Not a place to go if you have your "Frat on" in terms of they do not appreciate the.... You can see it right from Bourbon, it is a good place to duck into to get away from the people with their Frat on.
Just renovated with a nice bar and clean interior.
Open 24 hours 7 days a week
Open 24 hours. Just like the bar where you hang out at home.
Flanagan's is known for its Shepherd's Pie and meatloaf, but many locals come in to dine on their delicious daily specials, as well as their selection of vegetarian choices. Flanagan's is mostly a local hang out, but once tourists find the pub they stay to eat and drink. The kitchen is open from 10am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, Friday and Saturday10am till 12am. A personal favorite is the "Huge Freakin' Nachos," never did you see such an immense amount of cheese, black beans and fresh peppers and onions! The portions are huge by any traveler's standards; you won't leave here hungry or unsatisfied. Flanagan's, which is licensed as a restaurant, is open to tourists of any age.
Hello Travelers!
New Orleans has a lot of pubs that never close or what the locals call “industry bars” so if you are looking for a place to wind down or want to insure a hangover there are plenty of options. These places offer drink prices well below average to those adventurous enough to find them. And when we say “adventurous enough” we mean that you might go100 feet from Bourbon Street or poke your head into a place on Lower Decatur. True, they are what most would call dives, but we like to call them nexuses to the local colour, not to mention that they are effective budget preservation and rehabilitation.
iKangaroo surveyed 100+ bars in NOLA and the average price of a premium beer bottle is ~$4.50 so each of the listed bars are 10-20% below the average.
1. Aunt Tiki’s: 1207 Decatur St. New Orleans Premium beer bottle $3.50
With a tag line like, “we only have one door so we can’t close it,” this place is another friendly local joint on Lower Decatur. They specialize in Bloody Mary’s and are famous for $1.75 cans of PBR. And yes, they really only do have one door. Credit cards are no good no good here so bring your cash.
2. The Abbey: 1123 Decatur St. New Orleans Premium beer bottle $3.50
Smoke filled local hang out that never seems to be completely empty. The regulars are friendly and proud of their watering hole to the point where many of them took our reviewer aside to specifically state that more visitors should stop in The Abbey.
3. Flanagan’s: 625 St. Philip New Orleans Premium beer bottle $3.50
Flanagan’s is an all around fantastic pub: it serves food -until 10:00pm Sun to Thursday and until 2:00am on Fri and Sat- it has a pool table, it is the meeting spot for French Quarter Phantom Tours, pints of Guinness are only $4.00 and it has free WiFi. Let’s just say that Flanagan’s is a 24 hour-one-stop-information-cheap beer-good food-shop/pub.
4. Johnny White’s: 733 St. Peter St. New Orleans Premium beer bottle $3.50
Located just across from Pat O’s on the corner of St. Peter’s and Bourbon. Open 24 hours a day for the last 14 years, that includes during Katrina.
5. The Boondock Saint: 731 St. Peter St. New Orleans Premium beer bottle $4.00
The Boondock Saint is a clean, friendly bar with great prices that shows the movie Boondock Saint on a constant loop. Another so-called industry bar which it is filled with locals late-night so do not be surprised if you are sitting next to the bartender who you stiffed earlier that night; or better yet the one who you were especially generous to.
Happy Tavels and hangover,

i have to say, the only one of these i’ve been to is boondocks, but of all the bars i’ve visited in nola, it’s my favorite. the bar tenders are great, remember you by name(even on a once-yearly visit basis!), & make sure you’re having fun. cheap drinks, cozy atmosphere, & just a hell of a time. i’m going back in early august, & i cannot wait!!
