Pour House - Bourbon

We saw a lot of balconies to people watch on Bourbon St but some were hotels and we guessed for hotel customers only. There were a few clubs that looked rammed that may also have offered the same but we were looking for a spot that was busy but not rammed and we settled on Pour House. Came in for some drinks and people watching. The balcony spot was great, it overlooked a souvenir shop which we saw staff try to stop a theft, some street security try to stare down a bunch of kids and a lot of really drunk people walking around. There was a diagonal balcony trying to get people to flash them and tossing out beads. We could see the buskers and just watched the night devolve from here. The bartender was super friendly. She was super nice. Drinks we're that expensive. However they were pretty water downed and my rum and coke was flat. Solid spot, drinks are mid. read more

My roommate and I came to a burlesque show here recently and had a great time. It was free for starters, and who doesn't love that? The performances were great--all unique and entertaining. There is both indoor and balcony seating and several different bars for service so you don't have to go far to re-up on beverages. I had several of their special sex on the beach syringe shots. Tasty and they got me pretty trashed, I won't lie. Bourbon St isn't where we normally go for a night out but I'd go back to this place, happily. read more

This place is also called Pour House @ Bourbon. We got some good drinks here and you can't beat a $5 breakfast with this view. We were here before the upstairs bartender started so we had to keep going downstairs to order or get things. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is there was a $6+ service charge on our bill. Also the bill we received was itemized so you couldn't tell what you were charged. Seems shady. Best to pay for each round and not leave an open tab. We ordered through the bartender not Uber Eats. read more

This place was great! We were greeted by Bartender names Jess! She was sooo sweet and definitely took care of us. She encouraged us to try this green tea shot and it was really good. They have a music machine that you can pay to play some good music as well. For food we tried the garlic Parmesan fries and lemon pepper wings they were good! They have a restroom upstairs (it's not the best but hey you're in Bourbon... lol so it works). They request you to buy t Keats one drink tk use the restroom... but why wouldn't you when the wait staff is soo sweet! There's also a balcony where you can throw beads from as well. read more

At first i didn't want to go cause i was set on what i wanted but their energy convinced us to come in. Their energy was so captivating and welcoming. She saw that i was hangry and she wanted to make sure that i got some good food and drinks while also giving pleasant compliments.

Started coming to this bar back in 2014 when it was Johnny White's, we'd toggle between the Sports Bar & the Hole in the Wall and spend hours chilling (pause for a moment of silence). This was our 1st trip back since the sale & reno so we had to check it out. I so appreciate that the lay out is still the same just as much as I appreciate how new it is. The jukebox is still cranking, the cheap beers are still flowing and there's still familiar faces around. As for the food, all I can say is Debris Fries, Debris Fries, DEBRIS FRIES!! Tender beef, gravy in all its garlicky goodness on top of crinkle fries, we added grilled onions for a little extra punch. Jon, Brandon & John were awesome! When you wanna take a break from the Bourbon St. crazy, just stop here for a few. read more

I was wandering around the Quarter on Christmas day. Not really headed anywhere. I kept looking at people with drinks and instantly wanted a bloody mary. When the urge hit I was outside Local 718. So I thought it best to go in and order one. Instantly the music was great. 70s 80s soft rock. An eclectic group of people. I was at the right spot. The bloody was soo good. The bartender and patrons were wonderful. Oh and the dog on the bar added the right touch. I left with my bloody and headed to Clover Grill. Got my food and headed right back for another. Next trip I'll be back. read more

Staff is horrible and the manager is even worse. The menu had no description of a sandwich that was mixed with pork. After looking at the sandwich we asked for another item with no pork. The bartender relayed the message to the manager Sara, if that's her real name. Sara said "I'm not issuing a refund because the menu says sausage." (Which is not true!) Then she just walked away and hid the whole night!! After that the bartenders started to get smart with me not knowing what was going on. Theres not enough room to talk about the whole situation in detail. I did record it tho. The sliders were no good either. read more

We were in NOLA for 4 nights and came back to this bar every night. We never ate here so can't speak to the food but the drinks were fantastic and the staff was even better! We would have walked right on by if it weren't for Christian's big smile, dance moves and enthusiasm that talked us into coming inside that first night. Next up the security guy Kim, provided a warm welcome and a run down of the three different bars, where the bathrooms were and an introduction to the staff. Then we met the bartender, Brian. He was SO much fun and made the best drinks. He truly made myself, my husband and my parents feel right at home. Perfect hole in the wall. Enough people to interact with and have a good time but not so busy that you can't find a good seat. read more

I would have given more stars but the bartender was awfully rude. My friend and I were first greeted by someone doing security there. He invited us to come in and explore the food options. I thought he was the host at first. We walked around the place and figured we would enjoy the balcony seating. We walked to the bar on the ground level and the bartender looked annoyed. We asked if we can sit upstairs and she replied, "the stairs are right there" in a harsh voice. My friend followed up with "well, will there be a host or a server upstairs?" And the bartender quickly responded that we just walked around here. My friend and I looked at each other and just didn't feel welcomed. We couldn't help but tell her she had an attitude and she laughed as we left. Long story short-- the security agent and bartender should switch jobs! read more

Local in the industry also. Worst service ever. Stopped in 4:30 in the morning and ordered breakfast. Was barely greeted by the bartender and was ignored the rest of the time. Ordered breakfast. Took 40 minutes to get there. While cooked properly; it was delivered by a very surly looking young man. When asked for more butter, He rolled his eyes at me and walked away in a huff. After 10 to 15 more minutes he came back down with a small ramekin. I told him that I was sorry. Boxed in to go boxes, and served with an impression that we should leave as soon as possible. All in all I would give this a very negative review. As it left a bad taste in my mouth, even though the food was quite tasty. In my opinion the poor House on Bourbon should work on its overnight staff's customer service skills ASAP. read more

WARNING TO ANYONE SOBER. So I understand how this area works, all kinds of people are pushy and trying to sell stuff. But this woman who works for 718 and stands outside with shots is scary. In our group of four we have two sober people and two not sober people. This woman started trying to sell us shots, we declined and kept walking. She physically stopped one of us and physically poured two shots down one of our throats, luckily one of our drinking friends but then tried to physically pour shots down one of our sober friends and I had to step in front of her to stop this woman. We said no, we tried to walk away because this woman is NON CONSENSUALLY poured shots down our friends throat and wouldn't take no for an answer from our sober friend till I stepped in between them. She wouldn't let us walk away and said we had to pay for the two shots she poured down our friends throat. $20 for two shots we were FORCED to take. So effed up. Took a picture of the sign to remember so we could write a review and she is IN this photo. read more

But don't feel so bad anymore after seeing all of the pictures other people got away with. I wonder why they don't want pictures in such a cool spot but I'm sure they have their reasons. Drinks were fine and the bartenders were awesome. It's very dark in this place but colorful at the same time. Overall it was a cool vibe.

Happy hour prices were a whole $1 off regular-priced drinks -- and considering the regular prices were already delightfully low, that's basically like getting paid to drink. (Okay, not really, but you get my point.) Wendy was our bar mistress, and let me tell you -- she was a gem. Attentive, quick with a refill, and serving with a smile like she'd been doing this since the dawn of cocktails. The vibe was classic dive -- a mix of locals holding down their usual spots, some questionable neon signs, and that faint yet oddly comforting smell of stale beer mixed with a hint of nostalgia. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I make this my regular spot if I lived closer? Without a doubt. This place is the dive bar blueprint -- no frills, just good drinks, chill vibes, and the sweet hum of an overworked A/C.

Having people in town for Easter we went out on a Wednesday night ..... not Knowing what to expect but wanting to show my guest a good time we stopped in for a quick minute. Our bartender Kerrie immediately made us feel like we had known known her ourselves whole life. She made my out-of-town guest feel right at home and we ended up staying Hours longer than we originally anticipated. The buttery nipple And sex on the beach shots kept pouring and this bar was the highlight of our night. I highly recommend this gem. read more

I just recently found out about this bourbon street gem! It's a 24 hour dive bar with excellent food. Our bartender Troy was the best bartender I've came across in New Orleans . He was nice fast and informative. The dj was on point and the cook had my food out hot and ready and it was good! Definitely not expected but I'm glad they gave me the best night in New Orleans ! Big shout out to 718 ! Shout out to Troy ! Real mvp read more

Wanted to stop in for some quick drinks with colleagues. Most every bar was so hectic, it was 5pm we wanted a relaxing atmosphere. Ended up having Noel as our server and she was perfect. She gave us reccomendations for cool spots all over town and even offered to take us out on the town. Stop in, enjoy the 24 hour food and drink menu, and hope you run into Noel. PS. She makes the best Hurricane in Louisiana read more

Spent a great afternoon with Brian bartending on the second floor - he's truly a phenomenal bartender. The second floor also has an outdoor area where you're able to smoke cigars. Truth be told, we wouldn't have stayed here longer had Brian not been so welcoming... & so down to earth. He's a great bartender and although we're tourist will follow him wherever he goes to French Quarter... read more

Was visiting NOLA for the first time for my birthday with some family. Sean was our bartender and he made me feel very very special on my birthday. Live music was great and luckily it was slow when we were there so the singer interacted with us heavily. All in all was a great experience with good drinks to match. Definitely a more 'chill' spot than other places on Bourbon. read more

The dive bar was far from the norm. I loved the energy from the barmaid. And I was turnt on to a lamb chop restaurant 2 blocks away by the gentleman that I won't disclose. But he could be spot on. The beer was reasonably priced and I walked out in a better way than I arrived. And the bar maid Stephanie is cool. No matter what your instincts tell you, (lol) she's reAl. read more

Some restaurants lure you in with advertising. Cornet lured us in with a plate of food…read more My husband Jordan and I were walking down Bourbon Street when we passed by Cornet and saw two ladies sitting by the open window. One of them had a platter in front of her that literally made me stop in my tracks. I looked at Jordan and said, "We're turning around." Best decision we've made on this trip. We ordered the Cajun Platter with red beans, jambalaya rice, fried catfish, and grilled sausage. When I tell you this was one of the best meals I've had since arriving in New Orleans, I mean it. Every bite was packed with flavor. The catfish was perfectly fried, the sausage was delicious, and the red beans and jambalaya rice brought everything together into the kind of meal you dream about later. The food alone would earn five stars, but the service made the experience even better. Our bartender,Dee, had the most beautiful smile and welcomed us with that genuine New Orleans warmth. Every time she called us "baby," it felt like being welcomed into someone's home. That's the kind of hospitality you can't teach--it's authentic, and it made us feel right at home. Bourbon Street has no shortage of places to eat and drink, but Cornet stands out. Amazing food, great drinks, incredible service, and an atmosphere that captures everything people hope to find when they visit New Orleans. The Cajun Platter is an absolute must-order. So good we forgot to take pictures!!! We'll be back tomorrow.

Cornet was a fantastic stop during a girls' trip with some of my favorite humans!…read more We were seated immediately and chose a table on the balcony, which made for the perfect New Orleans experience. The atmosphere, decor, and energy of the restaurant were exactly what you'd hope for in the French Quarter. The service was excellent, and our food arrived surprisingly quickly. We enjoyed the crab cakes, pastalaya, and shrimp creole, and every dish was packed with flavor. It's hard to pick a favorite because everything was delicious and full of that classic New Orleans comfort-food goodness. Between the great food, attentive service, beautiful setting, and wonderful company, this meal was one of the highlights of our trip. If you're looking for a fun dining experience in New Orleans with great food and a balcony view, Cornet is definitely worth a visit. We loved it!

We found that was our option. But, really, alcohol seemed to be why people go there. However, if that's all you get, you are missing out. My wife and I both really enjoy led our catfish po' boys. Balanced flavor, great condiments, not too much lettuce. The place had about 10 other people and when someone came in and asked for the catfish, it was all gone. The atmosphere was quiet enough to talk, if with a futbol match on the television. The single gentleman tending the bar and grill seemed really angry at something because he kept swearing and didn't seem happy to serve us. But we don't hold that against him. It just made things a little awkward. Overall, not bad.

While the service wasn't very attentive, our food did come out pretty quickly. We had to keep asking for what we needed, as there weren't any check-ins throughout our visit. Overall, the service felt more like it got the job done rather than being welcoming or engaging. We ordered a few items to try, including the Who Dat Shrimp, wings, and a cheeseburger with fries. The Who Dat Shrimp were my favorite. They had a perfect crisp, and the sauce on top was really good. The wings also had a nice flavor, but they weren't tossed in the sauce as stated on the menu. Instead, the sauce was just poured in the middle of the plate. The burger and fries were good.
