Fahy's Irish Pub — Restaurant in New Orleans

We stopped in not far from our hotel. It is nice that it is more 'local'. We sat down and felt comfortable enough to stay. We ordered a couple of drinks without a problem, but the bartender probably did not peg us as quite fitting in. Then right away this super scetchy 'local' starts talking to us at the bar. She was hard to talk to and came across as just trying to find issue with what you are saying; it was impossible to find any substance in anything she said. Then suddenly she orders a shot for the 3 of us to share, it was made from kahula and vodka in a 12 oz plastic cup with 3 straws. Now that is a big shot even for 3 people. So I look at the drink and decided I would not like it because I don't like Kahlua nor vodka. But, my wife did try one sip before anyone else had touched it. But the the sketchy local says 'No, we all drink it together.' At that point it got scary. So we just sat there and stared her down until she left. So the game was we think she was going to spit a spike into that awful drink and then rob us later with friends. But it gets worse. She never paid for that drink. We did not pay for it, and it sat on the bar until we left. The bartender and this woman were full on board with this scheme. To make it even better, we got photographs of these two and actually got the full on attention of the police, filled a report, and criminal charges are being filed this week. Even if there is no conviction, we have plenty of probable cause to pursue the easier civil action. Now I'm not saying to avoid this place, but be aware in NO that these workers and street people can and do work together. So have fun,...

Incredibly confused about all the good reviews. (Probably regulars with house tabs) The bartender on the night we dropped in was the rudest I've ever encountered. He was responding to all of my fiancė's questions with an attitude which I could not understand cause you will not meet a kinder more well mannered Irish Alabama boy than my guy. It's like the bartender didn't want us there. When we tried ordering drinks he acted as if we were being bothersome. My fiancè was so annoyed he couldn't even bring himself to take the beer he ordered off the counter, I had to get it and we left. Upon taking a sip outside I noticed the beer tasted like stomach acid and it left a horrible taste on my tongue and throat. I spat it out and drank soda hoping to get the taste out. It was literally the foulest beer I've ever had in my entire life. This pub leaves a lot to be desired, it's old, run down, dirty and the staff is extremely rude and unfriendly. Only good thing I can say is I'm lucky I didn't get a chance to eat there. I...

Rob is an absolutely amazing bartender and he always has a very personable and New Orleans way about interacting with people. By that I mean he is always good to tell you what drinks are stupid, a waste of your time, I won't give you the buzz that you need when you're asking for a legitimate drink to get you where you need to get, he will give you an honest opinion of what you actually need to get, based off of what you actually want to get rather than what will get him the best sales. Go with him. I am a native, and I'm also in the service industry, I'm used to people telling me what I want to hear to placate me and just make me happy, he is not somebody that will do that to you which is for the best, he is somebody who will recommend the drink you need to have when you need to have it and if you have drank too much he will tell you that you need to get water and things like that are absolutely necessary. What that said here's a series of picture of me being buzzed and wanting to...
