Low prices, great happy hour and the best staff [bartenders around] The Staff wants to know your name and invite you back. Great place to come hang out! Put a "Dollar on the wall"

Bartendar was EXTREMELY RUDE! We ordered a drink and she looked at us stupid and acted like she wasn't the bartendar. Then went and hugged her friends instead of giving us service. I wouldnt even give it one star if possible.

The Red Barn Pub is an excellent dive bar. Truthfully, it is a dive bar with extras not normally seen in a true dive.The things that make this a dive are:1. The building - Located in what looks like a run down shack, the building feels as if it may collapse when you head to the bathroom. I am not sure if it is the foundation, the floor, or the level of drinks consumed, but there seems to be a definite slope downward.2. The atmosphere - It is dark, smokey and decorated with odd stuff hanging from the ceiling (moonshine jugs, street signs, etc.). There is even an old cast iron stove in the corner near the couch.3. The couch - Normally I would consider this part of the atmosphere, but this couch is special. Most bars with couches use some sort of fake leather or other stain resistant material. Not this couch. It is cloth and comfy. I cant imagine what has soaked into it over the years, but I don't care, it is a couch in a bar. What's not to like?4. The food - Nothing says dive bar like free food. Every time I have been there has been a pot of something available to eat. I think it is usually jambalaya, but they may rotate dishes.5. The games - There is a ring toss game that fascinates me. I can spend hours trying to hook the damn ring onto the wall (Pro tip: swing it to the right or left in an arc. Don't try swinging it straight, or you'll miss).Now for the non dive bar items:1. The beer selection - There is a decent bottle beer selection, including Stella Artois. I don't feel bad drinking nice beer at this bar, which makes it feel a little less divey.2. The jukebox - This jukebox not only has Frank Sinatra, but it has Dr. John, Lil Wayne and even the Wild Tchoupitoulas. The regulars may have not liked me playing songs by all of those artists, but who cares? In summary, the Red Barn Pub is great. It does get fairly smokey or else it would be a five star dive.

I was first introduced to the Red Barn Pub by my good friend and fellow Yelper Heather H. and I must say I was skeptical pulling up here. I guess you could say that I wasn't a dive bar type of person. I really didn't know what I was missing.This bar is in beautiful Old Mandeville and seems sort of out of place. If you don't know Old Mandeville, it's filled with homes that cost more than most people will make in this lifetime, the lakefront and upscale restaurants. It's a little intimidating to say the least. The Red Barn Pub is like the accessible cool kid in a school full of preppy stuck ups.The bartenders are super friendly and generous while pouring your drinks. There is always a crockpot full of food here for you if you get hungry. Wait. What? A crockpot full of jambalaya or gumbo if you want to eat it? For free? Yes. You read that correctly. I know. Pretty damn awesome.There is a great jukebox that you can control via a free app with your smartphone. Of course the songs aren't free but being able to control the jukebox while at a table and put Lil Wayne on while some redneck is trying to play some country crap is beyond awesome.Park across the street in the big lot. Call me if you go, too. I want to come!

This is a place where nobody gives a rip. Like having my vodka/tonic and people watching. Warning: you will reek of smoke - bartenders are friendly as are the locals that get inebriated at the bar. It's a chill place that I don't mind coming alone.

Wanna get away from all the stuck up, uppity assholes that seem to populate most of the bars on the North Shore? Then I suggest you stop in the Red Barn. Ice cold beer, fantastic music selection on the juke box. And good natured, blue collar folks to shoot the shit with while you enjoy your drink. Having a good set of dart boards is an added bonus if that's your thing. Definitely my go to spot when I want to drink somewhere other than my patio.

I met up with an old military buddy who was in town for business. I've never been to the Red Barn but it was right around the corner from his B&B. We wandered in and we could immediately tell it was our kinda joint. The bartenders were friendly, prices were fair and the other patrons were laid back. A quiet place to catch up and enjoy a drink with nobody looking for a fight.

Absolutely best bar in Mandeville. You come to feed the sheep but realize it's not an actual barn. I was here for 3 mins and my phone got stolen, found it an hour later and it was fully charged. I give this bar a 9.1 for Mandeville.
