Went to Evangeline today for a late lunch, the bartender was absolutely amazing, super cool, knowledgeable about the menu, and drink options, everything was very pleasant and I'll be coming back for sure, highly recommend, in particularly on Thursdays! read more

This is a neighborhood dive bar. I came here to watch the Super Bowl, and it wasn't too crowded, but every chair was full. They have a very long bar to sit at and a handful of high-top tables. It's also one of the few bars in the city with a pool table, so that's nice. They also have a full kitchen and a pretty large menu. I had the chicken Caesar wrap, which I thought was really good. I think it could've used a little more chicken, but it was filling and a good size, so I enjoyed it. They were also selling crawfish plates outside for $20 for two pounds in early February. My friends said the crawfish were pretty good, but I didn't have any. read more

Did you hear something go bump in the night?... was it your stomach??? Have no fear, the professionals at this neighborhood institution have what you need to rid yourself of the poltergeist that is your late night munchies. Highly recommend the steak quesadilla, if decision fatigue also has possessed you. read more

Perfect neighborhood bar! While it was a Wednesday night I believe they only had 1 bartender. They have daily specials ANDDDD they serve food. I didn't try the food but I saw plenty of people eating. There is one pool table, a few digital slot machines, and outside seating. I wouldn't recommend for a big party that wants to sit together as it does have narrow walkways. read more

Bomb lemon pepper wings if you are looking for some. The wings were also a decent size for the price. Also had the waffles fries which were great. Unsure of the prices of drinks. They have drink specials also. Whoever was on the aux was doing their thing also. Great jams and multiple TVs read more

Everything was amazing! Food, drinks and people. Happy hour specials were reasonable priced and the main menu was priced well too.

My favorite dive bar Very much a neighborhood feel. Most people are in their late 20s to early 40s. Music is always on point. And for bar food, pretty good! And lots of options. If I could live here, I would. read more

The Evangeline Lounge is a nice bar tucked away in Mid City. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious. I had my fav, a margarita, and it was definitely made with love. We were so hungry when we got there so we were going to just orderbsome fries. The cook suggested the boudin egg rolls and boy am I glad she did, they were so good. The fries are waffle fries, not Chick-fil-A but like so much better! Sorta along the lines of if Rally's fries were waffled. I will definitely be back, you can watch all the games on their many tvs, play pool, or come grab a bite and chill with friends. read more

The bartender on Sunday afternoon was very nice, smiled and took my order for the smash burger with waffle fries. I ordered the double. These weren't smash burgers or well not normal smash burgers. They weren't thin and they were almost burnt tasting. Waffle fries were good but I got all small bits and pieces of waffle frie bits not real whole waffles. Service was great, waffle fries ok, burger not a thin crispy smash patty we all want and love. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. ATM was out of cash and they had 3 beers out on tap. I came for a draft beer and they didn't have it so I just drank club soda. Prices and menu items changed so the one photo on Yelp doesn't do it justice. read more

The Evangeline Lounge - Here's the current prices. No ribeye. It's a petite filet mignon now and more expensive. - Lounges Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Really great neighborhood bar with killer bartenders and one hell of a kitchen. I'd go just for the ambience. I walked in for the first time a few weeks back to find an old friend behind the bar and the people sitting at the bar were some of my regulars. Easily sat down and felt like I was home. Don't skip on Big Little Kitchen. They're in the back killing it!!!! read more

Stopped in to throw darts. Good selection of beers. Ordered fries which were really good. Bartenders were quick even with it being pretty busy. read more

Went here last night for a pop up I heard about. Had the most amazing Cuban sandwiches there and I here there is a pop up every Sunday by the same guy, Chip. While waiting for the food, I had a drink from the bar and I just say, well worth the price! Friendly atmosphere, not crowded, great prices and great drinks. I can see why this is a favorite local hangout. I'll be back for sure! read more

Typical neighborhood bar old-school New Orleans in the neighborhood parking can be a little daunting at times if crowded good music, good people read more

This is a bar post covid where you can go and still feel like things will be ok. And the oysters are fing fantastic. Bartenders are great, people are friendly, its basically what we are about here in the big easy. In times of adversity its nice to let loose and feel at ease. read more

Great place to hang out! Love the vibe!! Great drinks ! Fun Mardi Gras stop before Endymion rolls!

What a great place. Stumbled on it looking for breakfast. Was not disappointed. Friendliness, food , service was excellent. Happens to day it was our anniversary and the owner brought us over two glasses of champaign. Would recommend this to anyone visiting mid town or the French market. Again. Food was excellent read more

The Evangeline Lounge is a dive-type bar located on the corner of Toulouse and Murat Streets. It is a neighborhood bar and has a large following of regular customers. This is good and bad as it generates a lot of business but also the regular customers seem to be a little bit too comfortable in the bar area and kind of creep me out. The bar also allows smoking and many regulars are stained yellow from their habitual use of cigarettes. That's the bad. A highlight of Evangeline is their 4-5 beers on tap. They rotate in some very nice Louisiana brews. Paige, the manager, is phenomenal and it's best to visit when she is tending the bar. The drinks are great. There are three tv's above the bar, more by the pool table, and more still in an upstairs seating area that is available for party rental. The TVs are mostly pretty nice LCDs, too! So it's a great place to catch a game. The bar has offered free chicken wings, chips, dip, king cake, etc. during Saints games. There are several video poker machines along the wall. The bar does not play music and the jukebox is EXPENSIVE. Like, sell your kidney expensive. The jukebox does have an extensive collection of songs so there is a possibility of getting something in exchange for that beloved body organ. Were it not for the smoking and expensive jukebox I'd probably 5-star this bar for its awesome bartenders and cool feel. There is ample street parking in the neighborhood around the bar. read more

I'm happy I stumbled upon evangeline. We were near city park and looking for a fun bar to stop by and this did not disappoint. Shanthi was our bartender and could not have made the experience more enjoyable. The atmosphere was great and the banter with Shanthi made me feel right at home with a long life friend. read more

I love this neighborhood joint, even if its overpriced. drinks are solid, and the bathrooms are super nice. people are too. relaxing.... read more

I had the pleasure of finding this little neighborhood gem for the first time last night. My pool league was scheduled there, but none of us had ever played there. I got there early to practice, but was so in awe of the bar and was chatting up the friendly bartender that I just sat around and sampled two Louisiana drought beers I had never had. It was empty except for two patrons and if the one had not been smoking I would have figured it was a smoke free venue because it did not smell at all and looked very classy. There are stained glass chandeliers, a pool table, a long bar, an elevated lounge area, and a half a dozen flat screens. It looks like a great venue to watch a game, but I heard it does get extremely crowded. The only reason to not give this place five stars was the eventual fog of smoke that overtook my lungs and made my eyes burn later in the night and that they don't serve food. I will be back though for sure! read more

I come here maybe once a month. Neighborhood bar, same people every time. Kool people, good atmosphere. Drinks are cheap, nice seating areas and a pool tables, and tvs during events. Nothing bad to say about this place at all!! read more

Too clean to be a dive, too small to be a full-fledged bar. If you are in Mid-City and looking for a great locals place and a very diverse jukebox, come here. There is also a pretty bartender that speaks fluent Russian: + One more star. That is all. read more

This is a bit of a hidden away neighborhood dive bar and it would be easy to drive right past the joint if you didn't know that its there. The prices here are a bit expensive for Mid-City and for a neighborhood dive bar. This place never seems overly crowded and they do have a pool table and then a raised indoor "patio" type area with a couch to watch television. Lot's of smokers seem to frequent here so that can make the air nasty in here if too many of them congregate. The inside looks much nicer than you would think from the outside and when it isn't smokey this is a pleasant place to enjoy a relaxed time. read more

Friendly bartender & crowd. A hidden gem. I don't like to tell many people about this cool little neighborhood bar... it's my little secret. Reasonably priced drinks. A clean ladies restroom, board games, jukebox, a couple of poker machines & a pool table for entertainment. Nice lil spot when I don't want to be found by anyone I know. read more

Evangeline is THE place to go for football games, both LSU & the Saints. During games there is awesome free food (jambalaya, baked chicken, red beans) & decently priced beer. However, like all things that are not Drew Brees, Evangeline is not perfect. For games, you have to get there early - if you can't get a seat at the bar, it can be hard to find a place where you can see the TV. Also, there was one weird night where the bartender asked my friends and I to leave at 10:00 so she could go home early. Overall, I love, love, love it here! read more

This is pretty cool neighborhood bar. I never would have even known it was here, if I wasn't looking for it- the front of it kind of blends into everything else on the street. The bartender was nice and the people drinking here were as well. It has a lot more space inside than you would ever imagine- if you head to the back there is a whole lounge area with a pool tables and sofas. There's also another sofa right outside the lounge area, which I enjoyed and that was actually clean. Not worth going out of your way, but nice if you are in the area. read more

This is a classic NO neighborhood bar. So throwback you have to ring to get in. It's fairly nondescript , but that's why it's a dive bar. It has a great selection of spirits as well as a decent wine by the glass menu and pool tables. The bartenders are great too. Worth the trip. read more

A neighborhood corner bar in Mid City. Visited this joint for the first time after Endymion. Perfect spot to wait out the traffic and throw back a few more drinks! It's small-ish, but there is a raised side area in the back to the left with a couple couches. There is pool table as well. I can't really comment on their ability to mix a good cocktail, as I was drinking beer. But the beer was cold and served with a smile so there's that! Next time I'm grabbing a bite in Mid City, Evangeline would be a perfect place to grab a last drink! read more

Great place to catch a game, free food, lots of TV's and friendly bartenders. (I am pretty sure the food is only free when the Saints play, but still it was yummy!) read more

Great neighborhood bar. I really like the laid back pace. Definitely a locals place as I always seem to find a friend when I go. The only downside is the smoke; not so bad if you get there early but it's the reason I always leave before I'm ready to go home. UPDATE- New Orleans passed a law that prohibits smoking in bars! Yeah!! read more

Very cool neighborhood bar in mid-city. Friendly bartender, good drinks. Decent enough beer selection. Also close to the Lafitte Greenway for easy access. read more

Not quite chic; kind of chill; decent drinks; friendly people; good jukebox.

I love this bar. Def a local flavor. Too bad it is smokey. Otherwise i would give it all 5 stars. nice quiet place. good place to watch a game read more

This is a nice, clean neighborhood bar in Mid-City. Great atmosphere, and the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. This is a relatively quiet place, and very small. Great for just stopping in and having a drink at the end of a long day. They are open fairly late (it was past 3 a.m. when we went) and the barkeep told us they stay open until people stop drinking or the sun comes up. read more

i was in town on vacation from NY and had a bartender name Natasha...she was friendly and told me all the places to go and what to look out for. They didn't have Labatts Blue but was happy with a cools light. Very friendly bar and yes the music is pricey...$1 a song and pool is $0.75 but i had a great time and will definately be back. :) read more
