If I were forced to name the one quintessential New Orleans dive bar, the Chart Room would have to be at the top. Great and very friendly service, liberal pours and a great grungy atmosphere. This place has it all. This is a cash only bar, but with an ATM in house. A primarily locals bar that anyone

Been drinking the $2 Draft Highlife and the ice cold Heineken here since 1998! Always good drinks and best prices too. Love the New Orleans music on the old jukebox! Lots of Quarter locals in the day and service industry peeps late at night. Friendly bartenders too! Thanks for letting me hang out y'
I was told this place was where the locals hang out and I can see why. Great spot right on the corner. Bartenders were very friendly and attentive. It’s cash only, but they have an ATM right in the bar for you.
This place was a nice place for a quick stop. We needed a place to sit down for a few minutes because we had been walking all day.
There are tables and benches to sit at. The staff was very friendly. Restrooms are in the very back.

Best local bar in the Quarter!! Cash only but the friendliest, real people you'll ever met.
Nice, dark and quiet beer bar... that’s the way I want it... bar-woman was so sweet and kind and they have a great beer selection but try their draft beers for sure... everything was perfect and the music was suitable... cheep quality bar for me... worth to pay a visit...
Adorable dive bar. With strong cheap drinks and quick service. It was cash only but there is an ATM on site!
Great little hidden gem. Nice vibe, music and atmosphere. Drinks reasonably priced too.
Nice vibe, cheap prices and a great bartender!
All cash dive bar with the most extraordinary Bloody Mary I've ever had. Recommended.
Just got stellar service from bartender Erica! Nicest bartender I've met yet in the city. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for affordable drinks and good company.
One of my favorite local spots in NOLA. Always a delightfully interesting mix of people and it’s a great corner for people watching. Erica is my favorite bartender in the whole city! So much fun!
Great place and the drinks are very well priced! In short, they don’t stick it to you like on Bourbon Street!
Nice little locals bar I enjoy going there when I'm passing through the quarter.
Best little bar in the French quarter. The bartender Erica is the best! Affordable, cozy, local. A must do!
Great Dive Bar in the French Quarter. Great atmosphere and staff that display great customer service.
