We went here looking for a place to watch the Super Bowl. We were traveling through New Orleans and really didn’t know the area. Bruno’s had plenty of TVs and we got there early enough to get a seat. It was clean, not too dark or dingy, and the food was decent bar type food – sandwiches, wings, that sort. On the down sides – our server seemed pretty unclear about the concept of «service» and could often be found leaning against a wall or enjoying a shot with friends; it took 45 min to get an order of onion rings; and it was a very young crowd, not obnoxious by any means, however. But, if you want good service, food that arrives soon enough that you can remember what you ordered and a crowd that is over 25 don’t go here.

Absolutely love this place and all of its specials. There is always something(special wise) going on each night of the week. The staff is extremely friendly, there are a decent number of drink choices and the food is pretty good for bar food. After 9pm, it gets dark and the plastic cups come out. It has a VERY college bar feel, but you will catch more grad students than undergrad. There are TVs all over the bar, so there is always a game or ten on. The shuffle board and pool table are in a good location where you can play, have your own space for food/drinks and catch a game all at once. I would highly recommend eating or drinking here for the night. It’s a pretty good bar, and I’ve never seen any fights break out. I would bring my mom here after 9pm, it’s so well behaved(and has quality food/drink for a bar). I hang out here at least once a week. Check it out if you’re in uptown!

Bad service. Sat at a table and was never approached. My first experience was great but this time horrible. Thanks we are going to apple bees now.

Went here for an A&M watch party on Saturday. It is definitely a dive bar, so I won’t get into the crappy decorations and dust/dirt everywhere because it is assumed. One of the people who«worked» there(I use this term loosely because while he had a company shirt on, he was drinking and hanging out with other patrons), changed the 11 tv’s this bar has about 4000 times in the course of a couple hours. He clearly had no idea what he was doing, and while this was a designated watch party location for the A&M/LSU game, they were only showing that game on 2 tv’s. The wait staff except for one younger lady were completely inept. We won’t be coming back even if we are in the area unfortunately.

Pretty good burgers. Tried the black and bluez which was ok. I also tried the One Eyed burger which was good. The waffle fries are good as well. The serviced was very slow and the restaurant was at 50% capacity. Really no excuse. Bloody Mary was very good.

I frequent Bruno’s every Wednesday night for 50% off for students night. Great atmosphere, mature yet friendly. One of the better bars I’ve been to in New Orleans. Many TVs and they attract patrons that are not of the teenage, young and immature variety. Bruno’s is the place to be at night, and a place to take your parents during the day/evening.

Bruno’s is a solid joint with the requisite beers, bar food, shot specials, pool tables, and sports channels on TV. Every neighborhood needs a place like this and during my stay in NOLA, I enjoyed several drinks with friends here. The friendly staff added to the positive atmosphere. However, I was a bit surprised by the food prices: they seemed quite high for what is, more or less, standard pub fare. I hope that these rates mean that the staff are being paid minimum wage or higher(as opposed to relying most on tips for income.)

Not only does the food regularly take an hour or more to come out even when they are not busy, but they refused to accept an ID because it was a few weeks expired.

Bru-NO pretty much sums up how I feel. Oh, I can have a free shot if I check in on Facebook? Still no. The building is nice enough. It’s roomy and they have a patio, which is a welcome respite from the smoky interior. The servers are one redeeming quality, which is why I’m going two stars instead of one. My last visit was on a Saturday afternoon and I was with group celebrating a birthday. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? Well, it was until we ended up at Bruno’s for some reason that is unbeknownst to me. The music that day was the golden oldies. It’s been a hot minute since anyone actually got their thrill on blueberry hill. Just saying. Did I mention how smoky it is? I decided it would be best to move outside when a guy walked carrying oxygen. Seriously… just, no. Maybe if I lived on the same block I might go back. But I don’t. So I really probably won’t. Go back that is.

DONTGOHERE. Terrible service. The bartender/“manager” turned down my real 22 year old ID. He then served us bad liquor, replaced the bad liqour, and proceeded to charge me for both drinks after personally insulted me. I will never come back.

I went here for a Tulane Watch Game party. The food was really good. The cheese tray was really good and fresh. I also had the beef brisket, red beans and these fried mac and cheese things that were really good. Good place to watch a game and relax. Nice waitresses.

Great place to watch the Saints game, but the service was very slow. I would recommend their house daquiri which tastes like Hawaiian Punch, but the food there is your typical bar food — nothing special. They do have alot of tvs, and it wasn’t crowded at all to watch the game.

Inside is a typical sports bar with tv’s, pool tables and plenty of beer and bar food. I love coming here and sitting outside enjoying the friendly service and sweet fries. They have $ 1 beer(for the husband) and a PJ’s right down the block(for me) so its a nice relaxing spot during the late afternoon before the college rush comes in for the night. The food is the only reason I am giving this a 3 stars… Its super expensive for bar food… I’m pretty sure I just spent $ 13 and my liver on the black market for 3 chicken fingers… I’ll come back here for sure, just not when I’m hungry!

We go to Bruno’s pretty frequently as they have awesome food. We went here to watch the opening of the Olympics last year. The food is excellent! One Eyed Jack burger… so good. Debris fries… dreamy. Even their regular burger is really good. The drinks are pretty good. They make a good Pimm’s Cup and some nights there are $ 3 margaritas. Downside…not smoke free yet. So it gets really smokey and nasty inside. But we usually sit outside.

So this place is a college sports bar but their menu used to offer lots of options other than fried foods and burgers. That’s all they have now. No vegetarian offerings. Fries are not what I call an option btw! Bring back ur larger menu, salads and some veggie options. The people are nice though and it’s a good place for a beer!

Every time I end up here I ask myself«Whyyy???» All in all it accomplishes what a bar should… and that’s get me drunk. The food is the only reason it even gets 2 stars. The debris fries are pretty amazing as is the grilled chicken.

4 stars for the fries – the ones that come with cheese and sour cream and bacon bits and all of that delicious stuff. Negative 1 star for the crowd – collegey and douchey, not surprising considering the neighborhood. Some good drink specials, tons of tvs for watching sports, tons of people(some of whom seem willing to socialize outside their preformed social circle), and DID I MENTIONCRAZYDELICIOUSFRIES? Only reason I would come here.

A fun place with a cheesy college bar feel to it. I’ve visited it a few times while visiting friends at Tulane, and at the ripe old age of 24, I did feel like I had aged out of the target demographic. You’re definitely going to hear songs like Gangam Style, Call Me Maybe, and the like played a lot while some rich girl yells YOLO… but, it’s a college bar for a rich private school; what do you expect? That being said, still a fun place to grab a game of pool and a pitcher of cheap Abita with some friends in the area.

«What fresh hell is this” — the sequel. OK, fine, Bruno’s means well enough. I just don’t really want to know what they mean, get my drift? I have no past here. It reminds me of scores of NYU bars, though, the kinds of places that I’d pretend to like so that I could feel normal for a short while when I cared about feeling normal(ie, before I hit 19). So, now that we have that awkwardness out of the way, let’s NOT have a little trip down memory lane, K? It certainly wouldn’t involve sassy dance music and lining up for shots. I never did any of that. Thanks for the memories, Bruno’s.
