Ryan's Irish Pub Inc 241 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

"(Note: Picture is before the biggest let down ever) On Sunday my family and I put our name on a waitlist for brunch & to kill time we decided to check out the bar across the street to get a drink to go and because my husband’s name is Ryan (hence the photo) and we love a good pub we thought…perfect! All the doors on the side were wide open (this place is on a corner) and no signage was displayed saying anything about checking IDs or being 21 and over. So we begin to walk in (by the way my daughter and I were still outside) only to be scolded (Karen style) by the bartender. Her arms flailing in the air and her exact words were: “NOPE! AAAH! NOPE!”…and in the most condescending tone you can imagine. We immediately assumed we missed something and paused and politely started to walk out not knowing we did something wrong. She continued to yell (at the top of her lungs) “21 AND UP! 21 AND UP!” The rest of the patrons are now staring and laughing which as someone who has family from New Orleans and has been more than a handful of times, I have never seen or experienced anything like it. When a bar is off of Bourbon St and near a candy shop for children and literally next to several family-friendly brunch spots, I would think you’d either have a sign OR at the very least have a door closed so it doesn’t feel like an open invitation for all to join. The bartender’s reaction was very much uncalled for and our one and only rude interaction in New Orleans. Not a good look at all and glad we were “kicked out” before even walking all the way in because we ended up at Ruby Slippers and having the best food and drinks. Since pubs are everywhere I highly recommend skipping Ryan’s Pub completely and checking out anything else."

"Nice place to hangout and drink. Bar tenders are very friendly. Place and that area are not so loud, so good place to chatting and recommend people who prefer less noise."

"Excellent selection of beers and other drinks. Super friendly staff that were super welcoming and friendly. Awesome awesome bar."

"Great place if you're looking for a quiet bar away from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon St. Bartender was great and the drinks were strong! They also have a decent selection of draft beers."

"We just love Ryan’s Irish Pub. Nearly any kind of sport you can imagine is on one of their many wide screen televisions. The cocktails are great and very reasonable. They have a great beer selection and again, the prices are very reasonable. The servers are great, super friendly and knowledgeable. They do not serve food here, but seem to have no problem with bringing your own."
