The R Bar

When the Saints are out of town this is the perfect neighborhood bar to watch the game at. They have one large tv inside and a out door screen for those wanting to be outside. Outside they also had a food vendor that we got some cheese stick appetizers at.Inside the TV volume was turned up so you could not only watch the game, but you can hear it too. This is unlike most sports bars. In most sports bars they have multiple screens and no sound. I loved that it had sound.My football loving husband said this was the best place he's been to, to watch a home game. It was a great vibe. Soda was $3 and Beer was also $3. It was a steal. They also had to self serve water stations. And deals on a bucket of beers. It was 5 beers for $15.I highly reccomend coming here to watch an away game for the Saints. There was plenty of seating and we felt welcomed at the corner bar for locals.

This bar is the bar that my husband absolutely loves to come to any chance that he gets. So now I have to come A LOT lol. One of the good things about this bar is that it is very safe and the surrounding area is very safe and literally across the street from the start of the French Quarter. So if you have visitors in town that want to go to the French Quarter, it's nice to start here and then walk across the street and start getting a taste of The French quarter. The prices here are amazing, as there are other bars that want to charge tourist prices. This place does not do that. You get a lot for your money and the bartenders here are super sweet and welcoming. Especially our favorite bartender, LeighAnn. She is one of the most friendliest, funniest bartenders I've ever met who has now become a friend. She knows how to make every drink and can also create a drink - If you just tell her what you're looking for. We come here for all of the Mardi Gras parades. They have a DJ here every Saturday night and we have become friends with the neighborhood patrons. This place is awesome and it's always on our list of things to do when we are out and about.

We stopped in while walking around NOLA. It was on the list of where NCIS shots were filmed. Friendly staff, large interior, lots of seating and tons of drink specials.

Just a cute little dive bar that has been here so long I forget it exists from time to time, but here it always is . The bartender this trip was fantastic, so sweet and attentive. The perfect little New Orleans hangout for an afternoon of unwinding.

My go to spot, feel weird telling the world about it because I wanted it to be my little secret! It is a great mix of locals and tourists and just a great spot! The bartenders are the best and really make outstanding drinks. I love the pineapple mojito even though I normally wouldn't order a frozen drink, they aren't that sweet so no hangover, yippie! Great place to watch Saints games and all around a solid place. No drama, no fights and any city in the World to would be lucky to have an establishment like this.

Great service, good prices fun environment . Away from the craziness but fun staff and ambiance

Mulled wine has entered the R(oom) and it's the perfect winter warm-up, especially if you grab one of several outdoor patio seats that has been a happy permanent addition since COVID.Recently I was talking to my friends in New York about how it's possible in NOLA to go out to a great place with great cocktail/wine options for less than 18-30 dollars a pop and I think I made at least three of them cry. Let's also talk about the fact that everytime I'm in there, I'm happy with the music selection. Like really, really happy. Everything from groovy 60s to punk rock 80s to ... well, none of the typical pop/dance stuff you hear in most bars (and I like that stuff, don't get me wrong but it's refreshing to hear Blondie and the Misfits and Jefferson Airplane OK?)And the cutest dogs are regulars here.

No sign of Duane Pride wasn't in the house, nor any NOLA NCIS agents. What would be called the "Tru Tone bar" on TV is a much different picture in real life. This primarily local's hangout is still quite an impressive view from the street, the wrap around balcony really brings the facade to life here. Being situated in a residential area I would have expected to at least find an open table for a couple drinks, I can clearly understand why they call themselves a community center.Bring your quarters for the jukebox, you won't find any live music at the R Bar, but on Monday evenings you can get a haircut and a shot, just make sure it's not the barber joining you for a shot. Unlike Dr. Who's tardis, this bar is definitely bigger on the outside, maybe it was the impression I got from TV, I was not expecting it to be that small which is why I waited for seating to open up outside.This place is also home to the Royal Street Inn on the second floor, and although I had not seen it in person, the photos online make the suites look very impressive. I am a fan of the local hangouts when I travel, this is one of them I would stop back into when I am in NOLA next. Cheers!

Came here for a nightcap. My boyfriend and Pimm's Cup and I had a peach bubbly. Both delish and not heavy. Very refreshing. They were both $8. Bartender was friendly and made drinks fast. Drink menu had lots of options for whatever your preference is.

Went to R Bar only to see where scenes from NCIS were filmed. All four of us sat down and one of us had a Trump hat on. The female bartender screamed across the bar to the tables that we would only be served if we took our Trump hats off If not we could get out!!! She was incredibly rude!! That was the only bad experience we had since being in New Orleans. If I owned that bar I would fire her immediately. She then preceded to play on full blast "Fuck Donald Trump" song. What a disgrace!!
