Johnny White's

We LOVE Lucy!!. I could never imagine watching the antics of Bourbon Street from anywhere but the bar stools in the corner of Johnny Whites Hole in the Wall. We were down there for 5 nights and 3 of those nights we NEVER left this bar! The atmosphere reflects exactly who we are, low key, smarta**ed, and close knit. The bartenders are good and the boys at the door are something to behold. However, one thing sticks out at this bar more than anything else, LUCY. You will never find a bartender better on the Quarter. Even if YOUR the bartender. Thanks again to the staff of Johnny Whites for making us feel at home. See ya next go round.…

Best Dive Bar in the World. Johnny White's is the best dive bar in the world. All of New Orleans are regulars. Some may come everyday, some once a week, some once a month, but when you walk in, you'll know someone or they'll soon be there.



I've gone back after 1, 2, 5, 10 years and nothing had changed. If I didn't see anyone I remembered, the bartender would remember them and know what happened to them or when they would be in. In most cases at least one of the bartenders would have been there when I was last there.



The reason why everybody adopts Johnny White's as some kind of home-office-gathering place is dependability.



1. In a lifetime of living in or going back to New Orleans, the one thing that you can count on still being there is Johnny White's. Businesses change or go broke all the time in the Quarter but Johnny White's just keep on trucking along.



2. There are no doors. If that doesn't tell you they're open all the time then you weren't there during Hurricane Katrina. It was the only bar that rode it out open.



3. $3 for a 20 oz. draft - during Mardi Gras!! Are you kidding? All, count them, all bars and restaurants double their prices at Mardi Gras. Not Johnnys.



4. Pictures and doodads going back 30+ years decorate all the walls. This shows there have been many regulars for many years and many of them, long gone, still come back when they can.



5. Then there's the absolute best view of life passing by in the Quarter out the always open doors. They also give the impression that anyone is welcome, anytime.



I'm going back to Mardi Gras this year. When I wheel into the French Quarter, the first place I will go will be Johnny White's. Maybe I'll see you there.…

Greatest Bar in "da 1/4" If not in the world!. No Need for a happy hour in this Bar. It is by far the cheapest watering hole in the city. "White's", as the locals call it has long been a tradition in the quarter for almost 40 years. Sitting at the bar you will find local bartenders, musicians and business men (and women alike), and even a few tourists. Stop by for one of their famous Bloody Mary's or some pony races with the bartender (they'll have to tell you when you get there).

Great staff! Great Bar! Great people!

This is definitely an oasis from the hustle of Bourbon st.…

New Orleans' Best Washington Redskins Bar. Cheers in the Crecent City. As an out-of-towner, the bartenders make you feel like you are a regular and a local. The "Hole-in-the-Wall" location is a great Washington Redskins bar where bartender Lucy never needs encouragement to blast "Hail to the Redskins" over the sound system. Never had a bad time there.…
