Phoenix Bar

Respect the rules and you will have a fantastic time! One of the last true wonderful "seedy" bars left in New Orleans. No clothes check but bring a small plastic bag if you wish to take your shirt off. If you are thoughtful to the staff they will keep it for you. Tip them well too! I would recommend the second floor restroom if you need to relieve yourself due to the space to spread out.

Do not go here! They encourage police brutality. If you go to an event here and it gets too “rowdy” or “political” they’ll call the cops on their own patrons and you could possibly be detained! Edit: There’s a fine line between “supporting the police” and encouraging unnecessary brutality/arrests against queer patrons. There’s a lot of other bars that do not try to suppress free speech and allow queer people to be their authentic, dissenting selves- this bar is not one of them.

The best bar in town. The staff is wonderful and we had a great fun on Sunday with the Italian guys dancing on the dancefloor. Thank you very much for your hospitality. See you soon

It's fine. Don't bring a party here unless the bar is hosting it

Worst service I've ever experienced. The upstairs barteneder was ok, but downstairs he was as rude as can be.

Great bar, friendly people, great bartenders.

There are some very dark and questionable things that are going on upstairs. Door man could have warned us but instead just said good luck f#%*ing!!

I have had a working relationship with the Phoenix for years now and I can’t say enough good things about it. It provides a wonderful indoor and outdoor space for the LGBT community to socialize and relax, with very fair beverage pricing. Additionally, their store has a variety of merchandise like leather, toys, apparel, and other supplies. Easily my favorite gay bar in New Orleans!

Great place for cheap drinks and fun times. A good feeling and the bartenders are very friendly. Every time I go I feel welcome and for whatever reason I have the most intense conversations with people. Also the leather shop is awesome. All around a good energy with the right amount of debauchery lol.

The bar service here is always friendly and efficient. Excellent craft beer selection. Really reasonable pricing and a great happy hour. The COK shop is awesome also, great selection to meet all of your expectations. Other services can also be found at the top which are great as well! All in all, whether you are just visiting or you live here, this place will fulfill your needs.
