Bartender was great! Very friendly and laid back. The crawfish were delicious. There is one dart board available for use.
This might be the dirtiest dive bar I have ever been to, and I loved it. Many reviews say there are rats here(think how many places have them and you just didn't know), and my wife saw one but don't let that steer you away from this little gem. I recommend the crawdad boil, you can't go wrong. Beers were good and place was fun. Seriously, just get the crawdad boil and beers and you will be just fine.
Dive bar crawfish amazing! Friendly staff and atmosphere. Loved the beer and crawfish.
If you are looking for a crawfish boil THIS is the place to go. Best crawfish I have ever had!! Staff is extremely friendly as well.
Great place to go for a beer and a late night bite. It’s my favorite dive bar.
The grits they make are the best you'll ever have - and I'm not much of a grits enthusiast. It's a combination of shrimp, sausage, smoked gouda, and without exaggeration and total honesty: a MASTERPIECE. The crayfish boil is also excellent. Drinks are not overpriced. Atmosphere is dive bar, but in a genuine way. Staff was friendly. Honestly, it's kind of a mind blowing hidden gem.
We stopped by here for their crawfish boil, and it did not disappoint. Their boil had delicious crawfish, sausage, corn, potatoes, garlic, and peppers. The staff was fun, friendly and very helpful.
The Three Legged Dog is an absolute gem in the heart of New Orleans! Located just four blocks off Bourbon Street, this dive bar is the perfect escape from the chaos while still being close to all the action. The 24/7 kitchen and bar are a lifesaver, especially after a long night out, and the food is fantastic—seriously, they serve the best crawfish in the area! The 2-for-1 beer deal is unbeatable, making it a go-to spot for both locals and tourists alike. What really sets this place apart, though, is the incredible staff. Butters and Dillon are absolute legends—they’re not only skilled bartenders and cooks but also some of the most caring and patient people you’ll ever meet. They make everyone feel like family, and their attention to detail is unmatched. The ambiance is welcoming, safe, and fun, making it a place where you can truly relax and enjoy yourself. Even Netflix’s David Chang couldn’t resist stopping by when he was in town—that’s how good it is! And let’s not forget Todd Lively, the owner, who is always on-site ensuring everything runs smoothly. His dedication to the bar and its patrons is evident in every detail. Whether you’re a local, a service industry worker, or a tourist, The Three Legged Dog is a must-visit. It’s no wonder this place is a favorite among so many. Five stars all the way—I can’t recommend it enough!
