    Birthday cake pudding shot. Yum!
    Nikki B.

    Three Legged Dog is a classic dive bar nestled in the French Quarter. It's a 24-hour watering hole with dollar bills on the ceiling, good tunes, and friendly bartenders that serve stiff drinks with a smile. It's also popular with the locals for its boiled crawfish, which is served up fresh daily at 6 p.m. Mom & I stopped in on a sizzling summer day to take a break from the heat. The bartender on duty was a likeable guy with a wicked sense of humor. He told us they just made some birthday cake pudding shots, so we got one to share along with a couple of vodka sodas. I have to say, that pudding shot was strong & tasty. Don't pass it up. *Service fee added for credit cards.

    Street parking only, small corner store with high ceilings, dark dive bar, fans and loud music Loved the music selection, good snacks and strong pour, service was sweet friendly Location like a dive bar, music like a club and restroom like the epic fear challenge

    Crawfish boil!
    Jes G.

    I love crawfish season with the Dog. Every friend from out of town now knows to ask to swing by there to enjoy the boil.

    Divey bar which was cool until some idiot came in louder than the music talking crap about wanking himself. The bartender gal entertained him so he didn't shut up! We ordered tots and hatch chili chicken rolls before this clown started so be were obligated to stay. Both items were very salty, so if you're into that, and wanker dude talker, this is your place. The ambience was ok until that point, small hole is the wall with a musty smell and beer gnats everywhere. Egg roll on the floor, so guess nobody cleans. Maybe return, but thats big maybe..

    Was late one night and we wanted something to eat. My friend saw a video of someone recommending this place so we went. It was a Friday night and it wasn't packed. It's a pretty small bar and I thought it was unique they had money on the ceiling. It was about 11:30 and we wanted to order some food. The guy at the bar said the kitchen was closed at the time but that it would open up at 12. So we waited the 30 mins. I ordered the garlic parm wings and mozzarella sticks and my friend ordered the hatch eggrolls(I believe that's what it was like a southwest chicken eggroll). We ordered our food to go. After we received our food two of my friends saw a rat in the restaurant. I know a lot of places in the French quarter have rat issues but it was still nasty to see in the bar. Also they had a lot of water on the ground by the bar which was weird. Food was decent bar food but I wouldn't go back due to the rat sighting.

    3# of Crawdads for $26

    Dive bar with great bartenders. Small place that packs them in, particularly when the crawdads are brought in around 6 during the season. Hard to beat three pounds of crawdads for $26, and there were great, with a briny stock and garlic.

    Live crawfish boil.   So good!

    What a f'n gem of a discovery. We will be back multiple times before we love NOLA. Loved the crawfish boils and drinks special. It can use some AC! We were sweating balls but the time we left. Great 24 hr place to hang out and grab food! Amazing bartenders!

    The crawfish was delicious. I don't know what spices he uses but a great recipe. Also they were playing a great playlist.

    Crawfish as much as you can fit in that box
    BB S.

    The best crawfish in town served 6pm onwards. Scoop your own crawfish! Reasonably priced drinks! 2 for 1 beer. Cant ask for more. AC was not working well on a really warm Saturday night though. Otherwise, all good!

    I finally experienced a crawfish boil thanks to this place. Overall I thought it was good, but the crawfish had much smaller tails than other places I've seen. I'm giving this place 2 stars because the bathrooms had no soap and after eating crawfish out of the cooler that everyone was scooping out of, it really grossed me out.

    4lbs of crawfish
    Sam C.

    Came here for the crawfish, but lemme first tell you this place smells awful. Looks questionable. Def a local hole in the wall. The staff was super friendly and chill. The smell makes me wanna give it three stars. The crawfish was pretty solid though. You get a Togo box and fill it up (2lbs) and it was about 24bucks/lb. Ate quickly and left. I don't know about the other food.

    When is the season of crawfish?

    They have the crawfish daily at 6. Prime crawfish season in Louisiana is generally Jan-July.

    My wife and I will be there for the Final Four. Will there be crawfish boil Sunday night?

    7 days a week at 6pm, it goes fast so get there on time or even a bit early.

    What days/times do they do crawfish boils in February?

    I was there on a Saturday and crawfish was ready to be served at 6:00pm

    Is this 21 and older or can my 20 year old daughter eat here too?

    They checked our IDs before they let us inside so i would say no unfortunately

    Do they serve crawfish all the time, right now?

    I would assume as long as they are in season, but boils are usually only once a day, I believe. I'd give them a call, they will gladly answer your question!

    Are they serving crawfish this week?

    Crawfish is BACK! Please call to inquire on days, times, and prices. Tentatively Wednesday's at 6 pm and Late Night on Saturday's at Midnight.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    We were hesitant because there were only a few people sitting at the bar when we walked in. It…read moreturned out that was the band, which meant it was just the two of us girls, so we decided we'd just have a drink and see what happens. It was 2 p.m. afterall, so not a lot of people were out in general. Turns out the band was great! Then people started trickling in and there was a good crowd enjoying the music with us. We had a great time, chatted with other patrons and a few of the band members. Good drinks, prices are on the higher end at ~$15, but still affordable. I had a Pimm's cup which was refreshing, they are served in souvenir to go cups that are really cute. Glad we decided to stay! A great time was had.

    Before I start, this is my review based on my experience. I've noticed some people complain about…read morethe music, paying the cover charge, seating or the size of the venue. I'm not here to argue any of those points. I will say this: expecting live musicians to perform for free until you decide whether they're worth paying is ridiculous. The cover is usually only $5...$10 max. If that's a dealbreaker, this probably isn't your place. Stay home and stream Spotify. Now... I have some friends in town, and whenever that happens, a Monday night trip to the Spotted Cat is basically mandatory. I've been coming here for years and years. Yes, it's super touristy now, but it still gives me the warm fuzzies every time I walk through those doors. So I'm presenting the "compliment sandwich" review. Never heard of it? You start with a compliment, slip in some constructive-ish criticism, then end with another compliment. Supposedly people receive feedback better that way. Let's see. First, the music. Outstanding. Chris Christy wasn't what I thought I wanted to hear until I actually heard him. I felt completely transported. Man, can that guy play the guitar. It felt kinda like gypsy music. Then came the Frenchmen Street Allstars. The last time I saw them, they had a different lead singer and, honestly, they kind of felt like a completely different band, aside from the phenomenal drummer. This version did not disappoint. It was a great mix of jazz and New Orleans standards. Both bands were great! **Now a note to management.** Great music isn't enough. The bar should be every bit as memorable as the stage. Forgive me, I didn't get the bartenders' names, so I have to describe them by physical traits. The first bartender, the guy with the mountain of curly hair, was friendly enough and made decent drinks. Later, another bartender with a short haircut took over and made the best drinks of the night. Then there was the bartender with the black and hot pink hair. She looked like she'd rather be anywhere else. She rarely smiled, her demeanor felt unwelcoming, and it almost came across as hostile. On top of that, the drinks she made were so weak I genuinely wondered if there was any alcohol in them. Seriously. They were that bad. Here's my philosophy: if you're going to be grumpy, aloof, or have some other off-putting trait, you'd better make a mean drink. Years and years ago there was a bartender named Curtis who wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows, but that man could make a cocktail. I didn't need him to smile because the drink did all the talking. If the drink is mostly soda, though, friendliness becomes a lot more important. Unfriendly and bad bartending is a double whammy. She must be somebody's child or partner because I can't think of any other reason to employ a bad bartender. I hate to belabor the point, but the drinks aren't cheap. Cheap and bad I can take. For another comparison, there's another bartender there, I'm pretty sure her name is Chris. She's been there for years. She's all business. Maybe a little surly. Who am I kidding? A lot surly. But she's a character. More importantly, she makes a great drink. That's the kind of personality that somehow fits the Spotted Cat perfectly. Now let me end with the final piece of "bread" on my compliment sandwich. The doorman deserves his own review. That gravelly-voiced "Welcome to the Spotted Cat!" is part of the experience. Then he absolutely hammers that stamp onto your wrist. Somehow you don't even mind because you know what's waiting on the other side: incredible music, a fun room, and one of the best nights you can have on Frenchmen Street. Just don't let the bartender with the pink and black hair make your drink.

Whether sitting at the bar, or in one of the many lounge chairs on the opposite wall, every seat is an excellent. While I knew of the drink French 75, on the bar menu it was offered with either gin or cognac. I decided to try the cognac and so glad I did. Perfectly delicious! It turns out that drink is actually a French 125, so I learned something new that night. Great spot with a great vibe.

    The Sazerac Bar at the The Roosevelt New Orleans prepares an outstanding Sazerac cocktail, as you…read morewould expect. While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.
