New Orleans takes its sports seriously and the city’s bars reflect that in every neighborhood. From French Quarter institutions to Mid-City craft brewery taprooms, there’s no shortage of places to catch the Saints, Pelicans or your favorite college team.
What makes New Orleans sports bars special is they combine the city’s famous hospitality, culinary excellence and party spirit with the communal experience of watching sports. You’re not just watching a game, you’re participating in a cultural ritual that brings together people from all walks of life.
Whether you’re looking for a family friendly environment with activities for the kids, a craft beer haven with dozens of options on tap or a dive bar filled with die-hard fans, we’ve got you covered. Book early for big games, especially Saints season, and don’t be surprised when the whole bar erupts in a spontaneous “Who Dat” chant after a touchdown.
