This is what a New Orleans sports bar should look like. Massive wooden bar, pressed tin ceiling, and enough TVs to satisfy the most dedicated fan. The weekend crowd is electric on Saints games. Wings and nachos done right.

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.
