Best neighborhood bar I have ever stepped foot in. I make it a point to rent a house near this great establishment everytime I visit NOLA. The service is always great, even on busy nights. The food is some of the best bar food I've ever had. The bacon wrapped hot dogs; fried shrimp; and queso dip are my favorites! Every night I go out on the town, I finish up here.
This is, bar none, the best bar in the city of New Orleans. Food - off the charts good. Drinks - put any beer garden to shame and the Dark & Stormy is the best around (they have ginger beer on tap). The people watching is unbelievable (I spent time with a woman who is in deep, committed love with her bearded dragon and a Rosie the Riviter look-a-like that makes chocolate (but doesn't sell it?!?). BUT...the best part is Mr. Roy Markie. A great man and fixture in the neighborhood. The service is unmatched. Do not miss this bar!
My mates and I never really venture too far outside our immediate neighbourhood in the lower French Quarter … that said, the three of us decided to explore the Bywater and stop by one of our ol’ faves — Markey’s Bar — and it DID NOT disappoint. Chapeau to bartenders Jordan and Kat for great service and even better smiles …
I love this place. The bartenders are great. The atmosphere is welcoming to both locals and tourists. The food is good too!
Great place to come to to watch the game. Friendly people and friendly staff. Food looked pretty great too!

Had a great time. Josh was a great bartender and the food was awesome. Just what you expect in New Orleans. The patrons were also all very friendly and a great bunch of fun-loving people from all over the country. Loads of fun
Friendly staff and clientele. Really great steak sammich.
Food is great, go every chance I get.
Love the place.
Friendly atmosphere, great Mardi Gras breakfast tacos at a very reasonable price. I'll be back sometime soon, I hope.
Loved the food, great vibe, friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more really.
What a place.
Love it . Thanks for being there. Nice drinks.
Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staff = amazing
Food = shut your mouth and eat it!
it's not really my neighborhood, but it's really my neighborhood bar.
Chicken strips & fries were awesome! Been going there since 1979 worked on the river drank my lunch with the old fellas back in the day still fun as ever great job Roy...
I love living just down the street from this cute little bar, the people are always so nice and the drinks are a great price! Not to mention the most stellar days ever when you see someone cooking outside and get to stop in for a bite!
Fun dive bar, serves great drinks and the best crawfish boil in New Orleans! Fast, great service and a laid back atmophere. Loved it, will be a regular spot.
Bustling neighborhood bar on NFL Sundays.
Otherwise, good neighborhood watering hole. A mix of regulars and visitors.

Came into visit the Bywater area. Went to Markey’s as it was close to the house we rented.
Jordan, what a perfect bartender and great person to convers with. We ended up drinking them outta Jack Daniels that Wednesday night. Came back Thursday, no Jack due to supply line issue. I gave Roy, the owner, a little grief about not having Jack. Little while later, as we sat outside, the bartender on duty walked out with a Jack for me. Told me Roy was able to talk his distributor into a bottle. THAT is customer service.
GREAT local bar, wish my local bar was this good.
Very cool old bar good full service but no food
We got in on a late flight to New Orleans, and this place was our introduction to the city. It was perfect. Stiff drinks, fresh po boys, and friendly staff. We’ll come back when we come back someday!
Great local sports/dive-ish bar/ New Orleans institution. Tons of TVs for games. Crawfish boils on Fri and Sun (seasonal), darts, shuffleboard, outdoor seating. Bartenders are great!! Friendly local crowd with some out-of-towners mixed in. Poker machines, so no kiddos allowed inside. Regular kitchen will be opening up again soon.
Great neighborhood bar--the nachos rocked.my.world and are now on my Top 5 list of Nest Nachos of My Lifetime 👏🙌
Attentive and accommodating bar staff--really welcoming to our large group of post-wedding out-of-towners ❤
One of our favorite local watering holes. Good food and great drinks. Plenty of tvs for watching the big game and they even have a few bar games for customer use.
I visit this place every time I’m in New Orleans. This is, to me, the epitome of a dive bar. I enjoy the beer selection and the food as well (reading the other reviews it seems they don’t serve food anymore though). I’m headed to NoLa next week and I can’t wait to go to Markeys and have a Pimms cup.
Loved this neighborhood bar when we lived in Bywater. I am only docking 1 star because of all the fair weather Eagles fans.
Our go to place for sports watching as they play the games with the volume on. No food so you get to bring in whatever you want to eat which is fine by me. People are friendly, lots of TVs darts, etc. Perfect.
Markey’s Bar is the second oldest family run bar in New Orleans! A landmark in the Bywater Roy Markey has continued the tradition of three generations making this a must do in New Orleans! Raise a pint of Guinness and enjoy the local crowds
Great old neighborhood bar that's been in the area for over 70 years. Friendly, attentive bartenders who'll remember you, and great music on the sound system. I couldn't put together a better Pandora mix. Food, shuffleboard, any game you want to watch...this place caters to a surprisingly wide variety of patrons. Highly recommended.
Very kind and competent bartenders, thank you!
Stopped here for late night drinks. Nice casual vibe. Friendly staff.
Great neighborhood bar! Watch sports on the many TV sets, eat good pizza and have a drink in a relaxed atmosphere. Numerous beers on tap and more in a bottle. All at a fair price.
