About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Fri, Sat, Sun

Pal's Lounge opens daily at 3pm and runs until 3am, making it a solid after-hours stop in Mid-City New Orleans. This pin-up themed dive bar has been around since the 1920s, with a past life as an old-man bar called Yvonne's before reopening as Pal's in 2002. You'll find a full bar, outdoor seating, free wifi, and a casual vibe that welcomes dogs.

The crowd is mixed and local, with board games, air hockey, and a jukebox you can DJ yourself. Food comes from rotating local pop-ups, so check who's cooking before you go. Happy hour is a thing here, and weekend nights are the busiest. If you're bar-hopping, The Saint Bar & Lounge is another nearby spot worth a look.
