Igor’s Lounge & Game Room

We had a great time here playing pool and drinking beers on our trip to New Orleans. This place was close to our airbnb, the beers were cheap, and the the food was actually really good! I got a cheeseburger and fries, my buddy got some chicken nuggets. Came with dipping sauce, sauces and napkins up front. There’s laundry here too which is kinda weird. People were wandering in to throw some clothes in and grab a beer. Juke box is hooked up to one of the apps where you can pay to play music so we were doing that all night (along with many of the regulars). Think it’s a 24 hour establishment which is cool. Good beer selection, bartender and other customers were friendly. Would definitely go here again!

BBQ burger with fries is $ 8.50 easily makes two
Meals. Grab a seat at the bar order some beers and make some friends. Order a drink during happy hour for half of domestic beers. Nice place to do some people watching on the avenue

I love the concept… drinks, food, laundry, karaōke, pool tables, lots of room to sit and chill with friends.
The service is garbage. I have stood barside for over 40 mins before even being acknowledged by the bartender. And not because they’re swamped. They play favorites and would rather take cigarette breaks and make unprofessional phone calls instead.
I’m just waiting for my clothes to dry then I’m out.

The service here was ghastly. Dude bartender in plaid with suspenders was openly ignoring me — serving customers who had arrived after me — walking past me as my empty cup sat in front of me, money in my hand. I don’t know what his problem was, but I don’t do pretension.
Friends wanted to have another drink there, I made us leave for another bar up the street.
Nope.

Epic. Epic epicness. You need to do laundry? Need to buy a book? Need to gamble? Need to drink cheap ass Bloody Mary’s and beer? Play pool? Use the worst toilet in all of NoLa? Look no further, Igors has you covered. Seriously, this place is amazing. No tourists here, as this is truly a «locals place». This is far from the douchy bars around the French quarter. Instead you’ll get a true «NoLa» experience. Igor’s is one of those dives you’ll never forget, I for sure won’t. $ 8 giant booze filled Bloody Mary’s and $ 5 abita drafts– can you go wrong with this? No!!! If you want an amazing NoLa «locals» experience this is it. Wile away your afternoon while your laundry finishes, read a book, gamble, drink. Enjoy Igor’s… I for sure did and I will again.

We went and had a blast. The hamburgers were great. We just had to move from sitting at the tables in the back because of the bugs/​roaches trying to get at our food. Eek! We were doing our laundry so we couldn’t really leave.
We sat at the bar and didn’t have anymore problems with the bugs. We met some really cool people and had a blast the rest of the night. We would totally go again despite the bugs. Great vibe and good IPA beer on tap. We would probably just stay at the bar next time and not eat at the tables in the back.

My husband and I were staying next door at the Avenue Plaza and decided to head in to grab a drink while we waited for the street car to come. I ordered a drink and noticed there was a bug in it. I mentioned it to the bartender and she was not shocked. Have me a new drink and this time it had a huge cockroach! I was definitely grossed out but didn’t want to sound like a bi$@! so my husband made a joke about it to her again. Third time is the charm but while we were there, I forgot to mention you can do laundry there as well. Lol But a guy came up to the bar who said he needed new detergent since he went to unload his clothes out of the washer and it had roaches in it!!! How gross!!! Lastly, the place smells weird and there were bums in there getting drinks or should I say babysitting their drinks cause they prob had enough money just for one drink. They were stinky and wacky. Overall the is place should be closed down!!!

I can walk to this place, but I rather spend money on transit to go somewhere else. I can never come here without being bothered by patrons. Some places they leave you alone. This place is infested with annoying people. Another time some of the bums outside started yelling racist crap to a friend of mine (who is white). It’s always something that reminds me why I never come here.
Cheese fries are frozen fries topped with Kraft cheese. Something you would do coming home at night/​morning in college.
I don’t have a public bathroom phobia because I travel a lot, but the women’s stalls are annoying. The toilet is literally next to the door. It’s more comfortable using it with the door open. That’s also annoying, so I have actually walked home to use the bathroom and walked back. Some of the bar tenders are alright, so they get two stars just for that.
NOT one of the best Bloody’s in town. That’s for the surrounding hotels infiltrated by tourists who don’t know any better. In a city where Bloody Mary’s pour like fountains it is a JOKE.

My favorite Dive Bar… and its a classic dive bar. Tell Pop’s Hi, no one better than Pop’s to talk to while while sipping a beer outside Igors!

Bummed, I’ve always liked it here. Good bloody Mary’s, not the best, super rude bartender though.
Went back again during mardigras and had a great time. This girl knows her way around a Bloody Mary!

This might be a great place to eat if you have low expectations.
If you like your burger burned to a crisp this is the place to go. The concierge at our hotel must have had a very different experience because she said this place served the best burgers ever! Hard to imagine since my $ 10 burger with fries was mostly inedible.

OK, I’ll give them two stars ONLY because they were open on Christmas day and I was dying of thirst. But on any other day this would’ve been a one-​star review. The bartender was completely inattentive, with us having to flag her down to request refills on our drinks. We ordered cheese fries, and were seriously disappointed to get frozen shoestring fries with what appeared to be a single slice of American cheese melted on top, barely enough to notice. Then we saw her pounding a stack of frozen burgers on the counter to try to separate them… and picked one up off the floor when it flew away from the stack and threw it on the grill. That was when we’d seen enough and decided to leave.
I got the impression that the locals love it here, and the bartender seemed to know them all very well, But the visitors were pretty much ignored.

Skip it.
Frozen burger patties (watched in come out of the box and be thrown on the grill) and i had to dump my bloody Mary (no clue how they got a «best bloody Mary in Nola» accommodation.) If you want to have food and sit outside don’t expect anyone to help you, you have to go inside and order and then make sure you listen for the bartender to scream that your food is ready so that you can walk back inside to pick it up. The ladies bathroom has no locks on the door, so tiny you have to almost squat sideways to relieve yourself, not very clean at all and they are upstairs.

This is one of my go to bars. I enjoy being a regular here because the bartenders always take care of you. What drew me here years back was the need to do laundry around my terrible work schedule and what brought me coming back was working a terrible job and needing to blow off steam. This place always does the trick.

Among the historic mansions and trolleys of the Garden District, there is a bar called IGORS that if you blink — you could easily miss it. The red lighting and dark wood décor of the two floors of this place time warps you to the past with its Garden District Brothel/​Dive Bar décor that is very charming. It is a Bar, Grill, Casino, Man Cave, Book Store,…Laundromat. Open 24 hours, where else can you wear pajamas during happy hour? Of all the IGORS locations, this is the best one. I had another amazing evening of drinks, bar food and watching the trolley street cars go by on St. Charles… while doing my laundry. Karaōke is great here, as well dropping by to watch a game.

Great dive bar! Hurricanes, bloody Mary’s, pool tables, laundry. People are truly here 24 hours a day (I can contest seeing people at 7am), and there are certaintly plenty of reasons.
Order the jalapeño peppers-​you won’t regret them. Unless you’re lactose intolerant, then maybe not so much.

I can only rate their Bloody Mary and the awesomeness that is a 24 hour bar/​restaurant /​game room/​laudromat!
The drink was good and spicy and in a to go cup. Another awesome concept.
One morning F was up at 4am stepped outside out hotel and found every table outside full. What a great city.

This was just a spot my family and I saw while walking by waiting on one of the parades to start during Nardin Grass. Walked in my sister ordered me a drink… I don’t even remember what the drink was called but it was pretty good! The place is pretty dark and eerie which I guess this is why they have the spooky name… It goes! A nice selective amount of Liquor lined up on the wall, Our Bartender was really nice and she even took our picture. This is a place I would go back to when I get back to Nawlin’s!

Puts the dive in dive bars. I love me some dive bars but this place will test how much dive you truly like. First off you had a 80% chance of being asked for change on your way in and out of Igor’s.
The place earns points for being unique if you are looking for a bar, grill, laundry mat, library, and casino well then my friend this is for you.
The fair is str8 greasy bar food but what else would you want? Stick with the cajun burger and you will be alright!

A motley crew led by Frankenstein meandered into Igor’s around 4pm after a day of shooting (photos) looking for a libation to carry us to the evening hours. Maybe this wasn’t the right time for a Bloody but I was told by a companion that this was one of the best Bloody Marys in town. Since November 2012, I have become a Bloody Mary connoisseur, so I jumped at the opportunity!
As she built up this Bloody Mary to legendary status, I licked my chops as I was handed the concoction by my neck-​bolted monster friend.
Meh. The Bloody Mary flavors that usually piqué my taste buds and satiate my obsession weren’t there, and this is why. They use a homemade barbecue sauce in their Bloody. This might be up your alley, but this wasn’t up mine. Needless to say, Igor’s might not be my HQ for Bloody Marys.
It’s also a smoky, little joint. I’m not a smoker, and so I’m dumbfounded by places that can still serve food and have smoking in the bar. Wasn’t there a law passed?
I did, however, enjoy the little space by the window and people watching was enjoyable with my band of misfits. The fact that a man can dress as Frankenstein, order a round of drinks and get one nod from a bar fly is uniquely New Orleans, and not soon forgotten.
