6701 N Peters St, Arabi

“Nice little place tucked away in Old Arabi, right across the street from the Mississippi river. Go catch some live music then walk up the levee across the street and watch a few boats pass by while taking in some fresh air. You won't find "Old Arabi" on the map, its just Arabi but this section was the first section settled.“

“Best fast food in New Orleans! Some of the best food period! Went there after looking for places open late at night, and was pleasantly surprised by this place. Def a hole in the wall, but a diamond in the rough as well. Had the vegan GF burger and I couldn’t believe the buns were GF. Normally, any GF bread tastes like a salty sponge, but this almost had this buttery croissant-like consistency. It was better than regular bread honestly. Cannit recommend it highly enough!Dietary restrictions: Best GF and vegan food in New Orleans, no contest.“

“‘Let me take you to my favorite new bar,' says my fun seeking Sista. Walking in New Orleans on a hot sticky crowded sunny day, my Sista sees a neatly tucked away bar from the dirty street, peaks her pretty head through and is drawn into the luxuriously well air conditioned darkly lit bar. What a surprise treat! $5 great Bloody Mary with vegetable infused vodka and pickled okra (see photo). Awe. Hits the spot. My Sista has good taste and she was right. This was exactly the cool a$$ spot we needed to retreat, ingest nice drinks, and enjoy fun friendly interesting camaraderie building barkeep all in serene comfort and fun vibes that resemble a nice ole bar we would like to be a regular. I'm upset we don't have more days to come back to this bar. Claire's Pour we will be fly back just to see you soon. I promise.“

“Is a great neighborhood/dive bar. Like most neighborhood bars, it can also tend to be cliquey, but as stated before, it's also a laid-back divey bar. Most people still have zero reservation about chatting it up with a friendly or interesting face. The bartenders will pour the same whether it is an old regular or a new transplant looking for a bar to have a few beers at not too far from the house.“

“Said to be the oldest bar in Louisiana (and one the oldest in the good ol’ US of A), it definitely had a rustic charm. The Sazerac I received from the friendly bartender was on point, and my wife loved the giant frozen purple drank thing she ordered. This is a popular spot, for sure. We got there early afternoon on a weekday and it wasn’t too crowded, but we passed by a couple times later over the weekend and it was crazy busy - which is probably alright if you like that kind of vibe. Definitely check it off your list when you’re in NOLA.“
