Where to Watch Dem Saints
When the Saints are playing football, the entire city of New Orleans knows it. It’s been said before and we’ll say it again: This town bleeds black and gold. On game day, you’ll see fans dressed in their Who Dat best all over town. Touchdowns are announced over the loudspeakers at most grocery stores. Along with the big party in the Superdome, fans gather at friend’s homes, local bars and restaurants from Backatown to Uptown to watch the game. Here are a few of our favorite places to be at kick-off time. Come early to get the best seats.
Bobby Hebert’s Cajun Cannon
Former Saints’ quarterback Bobby Hebert is a legend in this town and his Metairie restaurant, filled with fascinating memorabilia, is the perfect place to watch the Black & Gold. You’ll love the food, too. We can vouch for the Cam Cam Bam Bam Buffalo Wings, the Who Dat! Crab Cakes, and Buddy D’s Red Beans and Rice.
Garrison Kitchen + Cocktails
Garrison Kitchen + Cocktails in Old Metairie is the place to be on gameday (or any day). Choose your spot at one of their nine high-definition flat screens and share a little cooler filled with your choice of beer from their bucket list. If you think you want to step up your game, reserve one of their five patio gazebos for a VIP experience with personal high definitions flat screens, full-bar access, and yard games for the kids. The aromas from their wood burning outdoor grill will create memories you will share for a lifetime. The gazebos will book up fast – especially with big game coming up in February. Visit garrisonkitchen.com now and book!
And remember, Garrison hosts all of your favorite weekend football games. Open Saturday and Sunday in the Pavilions. See you at the Big Screens!
Loft18
Come watch the game and maybe toss around the ball at Loft18 on Metairie Road. They have screens galore and great football watching food (we love their Korean wings!)
Acme Oyster House
It’s always “half time” at Acme Oyster House. Grab half a shrimp, oyster or “10-Napkin Roast Beef Po-boy” and pull up a seat close to one of the TVs. No matter how the Saints are playing, you’ll have a great time.
Felix's Seafood & Oyster Bar
Bless you, po-boys! Whether you're in the Quarter or at the Lakefront, it's game on at Felix's! Down a freshly shucked oyster every time our guys score.
Hard Rock Café
Tupelo Chicken Tenders. Hard Rock Nachos. Joe Perry’s “Rock Your World” Quesadilla. If you were thinking about just picking up a bag of chips and dip at the convenience store, we hope this changes your mind. Come on down to the Quarter and join the party at Hard Rock Café.
Clarinet Bar at the Holiday Inn Downtown Superdome
On gameday, they put up a big blow-up screen and set up bar outside for great tailgate fun just steps from the Dome. There are also multiple TVs at the Clarinet Bar so you can watch more than one game at once while enjoying fun food and drink. Got tickets? Drop by before or after the game to celebrate.
Maison Bourbon Jazz Club
When it's football season, bands aren't the only things playing at Maison Bourbon. Come pull up a seat, order our signature VOODOO Purple Daiquiri, and watch football New Orleans style!
My Bar@635
With a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, this beautifully restored bar between Toulouse and Decatur streets is a perfect place for a private gameday party upstairs. Or, if it's just you and a few friends, enjoy the game on their big screen TV while sipping drink specials. (You can get the VOODOO Purple Daiquiri here, too.)
Original French Market Restaurant & Bar
These guys know how to throw a party! The balcony is the bomb and the seafood TDF. Come join the fun and the gameday specials!
Turtle Bar at Houmas House
While our guys are making history on the field, celebrate at the Turtle Bar at historic Houmas House. At home or when the guys are on the road why not watch the fun from the Great River Road?
