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!

Are good friends bar was the very first stop in the French quarter ended up being a perfect kickoff to our trip. We came here to meet up with friends who are visiting New Orleans at the same time and it couldn't have been a better spot to reconnect. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming exactly what you want from a great local neighborhood bar. The bartender was fantastic to chat with making amazing cocktails while keeping the conversation fun and easy. Catching up with friends and enjoying the vibe. If you're looking for a comfortable friendly place to start your night or end it this bar is definitely worth the visit. A true local gym in the French quarter.

Good Friends is definitely my favorite gay bar in the New Orleans area! It's fun and lively without being too crazy/clubby like Oz is. The drinks aren't too expensive. And I honestly love the decor inside, especially on the second floor. I'm 30, and I also feel like the age mix is just right - not too young but not too old either. If you're a local or just traveling to New Orleans for vacation, definitely check it out if you want a fun night out 🙂

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.

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. 👍👍
