Mick’s Irish Pub

Kelly is an awesome bartender and I love going in to have a few drinks, shoot some pool and hang with friends. It’s just a nice neighborhood bar with a lot of regulars. I enjoy my $ 4.25 Jameson’s. I get tired of banks street bar and I’m happy to go a little farther to hang out here. Nice big back room that I have had friends host cast parties there. Elbow room around the single pool table can be tight on busy nights, but workable. I’d rather pay $.50 for pool than rent by the hour.

First Timer… Guinness on tap, The craic was humerous.
We needed a good local bar and fast.
After attending a UYE locally, one attendees ended up having an issue with his bill and was in a foul mood.
MICK’s to the rescue!
I gave a 20 $ bill to my friend, stated to please order me a Guinness as Katie and I went to hunt for the ladies room. We trotted up a few stairs to the back and found, a shuffle board table, arcade games as we oo’d and awww’d at the awesomeness of assortment. Ladies room was extra humorous with it’s interesting convo for certain sexual preferences written in the stall. We had a good laugh.
Back at the bar, for 20 $ I had bought everyone a round and a tip… Wow! now I really love this place. Decorated with the same signage you would find in any Irish bar. A pool table, several tvs with various shows, (one had «finding Nemo» playing and one patron was def into watching it) Terrific locals bar and quite a few pool sharks streamed in and out with their sticks.
I’ll be going back… you can bet on it.
I felt nostalgic as I sipped on my Guinness
Dirty Ol’ Town fainting playing in my head as I remembered my own local Irish bar, Looney’s in Cali. Now long gone and dear Ray Tubbrity doing his jig in Heaven… You would have loved this place Tubb’s…I tell you all about it when I see you again…

This is the kind of place where you go and say, «Boy! If I lived in the area, I’d come here every day!»
I’ve been here a couple times, during the DAY during pub crawls and it’s one of my favorite spots to stop. On St Patrick’s day most recently, they opened early and there weren’t any people there yet, so we had the place to ourselves. The bartenders were nice and easy going and didn’t give me any crap about filling up my tankard. That’s always a plus. What’s more of a plus is when they know HOW to fill up a tankard; which they did.
They had a few tables outside which were enjoyable as we started out the crawl and watched the clouds clear.
This place has a front and back. The front of the bar is a nice large bar with decent seating and a few table and chairs. There’s also a pool table. The back of the bar has a few arcade games and pinball machines which are just… ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when you’ve got a few pints of ale in you. They have a few sofas back there, a few dart boards and a … shuffleboard table (? i think that’s what you call it). It’s a completely different feel from the front of the house, but cozy and welcoming, nonetheless.
Their tap selection was decent for a pub and their prices fair. Like I said, this is one of those places where I’d be hanging out quite a bit if I didn’t live across the lake. You’ll like it. I’m not sure how this place changes with the night crowd, but I’ll be finding out one day because it’s worth it.

Always has been, might always be my favorite bar! From the arcade games to the lounge section you will feel at home. This was my dogs favorite bar too back when u could still bring dogs into bars in Nola

I love this place. Great neighborhood feel, great bartenders, reasonable drink prices. People here are so friendly.

This is a cool dive bar and also has some pinball and arcade games in it. The drinks were fairly inexpensive and the patrons and staff were good as well!

Nice neighborhood bar with really cheap drinks. I think doubles are like $ 4 or somewhere around there. Great place to go to hang out, drink and talk with friends.
p. s.: There’s a courtyard in the back. The owner doesn’t have it furnished or lit, so you can’t really do much back there, but it is accessible through the door in the back room. Try it next time you’re there.

A very smokey neighborhood bar… with great pinball machines. Cheap drinks and no frills. Fun for afternoon drinking.

Absolutely love this bar!
It’s quite difficult in my findings to land myself in an Irish Pub that I do not like. Seriously, it seems like there’s this spirit that lies within a good Irish joint that makes them all pretty special in their own way, and Mick’s is no exception. All of the bartenders are awesome, and drinks are hella cheap, much like every other Irish pub in the city. Perhaps that’s why I am so fond of them.
Mick’s sports a surprising amount of games effeciently located about the bar that does not interrupt the flow of the place at all. There’s arcades, pinball, a pool table, shuffle board, darts, and there use to be a ping pong table but it wasn’t there the last time I was in.
One of the things I love most about Mick’s is their lounging accomodations. I’m a huge fan of big, plushy, comfy couches in bars. There’s also always free sandwiches. Last time I was in, there were cupcakes. I’ve never been to Mick’s where there was not something free to grub on sitting on the table up front. They really look out for the patrons here.
Holler at my girl Liz if you catch her working, she’s awesome.
Great place for great times, cheers!

We hit some major traffic in I-​10 on our way into Nola for my friend’s bachlor party, so I pulled out my trusty Unilocal app to find a nice bar to start drinking at while traffic subsided. Mick’s got great reviews and was close in proximity to the highway, so we popped in. We were not disappointed! First off, they have a solid draught beer selection for what some might consider a «dive bar.» Being from Chicago, we wanted to try some Abita and Nola selections; they had plenty. We also did some shots and finished our night pounding some delicious (but hangover inducing) rum punches! Drinks here are dirt cheap; probably cheaper than almost any bar I’ve visited in Chicago. Also, the bartenders are quick and don’t dilly dally behind bar.
The atmosphere here is hard to beat. It’s like an arcade for adults. We chose to hang in the back room — having it all to ourselves for a good three hours until the bar got more packed. We watched Thursday Night Football on the tvs, played shuffleboard, darts, and cheap pinball! Others just chilled on the couches. The gamblers dabbled in the slots.
To add to the juiciness, there is free food! And it’s tasty! We were intially suspect of the ham and cheese melts, but once tasted, we realized they were delicious. Fresh French bread and perfectly melted cheese. I must have had at least six of those little babies.
If you’re ever in Nola, make sure to make the trek over to Mick’s!

The only bar in New orleans you need. I found this place in 2014 and it’s been heaven sense. The bartenders are all awesome and drink prices are fantastic and made with care. Mike sobol the cheery bartender is always fun to talk to and cooks damn good food that’s on the house to all customers. If your in nola this is a must see spit for great drinks great crowds and the true culture of new orleans.

A non mp3 jukebox? Score! A room for table/​board games? Score! 3 pinball machines? yeah, but only one seems to be kept up and playable. Id love to see some working, possibly newer pinball at this place. Stern pinball makes quite a few awesome tables. Just sayin’…
Anyway, bartenders are always attentive and polite. No douchers in the house either.

I have been here 4 times. All 4 times I got totally obliterated. There is something about this place, that clicks just right, drinks come quick enough and so conducive to conversation, that its so easy to get carried away. And apparently I get carried away alot here. I think its the bartenders too. All super cool to me.
They have a decent menu, by the looks of the burger a friend got once, looked very tasty. I haven’t had anything to eat here yet but I am sure I will eventually. BTW, you pay for the food separate from your drink tab at the time you receive the food.
There is a bunch of things to do in here also besides drink. Pool, darts, cards, curling, pinball, driving and regular retro video games. And the typical counter top Maxx games. There is a cool jukebox with a nice selection.
Its an easy place to get too. Parking can kinda suck because the area is not well lit at night, so lone ladies should have someone meet them outside. Its a dog friendly bar too.
I seen the free food people have mentioned before, I haven’t partaken in any of it.
Great place to bring a date, the cocktails are also very very stiff and the prices are more than reasonable. Can get a lil smokey but its a bar so I deal with it.
Love this place

Man! I hadn’t been to Mick’s since before the storm but I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped in the other night with some friends.
They have updated the place and it looks a little different, but it’s still got that Mick’s vibe and feel. Drinks are still dirt cheap and the bar is still full of locals, most living in Mid-​City, myself included. Most were chain-​smokers though, so a few of us were forced to flee several times through the night to go outside to gasp for some air.
Love the comfy couches and the arcade they still have. Brought back a lot of fond memories.
Point off for their cleanliness factor. Floors were sticky (not Nick’s sticky for any old New Orleanians) and bathroom left much to be desired. Have no idea why the women’s bathroom was propped open the entire time. And of course, one of the stalls had a broken latch. There was nothing that looked dirty; it was more the general feeling of the place. Definitely a place where you don’t want to touch anything that’s not yourself. Including the frosty yet slightly dusty beer.
Place is dog-​friendly. People were there with their dogs– although I’m not sure how much you’ve decreased the poor animals’ lives by submitting them to all that 2^nd hand smoke. I’ve seen less smoke coming out of the refineries by the Spillway.

Typical NOLA neighborhood bar. If you live in the hood I lived in this hood I’m sure I’d be here all of the time. The bartender was good although I’m used to a little more Genius with my Irish Car Bombs, but that’s a personal thing. Again, typical NOLA neighborhood bar.

Great dive bar. Pretty nice bartenders. Hipsters mind their own business without looking over their black rimmed non prescriptive eye glasses wondering why non hipsters are there.

Our bars are not the same as bars in most other cities. Our bars have character and have characters. This is one of those such bars. Mick’s is a great neighborhood bar full of locals that will make your time here very enjoyable.
This is a kick-​ass bar that loves their customers enough to serve free food four days a week! I also love that they have a ping-​pong table and arcade games. The jukebox is one of the better ones too.
The only reason I’m not giving this bar 5 stars is because it is sometimes too much for me if lots of people lighting up here.

First of all, Mick’s is about as Irish as Dim Sum. It’s a neighborhood bar, about as neighborhood bar– bar could get. I mean you can’t find this place unless you know exactly where it is. Which happens to be 6 blocks from home. Mick’s is the exact bar Frank Ricard (you know, Will Farrell’s character in Old School) would open up. In fact, Old School producers probably based a good portion of their movie here.
Mick’s has a lay out of a frat house bar room. A front room that is the bar and pool table, the back room that is the couches, darts and ping pong table. They have several video games, not the least of which being Fish Tales pinball (how long did I spend on that game in uni?), and a combo machine that has Dig Dug, Galaga, Pac men and Burger Time!!! These frat house necessities will cost you all of ¢25.
Now we are a frat house and as college kids we don’t have any money really. So lets charge $ 2-​$ 4 for beer and $ 3.50 for well drinks. And lets make sure pretty much any shot is not over a fiver. Also, lets make sure we stay open for, for, for well Hell do we have to close?
So these are things I like, nay, love about this frat bar. Unfortunately, as frats go, cleaning is not really in their lexicon. It has a serious tactile ick factor. The bar maids are well, they get you your drinks, lets just leave it at that. The patrons, er um, well you know, they like to drink and stuff. The juke box is ok, but it has too much cringe worthy frat rock that I just can not endorse.
In closing, I would simply like to say; «PAAANNNTTTYYYYYY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIDDDDD».

Mick’s is one of my favorite bars in the entire city.
I used to live a few blocks from this bar, back when I lived on the 4300 block of Bienville pre-​K. Now I live out in the Marigny, and I miss it so much.
Mick’s is cheap as hell, and I love the set-​up. You can always find somewhere to sit, which is a huge plus. I hate standing around in a bar with a beer in my hand and my (other) thumb up my ass feeling uncomfortable. That doesn’t happen at Mick’s. The front room has a really long bar plus tables, and in the back/​slightly upstairs section there are couches and more tables and chairs.
I miss what it looked like pre-​K, but I guess that’s neither here nor there. The back looks the same, though.
They have pool, darts, arcade games, and ping-​pong, but I usually don’t play anything except the Let’s Get Drunk and Nostalgic game.
Dang, just thinking about Mick’s makes me want to go out there. I might have to do that this week… gonna be kind of difficult since I don’t have a car, but I guess that’s good, since that means I can get drunk as I wanna and not worry about driving home.
Oh and lots of times they have free food.

I like Mick’s it’s a cool place to hangout with friends and chat on the couches or play a few arcade games FOR CHEAP. It’s not like the old Mick’s pre Katrina (it’s a bit updated now) but it still has that Mid City joint vibe. We actually went there the day it re-​opened after Katrina and the laquer smell was still fresh in the air. I also agree that it’s better than Fins and is always by «go to» place after a long St. Patrick’s Day on magazine. Somehow we always wind up here.
Overall I think Mick’s is a cool place to hang.
