Best neighborhood bar I have ever stepped foot in. I make it a point to rent a house near this great establishment everytime I visit NOLA. The service is always great, even on busy nights. The food is some of the best bar food I've ever had. The bacon wrapped hot dogs; fried shrimp; and queso dip are my favorites! Every night I go out on the town, I finish up here.
This is, bar none, the best bar in the city of New Orleans. Food - off the charts good. Drinks - put any beer garden to shame and the Dark & Stormy is the best around (they have ginger beer on tap). The people watching is unbelievable (I spent time with a woman who is in deep, committed love with her bearded dragon and a Rosie the Riviter look-a-like that makes chocolate (but doesn't sell it?!?). BUT...the best part is Mr. Roy Markie. A great man and fixture in the neighborhood. The service is unmatched. Do not miss this bar!
I love living just down the street from this cute little bar, the people are always so nice and the drinks are a great price! Not to mention the most stellar days ever when you see someone cooking outside and get to stop in for a bite!
Fun dive bar, serves great drinks and the best crawfish boil in New Orleans! Fast, great service and a laid back atmophere. Loved it, will be a regular spot.
Bustling neighborhood bar on NFL Sundays.
Otherwise, good neighborhood watering hole. A mix of regulars and visitors.

Came into visit the Bywater area. Went to Markey’s as it was close to the house we rented.
Jordan, what a perfect bartender and great person to convers with. We ended up drinking them outta Jack Daniels that Wednesday night. Came back Thursday, no Jack due to supply line issue. I gave Roy, the owner, a little grief about not having Jack. Little while later, as we sat outside, the bartender on duty walked out with a Jack for me. Told me Roy was able to talk his distributor into a bottle. THAT is customer service.
GREAT local bar, wish my local bar was this good.
Very cool old bar good full service but no food
We got in on a late flight to New Orleans, and this place was our introduction to the city. It was perfect. Stiff drinks, fresh po boys, and friendly staff. We’ll come back when we come back someday!
Great local sports/dive-ish bar/ New Orleans institution. Tons of TVs for games. Crawfish boils on Fri and Sun (seasonal), darts, shuffleboard, outdoor seating. Bartenders are great!! Friendly local crowd with some out-of-towners mixed in. Poker machines, so no kiddos allowed inside. Regular kitchen will be opening up again soon.
Great neighborhood bar--the nachos rocked.my.world and are now on my Top 5 list of Nest Nachos of My Lifetime 👏🙌
Attentive and accommodating bar staff--really welcoming to our large group of post-wedding out-of-towners ❤
One of our favorite local watering holes. Good food and great drinks. Plenty of tvs for watching the big game and they even have a few bar games for customer use.
I visit this place every time I’m in New Orleans. This is, to me, the epitome of a dive bar. I enjoy the beer selection and the food as well (reading the other reviews it seems they don’t serve food anymore though). I’m headed to NoLa next week and I can’t wait to go to Markeys and have a Pimms cup.
