The Blue Flamingo Sports Bar & Grill

The fried fish and mac & cheese were extremely good! But the real surprise? The red beans. They tasted like an even better version of Popeyes, rich, creamy, nice kick, and full of flavor. The restaurant cooked everything for a birthday celebration, and I got to try the shrimp pasta, meatballs, wings, and red beans--all of it was so good!On top of that, the staff was beyond friendly and helpful, the music was on point, and the drinks were strong and affordable. The whole place gives that welcoming, family-gathering vibe--where you come for the food but stay for the vibes.If you want a laid-back, delicious, and fun neighborhood bar experience, Blue Flamingo is where it's at!

This is a very nice food spot and bar that gives a very homely atmosphere. The long island was tasty but i still felt it off of one drink , it cost 10 dollars. The fish plate was between 10 or 13 dollars and its was very delicious. The bar tender was very nice and explained everything to me. This is definitely a spot i will be going to every weekend.

Blue Flamingo feels like a best kept secret. A lifelong friend of mine invited me to try out Blue Flamingo's Taco Tuesday and I've been hooked ever since. Be warned: they only serve tacos on Tuesdays, and special occasions like when Cinco de Mayo falls on another day of the week.I've been countless times for tacos, but Steak Night is on Thursdays so try them out on Thursday too. The time I visited for Steak Night, I actually ended up getting a Seafood Pasta that was topped with Crab Cake.The service is good. The ambience/vibe is on point. This is where the old heads go to hang out, but it's not to the point where you're wishing for a younger crowd. All the regulars are a good time. Try it out and you might become a regular too.

The Blue Flamingo is a great neighborhood spot! I would say the classic "Bar Room". The drinks are a great price, the music is always right & the food is good as well. I still say they have the best Birria Tacos I've ever had, yes a bar is the best place I've had them. Tuesday is the only day they serve the tacos and you might want to get there early because it's a packed house! This is an awesome spot for New Orleans East, you don't have many places you can go. But here it always feels like home!

This is a hidden gem in the East. I love how it's a pretty cool environment without the rush of a young crowd. Atmosphere: The age group is definitely for the middle to upper adults. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks: The drinks are at amazing price points. I've had several Kentucky mules and woke up the next morning, without a headache. When I tell you the drinks are on point, the drinks were great! Food: I didn't get the Birria tacos, but they did look tasty. Music: Nothin but the jams! Whomever was in charge of the speakers had the place rolling. Will return in the future for a quick mid week visit.

Don't let the "East" detour you from trying this place esp on TaCo Tuesday some of the BeST tacos in da city!! Esp those surf and turf tacos! #SupportLocal

It's time for me to "share" this jewel. I don't wanna, but it's time. In gist, I've stopped in 3x in 10 days since stumbling across this neighborhood bar and restaurant. It's a BoB located on Hayne next door to Castnet, which is a fresh seafood and seafood platter staple in N.O. East. If you enjoy being around good people (5/5), a laid back atmosphere (5/5) and delicious food, this is the place for you! EVERYONE is friendly (staff and patrons alike), the food is tasty, you can dance, watch sports and play the machines. If you like "spirits", there's everything from Proper 12 to vodka "set ups". The margaritas are so good, there's a huge jug of it on the counter. If you enjoy good soul food or food specials, their daily specials (Taco Tuesday, Fish Fridays, Stuffed Bell Peppers on Sunday) and regular offerings are delightful. Fried or grilled fish - (5/5) Served with Mac n cheese, potato salad and green peas. Nice portion and served piping hot. Highly recommend. Stuffed Bell Pepper - (5/5) Absolutely THE BEST stuffed bell pepper I've ever had in a restaurant setting. Filled with ingredients Momma uses at home. A must try! Yakamein (3/5) - It's beef only. Very good flavor but the noodles weren't right. It's a Nola thing especially after a long night and very few places offer this after 7p. It wasn't a favorite. Gumbo (3/5) - Different stroke for different folks. Not my roux of choice (tomato like) but it has all the other fixings I like (shrimp, okra, sausage, etc) and it was recommended by another patron on my first visit. Taco plates (4/5) - consists of three tacos, a side of corn, taco sauce, sour cream and pico. I tried three types: chicken and shrimp (5/5) beef/birria (5/5) and shrimp only (3,5/5). Surf & turf is also available. Margaritas (5/5) - I'm in lust! Can't get enough of the prickly pear! If you love a tart, "wine candy" (jolly rancher) type flavor, this is for you! That said, the peach marg is tasty too and a better choice if you prefer sweet flavors. Other flavors (including watermelon) are also available but they remain on my "to try" list.

My family raved about this spot and while I was in town they made sure I tried it out for Taco Tuesday. This place is a hidden gem for sure. We ordered the birria taco which is the special for Tuesday. The options are beef, shrimp, and chicken. I really enjoyed the 3 beef birria tacos, sauces, and elote (my fav although it was not on a cob). I cannot remember how much the tacos were but I believe it was about $10 for what I mentioned above. The drinks were also flowing and very good. We ordered the margaritas of course and I tried the liquid marijuana also and it was pretty strong also but very tasty. I really enjoyed this spot and plan to visit again when I'm back home.The bartender and the hostess were very hospitable of course, but I didn't enjoy only being able to sit at the bar as I am short. This was my only complaint since I'm short. The restrooms were clean and smelled good and the back room was being setup when we arrived for the DJ. There is a very small parking lot and lots of street parking.

A hidden gem ! This food was so good we ordered it twice in one night ! It is also a bar but outdoor seating is available. The bartenders were very nice and friendly. I called and ordered ahead. I ordered the beef and one chicken. Each order comes with 3 tacos, sauce, elotes and various toppings. Now onto the delicious tasty make your mouth holler food! The combination of the melting cheese, tender beef and the dipping sauce was all to amazing. I didn't realize what I was missing out on with these tacos. The flavors were so tasty. I don't think I ever ate a taco so quickly . Forget the toppings you really don't need them. The corn also got a splash of the sauce and it set those flavors off too. The sweet corn and a sprinkle of cheese were just perfect. This will be my permanent taco Tuesday spot! They've for sure won me over. Prices are reasonable and worth it. Next time I'll try the street corn.

Great restaurant and bar in the east. I really liked the fish plate and seafood stuffed pepper. I hear they also have great tacos on Tuesdays. Bar is small but patio has a few seats.
