Bar Redux

Wonderful food, would not be able to say enough about it. I’ve eaten there several times and it’s all top of the line. I live right here in the neighborhood and will continue to go there at the drop of a hat. Nice patio out back and nice entertainment. Love living so close.. . Score.

Dive bar? Maybe if you’re from Cali or New Jersey? Cheap good eats? I paid $ 10 for a «bowl» of jambalaya, against my better judgment, and I got three huge pieces of toast and three spoonfulls of jambalaya flavored rice. Worst deal I’ve ever had in New Orleans. Maybe I shouldn’t judge based on one experience, but the gall of anyone to serve me $ 3 worth of mediocre jambalaya for $ 10 and present themselves as a cheap locals kind of place; it just pisses me off. This is just another one of those places capitalizing on the New Orleans look and how cool it is if you just moved here from somehwere else where you are used to higher prices and low quality.

So I had the veggie burger which is made in house and let me tell you, you will not find a better one than in this place. I forgot how much I loved this place!

First time here. Came for the food, not the rock music (not my swag). My boyfriend had the fried chicken and red beans. The whole dish was awesome. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. I had the Cuban sandwich. It was delightful. I’ll be back to try other items on the menu.

Calvin cooks his ass off, seriously. His dirty rice is the best I’ve ever had. Cute little place with a warm ambience and some cool collectibles scattered throughout. There’s an outdoor patio area with live music. and movies on Wednesday nights. Friendly owners… Most of the time. … On site mingling with the guests which adds a nice touch. Damian makes a mean ass daiquiri according to my friend. …I can’t attest to that because i don’t drink hard alcohol.. But I did order a beer and it was served up no problem lickity split. Cool artwork on the outside too. I would definitely recommend this great little gem in the bywater

Bar Redux is my jam. No frills but the best people you will find around. The owner has always been super nice to me and the staff is very friendly. I’ve come to several shows here as well as to just hangout. I’ve always left with a smile on my face. The back patio reminds you of hanging out at your friend’s house. I’ve come here several times when Bacchanal is flowing into the street and have always been pleased with my decision. The décor is very cool and the space is small but workable. This is a great neighborhood bar where you can grab a good bite to eat and good chatter with your friends. I loved the laidback atmosphere that is a night without shows but there are some great burlesque and music acts to catch here as well. This place has fun people and nothing too complicated, it’s great!

This was my last spot before leaving NOLA on my trip. It’s a family own bar and everyone is awesome here from the staff to the locals. Music was good and food was excellent. Next time I visit I will def stop back in here. Best place to just chill and chat it up with locals.

Another Bywater Gem!
Football season is among us and my friends and I needed a cool, laid back, not overly crowded place to catch the game. Bar Redux delivered on all fronts!
Dive bar atmosphere, neighborhood regulars, cheap & tasty bar bites, taste testing the upcoming Saints season signature shots, cool ass owner who indulged our bar talk banter, and an outside patio that will make you feel like you were catching the game at home. Sign.Me.Up.Anytime.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite the preseason opening loss. Either way I’ve found me a game day hangout not to far from home that’s pretty damn cool.

I like Bar Redux. I really like Bar Redux.
This place makes you feel like you are hanging out in a friend’s basement. I said that same thing about Dos Jefes, but the difference here is that the basement belongs to a cool friend and not your parents. The bar is on the divier side, but the staff is friendly and eager to please. It’s definitely a neighborhood place and that patrons are more than happy to make a bit of chit chat.
On this particular night the patio was closed, because there was no band, so I didn’t really get to get a feel of that part of the place. It was also really hot out, so I wasn’t complaining. I’ve also heard that they have amazing food, so I will have to see what the kitchen has to offer when I return.

This cool little dive at the very bottom of the 9^th has surprisingly delicious vegetarian food. They prepare all veggie dishes on a separate surface to ensure no cross contamination happens. I’m not a strict vegetarian, though I appreciate when a place does it right for those who are. The veggie burger is the best I’ve had anywhere in New Orleans, by a long shot. If you like meat too, get it with bacon. It’s outstanding. The bartenders are friendly, nice outside area for live music. Good all around.

Just ate the most delicious rib eye cheesesteak, because it was Calvin’s top recommendation from the kitchen. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Tender, well seasoned rib eye, perfectly baked, crusty bread and peppers and cheese to top it off. Great service from the bartender too — introduced us to the wonder of grapefruit bitters in a High Life (so much better than you’d probably think it could be).
They serve food here until they close — which is 4AM. Come on by and say hi. I think you’ll be pleased — or at the very least, not disappointed.

Surprisingly really good food. Got in late and it was the only place open. Despite the appearance of the outside building, the back
Patio was nice and perfect for what we wanted. I had the ribeye cheesesteak which was huge and very flavorful and my wife had the red beans & hot sausage patties and it was good too. Large portions, friendly service, would definitely frequent it often if
We lived here

I rarely give poor reviews, but holy crap was the service here TERRIBLE. The bartender gave us nothing but a snide attitude since we came in! We wanted to order a few drinks she said we had to wait. Ok no prob. I ask her for some menus for drinks. Their menu is a food menu. No biggie. My friends order. Two beers, me a ginger beer (dd) She takes the order and has an attitude with each order we give (especially mine). Sorry we inconvenienced your establishment with business. Take a course in front of the house hospitality Ms. Snide bartender. Even though we sat at a table, please dont assume menus imply food service. Drink menus are no where to be found. And there was no room at the bar for us.

Was on my way to Bachanal after work on Friday and spotted this place. They have a large sign that just says «Bar» out front; I’m intrigued.
I walked in past a few tables out front with a couple customers, and the bartender came inside and chatted with me – very friendly. I was surprised to learn the place has been open a year, and I’ve never seen or heard of it. They apparently do a lot of events like open mics, comedy, and DJs. Will have to come check it out again.
A cheap, ice cold High Life was all I needed, and they delivered. Great, homey, neighborhood bar. Amazing patio out back – about 7 tables plus a large bench. A breeze and shade from a tree are perfect with a cold beer after a long week.
Can’t speak on food, but if I come back, I’ll update the review.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place. The patrons and owners were quirky, and the music was eclectic, but overall the place had a friendly, laid back vibe. We sat out on the back patio under a tree lit up with lights. The ambiance was lovely. The owner came out and sat down at our table, introducing herself and asking if we had any questions. She made some recommendations and then took our order. My vegan quinoa burger with added bacon (since I’m clearly not vegan) was tasty and MASSIVE. Everything is made in house and you can taste the quality. My girlfriend got the gumbo and loved it. Overall a successful little place with good food. If I lived in the area I may even become a regular.

In a perfect world, we’d all have a corner bar like this one: family owned and operated, with a welcoming attitude that makes even out-​of-​towners feel like family from the first visit. Good food. GREAT gumbo. Jazz and blues and Motown sounds on the jukebox. Tiny front room with a patio out back for events that draw a bigger crowd. We were there for two of those, an open-​mic comedy night (Thursdays) and the Saints v Bears game, for which occasion a ginormous old plasma screen was carried outside so a cadre of fans could enjoy their game under the stars. A Bears fan of my acquaintance was treated gently as his team went down in flames. Lovely people; the heart and soul of my new favorite NOLA neighborhood, the Bywater. If you’re here for the holidays, ask about the toy drive benefitting a local shelter for victims of domestic violence.

This is a family bar. Meaning, the son bartends, the dad cooks and the mom chats with the crowd. It’s amazingly comfortable here.
Also, the food is great, the drinks are cheap and the bar is beautiful. All the patrons talk to each other, too. It’s a win.

Was recommended this place by a woman I met in the streets of Bywater, who’s only form of accomodation and transport is a big black herse from the 1960s.
Bar Reddux is a great place to have a reasonably priced beer in New Orleans. The bar itself looks kind of like a big transport container that injudiciously fell off one of those huge trawlers that roll up the Mississippi, now come to rest infront of a huge Government Maritime complex no longer in operation.
The cook is a colourful character who lives next door. He was hand in hand preparing a big holiday ham in the restaurant and a turkey at his house for Thanksgiving the next day. Very nice guy, I think his name was Sherman.
No draft beer here, only bottled beers that are up on the wall behind the bar. There’s a backyard patio and a few tables outfront over looking the street.

This is a fun place! It’s very colorful on the outside with strange cat paintings. It’s dark and dreary on the inside. It was completely empty when we visited, but the bartender was super attentive. The outdoor seating is pretty cool. It is casual and intimate with a little tucked away garden area. They say they have plans for a few TV’s to be placed outside for football season.
The bartender must have been bored because he kept bringing us mini drink creations. We were so hungover from the day before so it was hard to assess if they were even good drinks. At one point I asked him what drink was on the Unilocal photos and showed him the pic, to which he replied «I don’t know but I’ll call the bartender.» Um, aren’t you the bartender? It was a little weird but comical as well.
The food took forever, like 45 minutes. And we were the only people there! I think he had to call in the cook too. It was a one man show in the kitchen I saw later. But still, it seemed like a ridiculously long time. I would have understood and been more forgiving had the place been packed.
I had the island burger which is a veggie burger with quinoa. It was a little too mushy for my liking but the flavor was good. My sister had the «real» burger and said it was really good. I had a salad on the side that was really fresh and good. My friend had a Caesar salad that looked really good but he was too hungover to eat.
I know this review is contradictory, but I actually really liked it here. My only complaint was how long everything took, they could be a little more prompt. It is like the friendly little new neighborhood hot spot. It has a limited menu but the food is pretty good. I’ll be back, especially to sit on the patio in the cooler months.

This is a brand new bar in the bywater in the building the joint used to be in. The drink prices are very affordable and the food is fantastic. The Philly cheesesteak in particular is delightful. The ambiance of the place is pretty unique. The building front has nice stencil graffiti done by Michael Roman, the artist who does a lot of work for Carlos Santana and a giant old school red neon sign that says «Bar» The inside has lots of music memorabilia, funky art and an old CD jukebox. No smoking inside but there’s a covered patio out back that’s pretty comfortable.
All in all I think it’s a great addition to the neighborhood.
