One of my favorite bars in the city, the main reason is because its CHEAP. This is one of the few places in town where you can get a longneck for $ 1.50. The atmosphere is always out there if you know what I mean and the later it gets the more out there it gets. I like that they have outdoor seating like many of the bars have these days since the indoor smoking ban. They often have a food truck nearby also to get your grub on. This is one of my regular stops when I am in the area.

One of the best places I’ve been too. It’s my version of Cheers, everybody know everybody and it’s all good here. Pool tables, table hockey, good cheap drinks, and fun times. It makes me want to move back home.

How have I never reviewed Maes? When This is my home away from home? Air hockey? Check pool table? Check Cheap drinks? Super duper check. Blackouts? Guaranteed. This place is cash only and will have a strange assortment of characters from bikers, to yuppies, poor folk, college kids, French quarter crazies, locals and tourist. They have an atm. Get started

Love this dirty nola bar. Cheap ass drinks, great bar tenders, and there’s always characters inside.

It’s probably a good thing that drinks are served in disposal cups. This place is a true dirty dive bar, and the bartenders are pretty rude, so know exactly what you want before stepping up to the bar. Drinks of cheap though, and tne music can be fun. Walked into the bathroom and walked right back out… it’s pretty disgusting. If you want to experience a dive, and cheap drinks during a pup crawl… its ok to add this to the list.

As a dive bar, this is it. Drinks are unbelievable cheap. Bartender was great. Lots of beer and spirit options. They definitely need to fix the bathroom which makes you feel like you contracted a disease when you enter it. They need more food options other than potato chips to match the level of drinking that goes on here. If you love dive bars, don’t miss this one… but bring a buddy in case you need to be carried out.

Not sure why you’d go here if you are older than 22 or are just desperate for cheap drinks. The bar was packed with college-aged students and while it’s true the drinks are very cheap, I was turned off by the geriatric snappy bouncer who complained to my friend over something trivial. Maybe said dude was stressed out, but still, bro. If I wanted dirt cheap drinks I’d return here, but there are too many bars out there in Nola for me to rush back. Plus, I value good customer service, which wasn’t on-par tonight at Ms. Mae’s.

Can’t get better for a dive bar. Great prices for drinks. They have pool and air hockey. Cash only and have a valid state issues ID or your not getting in the door.

Not the cleanest place you could walk into within the city of New Orleans, and definitely not the dirtiest. Very chill atmosphere. Few pool tables, a pinball game, gambling machines, and cheap drinks!!!; everything you could be looking for in an establishment in the uptown area.

Inexpensive drinks but very young crowd hangs out there. Which means it can be SUPER annoying to hang around.

It’s a hole in the wall, but it’s been my hole in the wall joint for many, many years. Oh man, so much craziness, just, disgusting, beautiful, life-decision-making-times have happened here throughout the years, I’m amazed at how far I’ve(really we’ve, because my friends included) come. For ages, i could not figure out how this place makes any money due to the fact that the drinks are probably the cheapest on Earth. I then heard through the grapevine that the slots and, believe it or not, the pool table brings in much of their revenue. I’ve seen so many things go down at this bar, if I even began to recant them, this review would never end. There are a couple things I’ll mention tho. 1. If you pass out drunk, they will take pictures of you and post them, forever, to the wall of shame on their website. 2. NOASSESONTHEPOOLTABLE. 3. Zach is their best bartender, no offense to Tank and Sean, you guys rock, too! There are two other bartenders who work here whose names I do not know, but those dudes have major attitude problems. It’s almost weird how the rudest people get to keep their jobs sometimes. Don’t get it. I usually won’t drink if they’re working. The regulars know who I’m talking about. Great place for cheap booze and spawning ground for a weekend full of regretful decisions.

I’m happy to have been coming here for a long time. Way before Rob Ryan made it famous. It’s dirty and smelly. Get over it. It’s REAL nola. Bartenders are tough. Patrons are weary from work and want to get hammered. Juke box is jamming. Very few tourists. Well drinks are TWOBUCKS. Come here. Be happy. Get drunk. Fall in love with nola(again).

One of my favorites!!! I’ve been going to this place for yearrrrrrssss! I’ve never had a bad experience. I even met Ms. Mae once, lol. It never closes, it’s divey, has a jukebox, cheap liquor, and air hockey. I always make a trip here whenever I come home. Some of my best memories and nights have been here!

The only reasons to go to Ms. Mae’s is to get 19th century priced alcoholic drinks and to play air hockey 24 hours a day. It’s certainly a dive bar and sitting down anywhere is questionable. I have had a lot of fun nights getting drinks upon dranks upon drunks. Many college(and post grad) nights have started and/or ended here because it was what we could afford. You would think it would be full of poor twenty somethings, but apparently old people are broke too because this place has a mix of ages. You can be a baller on a budget and offer to buy a round for your six friends! Got a twenty? Awesome, you’ll need room in your pockets for change.

Cheap drinks, great location and open 24 hours… what’s there not to love? This is a bar so people will be smoking but it’s also a great hole in the wall with incredibily cheap drinks. Vodka — $ 3, PBR — $ 1.50, Crown — $ 4…awesome sauce! Definitely stop in for a drink if you’re in the neighborhood. We were there on a Tuesday night and a group of Christmas carolers came in to sing to everyone. Quite a nice treat and a huge surprise to everyone.

The Club, Ms Mae’s. Cheap as sh*t, rough around the edges, dirty, used-up, full of drunks of all ages, host of many-a forgotten night and many-an unforgettable night, sort of the bar correlation of gonorrhea, awesome area, smokey, creepy gambling machines, creepy people hanging out outside, exceeds its unassuming name. In a word: Ooohhhhhh. Make way for Ms Mae’s. It’ll stick with you.

I will admit that I have been here a few times, but it is not a bar that I would consider being a regular at. Yes like a lot of people touched base on they have cheap drinks. They are also open 24⁄7. It wasn’t really the shady crowd that bothered me about this place but the dress code. I don’t know weather or not they still enforce that or not because I haven’t been back in like 3 years. The other thing that bothers me about this place is the fact that this place draws in a lot of lowlifes. Yes I have seen quiet a few bad things go on out here. For example I saw a guy get the shit beat out of him for no reason and all while a NOPD squad car drove by and didn’t even stop. Yes that is one of the many things I saw there. I used to walk by this place at 4:30 — 5:00 in the morning on my way to work. Just a word to the wise its not a safe place to be by yourself during that time of day. In short this place is alright for a tourist or a college student but please make damn sure that you don’t go into that place alone!

I’m going to be cranky & «get off my lawn”-ish.but I miss the old Ms Mae’s location(where St. Joe’s) is now. Yeah, it’s 24⁄7 and the drinks are cheap. But I don’t know th vibe is just off for me. However this bar affords AWESOME people watching, especially if you’re headed someplace super early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and you’re watching the drunks spilling out on to the sidewalk.

It’s alright! It’s a. Cheap. b Full of charactaz and c. Open 24 hours. For all of the above, I’d possible come back, but most likely c. cuz I’m more of a fan of the environment at Buddha Belly across the street(what? they have this side patio… and washing machines!) Gotta give props to Ms Mae’s for«always being there,» even during a hurricane. It’s not especially my scene — I’m pretty sure there isn’t a decent wine on the list, let’s put it that way… Definitely a place to just get a cheap a$$ drink late at night.

Excellent dive bar. Cheap, cheap, cheap! Open 24 hours! You can get 2 beers on tap for 6 bucks… Good beers! Or top shelf cocktails for 4 bucks a pop… Good juke box, air hockey, pool table Great place to have a pop or three before going to see a show at Tipitinas. Win, Win, Win…
