Phoenix Bar

Everyone was very nice ambiance typical bar service great. I was there on Halloween and service was fast

Great neighborhood dive bar, mostly leather, and all ages( on night I went).Heard on Halloween they throw beads and some are marked so you can win a Halloweenie(lol)

I will never walk back in there as a patron of the bar, or the store. We went to Gay Pride here this past June. My 73 year old husband has a heart condition. It was hot and he needed to sit. He sat at a barstool at the door where a bouncer would sit. I went in to get a drink and had a coozy on my cup. I ordered, and the bartender ( not a regular bartender, but extra help for Pride) chewed me out for handing him a cup with a coozy. Sorry dude, make it in your cup and I'll pour it in. Don't cuss me out about my grimy germ filled filthy oozy coozy. His exact words. While I return outside, husband is not in the stool. With a health condition, I kind of freak, but he called me from a distance. The police had him under a tree. Another extra help of the day saw someone show him their ID ( he was sitting where a bouncer would IF they had one.) This extra day worker freaked out, and accused him of checking ID's. Summoned the police and had a man with a heart condition being held under the tree. They ordered us to leave. I have bought a lot of stuff in that store over the years. I bought a lot of cocktails in that bar. I will never spend another dime in this place, and I'd urge anyone to do the same.All he wanted to do was enjoy himself before his scheduled surgery, and the Phoenix "employees" ruined that .

This was one of our last nightlife stops for Southern Decadence. For their Sunday night party, they had local vendors, a grill, and a Nasty Pig sale. Inside the bar, there was a little shop, but it was very well stocked. You can find everything from lube, gear, etc. This was my first time at the Phoenix, which I think is equivalent to The Eagle in other major cities. I loved how there was a bar window outside where you could order drinks without having to go inside. I am not sure if the outside seating was temporary for Decadence but it was convenient.I also enjoyed the upstairs for a bit, but spent most of my time in the main bar. They do have a Touch Tunes which were taking credits/requests but not playing the songs. Highly recommend this place if you're into bars that are heavily kink or gear positive.

After many years of visiting New Orleans and enjoying Phoenix Bar, we were extremely disappointed when we visited the bar in October 2023. The exact date was the night of the Krewe of Boo parade. True, we entered the bar with outside cocktails. However, we clearly intended to order drinks as, the moment we finished our cocktails, we sat down at the bar. Not only did the bartenders ignore us, but they also waited on several other patrons and never even bothered to ask us if we wanted anything to drink. This was truly despicable service. And this isn't personal. We don't know anyone in New Orleans. We weren't wearing offensive clothing. We don't understand why this happened. We have every intention of returning to New Orleans. Phoenix Bar? Maybe not.

Good drinks, good looking men and a friendly staff. We were there Omer Southern Decedents weekend. It was packed! Talked and met a lot of nice men from all over the country. Both door men were terrific. Making sure that all patrons were safe. A twink tried to slip the door man $20 to get upstairs without waiting in line. It did not work. It told the guy to take it back or he was going to drop in on the ground. All types of men.

As a gay woman that came inside with a few queer friends, we were so unwelcome. We came with a good attitude and were ready to enjoy our time, but were met with glares and snide comments from workers. I love gay bars but as a lesbian, there are rarely places we're welcome-- this is one. So much for community I guess...

Bring cash, tip well. Downstairs, upstairs, sidewalk...always a fun time Great "supply" shop also

If you're a dirty pig, this is the place for you! Local dive bar for gay pig boys. BJ's in the bathroom

The staff seems to be known for being rude to anyone who is from out of town but if you're darker skinned or have an accent you will be straight up ignored here
