Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant

Lucy's is a great spot for all ages! I've gone and posted up at the bar and had great food, drinks and conversation (the nachos are sooo good!) and I've also brought my family and little nephew here and they are obsessed! The service is always wonderful and the food is bar food but elevated! The quality and flavors are incredible - and you can't forget about the delicious drinks!

Cute restaurant inside. It was raining out when we arrived and they were very accommodating. We started with queso and chips as an appetizer that was really good case it was spicy, but homemade chips were thin, crunchy and flavored.I didn't want anything too messy so I ordered a cob salad. Really disappointed with the salad liked the grilled chicken breast had a lot of flavor. Just thought this serving size was a little on the smaller side for what I was paying for. My son liked his grilled chicken sandwich. The fries are on point. They were crispy and flavorful and came out hot. I got unsweet iced tea and it was very bland. Felt like it hadn't brewed very long. But the most disappointing thing was dessert. I got the keylime mousse and I like the tartness of the Keylime. This definitely did not have that I felt like the whipped cream broke and the Keylime itself tasted like mayonnaise. There was a salt mixture on top, but it didn't add anything. I just felt like somebody put the wrong mousse in the glass. Our waitress was a little aloof. I had to look for her when I needed a refill. And if you know me, you know, I don't like blasting restaurants, but this one kind of deserved it small portion of the salad and of course the horrible dessert . They did take the dessert off my bill.

Solid place! They had a great selection of drinks and the atmosphere is so fun. Do patio if you can, it really feels like you're at a backyard barbecue in the best way.Food is decent, small selection, and a bit heavy . Definitely a place I would go again, especially if they were doing some sort of fun event. And don't miss that scorpion shot!

I stumbled upon Lucy's via Yelp and it was a great experience. I stopped by for a late lunch while touring New Orleans and surprise/not there were a lot of patrons getting their drink on.I settled in at the bar, ordering lunch and their El Jefe tequila-themed cocktail.I ordered the grilled shrimp salad, which was more than satisfying with a good amount of shrimp. More importantly, my cocktail was a great strong pour. Alas, I could have had another cocktail or two and called it a day but I had big plans for that evening.There are two sections to Lucy's. The main area has a huge bar with TVs and table seating, and a smaller area is most likely used when they are busy.Good food, service, and drinks equal an easy 4-star review.

When I first moved to New Orleans, this is the place that me and my Now husband used to frequent as it's right around the corner. They have great Po Boy shrimp sandwiches and great chicken tacos. They just renovated and opened the restaurant to a whole other side, which was a different building next-door. They have an amazing outdoor area and it looks, new and fresh and clean. The bartender was so helpful that she allowed me to use her phone charger when my cell phone battery was low.

Tried Lucy's for the 1st time & I'm from the city..it just always looked like a spot for tourists..walked inside and the smell was a turn off..it smelled very musty soon as you walked in the door near the bar, granted the restaurant was clean..the hostesses was very friendly..ordered queso & 2 drinks..the queso was good af! Now the chips were a little too salty..Zombie Hurricane & Stolen Coconut were our 1st drinks..Zombie Hurricane tasted like a rum punch and the Stolen Coconut was super milky..I love Coconut flavored things but this was too strong with the coconut..our waitress asked the owner or manager if she could change it out & he gave the ok..that was actually cool off him..my next drink was a Bull Shark..then I ordered the cheeseburger & she ordered the seafood basket..the shrimp were so good! Like yea the shrimp was pressure..the fish taste too fishy, the fries were just frozen fries with seasoning on them..my burger wasn't that good..if yall know I LOVE a good burger..my burger was just cooked no salt, no pepper or no seasoning..I'm not a fan of the food but honestly if you want a good drink this the place!

Great dinner! This place is so much fun and I thought the food was great! Fun beach atmosphere. Not a quiet place but everyone was smiling. Our server was nice and brought out food very quickly we started out with a zombie hurricane. It am was really good, not too strong but strong enough a great fruity rum flavor. Then we got an excellent queso. The chips were crisp and salty, very fresh. The queso was well seasoned and cheesy. Nice and hot. My daughter ordered chicken tacos. They were excellent. They had chicken, onions, cilantro, pico and avocado they were really good not too spicy but had a nice kick. I ordered a chicken quesadilla. It came with guacamole, lettuce, pico, and sour cream. The chicken was spiced really nicely not too hot, but a really good balance. An excellent meal and pricing was not too extraordinary.

After dinner and drinks at a lounge, we headed back to Lucy's to celebrate my birthday. We stayed at the Renaissance across the street making this the perfect spot to go out and not worry about having to take an Uber/Lyft or drive back.The food is so-so. The drinks, people and party atmosphere are really the highlights here. The scene is a mix of locals, tourists and college kids. Game days, along with Friday and Saturday nights tend to be the busiest. The first floor is mainly the bar/restaurant/giftshop and the second floor is called the Attic. The Attic is a separate space which can be rented out for private events. When not used for events, the Attic is the dance section on the second floor with DJ and bar on select nights (Friday and Saturday). The music was good and depending on the themed drink you order, you can take the props that come with them (i.e. inflatable flamingos and shark).Recent years they've added the balcony which gets decent views overlooking Tchoupitoulas and Girod streets. I'm sure it's a popular spot to view the Mardi Gras parade. If you're in the Warehouse District, don't miss Lucy's.
