Johnny White’s Sports Bar

Sat on the balcony and had an awesome oyster poboy! Donna was great and food was awesome. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Fun place… just go upstairs & you will have the best view ever of Bourbon Street.
Super nice staff.
We didn’t get food… it was pricey. But for drinks & kicking back… I highly advise going there.
We went back at least 4 times. Fun place.

Worst service ever! Waited for drinks and service for 30 minutes. We moved to a table closer to the street and they said we had to move back because they needed it for a big top then sat two girls there. Our waitress walked up and said «did you decide yet» no hello or nothing then didn’t even bring us more water to drink. It wasn’t busy and they had four waitresses. I never write reviews and they were treated us so poorly I had too!

Underwhelming. Staff didn’t seem too thrilled to be there. Fantastic location — should be one of the classics.

I’ve ONLY had Bloody Mary’s here. My beau and I stayed at the Bourbon Orleans in one of their lofts with the room overlooking Bourbon street. One morning, we were sitting on the balcony and noticed this lil dive across the street that advertised Bloody Mary’s for $ 5. It was almost 9am and well, we wanted «breakfast» and saw that they were open. We were immediately greeted by Dawn and quickly ordered a Bloody Mary. NOLA style, it came with a pickled okra. Goodness I forgot how much I missed my 2^nd home (Dillard Univ. alum). Dawn is extremely personable and makes a kick ass Bloody Mary. No better way to get your morning started than with your veggies from a Bloody Mary. Let’s Geaux!

We decided to dodge the hustle of Bourbon Street here, and were seated on the balcony for some prime people-​watching. The service was quite good, but the rest of the experience was disappointing. I had the jambalaya, which was tasty, but in New Orleans, for the money, there are better. My wife ordered the étouffée and found it to be much spicier than advertised to the point where she could not eat it. The waitress fixed us up with another meal off the menu — a chicken breast that she found unpleasantly salty. Our subpar experience does not reflect on the waitress, of course. Also, the wine was served in a glass sized for a ten year-​old, and it wasn’t really all that good. We also noted that, even though there were just two of us and I took the check, a gratuity had automatically been added, which was not the case elsewhere. The waitress did, however, ensure we were not charged for the étouffée.

Great bloody mary with picked okra, very good. We’ve had a few in New Orleans, best so far.

Redskins bar, in the French quarter. Nice to hang out and have a beer. Great selections of beers

Great view with homemade southern food.
We stopped in here for some much needed grub and a rest from all the walking we’d done that day. The gentleman on the street grabbed our attention and after consulting the menu, which is traditional southern and pub grub, we went up. It’s a tiny place with balcony seating and a great view of bourbon. Hubby ordered a bacon cheese burger and fries and said it was good. I got the crawfish étouffée and it was freaking amazing. The waitress was lovely and service was great.
I think people who complain about slow service don’t get it at all. 1) you’re in the SOUTH. Chill out and enjoy the slow life. 2) these are tiny establishments with little kitchens that prep everything to order, often packed, with only one or two servers. Real food takes time.
This was a cool little joint with great simple southern food. Highly recommended.

this place was a chill little spot that i don’t remember much of thanks to the wonderful care and service of our bartender.
probably my favorite place that i experienced for drinks in the french quarter… although i didn’t party too much… and really prefer more of a divey spot than a poppin club.

During my recent Bourbon Street travels, I saw a sign outside this place offering up $ 5 Bloody Mary’s. While we didn’t go that night (there’s dozens of bars around Bourbon Street), the idea stuck in my mind.
So upon getting up the next day, we went back to try a sample of one of these drinks. When on vacation, have a hearty breakfast, I always say.
Damn, that’s a good Bloody Mary. That’s a REALLY good Bloody Mary. And the girl who served it up was really nice and conversational, so while a brief stop in, it was really pleasant. I simply had an enjoyable time and a great start to my morning. The daytime is far more subdued than the evenings, and less crowded.
One of the best Bloody Marys that I’ve had in a good while.

My favorite place to stop on Bourbon! Great beer choices, knowledgable bartenders, not too expensive and never a wait. Not sure why but I’ll take it.

Got a bloody mary here with a sweet pickle and a green bean. Was unfortunately kind of watery (in comparison to my one from Coop’s) but still a-​ok. Stopped in here for a brief break from walking and a trip to the loo. Decent prices, nice dive bar.

Went during an off time I guess. Only two other people inside. Pretty standard dive bar. Drinks were average prices. Didn’t get to eat here. One of the more divey spots that we went to.

A great pub!!! Tony the bartender is amazing!!! Makes everyone feel like a local! Very diverse place and accepting of everyone!!! Was able to talk to us about local events and things in quarter!
Food is great and drinks strong!

THOSE WINGS. Wow. Juicy and just hot enough and so freaking delicious.
Bourbon Street, if you’ve only seen it on tv or in a Girls Gone Wild video, is more than just balconies. But, as someone who enjoys a balcony and a plate of wings while people watching, this is close to the best you can get. From tables on the balcony you can look out and see a night’s worth of entertainment. A fortune teller who went nuts and clocked a random guy with his voodoo stick? Check. A bridal party getting slutty with a bunch of bros in pastel shirts and loafers spending their dad’s money after a long day spent closing rec centers? Check.
Drinks are great, wings were perfect, service was quick and everyone was cool. Will go again.

This bar rocks!!!
I was in NOLA for a convention, looked for a sports bar to watch the Stanley cup and I found this small cool bar. The bartenders are awesome, especially Nathalie, and treat everyone good, locals or touris… A lot of locals hangout there, which is nice if you like to have a great chat about what drives them… the prices are very reasonable. I will be back there, it feels like home in jiffy!
Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to Tony — the sweet bartender who totally redeemed this place.
Due to a change in ownership recently, there have been some serious ass holes working here. Numerous times I’ve come in only to be ridiculed by the staff and forced to listen to death metal on the jukebox and ridiculed AGAIN when I played something more tolerable — and no, I was not trying to play Carly Rae Jepsen or Nickelback or anything stupid.
That being said, we were finally having a nice afternoon here and noticed that there was about to be a shift change. In walked Tony, a big muscley guy with tats. I thought to myself, here we go, he’s going to be mean to us… and he was a doll! Tony was so nice and accommodating, and put up with 8 of us being loud and having a blast. I personally went up to him and shook his hand and thanked him. I told him about our horrible experiences here in the recent past and he was glad that he helped us change our minds about the place.
Yay Tony! Johnny White’s is back!

A real locals bar right on Bourbon Street? How? I’m not sure… but if you’re looking for some place to avoid those creepy, sweaty animals that litter the balconies with $ 0.01 beads made in China hoping for a nip slip, you’ve come to the right place.
Cheap beer and mixed cocktails, friendly drink slingers who guzzle more booze on their side of the bar than yours, local sports on the TV (LSU/​Saints), and a true respite from what can sometimes become a maddening scene right outside their front doors = win. I’m obviously no local… but if I can skip a sugary 100-​ounce Hurricane in favor of a beer + shot for $ 5, I’ll take that almost every single time.
They also have a kick ass Bloody Mary if you find yourself there in the morning hours, which seems to happen pretty easily in this little slice of The South.

We needed a low key sports bar to watch the LSU vs GA game and stumbled in here because there were seats right at the bar. Plenty of locals were there to watch the game — not to mention the bartender lass played the LSU song every time they scored (and they scored, a LOT). Beers were quick to come to me and reasonably priced, people watching was great, and we even met the queen of the bar who works at the Old Coffee Pot. She was adorable and fun to talk to. If you get bored, go in the back to play some slot machines. Tip: the bathroom door pushes open but give it a good push, it is open. Not sure what is up with the one stall and then another one with no door but hey, if you gotta go then it could be an option. Overall a solid location for sports watching.
