We loved the feel of the place long bar, huge draft selection. The beer was cold, the shots were generous but over 6 days we saw 5 bartenders. One friendly, two ok, one "meh" and one sour, dour and not interested in serving.

Had my first visit to Markey's last weekend. The place was busy which was great to see. The place is very laidback. The young lady working the bar was very attentive to her customers. The service was quick. The pizza that we had as a...snack was good. I look forward to a return visit over Memorial Day Weekend.More

Markey’s is one of those places where you just feel at home. Good beer and great bartenders (hey Josh!), who won’t give you grief for ordering a cocktail. Many video displays for armchair sports enthusiasts, plus darts and a vintage shuffleboard game for the more...hands-on customers. Sadly, the once-awesome kitchen is closed … at least until someone can convince Roy it’s worth opening it again.More

New Orleans has so many great neighborhood bars and this was our favorite. The Marigny and the Bywater neighborhoods are a great place for nightlife.

We stopped in for a break from the craziness in the quarter and were very happy we did. Bartenders are great and friendly, drinks were good. The kind of bar where you feel like you've been there a hundred times even though it is your...first visit. Try the Dublin Donkey.More

Right in the middle of the By-water area is this hole in the wale dive bar. Decent prices yet surrounded by more pretentious places. Grab a beer or a taco and veg it’s cool

Stayed in The Bywater and walked to this corner bar. It was crowded but cozy. Definitely a good place to hang out with friends.

The owner of the Airbnb we were staying at recommended this place. We went there for lunch. The food was good. Prices were reasonable. Service for lunch was essentially self serve. We seated ourselves, we ordered at the bar and then we waited for the...coaster to buzz. Seems to be a popular place with the locals. Definitely a good place for basic bar food and a good drink.More

We rented a house in Bywater and discovered upon arrival that Markey's was just across the street! What a lucky break for us! Great bar food- the cheeseburger was outstanding. So were the wings! And we got to teach a few of the locals how...to play shuffleboard! Great place- great dive bar location!More

Local bar great for drinking, with an added bonus of very good bar food served into late night. Low-key. Good jukebox. Visited during Jazzfest. Crowd had a good vibe. Located in a residential neighborhood.

This is the happening place in the Bywater area for drinks and sports. We arrived very late but the kitchen was still open and stays open until 2am. The sandwich we had was great. Fresh hot shrimp po boys.
