews. We probably went too early to experience a good time but would need to be a little more local/earthy/eclectic to enjoy this place.
