Checking Out the New Orleans Dive Bar Scene

Dive bars are a staple of any serious drinker’s routine. These hole-in-the-wall bars are perfect when you just want to relax and they’re usually filled with friendly regulars, so it’s easy to meet someone new. Snake and Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge is by far one of the best known. This haven of cheap drinks and a moody atmosphere is a must to visit for every New Orleans’ dweller. For a dive bar with some truly bizarre décor, head to Mayfair Lounge. It’s like Mardi Gras never ends at this uptown watering hole. And if you find yourself in the French Quarter, try The Abbey, another wonderful hole-in-the-wall that caters to all your drinking needs.
