The Prytania Bar

Just when you think you know about every bar in New Orleans, even if you haven't had a drink there... spoiler: it is impossible to know about every bar in New Orleans. And I don't even mean the ones that recently opened.I had a couple friends in town recently on a Sunday and we might have lost track of time (and drinks consumed... how did it get to be 11pm?!) We thought we'd keep the party going at Delachaise, but oddly they were closing too (it was a quiet night in town for some reason... let's call it the calm before the Superbowl and Mardi Gras storm). After seeing Prytania Bar was open, we headed there.I love the vibe in here-- very much old school NOLA dive but also clean and inviting. The bar is large and circular and I can't imagine not sitting at it if there is room and I am not really a fan of sitting at bars. The bartender was chill and friendly and offered up suggestions to my friends who were on the fence about which beer to order (bottles and cans only). And although it's a dive, that is not the 'tude here. I had ordered a sparkling wine and with one or two sips, I wasn't feeling it (too sweet) and the bartender kindly offered to make it a mimosa or poinsetta. I couldn't see that happening at (an array of bars that shall remain nameless). I also was not really into drinking more that night, so I can't tell you what a cocktail might have been like if I had exchanged it for one.The tunes were also excellent-- old doo-wop, Motown, Beach Boys (a gal was feeding the jukebox, not sure if she worked there or was a customer). I just really liked this bar. And... the bathrooms are clean!If I lived near here, I'd be a fixture. I'll be back but I'll have to find something other than sparkling wine to drink.

The prytania bar is a cool spot with live music and a great 2 for 1 happy hour from 3-7pm M-F and daily unique drink specials. Is located directly across the street from Touro hospital. As far as parking you get in when you can. The live music is everyday starting around 7:00 p.m. And they also have an option with the little restaurant on the side called P. Otis foods with menu items starting at $12 and down they also have nine vegan options. Bartender was cool and had some good suggestions on the house wine when asked and he made a great old fashioned too. The loud music was a great touch. It was great to be able to enjoy live music, reasonable price, drinks, and some food on the side. Just a great relaxing spot I'll definitely return

This place has been several different bars and this latest incarnation seems to vary from an older crowd for happy hour and for now they don't have music but they plan to bring the music back. This is a decent bar with an ambiance that has a dive vibe. The previous owners had divided up the bar into other spaces but they have recombined the spaces. They have some nice daily specials on food and drinks so this is definitely a spot to check out.

Cool little spot tucked away. I talked to the owner while I was there he's really trying a lot of different ideas to drum up business in a relatively difficult location due to almost 0 foot traffic. The space is surprisingly awesome. Didn't have any food. Prices are a bit steep. I stopped by because they had a Steelers flag on the building after being out watching the game already. Will stop by again. I could have done without the one man band honestly.

Great Dive! The bartender Day was the best! I came in on a weeknight with a group of six women. The drinks were strong and affordable, Day was kind and funny, and the bar was clean.If I lived in the area, I could easily see this place being my go-to spot.

Love this bar. New owner makes you feel at home. As a regular he started stocking my favorite wine. Very chill vibe and dog friendly!!

Prytania Bar is a locals gem! Fast cheap drinks, more of a beer bar but they do have liquor for mixed drinks. Fun block with Qiqi and Yinzers nearby. They have a few outdoor picnic tables you can sit outside if you'd like. Bathroom leaves a little to be desired but not bad for a Nola bar. Great location, easy to hop off the street car and walk the block to Prytania Bar for a beer. Fun place to meet for a date or with some friends. Also, GREAT Mardi Gras location, a block off the parade route, can't beat that. Highly recommend!

Hands down a 5 star bar, quick service, cheap and hefty drinks. The locals and bar regulars welcome everyone with open arms. Drink specials throughout the week as well as various live entertainment with no cover!! This will definitely be my new go to bar! If you're looking for a place to go I highly recommend stopping by here.

Great bar! Nice beer options and a fun atmosphere, especially when there's live music!

Loved this place!!! The burger and fries were amazing and the new owner was great. I will definitely be back!!!!
