Its been about 8 years since my last review of Winstons and felt it was worth updating. It was 5 stars then, and it is still 5 stars now. This is one of the best Metairie bars, if not THE best Metairie bar. It is very Nola'esque. It has that personality that Metairie bars generally do not have. Its in an older building, with a beautiful outdoor space. It is dog friendly. And they have craft cocktails, not just a large beer selection. It is like a cigar bar or a man cave with leather couches and dark woods and lamps inside. They have plenty of fun board games. They are non smoking bar. They place sports on their tvs inside and outside. And they doc crawfish boils on Sunday evenings during crawfish season (Feb-May). I do wish they did them either on Saturday or earlier on Sunday, like 1pm. They have plenty of parking. They are right next to a loud train, so be prepared to turn that into a drinking game every time the train passes. Although they dont really have a full food menu, they do sometimes serve some of the best fish and chips. I don't have anything negative to say about this place. it is great. read more

I love this place! English pub vibes! Wish they had English pies in the menu. Good fish and chips. Good assortment of drinks and nice cocktails. Good service cozy environment, nice back patio. Always a good alternative for a quick drink. read more

We came in to have a couple of drinks and try the fish and chips. It was really delicious for bar food. Far exceeded my expectations. The drinks were great and the bartender was friendly and polite. Cool and comfortable ambiance. Really glad we stopped in. read more

This place continues to be off the rails. Despite the great atmosphere, the "ONCE OVER" looks from the help is chilling. Were these people trained at Wal-Mart? Also RE Tipping. Tipping is NOT REQUIRED. Especially inappropriate to tip the owner. TIPS ARE FOR EMPLOYEES.......!!!! Change the attitude and/or ownership and our functionary's will check back in a while. And have a blest day. read more

Came here with some couples to catch up and have drinks and dinner. Cocktails were well made. Food took a while so be patient, the bartender was waiting for a shift change so he could go in the back to cook. The vibe was comfy pub with couches and come table tops. They even had outdoor space if the weather is rocking. read more

Always a fabulous experience! Everything about Winston's Pub sparkles! Great food, fabulous staff and a warm ambiance! Ice cold beers and great TV's for all the games! I highly recommend! read more

After eating a delicious meal at Brasa on Metairie Road, we decided to stop in for a night cap. Soooo glad we did! This is a true hometown pub. Great bartender conversation, nice drinks, ambiance was perfect. Chefs kiss. The one bartender we chatted up with was a gentlemen in the film industry who's worked for Winston's for quite some time. He gave us a lot of knowledge to take with us. His customer service truly made our night. I recommend ordering a drink and just gazing at all of the memorabilia on the walls. Obviously tons with Winston Churchill, hence the name. This place will make you forget your in the suburbs and take you back in time. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Winston's Pub & Patio - French 75! - Pubs Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

What a nice little hidden gem of a place! Let's start out with the interior...a wonderfully decorated British pub style masterpiece. The sheer amount of awesome eye-catching trinkets, wall-hangings, and breweriana is fantastic! Leather couches and chairs adorn one side of the joint, and a full service bar and kitchen on the other. I sat at the bar (as always) and had the bartender bring me a local IPA (unknown brand, but it was good). I counted no less than 18 beers on tap, and another 20 or 30 selections in can or bottle. I'm pretty sure the bartender is also the cook at this place; he was running around like his hair was on fire and his a$$ was startin' to catch. I might add that even though he was extremely busy, the service was fantastic! Don't do yourself a disservice by skipping over this place if you're anywhere close. read more

Been wandering by this local treasure for quite some time. With covid keeping me outside of places for so long, after getting some shots it was time to explore some places close to home. I'm so glad I came in. A perfectly poured pint and an order of loaded fries was exactly what I needed- come pub comfort food. The food and service was very nice. I'll be returning as this reminds me of the fabulous McMullan's Irish pub in Las Vegas. Neighborhood place with the games on the tv, non threatening white guy rock like Bob Seeger on the stereo (would prefer Irish drink rock but hey, can't have it all), friendly atmosphere and a welcoming attitude. They have slots too if that's your thing. I'll skip those because I'll need my money for future visits because I just found out they have tater tots. TATER TOTS- the unheralded perfect bar food. I'll be back again and again. read more

Winston's is my favorite bar-- good ambiance, drinks, and food and it's pet friendly! Love that there's indoor and outdoor areas and the food pop ups are fire. They sometimes host adorable dog adoption events with local rescues. Also the owner rocks read more

Lots of wood which is what you want in an old English pub, reminds me of the old lagers on vets. It's a good place to stop in and have a drink. read more

Old Metairie is a beautiful area of town. I love it there and of all the places in the area I love Winston's the most. Winston's has been a staple Old Metairie bar for me for years. It has a great comfy feel to it with the sofas, red flooring, and amazing wall decor. They have a really good food selection. The bartenders are friendly (Cliff is the man). Nice patio out back. The digital jukebox is always a hit with me and my friends. And board games! Some of the issues I have with Winston's: smoking permitted and gets way too loud in there. After spending 5 1/2 hrs here last night celebrating my friend's bday, I can still say that Winston's is a friendly and fun spot in Old Metairie. Definite hotspot in Metry! read more

Such a cute and quaint bar with great drinks! They have a wide variety of different beers, wines, and alcohol. I ordered the Ponchatoula Sparkler and it was delicious! It's made with Tito's vodka, fresh strawberries, mint syrup, and club soda and then garnished with mint! It was so refreshing and tasty! Great place with great drinks! read more

Nice place and good drinks. Lots of areas to chill. Waitress comes around which is nice and there's a mix of different people. Had the coffee break beer which was good. Bathroom a little tiny and nasty but other than that. Cool place to chill. read more

I stopped by this Bar to grab a quick double Margarita that was ok and left a $5 dollar tip that later became a $25 dollar tip, but not by my choice! it seems like the bartender took upon herself to add $20 extra dollars without my permission!!! I am very pissed off and noone has tried to return my call after i have left plenty off messages and came in the bar and gave the bartenders my contact info and still noone feels to care about their employee fromsteeling $20 dollars from me!!! Dont trust the people here!!! read more

We went to Winstons in between volleyball games . The bartender ( who is also one of the owners) was extremely rude. After ordering 7 drinks (3 of which were on their drink board ) , he says " you really gonna make me make drinks?" Ummm, thought you were a bartender. Then one of us put the straw that was in the drink on the bar , and the guy said " uh, that's a little bit close to my drink " . You are in a bar !!!! read more

On Wednesday nights in a part of town I dont usually venture in this neighborhood Irish bar features the $5 burger special with fries that is one of the better burgers in the city. A full size burger dressed with fries for $5 and its grilled and not flat top, ill take it. read more

READ the NEGATIVE reviews. Yelp lists "recommended" positive reviews so it makes the bar seem ok. The reviews referring to rude bartenders are true. RUDE. Ordered a beer. No one at the bar, one table of 4 in the whole place Bartender asks if I want to start a tab. I said no, I might have one might have two but not using a card and not going anywhere. He had me pay for the beer. If you are an out of towner this might not seem rude. But in OLD METAIRIE it's rude. Other places you chill. Periodically the bartender asks if you want another or want to order food. Never do they demand payment when you walk in the door. If you went to say Oscars, you'd drink your fill and eat a steak or burger and never in a million years be asked for money until you were done. AND THIS BAR HAS RITZ CARLTON PRICES WHICH ARE DOUBLE OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD PRICES. $8 For a draft beer. The same that is $4 OR $5 any other old Metairie bar. NOT NICE AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. (I love the ritz Carlton which has live music Jeremy davenport, gives you snack bites, has attentive waitresses, and a beer is worth it there) read more

This is one of Mr KC Masterpiece's favorite place. During our four day beer beige recently this was the first recommendation from him each night. On the fourth night I reluctantly agreed. This place gets way too packed. More than likely you won't find a seat here. They do have a patio out back but it's rather closed in. When it's 90 degrees and super humid, I doubt you'd want to sit out there. Maybe if they put up some fans.. The place gets an extra star for serving food after hours. Might have to give them extra two or three stars if you're starving. There's nothing to eat around there at night. Full bar but beer on tap is limited. They do have Guiness, my fav! read more

Not once in my life have I ever been treated so poorly by a bartender that clearly had no idea what she was doing. From the poor greeting, to the slow drinks that weren't mixed well, I'm underwhelmed. How you can possibly mess up a Tito's/soda, while being rude & simultaneously only paying attention to the old man (apparent sugar daddy) coddling her poor attitude. "Impressively poor" is the only way to describe this overall experience. As a new business owner in LA, I'll be sure to avoid this place like the plague of a bartender that runs it on a Tuesday night. read more

How have I missed this place for so many years? Oh, because of that invisible line between Jefferson Parish and Orleans...even though it literally only took us 3 minutes to get home to MidCity at the end of the night. Walking in, I knew there was something special. Beautiful atmosphere of a true English pub with large brown soft leather couches, wood paneled walls, British Flags and memorabilia, dim candle light. One from our group thought the place could be haunted... We all got a round of drinks at the bar, average pricing, quick and friendly service. The drinks were strong and it was easy to settle into the couches. As midnight approached, they seemed to have a surge of patrons, perhaps service industry workers coming off shift. It got a bit loud in the bar, so we decided to call it a night. Winston's feels like the kind of bar you just go to. Not a first stop, not a last stop...just the only stop. Would be easy to waist away the hours sipping on cocktails and enjoying easy conversation. There's something a bit transcendent about the place, I can't think of another Greater New Orleans area bar that has the same vibe. Good for locals and tourists alike! read more

Winston's used to be my neighborhood hangout, then it burned down... then I moved out of the neighborhood. Well, I just came back to town recently and heard that my old watering hole was back... so, I headed over to Winston's excited to see the big renovations. Surprisingly... absolutely nothing has changed. It literally looks EXACTLY as I remember it. Somehow they rebuilt it as if it never closed... which is fine with me! I found myself quickly right back at home and enjoying my favorite drink with a cigar and a couple of good friends. BOTTOM LINE: Why mess with a good thing? read more

Cool little British Pub. Dive enough to love and clean enough to yuppie about. Place actually has couches and shiz... Who does that? Nobody! That's why I love this place. Feelz like home. Well without the bill of course...and the nice ladies serving me beers... Or bringing my sammiches. Speaking of the food. You want loaded cheese fries? Well these guys have cheese waffle fries. With sour cream, bacon, jalapeño, and and..... Sorry got carried away. They are that good. Burgers was cooked to perfection and very large especially for the price so bring your appetite. Nice selection on draft too. So if yer filling up to it laddy...... Let's get pissed! read more

The best fish and chips I've had around here. Really good weekly specials. I've always had good service and the food and beer have always been outstanding read more

Winston's Pub & Patio is an inviting and cozy pub. The inside is set up like your favorite Uncle's living room. There are tables and a nice bar of course, but the best part of the inside are the comfortable couches. You can sit and relax and chat like you're in a living room. It's a great space. They even have board games and a few poker machines if your into that. Another awesome part of this pub is the patio. It's spacious and comfortable. They have a big TV outside for sports games when the weather is good. Winston's also has crawfish boils out in the patio area during crawfish season. It's a set price and you get a fixed amount of crawfish and all the sides. It's a good deal. They have seasonal drink specials and a decent selection of beer on tap. They also serve food, but it's nothing fancy just bar food. Although I'll admit I am a fan of the cheese fries. They use seasoned waffle fries and drown them with melted cheddar. The prices are decent and the bar tenders are always friendly. Check it out one day. I think you will like it too. read more

I have never been treated so rudely at an establishment in my life. I am someone who is kind to everyone and a total rule follower with an anxiety problem (like most millennials, am I right?!) I brought a cake (as I had done multiple other times for many occasions at this bar) to celebrate a friends promotion and upcoming new baby and a tablecloth to put under it. The owner immediately came over and rudely stated they do not allow gatherings with food and decorations. I explained it was just a cake and a tablecloth and a small group coming to have drinks after work. He stated there was already a large group coming and they called ahead and we won't be accommodated because he is working by himself. So a few people--on a Friday after work (when bars should usually expect an influx of professionals) could not accommodate a small group who wanted to purchase drinks and had a cake and a tablecloth. There was no sign indicating that the bar was closed for a private event and there were other random people sitting at the bar, but otherwise not a whole lot of people. Seems like bad business to me, but he will not have to worry about accommodating my friends and I in the future. On the other hand, Mamma's Place on Hesiod St. was so kind and welcomed us with open arms. We each purchased multiple beverages, left generous tips to thank them, cleaned up our belongings, and were gone by 6:45pm. read more

Decent bar with a Winston Churchill theme where most of the folks that live around Metairie Road seem to congregate. It seemed like more of a fun and happening spot before Katrina but it still gets quite crowded in here at times with a bit of an older crowd. They had a fire and had to do some remodeling repairs on the inside and they also built a nice deck patio in the back. The food is decent but the beer prices have been creeping up of late but thankfully they have finally gone smoke free inside. read more

Winston's has always been a favorite of mine. I don't know what it is. I really think that it's the atmosphere. The all wood interior really does make you feel as if you are in an English pub and the people here are always nice and friendly. I really like the fact that it doesn't get too crowded in here and most of the people are just stopping in to get a drink before going out or just to sit and chat with friends, I think that my favorite part has to be the leather couches that are off to the side. That little nook is so cozy and it feels like you are in a cabin somewhere. I really wish that they still had the jukebox with the Frank Sinatra albums on there, but oh well. They are currently renovating the patio, and when that is complete the bar will be completely smoke free inside. read more

Living in Old Metairie I've driven by Winston's countless times but until last night never been inside. Overall my experience was positive even if it was a mixed bag. GOOD: I really liked the ambiance and decorations. Really felt like a pub. GOOD: Pretty good tap selection, about a dozen beers listed on the board at the end of the bar. BAD: the Guinness is on a CO2 tap, which makes it taste funny and it lacks the signature bubbles. GOOD: The bartender was super friendly and attentive. Also when I opened a tab they swiped my credit card and handed it back. I wish more bars did that. BAD: While it wasn't too bad at first it was getting progressively smokier as our visit went on. GOOD: the food is standard pub food but done quite well. My companion had the fish & chips and said it was delicious. My chicken tenders were fried just right without being greasy and the sweet potato fries some of the best I've ever had. In cooler weather I'll certainly go back and check out the patio where the smoke won't gather and be an issue. read more

My grandparents live a 10 minute walk away. When you are staying with people who are in bed by 7:30-8:00, a place like this is a life saver. Like others said, it does get crowded, and can be hard to find a spot. I really wish they'd add fans outside. I like the decor and the feel. The people are really nice, and it feels almost like a townie bar some where else if all the townies were wealthy, smoked cigars, and drank scotch. Also, late night food service in Metairie is a HUGE plus. read more

Winston's is on point post COVID lockdown! They've got a great system setup...in addition to their usual lovely outdoor seating, they added a large tent with fans and tables that are adequately distanced, but still feels cozy. The employees are friendly and super attentive. They kindly relayed the rules to us in a welcoming and inviting way...and we had great drinks with a nice change of atmosphere! read more

Love this place. Great bartenders, amazing burger, and good music. Love coming here to have a cigar after work (only outside of course).

Wonderful place to hang out, relax and chat with friends. Super intimate. Very old school. Love.

Winston's is a nice class public house. This place is literally 5 mins from my buddy's new place and I've been here a couple times. It's a classic public house with a nice warm atmosphere, interesting decorations and cozy feel to it. Nice comfy couches to sit back and relax and drink a pint or few. My only gripe is that they could have a few more beers to choose from and the fish and chips were "ok". Not the best fish and chips I've had in a pub, but not the worst. I hear their burgers are great, so I'll get one of those instead from now on. I've not been out to the patio because it has rained EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I've gone there, but it sure looks nice as well. I'll be back often, that's for sure. read more
