Visiting New Orleans from Pennsylvania over the Fourth of July, we asked a few locals near our hotel where we could find a true neighborhood dive bar. Every road seemed to lead to Erin Rose, and they absolutely nailed it. This place has everything you want in a dive bar--cold drinks, zero pretentiousness, and a crowd that makes you at home. The bartenders were the real stars of the show. Super engaging, quick with a drink, and happy to chat. We ended up getting a fun history lesson on Vodoo and she made the experience even more memorable. The biggest surprise? There's an incredible po'boy spot tucked in the back, so you can grab tasty sandwich a few steps from your barstool. If you're looking to skip the tourist traps and experience a genuine New Orleans neighborhood bar, this is the spot. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

I always love stopping by here to get a frozen coffee. The bar is typically pretty full, so I usually take the drink and then walk the streets with it since it's so nice and cold and refreshing. The bartenders are pretty fast so you don't have to wait too long to get your drink. They also have Po boys and a grilled cheese that is sold in the back part of the bar and the food is pretty good actually. read more

I love Erin Rose! It is one of the must stop places anytime we're in New Orleans. They have the best frozen Irish coffee, with or without an additional floater on top. We did not eat while we were there this time, but we have taken advantage of the killer Poboy in the past, which are delicious. The bar staff is working hard and doing a great job! A little bit dark inside, people typically flow from inside out onto the street and you can talk to your friends through the open windows. If you're in the market for a new hoodie, they also have super cute sweatshirts! read more

Erin Rose is a for sure stop whenever we head to New Orleans. It has the famous frozen Irish coffee that looks like a chocolate milkshake. Our crew of 10 walked in and everyone had one and raved about it. The bar is just off bourbon street and is a classic for the locals and tourists. The bar is small and cozy and has that "old Nola" feel. The staff are always nice and if you like frozen Irish coffee this is your place. They have regular drinks and full bar as well. They also serve po boys from Killers Po Boys! read more

Erin Rose came highly recommended to me as someone's favorite bar in New Orleans. I'm not a regular bar goer, but I figured this gave me an excuse to brave the crowds on Bourbon Street. The bar is very small, just a small hole-in-the-wall with a strip of bar space and just enough walkway for people to shoulder through. I could see why my colleague recommended this tiny bar, though. The service and atmosphere were top notch. When I, a short Asian lady with voice weak from traveling all day, struggled to push past, one customer kindly helped alert and make room. The bartender was very sweet, taking time to make sure I was being attended to. I had the frozen Irish coffee, which the bar is known for. It wasn't fancy cocktail, but it was perfect on a hot humid night for a total lightweight like me. It paired well with the poboy I got from Killer Poboys in the back of the bar. This is a spot I would've lived in as a twenty two year old. Music was good but the bar was fairly crowded. I would visit again for another frozen Irish coffee and add the peanut butter whiskey next time. read more

I felt right at home here at Erin Rose. It's a straight up dive. It's a bit trashy looking but lots of fun. They're known for their Frozen Irish Coffees. It's a great ice creamy, buzzy beverage that'll make you want to come back the next day and have another or two. It was busy on a Wednesday evening but the bartender dude was hustling so there really wasn't much of a wait to get drinks. I'm really looking forward to another visit so I'm calling this a 5 star experience. read more

This was a must stop on our trip since I had seen so many videos of the frozen Irish coffee. It did not disappoint at all! It was a quick in and out stop for us so I can't say too much on the vibe. It was packed, but we were able to get a drink quickly, and I wish we would have gotten two! The frozen irish coffee was $8 and they have a $10 minimum on cards, so I just got a bottle water as well which the bartender offered. The coffee is delicious. I could have drank 10. read more

It took me a minute to sit down and write this. This is your neighborhood bar that pours an incredible Guinness and had a good flow of tourists. I was a tourist who truly felt like family when I left a week later. So many great conversations. So great people watching. But the staff were incredible. Especially Tessa. She hand wrote me a list of local bars to hit up and I'm eternally grateful because I wanted local this trip. Go to the Erin Rose. You will not be disappointed. It's a hug in a Guinness glass. read more

Came here randomly as they were a place a local said we could find a good po boy and watch football. Downfall is there is limited seating. This is def a dive bar with punk vibes ( nothing wrong with that) you have the main bar on the left. Then there are small seats up against a wall. Walk on through the back area where you order food. Theres one semi long table to sit and eat. Funny story was we came there with the mindset on po boy, but ended up eating the whiskey bourbon grilled cheese. It was really good. Glad i did not get any sides. We both filled up with this sandwich. We literally could split one on our own. We saved them for later. Their restrooms are so small. I felt like i was on an airplane bathroom. Idk what it is about restrooms in the french quarter but why so small? How aren't any of you clausterphobic? I did enjoy their decor!! read more

Soooo, this time wasn't so good as far as my review goes. I couldn't wait to get my hands on their famous frozen coffee here on a Friday night during Mardi Gras. There was a short line to get in and you had to show ID at the door no questions asked! If you didn't have your id you weren't getting in and rightfully so. It was tight getting in here as you can imagine. We ordered the classic and famous frozen Irish coffee and it was a complete letdown. It was watery and they failed to tell us the machine was broken. Had we know that we wouldn't have ordered them. The female bartender in there wasn't very pleasant but I gave her a break considering what they must go through during Mardi Gras. We still drank our watered coffee and then left. It was mad jammed in there so we couldn't wait to get out of there lol. Maybe next time. read more

Really cool dive bar just off Bourbon St. A local bartender recommended we go here, and it didn't disappoint. This place was packed midday on a Saturday. The frozen irish coffee with a shot of Jameson was awesome. The Beef Po'Boy was amazing! It tasted very similar to a Chicago beef. Really a flavorful mix of savory and salty beef with the pickled veggies. Definitely a worthwhile place to give a try. read more

Erin Rose is an absolute gem nestled in Bourbon Street.. a vibrant, iconic Irish pub that offers an unforgettable experience from the moment you walk through its doors. It's the kind of place that has become more than just a bar; it's a local institution, bursting with character, charm, and that unmistakable New Orleans spirit. The drink selection is impressive, especially for what some might call a "dive bar." They offer a variety of well-crafted beverages including the legendary Frozen Irish Coffee, an absolute must-try, and Iconic Bloody Marys. Their whiskey list is extensive, featuring an excellent range of Irish whiskeys, and yes, they have Guinness on tap, alongside local favorites like Abita Brewing Co.'s craft selections. We visited Erin Rose twice during our three-day stay in New Orleans, and both times were an absolute delight. The Frozen Irish Coffee alone is worth the visit, it's creamy, perfectly balanced, and surprisingly refreshing in the humid Louisiana heat. We decided to enhance it with an extra shot of Jameson (highly recommended), which brought the total to just $10. Not only was it delicious, but it came in a reusable plastic cup, perfect for strolling the streets of the French Quarter with drink in hand, because yes, it's New Orleans. What really makes Erin Rose stand out, though, is its ambience. The walls and ceiling are covered with layers of memories, eclectic memorabilia, heartfelt messages, quirky decorations, each telling a piece of the story of the countless patrons who've passed through over the years. You can truly feel the history here. There's even a cheeky mention of the "secret" Frozen Irish Coffee recipe hidden somewhere inside if you're observant enough (hint: check the walls!). Although we originally hoped to try a po'boy from the tucked-away kitchen in the back, the line was too long and chaotic during our visit around 2 p.m. After 20 minutes with no movement, we decided to skip it. But honestly, that didn't take away from the experience, we were there for the drinks and the vibes, and both exceeded expectations. Service at the bar was also impressive. Despite how packed it gets (and it does get packed), the bartenders are attentive, friendly, and efficient. Even during peak hours, they make eye contact, acknowledge you, and get your order out fast, and they do it all with a smile and zero attitude. Tip them well, they deserve it! Erin Rose is the kind of place that stays with you. Sure, you can try to recreate the Frozen Irish Coffee at home (and I've included a photo of the recipe in my review!), but the ambiance, the energy, and the community you feel while sitting at this bar can't be replicated. Whether you're a local or a first-time visitor, this pub should absolutely be on your must-visit list in New Orleans. We'll definitely be back, it's that kind of bar that makes you feel like you belong, even if it's just for a short while. read more

If you love Irish Whiskey and a true dive bar aura, this is the spot. They have a massive selection and some of the best 'Morning Libations' in the city. No lie, the Irish Whiskey Coffee here is elite. The Frozen Irish Coffee is my personal favorite because they don't skimp on the alcohol, and the coffee flavor is spot on. It's a French Quarter staple for a reason! read more

Popped in for a drink on Saint Paddy's and despite how busy the bar was the service was quick and friendly, 5 stars to the bartenders.

This dive bar came highly recommended and is famous for its frozen Irish Coffee. The place is pretty small and tight inside, and there's also a restaurant, Killer Po'Boys located within the bar. My friends and I came specifically for the Irish Coffee, and I tried the peanut butter flavor made with Skrewball. I forgot to ask for the foam on top (a local recommended it), so definitely get that added! It was so good--and surprisingly strong. If I'm ever back, I'd definitely stop by again to try more drinks. Make sure to check this place out when you visit! read more

Obsessed with this bar! No matter the time of day, it's bursting with locals because the vibes and the drinks are just that good! Highly recommend the frozen Irish coffee with a peanut butter shot. Extremely fair priced and quite addicting! We also tried the shrimp poboy from the shop out back and it was so unique! Gave more of a bahn mi flavor profile than traditional poboys and it was delicious! We also loved that the shrimp wasn't fried. All in all- this is a MUST any time you visit NOLA. read more

During our four day trip to New Orleans, we came here twice with Friends. Apparently, this is their go to place which is completely understandable with how amazing the drink prices are. As they normally visit frequently, they know the staff and everybody just seems pretty low-key and chill. Majority of the bars we went to pretty much look all the same, but all the drink prices are all completely different. I have become obsessed with their coffee slushy drink. This was the second bar I went to and ordered it. This is a great replacement for your morning coffee. If you're on vacation, just go with it. They do have merchandise and we even got a pin for my husband to wear with a dollar bill on it to show that it's his birthday. I guess it's a local thing because it seemed like only the locals knew about it and would wish him a happy birthday. Highly recommend doing this if you are celebrating a birthday or just really need attention. It's a pretty small bar, which is consumed by the bar so there's not much seating behind you. This place does the trick and definitely recommend adding this to one of the many bars you visit during your visit. read more

Come here for the frozen Irish coffee. Stay for the kitschy ambiance and amazing bartenders. Erin Rose has got it going on. It's definitely divey but an absolute must-visit in NOLA. They have a Killer Poboys location in the back room with a limited menu, and it's the perfect bite though you may have trouble finding somewhere to stand or sit and eat your sandwich when they are busy. We managed to just stand by the bar in the backroom and eventually grabbed a couple seats when a couple folks left. The bartender, Tessa I believer her name was, was awesome! We had a great conversation while we sipping our frozen Irish coffees (I recommend getting the peanut butter whiskey in it) and noshed on our fantastic po boys. This was the first place we visited after arriving in NOLA and it was certainly one of our favorites. I will 100% return next time I'm in town! read more
