In New Orleans, you can drink from sunrise to sunset, indoors and outdoors, from January 1st to December 31st. Here, it’s always a party. With spring here, it’s patio season and we’re sharing all of our favorite spots to day drink.
Tchoup Yard
405 Third St, New Orleans
With a giant outdoor patio, frosé, and delicious bites from their onsite Karibu Kitchen, Tchoup Yard is the perfect place to spend a beautiful day with friends!
The Country Club
634 Louisa St, New Orleans
If you’re drag brunching, you’ll need to get a reso a couple of months in advance at The Country Club. Or, just head to the pool for drinks and tons of fun! There’s a ten dollar entry fee, but it’s worth it if you’re in the mood for pool partying.
Miel Brewery
405 Sixth St, New Orleans
This cute new brewery off of Tchoupitoulas has an airhead extreme beer #mindblown. They also let you BYOF (bring your own food). We even picked up crawfish and brought them over the other day!
Jack Rose
2031 St Charles Ave, New Orleans
O, Jack Rose. We can’t get enough of you. Our favorite place for brunching with our girls. Probably because there’s bottomless veuve, chambongs and mile high pie!
Wrong Iron
3532 Toulouse St, New Orleans
The newest addition to patio bars in the city, Wrong Iron is a hip New Orleans beer garden with food trucks and fun in MidCity.
Parasol’s
2533 Constance St, New Orleans
Parasol’s is a great Irish Channel neighborhood bar. Where else can you grab a cheap beer, bring your dog inside AND eat one of the best poboys in town (Firecracker shrimp yasss). Parasol’s is a great spot to start drinking and then make your way to other Magazine Street bars.
Copper Vine
1001 Poydras St, New Orleans
The lush patio and wines on tap are enough to keep us coming back to this CBD gem. Plus, there’s seating on the balcony if you want to overlook the city!
The Columns
3811 St Charles Ave, New Orleans
You can’t go wrong with a French 75 on the victorian porch at the The Columns Hotel. It’s a Saint Charles Avenue classic!
Longway Tavern
719 Toulouse St, New Orleans
We love this cocktail bar addition to the quarter. The courtyard style patio at Longway Tavern is charming and their cocktails delicious!
Laffitte’s Blacksmith Shop
941 Bourbon St, New Orleans
Purple Boozy Slushies aka Purple Drank at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop is a quintessential day drink in the French Quarter. Plus you’re drinking in the oldest bar in America. When the mood strikes, Purple Drank is the way to go.
Pat O’Brien’s Bar
718 St Peter, New Orleans
Start off in the Courtyard and move to the Piano Bar once the sun goes down! Pat O’Briens is a fun classic if you are out and about in the quarter.
Bacchanal Wine
600 Poland Ave, New Orleans
Every wine lover’s dream. Walk into a wine store, pick your bottle, pick your cheeses and head out to a lovely courtyard with live music. You might want to stay all day and all night. Not into wine? Bacchanal has an upstairs bar with tasty cocktails.
Willa Jean
611 O’Keefe Ave, New Orleans
Frosé all day?!. From breakfast to brunch, to casual day drinking, Willa Jean will definitely not disappoint and they always have lots of tasty frozen cocktails perfect for the spring and summer.
Ace Hotel’s Alto
600 Carondelet St, New Orleans
If you’re looking for a hip vibe, or you are just trying to catch some sun with beautiful people, the Ace Hotel’s rooftop bar Alto is the spot. Sip on drinks in the pool, while looking over our beautiful city.
Catahoula Hotel
914 Union St, New Orleans
The rooftop bar at the Catahoula Boutique Hotel and their fresh drinks = Day Drinking Goals. If rooftop bars aren’t your thing you can always drink Pisco on the 1st floor bar.
Hot Tin
2031 St Charles Ave, New Orleans
With so many delicious cocktails to choose from and this gorgeous view, you’re bound to stay until the sun sets. The bar is on the rooftop of the same hotel where Jack Rose is, so head up after brunch!
Bayou Wine Garden
315 N Rendon St, New Orleans
Three words: WINE. ON. TAP, and Bayou Beer Garden’s best idea yet! We love Bayou Wine Garden.

1020 Erato St, New Orleans
This microbrewery is a great spot to start off your day with brews and food from NOLA’s finest food trucks.
Balcony Bar
3201 Magazine St, New Orleans
You can’t day drink on Magazine Street without making a stop at Balcony Bar, and well duh, drink on their balcony.
Nola Brewing Tap Room
3001 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans
One of the city’s original breweries, his chill spot is great for to relax, sample different beers and eat some of the best BBQ in the city at McClure’s.
Tracey’s
2604 Magazine St, New Orleans
If you’re into sports or crawfish or just a good time Tracey’s is another great stop on Magazine Street. Cheap drinks, lots of TVs to watch almost every game there is and awesome bar food including crawfish boils and oysters when in season.
The Fly

The Fly at Audubon Park along the Mississippi River is known as a spot where locals to pack a picnic (dranks included), and chill with friends for a few hours. The breeze from the Mississippi, the people watching, and the good vibes make this a Sunday Funday must!
