Here’s what one customer says about Bullet’s Sports Bar: “One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a live music venue. We went on a Tuesday evening. India the bartender was super accommodating and friendly. The entire staff and customers made us feel welcome. We got to meet Kermit Ruffins too! One of the best experiences we had on our our trip to New Orleans!”

The Jimani

141 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA 70130 |  (504) 524-0493

Here’s what one customer says about The Jimani: “Visiting from South Dakota, and came in tonight after a reading a review in the fall restaurant guide. The food is awesome (Steak Po Boy on point). Incredible selection of beers and expansive menu for such a small space. Super friendly space and a ton of TVs to enjoy any sporting event. The perfect little bar, some would call it a dive bar, but it doesn’t do it justice.”

Jockey’s Pub & Sports Bar

841 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119 | (504) 309-9727

Here’s what one bar fan says about Jockey’s: “I have been to this place twice, once to see LSU beat Bama and last Sunday for the Saints/Carolina game. Both times I had a great experience. The volume for the games was very good so all could hear. The service was great and the folks there were amazing. I struck up some great conversation. I though by myself, had an awesome time on both occasions. Highly recommend.”

J&J’s Sports Lounge

800 France St, New Orleans, LA 70117 |  (504) 942-8877

Here’s what one bar fan says about J&J’s: “Game days look and feel different now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a cold beverage, in a great bar! Tables are spaced out, there is no standing at the bar and there is plenty of hand sanitizer on site. Each time your Saints score, you can hear the cowbells!”

Mid City Yacht Club

440 S St Patrick St, New Orleans, LA 70119 |  (504) 483-2517

Here’s what one bar fan says about Mid City Yacht Club: “Great bar for casual drinks, catching a game, and goooood food. The vibe is non-pretentious and everyone, even the patrons, are friendly. Typical bar food but isn’t soggy and greasy like some places can be. Highly recommend!”
