The Dungeon

Came here on a Sunday evening when it was dead so can't say I was able to get the full experience that the Dungeon may have to offer, but had an overall good time - mostly because the people around were friendly.Everything about this spot is narrow so if you're not into dark, crammed places, why are you here? They don't have a menu so it's kind of up to you to know what you want. I don't drink so I asked the bartender to concoct a mocktail for me - she made a combo of orange and pineapple juice. My friend got a glass of Rumple Minze mixed with Sprite. Together I think our bill came out to be $12 which is not expensive at all compared to the New York prices we're so used to. Apparently there's an upstairs but it was closed as they didn't have enough traffic to open the extra area.

Everytime I come to New Orleans I always visit this place. There two stories. No cameras or recording allowed inside. The drink selection is very limited. The major of items I asked for they didn't have. So we had to stick to generic over priced drinks that were watered down. The service was slow. The music was nice. Seating was extremely limited so you're standing shoulder to shoulder with people.

My girlfriends and I had had this bar on our list of must go-to's bc my fiancé who has a history with NOLA stemming back decades recommended it.We were super excited to go here.Unfortunately, it sucked.The bartender was a huge b. I wanted to know if they had any signature cocktails and she said "We're a dive bar" in this snarky ass tone. Girl, f'n duh. But you work in a touristy locale and most bars, even dive bars, have signature cocktails. I ordered two vodka tonics with lime, a Diet Coke and sparkling water. The Diet Coke was all water, our drinks were shit. She had a f'n attitude when I said to keep it open and said they hold onto the card. Girl...I wasn't born yesterday. No need to talk to me like I was. She said it like I've never been in a bar in my life, like she was schooling me. Get over yourself. I work in the industry. I am sensitive and appreciative of servers and bartenders and tip accordingly. This girls f'n attitude left me wanting not to tip at all. I almost wrote on the receipt because we heard her complaining about tips to a patron. She was so snotty and I suspect was drunk/on something...Whoever manages/owns this bar needs to do some re-evaluation of their employees. If I treated customers the way she did at my bar and restaurant, I'd be fired. Don't recommend. I spent $41 on two vodka tonics, a nothing Diet Coke that wasn't a Diet Coke because they haven't switched their syrup bag for their gun and was too interested in acting like hot shit to other patrons and ignoring us. Don't be a b to people who do what you do and do it better. Maybe you'll get tipped more than a cent.

Unique hidden dive bar, with a jukebox that only requires $1 per song. It's a very small, narrow and dark bar. No pictures/ recordings allowed, which we found strange. Restrooms are a joke- don't expect much. The upstairs bar area was closed. The bartender seemed cool but then she screamed at a guy that was either attempting to take a picture or recording at the bar. I get it, pictures are not allowed but she was very rude and said a derogatory name to the customer.

Better bar than most bourbon street places. Great juke box to chose your music friendly bartender service. No pictures allowed so you need to check this out on your own.

We did not eat here, but we drank and danced and laughed and had the best time ever! If you love loud metal music in a dark, dungeon-like atmosphere, then this is for you! Our bartender was super fun and friendly! Great service! No photography allowed inside!

For what this place is, it does it pretty damn perfectly. I mean, if you like hard rock and metal and dim lighting and skulls, this is your jam.This was one of the last stops of the evening, so I was feeling pretty dang good and got into the metal jams more than I normally would have. Like, YES. The ceiling is so low that someone warned me I was about to hit my head as I was jumping around. Wheeeeee.They don't serve food and the booze selection is limited. It's not about good selection - it's about skulls and red lighting and ROCK AND ROLL. Service will probably laugh at you if you request some fancy drink here. Just guessing.Will stop here again for sure.

Well this place was interesting. Haha. We were expecting more of a super natural theme. It's really more like an S & M spot. There are two levels. The upstairs was blaring death medal. The drinks were mediocre. No pics allowed. Meh. It was fine. Probably depends on what you like. It really wasn't for me.

I went "back in the day" when the Dungeon did not open until midnight. I think their hours were midnight to 8 AM. Typical of NOLA, drinks were pricey and once upstairs, you were elbow to elbow - it was tiny and always packed! You could not fit a stage in the upstairs area, and I know there was not live music. I enjoyed the super-divey atmosphere and the punk rock vibe of the era at the Dungeon. It was dark, crowded and it was difficult to see the kitschy items displayed in nooks in the walls. I was really happy to visit the Dungeon, even though we did not make an entire night of it.

Dark and grungy and it's a vibe! Hidden and kinda spooky but worth it for sure. Lots of NOLA history and locals are drinking here.
