Old Arabi Bar

Great local bar, with fun special, events. Live their pop up cocktails and the close neighborhood feeling.

A True Hidden Gem ! I spent time there in 2014 while temporarily living in Arabi, although I'm sure not much has changed. The music is fabulous, and it's a hidden treasure of a dive pub.

Great Local Dive Bar, Music, Drink Specials, Karaoke Thursday's, Bands on Most Fridays & Major Sporting Events on the TV's! Come Out to OAB on the River and take a walk on the Mississippi River Levee. You Will Love

Things it is:a divea cool place to see a banda place to get two types of 40 Arpent beer on tapa place to get tamalesa cool local hangoutThings it isn't:an uppity hang outa smoke free bara place that you will probably want to spend a lot of timesmoke freea place with an extensive beer lista place with signage Old Arabi Bar is a straight up dive if ever there was one. I had a good time here watching a band that I had never heard of and enjoying a local beer. The tamales were exceptional and although there was no sign, you shouldn't be scared of this bar that is basically a hole in the middle of a neighborhood.

Great renovation of the neighborhood bar. The bar gets some great music. Drinks are good with a basic variety of options. A nice place to listen to music and meet friends. The small place is loud so don't expect to talk to anyone while you are there.

Not a trendy spot, just an awesome neighborhood bar. Misty and Matt are always friendly and make a great cocktail. The tamales are also delicious!

Jameson with a Worcestershire back is the best/worst thing that has ever been invented and was introduced to me at this spot. Thanks, Old Arabi Bar, I think.

Was out walking the levee on a Sunday afternoon and stopped in here for a pint and a shot. Straight up dive but some good beer on tap and friendly folks behind the bar. Great spot. I'll be back to check out some of the live music they have most every night.

An old bar that has changed hands many times has now found its rightful place in New Orleans entertainment via a live band almost every night with special events in classic New Orleans style so much as you don't need a reason to have a party except for the party itself. Good blues played on a regular basis by some well known local artists make for a fun outing. Take the trip to Old Arabi Bar and see for yourself!
