Red Door Lounge

This place is terrible!!! Please don’t waste your money here. I personally witnessed rude and mean comments made by staff. Nasty people and bar.

Not a friendly place. Lacks atmosphere and the bar tenders not friendly. Have tired this place a few times thinking it was just one bad expereince but everytme the bartenders busy talking to a friend and trying to ignore anyone new that comes and dares order a drink. The regulars have a habit of staring you down and acting like you invaded their space even though you are sitting two stools down. This place is always 30% fool it seems.
Much better bars within walking distance. very little going for the Red Door other than being close to the ice cream store and taco place! which both are pretty good by the way…

Love this bar!!! Really cool and friendly staff. Nice place to stop after work/​in the evening and have a beer/​cocktail, take a breather without all the hustle and bustle. Pretty clean spot but, it is an open air bar, so on those hot humid rainy Nola nights, there can be some flying visitors!

I love this place especially TIFFANY she’s the !!! Clasp come and try their 35 shot, if complete you get a bad ass shirt.

Red Door conveniently located by a restaurant I like.
I go in and order a Tito’s Vodka on the rocks.
Bartender rings up:
1 Tito’s — $ 5.00
Add rocks — $ 1.00
Seriously.
LOL

A local favorite! Darts, pool, all that jazz.

Red door is a true bar. Shotgun style with a long bar as you enter, juke box and pool table toward the back. Pleasant bartenders and a midcity crowd. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying their cold bev after a long week of work.
Theyre located next to Venezia’s (my fav italian place) so you could order an awesome homemade pizza and then go next door for a cold one (free draft Unilocal check in) next door.
Ask for the bartender, Veronica, if you find yourself there and enjoy some great conversation and relax.

I seen this bar but never really felt like venturing in. I came here a couple of nights ago after I left another bar.
The bartender lady was really friendly and very helpful with me. I will admit that the booze here is not as cheap as some of the other bars in the area. The selection is okay I guess, not quiet a wide variety but still a few good gems in the mix.
Believe it or not this place does Unilocal deals. You can get one free domestic beer of your choice when you check in. This was the very first time I used a Unilocal deal. I will definitely have to hit this place up more.
This bar is tiny not much room in it. They have the bar area, and a pool table. They also have a touch tunes Juke box. The best thing about this place is that it is located by so many fine eateries.
In short a great location, kickass juke box, awesome Unilocal deal, but very limited on space.

Great list of shots and daily drink specials. Too bright to be a dive.

A solid neighborhood hood bar that is very centrally located in Mid-​City, which makes it a great place to meet up at the beginning or end of the night. The pool tables and darts will give you something to do if enjoying the reasonably priced beers — and extensive shot list — isn’t for you. The bartenders are typically excellent and attentive, and I always have a good time when ever I am here.
I have to say — my favorite thing about this bar is the Jukebox. For whatever reason, it’s filled with all kinds of death metal and other kick-​ass stuff that you normally don’t find. Obviously, this isn’t for everyone, and you can expect it to get vetoed at some point.
Would recommend, and will return. This is a nice laid back place to grab a few beers.

One night as i was leaving Wit’s End I looked across the street and exclaimed (to no one in particular): «look, there’s another bar». That bar just happened to be the Red Door Lounge so I crossed Canal and gave it a try.
The bar is long and narrow. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I find bars like that are difficult to maneuver when filled with people. Lucky for me the bar was nearly empty so I was able to move freely.
The bartender was friendly, and service was prompt. The beer selection was decent and prices seemed fair. I would probably classify it as a dive, but it seemed too well lit to be considered for full dive status.
If you’re in Mid-​City and want a narrow, somewhat divey bar, check out Red Door.

Walked here from Canal street. Bartender was good. They offer a wide selection of specialty shots, including the Lindsey Lohan (a redheads slut with Coke) for $ 5.
Music was all rock and heavy metal the night I went, no rap at all.
Not a bad experience, the bartender was attentive.

I live 2 blocks from here and go here at least 2 times a month. They recently did some interior upgrades, new granite bar, new paint, etc… so it is a lot nicer than it was a few months ago, which took my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. Cheap pitchers of beer, bartenders that remember your drink (and put a bag of ice in the top of your pitcher to keep your beer cold), low-​key local crowd… they also usually have the satellite radio 90’s throwback rock station on so some good sing-​alongs pop up randomly (4 Non-​Blondes and Sublime anyone??)… you can’t go wrong here.

Kind of dark, divey local bar. Just my kind of place. It’s a great place to meet up with friends and have a cheap beer. They keep Abita’s seasonals on hand (like any good New Orleans bar) and are generally a friendly bunch. Definitely populated with locals, but they like their visitors too.

This place is just a long narrow space with a long narrow bar. You can play pool, listen to the jukebox, and drink cheap drinks. The color scheme is red just like the door… well maybe more of a deep burgundy but that’s just splitting hairs. There ALWAYS seem to be people in this joint and I think it might stay open ²⁴⁄₇. I’ve never done more than grab a few drinks in here when eating at one of the several area restaurants but service has always been good and it seems like a decent place to just hang out.

I love this place! However, I may be biased. That little Asian man who owns the place is my uncle (in law). We come here at least once a week. It’s the cheapest bar in the area and, until recently, the only place to serve buckets of beer. It only has one pool table but everyone is pretty good at sharing as long as you play them for it! The juke box has everything from mellancamp to gaga and you’re bound to hear an amazing mix if you stay there long enough. The bartenders make an effort to remember you and you will meet quite a few characters Aka regulars. We adore this place and even had our «after after reception» here in the courtyard. Make plans to catch Endymion at this bar. It’s got the best view of the parade, the only daiquiris for miles, and a bumping sound system operated by my husband.

My friends come here all the time to shoot pool. It’s kind of dark and narrow, as any good dive ought to be. Inexplicably there is a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Haven’t explored the juke box but I like what I’ve heard… the whole place has a chill local vibe.
Good central location to meet up Mid-​City and grab a beer, from this spot on Carrolton it’s easy to head pretty much anywhere.

So I’ve been coming here steadily, probably at least once a week, since I wrote this first review… and the second time I visited, a bartender looked at me and said, «Hey, did you write something about us online?» He recognized me and remembered my name… as well as my drink! (Whiskey sour, or when I feel like mixing it up, a Tom Collins).
Since then, both he and the other bartender (it’s usually one of the two) have always remembered my drink, recognize my friends (who watch the football games here – they have tailgates with free food for the Saints games) and their Red Stripes. The owner, I think, is this friendly Asian dude who’s always chatting it up as well. This spot is seriously such an awesome hangout, with colorful locals and the occasional fratty group looking for somewhere to cheer on LSU.
