Johnny White's Pub & Grill

I am all about dive bars....trust me....but to call this a ""sports bar"" is a huge mistake. I was staying on Conti street during the Halloween weekend. I read some good reviews of this place so we all decided to stop by. It may be ok for a cheap drink if you can get a seat, but don't waste your time for a game.

Horribly misleading!

great place to hang out and watch your bike. This is a true french quarter bar.

One night, I walked in to patronize the bar that watches my bike so frequently when I go to the Quarter to have fun and meet my friends. I'm a Harley rider so, I appreciate the love. I ordered a drink - the bartender scowled and then I got bit by a big dog lounging on the floor by his masters drinking at the bar. There was no one there that even said, ""I'm sorry"" They didn't say anything because they couldn't care any less.

I really don't know how to take this other than they must be a bunch of people who drink ad nauseum and/or they are not only dysfunctional but sadists!

Two years in a row we've had a great time on the balcony at Jonny White's. The manager is a great lady, and surprisingly she recognized us from the prior year's visit when we took photos of an approaching thunderstorm. The food - fantastic. Whatever you get, it's over the top and loaded with flavor. The dishes are creative. I had shrimp that was swimming in a spicy sauce that I got all over me as I shelled them, and I didn't care - they were so good! Try Jonny White's some evening. It's fun to be on Bourbon Street, on a big balcony, as it puts some distance between you and the stumbling drunks, and you'll certainly be entertained. Great place!

I competley agree with greyrooster99; this place is no sports bar. I was told that Johnny Whites Sports Bar was a possible place to watch a Saints game, and having visited Johnny Whites on St. Peters many times, thought I would give it a try. I was extremely disappointed; I asked the bartender if there was another room and I was told this was it. Barely any room, tiny TV(s), and dirty. We did not stick around to find out if they even had food. This is the last place I would go to watch a game.

Johnny Whites on St. Peters is a great little hole in the wall with a great juke.

Three cheers for staying open throughout Hurricane Katrina. It's great to see that places are re-opening now, but I'm seriously impressed that Johnny White's never closed. :)

If you like Bloody Marys, you have GOT to go to Johnny White's....first thing in the morning, of course. Perry and Whitney both make the most AMAZING Bloody Marys.
Yes, the bar is small. But I love that. And it's a great place to meet locals. I met so many interesting people there. You really get a feel for the town. And you can get a lot of good information from locals (places to eat and party) that most tourists never know about.....

You have to be kidding. This place is a dump. Filthy restroom, (upstairs). No food. How can anyone seriously call this a sports bar. Has room for 12 customers.

It's such a lovely little bar, but where's Tom Hill?
