The Saint Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in New Orleans

Good Dive bar that sometimes has live music and Sunday is usually horror movie early and old school country music DJ night later. Crowd varies between punk rockers, metal rockers, hipsters, and normal people just out late boozing. Used to be a great Sunday late night hang out before Katrina but now it is a lot more difficult to pin down when it will be a good night. I used to go a lot more and especially on Sundays but I rarely make it there anymore due to the inconsistent crowd. They have expanded the bar a bit with a back room and patio lately but I've not really used those as I usually stick close to the bar. They also close a bit before or at dawn so that can be a tad disappointing if you're ready to keep going. The pre-hipster crowd days were a lot more fun as hipters are largely useless creatures and nowhere nearly as fun as the metal and punk rock party people. Used to be a lot cheaper to drink in the joint and prices seem to have gone up a bit much for the location to make the hipsters feel more hip. It is also a bit irritating that they often neglect to stock the bar and frequently seem to be out of things. If you don't know where you're going you will probably have a hard...

Eclectic crowd comprised of peoples mainly in their late 20s and early 30s, but that isn't to say there aren't people in there 40's and 50's either. One of the better late night bars (1am-7am) in NOLA, not to mention the varying crowd keeps things fresh and stands apart from your standard late night staples that tend to go stale. It can be rather hipster, but New Orleans seems to be going that route these daze in general.

In a nutshell, this place won me over with their Frozen Dranks. THEY....

when other bars say, "You don't have to go home, but ya can't stay here." they mean, go to the Saint. the best place in Nola when you just aren't ready to call it a night... but the clock disagrees. It is a locals spot with a very eclectic clientele. Don't be intimidated by the outside appearance or grumpy door guy. (he is just there so the Riff-raff feel welcome. Once inside, the vibe is fun and inclusive. Even though the crowd is full of counter culture, you'll be accepted even if you aren't. great Dj specialty nights too. The Saint is the type of bar that exemplifies the Spirit of the New...
