Very "'mid". Has a sign out front - "Best bar food in New Orleans". They are so far from earning that title. Grilled chicken sandwich had an anorexic chicken breast. "Mediocre" is a generous way to describe their food. Good beer selection and nice tree-shaded courtyard to enjoy a bevy with friends which could include a dog. I would recommend eating at Mahoney's (1 block away) or Joey K's (3 blocks away) for high quality, high volume food and then go to Bulldog for beers. read more

The wings here are good. Saucey without being soggy. I also like their chips and salsa. The salsa is very mild but that's ok. They also have awesome waffle fries. Casual atmosphere to watch a game or just hangout and drink with friends. The beer tap fountain is also pretty cool. Friendly staff and bartender. read more

I don't come here often but the outdoor space is one of the nicer ones on Magazine Street. This past Saturday my hubs was craving a burger so we stopped in. Service at the bar was friendly and quick. It appears there only one person preparing food in the kitchen, so it was a lengthy wait for food. However, my hubs said it was the best burger he'd had in a long time. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which is just 3 buffalo chicken tenders on a sandwich. Waffle fries are always great. read more

The cheeseburgers were delicious, and there were plenty of draft beer choices at the full bar. Indoor or outdoor seating and sports on TV. What's not to like. Great sports bar. read more

T is an amazing bartender. She took the time to know our preferences and came up with the perfect drinks. Was totally blown away by her customer service and her pleasant attitude. Devin also had the most amazing recommendations for great places to visit. read more

Sat at a table and did not get recognized for about 10 minutes. We left and found a new place.

We just popped in here real quick for a beer, but they were so nice and quick. Asked about a few beer options and got quick answers and got served up fast. The ambiance reminds me of a good old Marine Corps tavern. read more

One of my favorite bars uptown! The service is too tier-- Tabitha is the best bartender. She made all our drinks so fast and they came out delicious. Devin keeps the vibes so high as well-- best bingo host EVER. And even the food was great-- we had loaded nachos and they came out piping hot and full of flavor and toppings. Will definitely be coming back again read more

Tons of interesting drafts on tap? Check! Friendly staff? Check! Great looking bar? Check! Cool outdoor shaded patio? Check! Good food? Nope. Sorry. Nope. We arrived here right from the airport. Luggage and all. The bartender said she was also from Pittsburgh. We chatted briefly. Ordered a draft each and sat down. The beers were good. The selection was really great for drafts and bottles. The drafts change frequently, the lines are clean and it shows! This reminds me of an old english pub back here in the 'Burgh. I really enjoyed myself. We ordered some food, but it was not very good. Kind of "restaurant depot" basic, freezer into the fryer type. Pop in a for a beer. Eat elsewhere. read more

I ordered two Long Island Ice teas at the bar from a very nice lady for her to tell me the guy would make them, for him to outwardly say "who ordered these terrible drinks" and when I said me, he responded "of course it was you". Just before this, I asked for some water and he totally ignored me. One of the rudest servers I've ever had. Only reason I give two is because of the lovely woman. Awful way to treat a stranger. read more

This is the first bar we went to in New Orleans. We walked right into a table, and all ordered drinks. The bartender even turned on the bucks game for us, which was awesome. The drinks were delicious, and they had a whole bar length of beers on tap. There is food offered, but we just had drinks and enjoyed the game. It is a typical bar, low lights, and some t.v.s for entertainment. The outdoor patio is well lit and gives you a bit of people watching to enjoy. read more

This place was ok. Our bartender didn't have great people skills. We ordered some water to start and were told to "help ourselves" to the water from an Igloo cooler at the end of the bar. I then asked for a food menu and was told to get it from the window on the opposite wall. Only drinks are ordered from the bar and food is ordered from the window on the opposite side. Two charges for one visit. I ordered two burgers, cooked medium and the Amber Fries. My wife's burger was medium but mine was well-done. The Amber Fries tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in months. Pros: Nice Atmosphere Great beer selection Pet friendly Cons: Bad food Below average service Separate orders/charges for food and alcohol read more

Very nice beer selection. I'll have to go back and try the food. I was only drinking my calories on this visit. They have a chill outside seating area for your party. Bartender was ok.....smiles go a long way. She must of had a bad day or something. Reasonable prices. read more

Okay, so they have about 40 beers on tap. That's a great selection, but how many can you drink. We went for happy hour. My pint was "only" $8.50, so many beer isn't part of the deal. I tasted a couple of beers in those tiny plastic cups usually used for serving medications-pills-at hospitals. They couldn't give smaller tastes unless they used droppers. Cocktails were supposedly 2 for 1, but ours looked and tasted like a single. I don't know about this place. read more

Nice outdoor patio and good vibes with big TVs to watch sports games! Easy to find in the Garden District of NOLA! We stopped by this little gem on a weekend trip to NOLA and loved their selection of beers! We didn't order any food so cannot comment on that, but the atmosphere was very pleasant and service was relatively fast! Many people were outside on the patio enjoying beers and watching a game on their TV. I would recommend stopping by for a drink or two! read more

our bartender, (matt?) absolutely rocked, good selection. honestly it looks overwhelming if you like beer, the tap is a crowded 10ft long. food hit the spot, with plenty of condiments and options for everyone read more

By the time my friends and I arrived here, we were all already three sheets to the wind. What exactly does that mean, "three sheets to the wind"? I know it means "to be drunk", but where, exactly, does that phrase come from? Well, I'll tell you, because I looked it up. The sheet is the line that controls the sails on a ship. If the line is not secured, the sail flops in the wind, and the ship loses headway and control. If all three sails are loose, the ship is out of control. That's what we were - out of control - especially my wife, who thought it would be a hoot to pick up glasses and start hurling them against the wall at The Bulldog. After the third or fourth glass shattered, we were told to "get the fuck out" by the bartenders, and rightly so! read more

They just can't get their act right So many staff members yet- Idk Can't keep beer in stock Some bartenders are great some are just miserable The kitchen situation is just a joke Still not open Idk Terrible happy hour With three new bars opening next door and across the way you need to do better Now read more

The beer tap fountain caught our eye as we were strolling down Magazine Street. We had been hanging out in the neighborhood all day on a super hot day in June and after we finally called it quits, we decided to hole up in the Bulldog for a few hours to cool off and have some drinks. It was a Thursday afternoon so the place was pretty empty but a few people came in with the best doggos ever (shout out to Duck and Magic!) so our dog loving crew was ecstatic to hang out with some most excellent doggos! We basically just hung out and shot the shit with the bartender for a few hours - he was great (forget his name). Drinks were very reasonably priced since we were there during happy hour time. Overall, great place to hang out for a few hours! The patio outside looked really nice but it was a million degrees out so we were not about that life lol. read more

Go to neighborhood dive/sports bar with lots of outdoor seating on magazine st. Alcohol: -$10 minimum at bar** -lots of beer options and bartenders are very helpful with explaining local brews and letting you taste test as you'd like -options for sours and mixed drinks as well Food: -standard bar food, order on the right as you walk in, they give you a pager for when its ready Overall: -great location on magazine st -Lots of outdoor seating, great spot for nice weather or a football game (there's a tv outside and several tvs inside) read more

I usually don't write reviews for a bar that I pop in for a drink or two, but the service that we had was great! We popped in to have a few drinks before going to dinner and I'm not a huge beer fan. I got the Nola watermelon Weiss which I wasn't a huge fan of. I asked the bartender for a suggestion and after discussing a few things I liked and disliked she suggested a Parish Greetings from Holly Beach with a shot of Malibu added to it. It was fantastic! Never would have thought to add a shot of alcohol to a glass of beer and I enjoyed it so much. read more

The Bulldog - Nola Berliner Weiss salted watermelon - Pubs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This would be considered a "neighborhood" bar in Wisconsin where I am from. Solid beer selection, bar food to help soak up the beer that was just consumed, and a great staff. It was right around the corner from the house we were staying at and was a stop on most nights. They have a nice outdoor patio to imbibe and a great vantage point to people watch on Magazine Street. Along with the beer, I opted for the Tex mex egg rolls. Clearly homemade and tasty, these were a cut above those southwestern cousins that are served at Chilis (but to be honest, I haven't been to a Chilis in over 10 years but still think they are better). Is this a destination stopover? Nope. But does it scratch that beer and food itch when you have it, most definitely! read more

Extremely rude, stuck up staff. Not even from Louisiana but think they're locals. lol

As a black man, this business kicked me out tonight because I asked for a water instead of a beer!! So, In order to stay, I told the guy I would purchase one but he responds back, we're passed that! Jim is a gas lighter and I will never let this go until I speak with management on Change! Generally, when some customers have a seat they have a water first and then follow up with an alcoholic beverage. I wasn't given the opportunity! I just want Jim to treat a black guy in a hoodie and sweat pants the same way he would treat another race that's wearing a suit and tie! I would like to Jim to practice patience and communicate better with his customers! I'm not sure how we got here but I would love to speak with management and get an apology from this frightening event that unfolded. I was calm, understanding, and respectful, but I didn't receive those things back in full! read more

The service was quick, wonderful beer selection. Had a peach sour that was really good. But wow, the food is terrible. I was shocked at just how bad it was. Fries were pale and unseasoned in any way. The quesadilla was bland, and soggy. Go for the beer, not the food. read more

I'm so glad this bar is still operating during COVID. Today was a tough day and I needed this DRINK ! The service is great and they still have HAPPY HOUR! It's only outside dining with two seating areas inside. The Hurricane is a nice frozen drink but with less alcohol than a Daquri. The crawfish banditos were way better than expected, I'm glad I came to this place. read more

The watering hole of my early 20's (20 years ago) hasn't changed much over the years. Still nearly 50 beers on tap, same indoor arrangement, same solid bar food. I don't remember the outdoor fountain being there back then but regardless it's an awesome fountain with the beer taps supplying the water. The Bulldog has 48 beers on tap. The good: It's very organized as they are numbered and described on one of the several laminated menus that are easily accessible. They change out a few of the beers each month and they feature a new micro-brewer each month as well. The bartenders are knowledgeable and can help even the most novice of beer drinkers find something they like. The bad: Too many blah beers. They used to cater to the craft brewing lovers only, but they now have Coors, Miller Lite, Bud Light, PBR, Blue Moon, Yuengling and an Angry Orchid cider. Basically the Applebees of beers. So in reality they have 38 beers on tap and 10 to appease my mom and dad. Obviously they sell a lot of them or they wouldn't have them on tap so hard to blame them. The outdoor seating area is an awesome place for the cooler months but they try to make it tolerable as well during the hell months of summer with misters and fans. The burgers, wings and nachos are always solid bar food items. My only issue is I wished they would bring back the punch cards from 20 years ago that got you a free T-shirt and your name on a plaque if you drank everything on tap. read more

The Bulldog uptown is a great spot to hangout! They have a large selection of beers on tap. Their food is very yummy as well. The waffle fries are a great snack to pair with your beer. They have a full kitchen with lots of bar foods. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is a little dark and great for a casual night out. Outside is a great spot to watch a football game on a Sunday or enjoy some New Orleans weather! read more

The Bulldog has over 48 draft beers and around 100 bottled ones. I don't know how many I've got, I lost count after the 3rd. Each one had that fresh-from-the-oven, crisp, thirst-quenching taste! Also, I somewhat remember getting a burger, which was surprisingly delicious. Was that because of the beers or they just have good food as well? ;-) Oh, also great bartenders!

They're alright. I've been a couple times for a drink or a snack, yet somehow leave with a 'meh' feeling with how those turned out. I do think the staff, location and ambiance make up for it though - great place to hang out with a friend on a sunny day and watch people walk by on Magazine. Also, a bit pricey, but not too much relative to the neighborhood. read more

The Bulldog - Margarita and French fries, cost about $15 altogether - Pubs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I don't drink and I do not frequent bars unless I am in a group where the majority does. My stepdad, who happens to be a Georgia Bulldogs fan (I know...unrelated), saw this place and thought hey...let's go here, simply bc of the name. We liked the outside courtyard with its fountain and inside of the place was pretty cool too. It was moderately crowded for a Monday but we found a table right away. Bartenders were great...the guy at the food window was super friendly. Our fries took awhile and when we got them, they tasted pretty good. There were 4 tv monitors up with 2 different games. I liked the vibe in there and it was moderately noisy. So, not so noisy to where you couldn't hear the people at your table, which was a plus. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Six Reasons to Visit The Bulldog: 1. Wednesday pint nights. If you drink a beer, you get to keep the glass...and the glasses are actually worth keeping. To this day, my home is still stocked with them; my favorite will always be "Willy Nagin and the Chocolate City."* 2. Sipping on any one of the countless amazing brews they have on tap is a win, especially if you grab seats on the patio. I'm partial to the Wiseacre coffee milk stout they have right now. The selection is constantly changing though, and it's a certainty that you can find something you'll love. 3. Like any good beer bar, they care that their drafts taste great. Clean lines, fresh kegs, clean glassware, nitrogen/CO2 pumps, etc. 4. There's no better way to reuse old taps than the fountain in the backyard. Bonus points because the change goes to a good cause (animal shelters). 5. The King's Nachos. Get them with pulled pork, like a champion. Also, waffle fries. 6. Last time I came in, there was a dog costume contest. Nothing is better than drinking and watching puppies run around in costume. And I do mean nothing. That seems like enough reasons to check them out. ____________ *If you don't know, now you know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Nagin#.22Chocolate_City.22_speech read more

Trash. Trash bartender with a horrible attitude and blue eye shadow. Horrible cook that overcooked everything that came out. Horrible music that would push anyone away over 27, and of color. It was a really awful experience. I've never had overcooked nachos, burnt burgers, dirty tables and nasty attitudes all wrapped in one. Awful. read more

$5.22 for one Abita Amber!!! Seriously that's almost a 6 pack across the street at Breaux Mart! I can buy a keg of Abita Amber and the serving cost is around 85 cents for a large solo cup that holds more than the Bulldog pints so I would expect a bar could get a quantity discount for even less. The price gouging corporate demon anti-NOLA culture to the MAX has fully taken over with that!!! This is no longer a locals bar and now is firmly entrenched as a tourist establishment of ill repute that especially caters to Tulane students from the Northeast that are nostalgic about paying New York City prices in the Bulldog. They need to open a bead and t-shirt shop next door as they Bourbon Street it up on this section of Magazine... Bulldog ownership has totally lost the fact that volume is where you make profits and I'm certainly not drinking volumes of anything at their current prices where back when Abita Amber was just $4 a pint I would drink many on a daily basis here as I used to enjoy this bar. They have completely driven off all their regulars here and all the staff that worked here for many years is gone. This bar is dead to me now. Abita Amber prices at other area bars: $2 PITCHERS Reginelli's Pizza Monday, Tuesday and other announced times. $4 Rendezvous Tavern ($2.50 on Wednesdays) $4 Balcony Bar (cheaper for announced specials) $3 Ms. Mae's $2.75 Brothers Three $5 New York Pizza for a slice of pizza AND an Abita Amber Bourbon Cowboy 3 for 1 special works out to about $2.50 per beer for Abita Amber. read more
