Best Sports Bars in New Orleans

Saints game day institution since 1984. The energy here on Sunday is unmatched. Creole-American food cooked in an open kitchen, cold beer, and the kind of crowd that bleeds black and gold. No reservations on game days.

New Orleans' best Irish sports pub. Full Irish breakfast served all day. They pull a perfect pint of Guinness and the bar staff actually care about the games on screen. Soccer, rugby, American football, all with equal passion.

Fine dining brasserie that transforms on Saints game day. Oysters at the bar, impeccable service, and a clientele of CBD professionals who care deeply about the Saints. Upscale without being stuffy.

Tulane crowd mixed with serious Saints fans. Cheap beer, loud atmosphere, and walls covered with Saints memorabilia. The kind of bar where strangers become friends during fourth quarters. Cash preferred.

Four hundred beers on tap. Every game you could want to watch. The crowd is serious about sports and serious about beer education. Casual vibe, knowledgeable staff, and an endless tap list to explore.

Divey, beloved, and packed to capacity on NFL Sundays. No frills, just locals who care about the games. Cheap drinks, strong pours, and the kind of rowdy energy that defines New Orleans sports culture.

Saints bar with character. Cold Abita on draft, wings that hold their own against the best in the city, and a crowd that knows this is where serious fans gather. Perfect for after-work games.

Twenty-four hour pub with 40 taps and late-night sports. The 3am EST games matter here. Garden District location keeps it slightly more refined, but the sports passion is just as fierce.

Game day in the French Quarter done right. Tourist crowd mixed with locals who understand the stakes. Multiple levels, strong pours, and the chaotic energy you expect from Bourbon Street on Saints Sunday.

Whiskey bar that takes sports surprisingly seriously. More refined than typical game day spots, with bourbon selections to rival any in the city. Large screens, comfortable seating, and a knowledgeable bartender.
