Atmosphere is very nice, only 21 + allowed so not a family place. Good drink options, the food is OK but overall nice place to hangout especially to watch football on the weekends read more

Good service. Good food. Good happy hour. Fun place anytime. Definitely a go-to place. Haven't been there in years for football games as I just moved back. But from what I remember, game days were great! read more

Stopped in on the walk home from the convention center to have a beer and rest our feet. Good selection of beer and the music was great. TVs for you sports viewing pleasure also. read more

The District - Sports Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The District has potential, but fell somewhat short. I met a group of friends here one night as the starting point on a truly epic bar crawl. I won't give away the theme, but this bar fit it perfectly. The good Canebreak on tap and a reasonable selection of other bottled beers and drafts. I don't remember exact costs, but I remember them being somewhat high. A previous reviewer mentioned $4 for Coors light, which if that is still the case, that is insanity. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. The bar is a good size and even though there was a bunch of people there, our group was able to avoid the crowd. The not so good The crowd is not really my style. Some groups seemed like tourists, but others seemed like the bro crowd normally associated with Lucy's. There is nothing wrong if that's your thing, but it isn't mine. It seemed that the bar was mostly dudes which made it somewhat awkward for the ladies of our group to walk in, or around the bar without being confronted by some bro asking for her pertinent information. Again, if that's you're thing, more power too you, but it isn't my scene In summary, I didn't really like it, but would be willing to give it a second chance if in the area. read more

Great bar. Tasty well made cocktails. Reasonable prices. Definitely a great place to go if you're in the downtown/warehouse district. I also love that if you open a tab, they give you your CC back immediately, so no worries about leaving it at the bar. read more

The District - red light - Sports Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

20 Oz drink is actually the size of a can soda.....prices are kinda high for the amount of food served. I guess this would explain the short line during rush hour lunch. I was not impressed or satisfied with the quality of food or service for the price. Vibe was okay, staff slightly unknowledable about food, etc but I will not visit again. Also make sure your drinks are not flat for the 3.35 charge you impose. read more

District with so much competition I need you to do better. I met some alumni friends here and didn't have a ton of interaction with the place. They have an L shaped bar with bar seating high tables and benches up against high table on the perimeter. I think it is a good use of space and decor. The bartenders though. There were three young ladies working but for some reason no one was ever ready to go. I asked for a daiquiri and she said no frozen drinks here and I said I just want a classic daiquiri and she said she didn't know how to make that. I was amazed (but see my NOJM review). So I asked about the ciders (only one) and just settled on a draft Abita. Wah Wah. My companions did do shots and I must say the bartenders are generous on the shot poor. So if, unlike me, you like drinking for drunkenness, you may appreciate that. I did think it was cool that they allowed our little group to have our own dj there, the number of tvs and channel options were good, and the bathrooms were clean. So, I think they are decent at what it is they are trying to do, it just so happens that what they are trying to do doesn't really cater to my tastes and preferences. read more

New Orleans is desperately lacking in sports bars, but The District just doesn't do much for me. Drinks are overpriced, the small food menu is mediocre & overpriced, and I'm clearly a bit older than their target demographic though I have to say multiple bartenders and a manager that I interacted with were all very kind. It appears to be clean, and the decor is minimal but fine, and there are a lot of TV's but this place just seems to be trying too hard (but not wanting to seem like they're trying). If you're looking for a 20-something Warehouse District bar with football on the weekends and music getting cranked up on Fridays & Saturday nights this may be your place. If you're looking for female bartenders in tiny spandex shorts (which appears to be a dress code requirement) and tight shirts with cleavage then this may well be your place. If you're looking for cheap drinks or good food this is most definitely not your place. Overall, it's okay and I'm sure some people will feel at home here but I don't personally see myself coming back. read more

Worst food. Ever. Service isn't much better. Visited to watch a football game recently. From the outside the TVs and tables looked inviting. Unfortunately this was the best part. The food menu items sounded okay. However it legit tasted like it was from the McDonalds drive thru. The French fries were on point McD's. Service was not very good. No table service. Okay, we will order at the bar. However when your food comes up, they put it in front of whoever is sitting at the bar and don't even attempt to notify you that it's ready. Also, when I went to pay, I stood directly in front of one of the bartenders. He proceeded to walk away towards one of the TVs to watch the next play. #seriously This place could have potential. It's a cool location inside but the food and service make it such a bad experience. Better to walk a mile to another sports bar for the game. Okay if you want one beer but that's about it. read more

The District - Worst idea for a food item. Ever. - Sports Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Really good coffee! The cinnamon bun..amazing! Everything is good. Stop for lunch as well..burger great! Their lunch and breakfast sandwiches will make you come back read more

I was once a regular at the District. No more. I just experienced one of the worst meals I ever had ... anywhere, not just New Orleans. They used to serve a pretty good roast beef po-boy. Today they served me dry, overcooked roast beef debris ( there were some small chunks of meat in there as well) tasting more like vinegar than meat. They served this delicacy on a grocery store hamburger bun. Plus some decent but not good shoestring fries. At $14, I feel ripped off, I couldn't even eat half of it, and if I wasn't so hungry, I wouldn't have bothered eating any! Restaurant Rescue has a potential client here. I gave them two stars becuase it is a pretty good bar. Just stay away from the food... unless or until they decide to go back to serving quality food. If I was rating the food alone it would garner zero stars. read more

Bomb chicken quesadillas!! They fried them Fun atmosphere, bar staff was quick to help! Will be back!

We were in the Riverwalk Mall and went to the River Bar; it was excellent service. Rachel was a phenomenal bartender that gave suggestions with drinks; as well as, offered assistance with great sights to see as well. It's was nice to see the city through a "natives" perspective. The River Bar added a personal touch that was a added benefit. read more

The only reason I came in this place is because the menu posted outside had cheap prices and they had food on their happy hour menu. Thats not the case when you go inside. There is no food on the happy hour menu and the prices are slightly increased on the inside menu. Service is below average just like their queso and chips. **thumbs down** read more

We are not locals and we visited The District for the first time this past weekend. We didn't know for sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. Our bartender Sarah was not only very attentive but she made us feel special. Also, the manager Macharl made it his personal objective to meet every guest in his establishment. The food was great especially the chicken & cheese quesadillas and the chicken tenders. It won't take long for The District to absolutely demolish their competition with employees like Sarah & Macharl! I guarantee you that next time we are in New Orleans we will be there again with our friends. read more

The District - Best place in town to watch the Saints game. - Sports Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great option for Game of Thrones night. We were in town for the big episode, so watching on the 90" TV with surround sound with other fans really made it a great experience. Everyone was all-in and completely quiet during the entire episode (except some cheering during a certain scene)! If you are visiting and need a place to watch with other GoT fans, check it out. read more

We were out-of-towners who found this spot to watch a mid-week afternoon playoff baseball game. The staff was helpful in getting the tv's tuned into the game. Had some good Happy Hour specials from 3-7. Bartender was a really nice young lady, very attentive and got our drink orders quickly. Cool laid back atmosphere and some good A/C to keep us cool and comfortable on what was a pretty hot and humid day outside. read more

My father spoke fondly of Hemingway and Churchill and would have cherished spending the twilight hours discussing the war in this place.

Celebrated my sons surprise birthday party there last night. This is the best place to host a party. The staff was awesome, the food was delicious! I highly recommend having a party here. It was so much fun! I can't say enough about the staff! read more

This is the absolute worse restaurant I've been to in a long, long time. Quick review: Avoid. I hope this place implodes from the inside. A couple of girlfriends and I were in town and saw this place and with the 2-1 Happy Hour drink special, we decided to stop in. We sat down at a high top where an employee immediately came over and ID every single one of us, which was fine, but then he walked away and we never saw him again. Fifteen minutes later the surly bartender standing behind the bar yelled at us that if we wanted something we had to order at the bar. So we sulked over to the bar and placed our food orders. Not being from around here, we didn't realize it was customary to order at the bar. I'd like to thank the bartender for really making us feel like welcomed customers. Since we were the ONLY customers in the entire establishment, I can see that he was probably stressed out from standing behind a bar and talking to his one friend. When I went to place my order with him, I inquired about the Happy Hour Special mentioned on the board outside and his response was "It's not happy hour, I'll go outside and erase that right now". The sign CLEARLY said it was happy hour on the day and time we were there. I don't even know what to say to this blatant rudeness. If this is how this place treats their customers, I wish them financial ruin and endless health code violations. The food was by far the worse food I had during my entire time in New Orleans. I ordered the po'boy and the shrimp was cold and tasteless. We would have complained but 1)there was no waiter to complain to 2)we were starving and just wanted food. I have a strong personal vendetta against this place and have taken it upon myself to let anyone I know to never set foot in this place. Ever. read more

First of all, I am appalled at some of the reviews of this place, and that they passed through the Yelp filter without being filtered out. There are one star reviews from a person who didnt even walk into the place,a one star review because the guy didn't like the crowd (really) and just plain mean D-bags writing them. Now let's be realistic here. This is a bar. This is not a fine dining establishment. And when I go to a bar, I want cold beer, fast and pleasant service in a decent atmosphere, and clean bathrooms.The District delivered on all of these requirements. The bartenders here were friendly and bright, and because I came here two days in a row over last weekend I got to see a bunch of them. As far as the food goes, I had the pork quesadillas... and they were really good.... far better than I'd expect in s sports bar. I also met the owner, who even though it was against their policy, let me bring my bike in and put it against the wall--and this was an LSU game Saturday afternoon when they were pretty packed. This is a good bar.... and I'm giving it five stars. read more

Saints game watching here is fun....lots of tvs. you can be facing any direction, talking to anyone and have a tv in your view. kind of interesting crowd during the games. there were some jersey shore types a few times. you know what im talking about... seen and met some saints and horents players here (pierre thomas, mike mckenzie, belinelli) that's always fun (at least for me!) btw, ladies, their bathroom is handsfree. yesssssssss read more

One of the coolest sports bars in the warehouse district. Best spot to catch those games that are not on television. The bartenders are very nice. They give you free popcorn as an appetizer. I never tried any food on the menu. The aroma of the wings was appealing. You might run into Shockey, he lives next door. A drink is a drink in New Orleans. I would recommend this spot for the location and the atmosphere. read more

Great locals bar! The bar is characteristic of all things New Orleans. Also, a great spot for watching sports (especially the Saints and LSU). They have a ton of tvs, have the sound on for big games, and play great music during the commercials. read more

I've only been here once, the first or second day it opened, so it might be too soon to give five stars, but I was impressed by how friendly and polite the entire staff was! The interior is really nice as well, perhaps because they're so new, but I love all the open doors, you dont feel like you're trapped in a bar at all! The happy hour specials were great and they've also added a food menu. The bar is in a good central location for meeting up with friends after work and there usually is street parking available. I've noticed they advertise as a dog friendly, so I'll def be testing that out with my dog one Sunday for their $3.00 bloody marys! I look forward to returning! read more

Pros: Reggie Bush and several Hornets players I cannot name. But that's not the point. The point is that the pros were AT the District. OK that should give it some MAD stars, right? Well, maybe, but I'm going to look through the haze of celebrity and call BS on this place. Don't lie to me, District, you are average at best. I went here on a Friday night with a group of buddies. It was very crowded, very tough to get drinks, nothing to keep me entertained in the mean time. Too well lit for dancing, not enough tables for hanging and chilling. I may be stating the obvious, but people seemed to be here for the exclusive purpose of getting and consuming drinks. Like the entire venue was just one big line for the bar, and as soon as you got one round you just drifted to the back and started waiting again. Given its proximity to Lucy's, I'm sure I'll be back here. Maybe happy hour is better? I will report back! read more

$5 Abita Amber! I'm outta here too many other places to drink the same beer cheaper!

The District - Sports Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

While in NOLA visiting family, my wife and decided to try this place while everyone else went shopping. It was about 4pm on a Wednesday, we stop in for a late lunch. First off, we were the only ones in the whole place. I order the shrimp po-boy, and the Mrs ordered the BBQ pulled pork po-boy at the bartenders recommendation. The food took forever. The bartender didn't really tend to us too much while we waited 35 mins for our 2 po-boys too. I guess the 3 other customers who came in after us took too much of her attention...naw, they were getting neglected too. When the food finally came, it was very sub par. My wife's pulled pork was lukewarm. They had literally a small lil trail of store bought bbq sauce the top bun. I should also mention that this bun was probably stale and/or over toasted since it crumbled in our hands. She also said how dry the pulled pork was. My shrimp po-boy had the same powder-ie bread and very little tartar sauce. The fried shrimp wasn't terrible, but was not seasoned at all. I get the feeling that it was some store bought frozen shrimp they threw on some old bread. It was a very bland sandwich...a real waste of $20 (each po-boy was $10 each) Int he end, we felt it was a waste of time and money. read more

Definitely not a place for a tourist. The food was great and the drinks were okay, but the service was so condescending. EXCUSE me for not knowing which plastic cup had a vodka cocktail and which had one with tequila. The locals who came in got excellent service but they treated us like we were stupid or something. Plus, each drink was $10... in plastic cups. We won't be going back. read more

Best saints bar. Good prices and friendly staff. Order the quesadillas they are awesome.

How can a place labelled as a Sports Bar not have any sound with their sports games on tv? We came in here to watch the Canucks Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals and it was hard to follow along with no sound. Their reason for not putting on any sound was because there was also a baseball game there. But being 1 of 3 parties in their (the other 2 were groups of 2) we noticed no one was even watching baseball! So after the girls shared some wings and had a beer, we left. Too bad, because on a night with only 4 other customers, they could have used our business I think. And we would have ordered a lot more too. Oh well. The girls did say their food and local beer selection was quite good though. read more

No real problem here. Nice ambiance, shockingly affordable drinks and typical bar food although I didn't try any. Not overly crowded, nice place to hang out and have a drink. I went here for a mixer when I was in New Orleans for a conference and I thought it was a great venue towards that end. Other than our group it wasn't terribly busy, but it was a Wednesday so I guess that it to be expected. I like the exposed brick walls and the service was pretty great! read more

We stopped in here in the middle of the afternoon while making our way back from the Garden District to our hotel on Canal. The bartender was friendly, personable, and she didn't seem to mind if we ordered more drinks or just sat at the bar and relaxed. There was a mix of patrons here: a couple on vacation from Ohio, a local elderly man, and one or two young-ish guys hanging out at the opposite end of the bar. There were a few TVs, and I got the impression that people like to come here to catch a game. The bartender told us that if you come in and request a specific game, they can probably put it on for you. It's a very sports-fan friendly bar. We ordered 2 mixed drinks and a beer, I think the well drinks were $4 each. The place is clean and brightly lit compared to the many dark and dilapidated bars in the French Quarter. It's a typical bar, so I wouldn't go out of my way to go here unless I really wanted to watch a game. But it was a perfect stop for us to relax, since our walk back was longer than expected. read more

Great sports bar for Saints games. Loud lively crowd. Plenty of tvs to see other games (are there any?). They might have food but I am just drinking on this trip read more

Terrific bar in CBD. Lots of TV screens and comfortable environs. It's a really nice place and food is good but atmosphere is really nice.

Let me tell you why I enjoyed my trip to The District. I was there as part of a bachelor party for the two NFL conference championship games in January. I had low expectations. I'm in New Orleans so I can think of much better ways to spend hours than at a sports bar. I was in no mood to drink and I had just had a huge po-boy so at Seed I did not want to eat. The District was perfect for my needs. The bachelor party had a corner that was great for both talking and watching the games. It was not too loud and you could actually hear the game broadcasters. The staff at The District never hassled us. If we wanted food or drink we just went to the bar and it was brought out to us. I did that a number of times, to ask for water which was happily supplied. I don't go to sports bars but if forced to choose one, I'm taking the The District. read more

Love the TVs playing music videos. The last few times have been a little slow but I think the damper is more that they had added more seating which kills the tiny dance area they used to have which leaves people the option of standing/ dancing outside and in the bar entrance areas. read more

We had our company holiday party during a Monday night saints game, and it was great. The food spread was awesome, and they reserved the back section of the bar with the huge 90" TV with private, reserved seating and direct access to a large section of the bar. Additionally, the people (other guests and staff) were very friendly. read more
