    Burger with cheddar and bacon. Fully dressed. Comes with fries.

    Best burger in the quarter hands down. Chill vibes. Good service. Clean bathroom. Lovely courtyard.

    a hamburger and onion rings

    It was raining hard and we had to find somewhere close to eat. Burgers cooked to order- yes! But alas - no. My husband ordered the Sweet Corn Bites and some fries and he liked them. I ordered a burger medium rare and it was a little more done than medium. If it would have been cooked to medium rare it would have been very good. The onion rings were not good. They had the doors open so it was cold inside. But the worst part is they allow smoking because of the gambling machines. So the wind from the door kept blowing smoke in my face. We didn't know this until right before the food came. The bartenders were great.

    Definitely has a neighborhood bar vibe, tucked away in the French Quarter. You know it has a good burger when the local service industry folks go there, after a shift to grab a burger. Service was super friendly, there were 5 of us stopping for a quick lunch. Seating at the bar and ordering at the bar, pretty easy rules to follow. Burgers were good and a great price for coming with fries. 2 of us ordered peanut butter, with a $1 up charge so it would have been nice to have a good smear of peanut butter verses a light coating on the bun. This is an annual trip for us, so next year we will definitely stop back again.

    Great Irish bar across the street from Pat O'briens. My boyfriend and I came here after a recommendation from a friend back home. Glad we stopped in! My boyfriend has an "orange tic tac shot" which he really enjoyed. I had some shots of Skrewball. To eat we shared boudin egg rolls. They were delish!!! Although fried, they didn't taste heavy at all. There was yummyness in every bite. Mike, the bartender was wonderful! Kept great conversation and greeted everyone as they walked in. He even put on the hockey game for us on one of the TVs when we asked. There's also some outdoor seating in the courtyard in the back. We will be back!

    Right across from Pat O'Brien's is Finnegan's Easy -- an Irish pub with the aesthetic of some of the pubs we have experienced during our trips to Ireland. A narrow passage for walking between the bar counter and high-top seating leads to a small but spacious courtyard in the back, with a heavy emphasis on Jameson varietals on display. We did wait a good few minutes for drinks since there was only one bartender on duty when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. I don't think having only one behind the bar was the norm, but the time felt longer waiting until the bartender finally was able to take our drink order after fulfilling the others around us who had been there before. Still, we had a nice buzz from the Jameson Black Barrel and ginger we ordered as the football matches played on the TV screens while we were there. The atmosphere is lovely, and the buzz is even better if you can get a drink sooner than later.

    A great experience

    We are regulars at our pub Finnegan's in Delray Beach Florida so when we were walking by on our vacation I told my wife we have to go in . I am extremely happy we did, the bartender came up and was extremely pleasant and ready to give us many options. Antonio was the best , he actually got my wife to try exotic beers and different drinks we have not tried at our local pub . Thank you Antonio for a once in a lifetime experience at a new pub. Let them recommend a new drink and experience something new . Great place to try in town .

    We decided to have dinner here after our folks completed their ride on Thoth. The guys were hungry since they hadn't eaten all day. We chose Finnegan's because we were there the night before and the staff had recommended their kitchen. Menu looked good so we go. Well the menu in the restaurant had several items on the small menu marked out as not available. Not unusual in todays environment. We were told it might take a bit, they are slow. Ok, we get that and tell the bartender we are ordering drinks and apps to Tues us over and ordering meals. We order the apps and they come out quickly! The SW egg rolls are good! The problem came in getting our order in for dinner.. the bartenders friends came in, she took all their orders, ignored us until they went to the patio to sit down and finally took our order. We said we understood and tried to be patient. Her friends say behind us and got there in a reasonable time. Our food took two hours, two meals at a time and burnt!! There were 8 of us and half the table still didn't have food after two hours! The fries were the only part of the meal we can say was good. Wings and fish were burnt badly! Burgers were eh, and by the time the chicken strips were delivered in a to go box!! I guess seating is limited to 2.5hours. The bartender got ugly when I asked for the check, still short two meals. I said we need the meals and intend to eat them there but I want to close the bill. After three times of saying "No, I am not canceling the last two meals, I just want to close the tab" she told me "I will regret talking to her like that!" At that point the same person that told us about having a kitchen the night before, stepped in and apologized. He said he cares about the place and customers and took four of the meals off and offered some free seltzers. Seemed really nice. Mean while the bartender told the kitchen we wanted the remaining meals to go! We finished what was eatable, paid and left. We went some where else for those still hungry. We won't be back but the fries were good and Jerry is trying. Just watch out for the lively young lady in her underwear behind the bar. Especially when her friends come in. Sounds like she will cut you!

Let me tell you... these wings were . Some of the best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside . I honestly wish we had a place like this back home in Cali.

When we walked in the hostess hardly acknowledged us. I asked if we could sit at the bar and she said yes so we walked over. The bar was full so we went back and asked if we could do a table instead. She laughed in our face and looked at us like we were crazy or inconveniencing her. And she was lounging on the bench on her phone, not even behind the counter to greet guests. There were tons of empty tables that hadn't even been cleaned off yet so we just sat at the cleanest one that at least didn't have dishes on it. It took FOREVER for a waitress to even come to us and take our order. After we placed our orders I think our waitress sensed that we were not having a good time so she apologized for the wait and was very kind and pleasant compared to the hostess. I wanted to try the pepper jack boudin egg-rolls. My boyfriend got the fried local shrimp. I did not like the boudin egg-roll. It was fried very hard and I wasn't the biggest fan of the boudin sausage but I wanted to try it because I never had it. You win some you some. I just ended up eating my boyfriend's shrimp because it had taken so long to get our food that the kitchen was basically getting ready to close so I didn't order anything else. Soooo yea. Not my go to choice for a bar. They did have these cool movie theatre style lounge chair in front of the big screen though so that was cool.

Located right at St. Charles & Carrollton on the streetcar line, it's super easy to get to and always buzzing in the best way. The drink options are endless--great cocktails, frozen margaritas, beer by the glass or pitcher, and a huge variety of beers to choose from. TVs are everywhere, making it a perfect spot to catch sporting events, meet up with friends, or just hang out solo. The vibe is low-key, casual, and welcoming--no frills, just a consistently good time. I also love that they're open 11 AM to 1 AM, seven days a week, which is clutch no matter the day or occasion. And finding out they've been around since 1977 just adds to the charm and legacy. If you're looking for great happy hour options, strong cocktails, classic New Orleans eats, and an Uptown spot where you can relax and connect with friends, Cooter Brown's always delivers. Definitely one of those places that never goes out of style. A true NOLA staple.

But if you wanna grub and watch a game? I would come to Walk-On's every week if it was near my house. Lots of TVs. Food comes out of the kitchen fast. The mozzarella "logs" are magnificent, and absolutely terrible for you...but not any worse than the doughnut bread pudding, built on actual Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which almost left me with a heart attack. The waffle fries were great every night. (The burger? Not as great.) The prices for a bourbon "double" pour are very fair, much more so than the prices in other cities I hit on a regular basis. The wings, I am told, are solid. There is a general sense that everyone on staff is hustling, based on my three visits there this week, even when the space wasn't that crowded. I will be back for future Jazzfests!

My salad was smallish and looked pretty wimpy but the dressing was real nice and I liked the nuts on the salad. The standout for me, by far was the French Onion Soup. It was the second best I've ever had. The onions were well caramelized, the broth was deep with flavor and the cheese great. The portion was quite large as well.
