About Good Friends Bar

Good Friends Bar offers a calmer counterpoint to the loudest stretches of nearby Bourbon Street. The multi-level setup gives you a few ways to settle in, from the large mahogany bar downstairs to the upstairs Queen’s Head Pub and balcony outlook. It suits an unhurried drink, a catch-up with friends or a casual sports watch, while karaoke and special events add more energy on selected nights. The atmosphere is friendly and unfussy, making it one of the easiest French Quarter gay bars to drop into without a detailed plan.

What to expect

A casual multi-level gay bar with a local feel, conversation-friendly corners and occasional karaoke or event energy.

A massive kudo and shout out to Kory and his team - they put together the night of my dreams! They reserved the best balcony table, had champagne and gave us great seats to watch Krewe du Vieux. Do you want a special experience ? Call and book!

Jessica is a true local, and you can feel her love for New Orleans in everything she does. Her energy is contagious, her hospitality is genuine, and she makes every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in. On top of that, she makes some of the best cocktails we’ve had in the city—perfectly crafted, balanced, and served with a smile. What stood out most wasn’t just the drinks, but Jessica’s spirit. She represents the warmth, personality, and charm that make New Orleans such a special place to visit. Employees like her create memories that people take home long after their vacation is over. I also hope more people consider visiting New Orleans during the summer. Yes, it’s warmer, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to experience this amazing city while supporting the local businesses, bartenders, servers, musicians, and families who make New Orleans so unique. Your visit truly helps the community. Thank you, Jessica, for making our visit unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be recommending Good Friends to everyone we know.

The Good Friends Bar is a great French Quarter drinking spot where almost anyone will feel comfortable. The drinks are reasonable and the service is prompt and friendly. The upstairs can be a bit loud for our taste but a lot of folks really like it that way. I have never seen food served in the but who knows.

This place is so much fun, my friends and I went bar hopping and consistently kept coming back here like it was our beacon. Also all the staff is so nice and lovely. Great time all around, thanks for making our trip so fun.

Visited with the wife and had an awsome time. Joseph, the bartender, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. We received our drinks and sat by the fireplace, wonderful. Very good atmosphere and ambiance. I highly recommend checking this place out. 👍👍
