Saint Bar & Lounge

New Orleans


The Saint? Of what? How about a great backyard beer garden enclosed in duck blinds and filled with tattooed young professionals, Tulane students, good shots and a fair bit of attitude. It’s not the cleanest bar (nickname: the Taint), but it sure is a fun one.

As the bartender told us, the worst part of the city's smoking ban may be that, 'People are going to realize what this place really smells like.'
