Harry’s Corner

Drinks were not super cheap. $ 3 for a can of High Life ain’t bad but there is cheaper beer in the French Quarter. Cindy was our bartender. She was really nice and funny. Very accommodating for my friend, who doesn’t drink a lot, and helped her find a drink she would like. They are cash only which sucks. But oh well.

Stumble in, drink with the locals and take a bit of harassment from the bartender. He makes a great Bloody Mary. This one of my stops every time I’m in NOLA.

Place was very quaint and a welcome respite from Bourbon Street, however, it was a dump. Bartender Lisa was very nice.

Harry’s is the perfect local bar! Enough tourists pop in to shake thing up, but the locals are the best part of the atmosphere. Great place to listen to an old school juke with an amazing selection of oldies music. As a local, and a tour guide, I am always treated right. Ronnie, Paul, Susie, Cindy, Lisa, Scott are all great people and bartenders.

Cash only bar! There’s an ATM In there though. The bar didn’t feel inviting inside. It was dark even though we went during the day. The drinks are really cheap so that’s the good part. I ordered a beer and asked for a side of water. The bartender asked if I wanted bottled water in a rude way. I said no I just wanted it in a cup. And she seemed annoyed… Not sure why, since I bought 2 drinks.

Just wow!!! This place was so nasty smelling. Like someone took a pee. The drink was strong and that was the only plus. We had to hurry up and get out of there the smell was so bad. Thank goodness for open container policy.

Very unfriendly staff. Didn’t treat us very well. The bartender lady rolled her eyes at me she was more worried about her crocheting then us. Drinks are cheaper tho. Just get the drinks to go and get out of there. Don’t feel welcome. Was just a quick stop and got out. They only take cash.

Lisa is a AWESOME bartender!
Cash only bar. Great drinks, good prices, & a great atmosphere.
Has a local/​dive bar feel. Hipster free zone!
Huge plus its only a block away from my hotel.

straight up old man bar. worked for me and my lady. they serve beer and whiskey and thats just perfect.

Literally some bar on the corner that serves typical bar drinks for cash only. We went here during a Ghost Walking Tour (which I didn’t really enjoy and don’t recommend – tourist trap). This is a bar you stop at when you’re on the way somewhere and randomly stumble into to keep your high on. Otherwise, this is not a place you go out of your way for.

I’m going to just lay it on the line: the bar is cool, but the drinks are overpriced. Way overpriced. $ 8 for a beer you can get for $ 5 elsewhere overpriced. Look, I’m not a dope. It’s the Quarter. You’re gonna charge what dumb tourists are gonna pay. Can I show you my Louisiana ID and get a discount? Even if it’s just a buck off? Seriously, we are on the same team here. We’re all friends. $ 15 for two beers is a little much. It’s water and barley… don’t get arrogant.
Other than that, this place is cool. Cool people and cool staff. Just don’t rob me.

I really enjoyed this bar. It’s a local’s bar and I felt that it was an accomplishment when I got the bartender to «like» me. Okay, that may be silly but I used to live in touristy towns and you really do get tired of tourists and their neediness and silly questions. Therefore, when I got here, wearing my Charger’s jersey, I knew what to expect and I could tell the bartender wasn’t really going to spend much energy on me.
«Challenge Accepted!»
First off, I don’t ask «dumb» questions, I don’t demand his attention, and when I do ask a question, it’s when he’s available. He is running a bar.
I never had to ask for refills, he checked on me in his own way and by the end of my short stay, we had talked. Granted, it was about football and where to go, etc. as well as other things.
It was just a good feeling. The people were nice, everyone was friendly, and the drinks were good!

Cool old school dive bar. Super nice bar tenders, fantastic service! Patrons are so friendly. Local and old, the bar that is. Perfect place to stop to wet your whistle, especially on a hot day, a/​c is awesome!

I notice that Harry’s does not have full 5STARS. Guys it’s the perfect LOCALS corner bar.

I came here for Thanksgiving cause I’m a sad dad asshole.
I really appreciate this place though, I like the way the bar is set up, and I like that there is this old local thing happening that I’m just not even aware of cause I’m not old enough to understand. It’s like if my parents were to throw a party except without all the jewish neutroticism that follows any type of party that I grew up with. Sigh.
The drinks are reasonably priced (definitely for the Quarter) and it just has such a casual ring to it. The only trouble with this bar is that according to the bartender that the schedule always changes for them, meaning that if you have like a «I LOVE THIS BARTENDER SHE’S MY FAVE» Chances are you won’t be able to catch them on the shift that you thought they’d be on. The manager/​owner? Likes to keep all the bartenders on their toes, which is good for business, but when I connect with a bartender, I just wanna see them cause I’m a codependent asshole!
So, I guess that’s my only complaint– Cause I’m that creature of habit that wants to come in on YOUR day that you have and not on some shlomo’s shift that I have no connection with. And yeah, I guess it’s nice to branch out to another bartender but like… who cares?
Great place overall

Just a bar. Employees give off a little too much attitude for no reason. Reasonable prices. I don’t think I’d ever make it a destination. Maybe a pit-​stop.

Really cool hole in the wall neighborhood bar with lots of locals (cash only). I really enjoyed sitting down for a beer here and feeling like a local. The shots I saw the bartender pouring into go cups were quite big — don’t be a jerk and make sure you tip well. Witnessed someone purchase 7 shots of fireball and two other drinks. The shots of fireball had to be at least 3oz each (no joke). Dude only left a $ 4 tip… smh

Loved this place, one of my best memories of my second visit to New Orleans! Not much to look at, we walked in and were like, one beer and we gone. Five or six beers later, we’d kinda changed our minds. Damn, I love good beer and the Jockamo IPA from Abita tasted so much better in New Orleans than it does here in San Antonio. Our bartender was cool, she was knitting some cool beanies and we wound up buying two for upcoming baby showers. Met some nice ladies from Tulsa who had come to NOLA to see Nick Cave, met some locals and we were talking about «Port Of Call: New Orleans» and our fave scenes. The juke box as everybody has mentioned is awesome, 7 plays for 2 bucks. I’ve been fortunate on each visit to have found a great, local neighborhood bar and be welcomed with open arms and that’s what it’s all about folks.

Love this bar, it’s a cool mix of locals and tourists that is somewhat off the beaten path in the French Quarter. We stumbled upon this gem a year ago when we were there and were happy to return. The drinks are good and strong, the bartenders are friendly and quite conversational, and the prices are cheap. What else can you ask for? This is definitely a good place to take refuge from the heat and this has become a place that we stop at everytime we are in the area.
