    A great addition to Freret Street. Vibrant, colorful, fun decor. Spacious indoor and bar seating area. The outdoor pool area does have a good amount of seating but fills up quick. Even with the crowd it was a great time. Staff is friendly and efficient dealing with crowds. Poolside service. Great cocktails and snacks. Daily HH. I look forward to checking them out for brunch.

    Listen, I love Sunnies already and it's not even summertime when I'm in dire need of a pool. At night, it's a sight to behold. You walk into what appears to be the stylish rec room of a house and it opens right out to the gorgeous, glowing blue pool. Plenty of seating inside if it's too cold (or, in July/August too darn hot) and it all looks out onto that sweet pool scene. Drinks are priced lower than hotel pool bars and I love their day pool pass situation. Very reasonable all around. We were there to just check it out and get a drink, but I could easily see myself spending more time. I do wish there were some plant-based options on the menu other than guac... but sometimes guac is all you need. I also appreciate the really nice staff here, from the moment you're welcomed in by the bartender and then taken care of by the equally generous servers. You can sit at a table inside or out, even if you're not eating. They don't throw shade (listen, it happens even in NOLA and I don't love that feeling that they don't want you taking up a table if you're not getting a full-on spread). So let's give praise to that traditional Southern hospitality that seems to be more and more rare these days. What a cool addition to Freret. And damn how this street has become the new "it" block. I remember when there was just Cure and a restaurant or two back in 2011.

    Sunnies is such a cute, tucked away oasis in the bustling Freret area! It feels cozy yet tropical, and I love the options of social bar seating, indoor dining, or poolside lounging. The food and snacks are great...I recommend the ahi tuna. My all time favorite drink is the Sleight (slight) of Hand. The smoky mezcal pairs perfectly with the acidity of the lime. And speaking of drinks, shout out to Randall..bartender extraordinaire! He makes for an extremely welcoming and festive atmosphere. Sunnies is definitely my current Freret favorite!

    Came here for brunch this weekend. Even though it was November, the pool was still open. Good thing, considering it was 85 degrees outside. We got a few rounds of drinks. I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch punch and it was good. My friend got the frozen coffee drink and she enjoyed it. Our last round of drinks we got the other frozen drink which reminded me of an Angel Food smoothie from Smoothie King, but with alcohol. The guac dip was a very generous portion and I loved the yuca chips. We all eventually got sliders and they were good. I got the sazerac mason on the side for dipping and my hash browns. Our server was great. I only wish they would have had the lobster roll available for brunch.

    Lovely spot in the best part of Freret - unique spot for outdoor dining / drinks. Enjoyed the signature king cake cocktail.

    Great cocktails. Outdoor all year pool. Cute location. Don't recommend the lobster rolls. Yummy salads.

    Yall! You've got to try this place! From the time we walked in we were greeted with the nicest man who gave us a little tour and we decided to stay and eat outside by the pool to catch some vitamin D. Our server Katie was the nicest! It was such a vibe near the pool. Sun chairs, music playing and good drinks. They did offer bottomless mimosas but for $30 I decided to pass. (Only needed one) The breakfast sandwich was delightful but I took a hash brown from the other dish, place in on there and then it was fire! The 3 sliders were everything I was hoping for. I'm glad there were 3 for the price (I didn't ask, I assumed 2 so that was lovely when it also came out with 2 hashbrowns) The pool is also heated so any day is a good dip in the winter! Give Sunnis a try! It truly is a little gem on Freret!

    I had an amazing fall evening at Sunnies. I sat by the heated pool, next to the fire pit. The vibe was chill and the playlist was a nostalgic good time. The service was outstanding, from both the bartender and the waitress. I had red wine, deviled eggs and the lobster rolls. The value on the lobster rolls were amazing and it was one of the best I've had in New Orleans so far. We stayed until closing (not realizing it) and I truly appreciated they didn't have the heart to put us out, lol. Sunnies is truly a newfound gem.

    I believe I overheard someone saying this spot opened just 6 weeks ago. We were in the area for the Freret Street Festival and we stopped by to check it out. So eye-catching from the street, and when we walked in, we found such a cute and refined setting with a pool and seating outside. There was a bar and dining area inside, too. I read online that you buy a day pass to swim in the pool, temp controlled salt water pool. They had bites to eat and of course a bar for drinks. We just popped in to look around. A great idea for next time we're in town.

The food was great and the lamb chops was the best part of the meal, I highly recommend food full of flavor.

We had reservations on a Saturday night and were seated almost immediately. As we passed the bar I noticed they had a huge bourbon selection which is always cool. I ordered a "Well She Starts Monday" which is a cocktail made with Buffalo Trace, Cynar liqueur, and Fig Syrup. I was not a fan of this one, so I ordered an Old Fashioned for my second drink, and it was a little better. I got a Burrata for an appetizer which seemed like a caprese salad served with crispy bread triangles. This was really good. For an entree, I got Beef Wellington which until then I had never had. Mansplained, this is a steak cooked medium rare inside of a puff pastry with 2 different sauces on it. Phenomenally good! The atmosphere is really dark with low lighting, dark cherry wood everywhere. The music was bad and loud. If it was one or the other it would have been fine, but this was like if someone gave Yoko Ono glowsticks and said start and EDM band. The Husky is meant for a younger crowd. The food was 5 stars; the atmosphere and experience were probably more like 3 stars.

I am sure seasonally this changes. I like it! Bartender was calm and nice. Its a locals spot to get some good beers or drinks. When we went in, we were not given a menu and did not see anyone order any food.

I got what they call an Intergalactic Snack Attack. This is basically a sampler platter of apps. It had 2 mac and cheese pancakes, 6 pizza rolls that looked like Chinese dumplings, and 4 PB&J wings. The pizza rolls were good, the Mac and cheese pancakes were ok, but the star of this show were the wings! They were tossed in a Strawberry pepper jelly and peanut dust and then they give you a peanut sauce to dip them in. These were great! During the week, the kitchen opens at 5pm and that's when we got there. At that time, we were probably the youngest people in there and I am damn near 50. I am more of a daytime/ early evening bar visitor these days, so it was perfect for me. The back courtyard area is very nice for those fall/spring days and the bar area inside seemed to have a lot of character. They also have a stage for live music and comedy shows. All of these areas are not very big, so it still has that neighborhood bar feel. They have a different food vendor on weekends, so you won't get these wings then. The bartender was friendly and fast, food was great and the atmosphere was chill. I will definitely be back for a full order of those wings.
