Rawhide 2010

Always a very productive spot for whatever your fetish. Met all types here and never disappointed.

Rawhide 2010 felt like your average dark and dingy gay bar. The bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bartender was nice and attentive. However, some of the off-the-clock staff members seemed to have had a bit too much to drink themselves. Karaoke was happening, but only when the Wi-Fi cooperated, which was a bit hit or miss. Overall, there wasn't anything particularly special about this place.

Let me start by saying this place discriminates against you if you are anything other than a gay male. The bar tender was incredibly rude. He made us wait a ridiculously long while he took several shots with his buddies. Let me mention that we were the only other people in the whole bar. We were charged about $40 for two small glasses of bottom shelf whiskey... then when he gave us the bill, he had the nerve to say that the water was on the house... the only good thing about it was the music that was playing. And that's not saying much. I would recommend just walking past the place. I wouldn't even give it one star. BTWSome of the other reviews on this place have mentioned that because they were a woman, they were told that they could not come in.

My fiancée and I walked into this bar around 1am on a Friday night on the way back to our hotel. We had just gotten engaged the night before and the Temptations were singing "My Girl" on the jukebox, so we figured it was a good enough omen to stop in for one last drink before heading in. We were wrong. Upon entering, I first noticed the shirtless bartender pouring and drinking multiple shots with three patrons, who I assume were friends based on the way they were interacting. We sat on the opposite side of the bar for about 15 minutes before the bartender even acknowledged that we were there. Bear in mind that the aforementioned patrons were the only other people in the establishment. A few minutes later, he walked over and took our order. We specifically asked two doubles of bottom shelf whiskey and a cup of water. Upon returning, we were given our whiskey...definitely not double shots...and our bill for $33.50. We had just paid $24 for top shelf whiskey at a bar around the corner, so this made zero sense to us. We reluctantly paid our tab when the bartender slammed a cup of water in from of us and snickered, "The water is on the house."Our impression was that we were being treated differently because we were a straight couple in a gay bar. Instead of being grateful for patronage, the bartender was rude and acted as if he would rather not have our business due to our aforementioned sexual preference. I wish he would have just been honest and told us that we were not welcome instead of overcharging us for cheap whiskey and treating us as if we were not people for whom he could be bothered with doing even the simplest part of his job.If I could give this dingy dump, an aspect of the bar that really doesn't bother us...but make no mistake, the place is disgusting, fewer than one star, I would. I would recommend walking right past this place and a block up to the Voodoo Lounge where customers are treated with respect regardless of who they choose to sleep with.

My fiancé and I had a fun time here a couple times for Southern Decadence 2023. But both of us had our credit cards compromised. For him it occurred while there on the trip. For me it occurred 1 days after our return. Fortunately, the banks caught the fraud for both of us. Beware if you go here and pay cash.

My hot sweaty ass dragged in after a walk to and from the Bywater in pursuit of a friend I did not meet (but that was fine--I got to look at the awesome houses along the way and note the herbs growing in strange and exotic locations throughout the Marigny and much of the Bywater). I stumbled in and told the bartender I needed something fruity, light, and cold. He could've stuck a straw in me but I said "light and cold," as well. He asked me if I liked watermelon. I said yes. If I liked cucumber. I said yes. And whatever he made did the job. I could've passed out and died, but he restored by liquor levels and saved me. Never run out of booze in the French Quarter, darling--that's a recipe for disaster.

Formerly, Rawhide.. the Silver Fox was great until it wasn't - Our first stop here was great. The vibe and decor are awesome with dive elements. The first visit we had a bartender (long hair, wrestling headband) who was a highlight and very fun, he made us want to return later.Our repeat visit was soured by a different bartender (shorter guy) who had an attitude when asked simple questions. Every time I went up to get a drink I felt like I was somehow inconveniencing him at his own job. I wasn't the only one to have less than stellar service from him so someone in our party joked (among ourselves) that the service wasn't great. I guess he heard us even though we weren't addressing him.. we continued to order drinks all night and have fun because we understand things sometimes take time to make or whatever and it wasn't a huge deal to us. He would go on to make passing comments as he would walk by us just sitting and talking to one another. Rude, abrasive and quite frankly inappropriate. You're not always going to like your customers for one reason or another but we were completely fine, playing pool, having a good time. Do not come here if you want certain bartenders to make snide comments under their breath. He eventually got very angry and irrational with us, then threatened police as his coworker looked on in at him in confusion (clearly he does this a lot).. he wanted a confrontation and unfortunately it happened with our group. We decided to leave because who wants threats and hostility. I suggest better hires, some are above and beyond and others clearly are insecure and can't take a joke.If you want bartenders here to verbally berate you and threaten police because of jokes or if you also want them to wildly overcharge your card out of pettiness as well than stop on by. I suggest staying away until a new hire is addressed.

We're middle-aged & not high maintenance. We have wonderful/fun memories of Rawhide when there was actual gay men patronizing it. What ever ownership/management did to destroy their business has worked. Was in town from 07/12 thru 07/16.Walked in Friday night at 12:30; there was two people and the bartender was outside on his phone? We walked out.Walked in Saturday night at 12:00 and same scenario.Walked in Monday at 4:00pm and 6:00pm and no customers.However not slammed, all other "gay" bars we went to had descent crowds for the off season...

My Friend and I were grabbing drinks here tonight and were absolutely pleased with the atmosphere and experience until a woman started loudly starts arguing with a gay couple in the bar going as far as repeatedly trying emasculate one man and encourage the other to leave him . Tl;dr, the bottom couldn't shoot pool well and the top was ready to go home. Nothing unusual for 3AM in NOLA. Prior to this, the woman was loudly introducing a male friend to everyone as a regular and a local who's well known in the "gayberhood"-- which I thought was cute until this man proceeded to sexually harass me and the others who I invited for drinks at what I originally considered a safe environment for myself and others in the lgbtq community. The drunk woman indignantly introduced herself as "McKayla-- you don't need anything else. Call corporate and tell them it's McKayla from corporate bitch." She repeated this to me and the couple of men she clearly wanted to intimidate into leaving. Me and other guests witnessed her argue with a these men about how she's more entitled to be in the establishment than they would ever be. She was yelling this at two gay men loudly in front of at least 5 patrons. And I have no idea, She may be gay herself, but she was creating a hostile environment for these men anyone close enough to hear her. As a local business owner and someone who understands how these things are perceived by our tight knit community here in NOLA, I implore you to investigate this issue. After taking a look at some of the other reviews posted for your establishment-- it's clear the guests visiting your bar don't feel safe or welcome.Tonight I witnessed a clearly intoxicated woman who I originally assumed was a regular patron, flagrantly identify herself as a member of the corporate team for this place. I'd assume she's inexperienced or perhaps had a long night on the town. Which explains the industry standard to restrict employees from drinking off the clock at any establishments they represent. Regardless of the reason, I can assure you if "McKayla-- you don't need anything else. Call corporate and tell them it's McKayla from corporate bitch" represents the values of this bar it isn't a place I will return to or could possibly reccomend to anyone. The Bartenders were polite all night and even apologized for the Woman's Behavior. It was clear she felt she was correctly handling the situation in line with what her superiors would allow. She named a few of them but I didn't catch the names. I actually have a short video of her arguing with the bartender pleading with the woman to remove herself from the situation if needed, but I can assure you the cameras on site will reflect this incident.

We walked into this bar because we wanted to grab a drink before heading back to the hotel. The bartender was extra friendly. He was very attentive and accommodating to me and my girlfriend. The vibe here is incredible. Great music on the speakers. Very friendly staff. We didn't even realize it was a gay bar and didn't once feel out of place or discriminated against. I visit New Orleans usually once or twice a year and this bar will be a must visit every time. Excellent place.
