Editorial Review for Johnny White's Sports Bar – by Kevin Forest Moreau
The Scene
This cozy hangout sits at one of the busiest intersections along bawdy Bourbon Street, attracting a broad cross-section of tourists and local characters. Street performers in full costume take breaks here, sipping Budweiser from cans while grooving to Ray Charles or Tom Waits on the CD jukebox. A life-size replica of legendary New Orleans eccentric Ruthie the Duck Girl leans against a street lamp in a tableau obviously dismantled from a Mardi Gras float.
The Draw
Given the prohibitive intimacy of this tiny corner bar, you won't find any dartboards or pool tables. But there's plenty of game atmosphere, courtesy of murals depicting local sports heroes, including the Saints, Tulane and "Pistol" Pete Maravich. Four mounted televisions tuned to cable sports channels keep patrons abreast of the latest athletic action.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoA sign on the wall advertises Johnny White's Sports Annex at 515 St. Philip St., complete with two pool tables and shuffleboard, but no such establishment occupies that address.

I competley agree with greyrooster99; this place is no sports bar. I was told that Johnny Whites Sports Bar was a possible place to watch a Saints game, and having visited Johnny Whites on St. Peters many times, thought I would give it a try. I was extremely disappointed; I asked the bartender if there was another room and I was told this was it. Barely any room, tiny TV(s), and dirty. We did not stick around to find out if they even had food. This is the last place I would go to watch a game. Johnny Whites on St. Peters is a great little hole in the wall with a great juke.

Three cheers for staying open throughout Hurricane Katrina. It's great to see that places are re-opening now, but I'm seriously impressed that Johnny White's never closed. :)
