By far the most racist bar in the United States! If you're anything other than white, STAY FAR FAR AWAY! The bartenders are blatantly racists and do not hide it. Walking in the the bar felt like a flash from the Jim Crow past! I'm truly disappointed!

Great venue for an event or gathering. The food from the kitchen is outstanding, and the bartenders are nice.

**I worked here as the of head security from roughly 2012-2013** I wanted to post this years ago, but after reading comments since I've left, I'm hoping this will resonate and give confirmation for those questioning the "racist" accusations. I haaate pulling the race card, but here we go. Phillip's truly was a nice lounge type of place that catered to older college students 21+, young professionals and locals. I'd always invite my friends to visit while at work, take dates there etc. The bar owners are "Jason Warrington" and his husband who's name I can not remember, who at the time lived upstairs. I quit on the spot around the time the staff began setting up for a Friday "Gappy Hour (Gay/Happy)" as they called it. Jason began to put a sign that had dress code "dont's". Stuff like - no earrings for guys, no hats with sports, no Jordans (not tennis shoes, JORDANS) etc.... I cant remember exactly and it's since been taken down. I proceeded to ask why the sign and verbatim Jason said, "The blacks are scarring the locals." I said, well I'm black and I work here and he responds, "Don't worry, your'e a good one." I told him that in some cultures nice Jordan's are equivalent to a suit and tie and how my parents are well off, so what if they showed up in nice attire, nice Jordan's and in their nice car and he respond's, and this is burned in my memory, "Black people buy nice things to cover up the pain from inside." The last thing I remember saying was that with him being a homosexual male, it's sad to see him stereotype people to this extent before even meeting them and I walked away. Don't support this place. New Orleans has PLENTY of better places with health scores above the 70's. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I'm Canadian, and I've been living here in New Orleans for a while... I just came to this bar with my passport with a workvisa in it with a bunch of my good friends and they did not let me in. I'm pretty angry at this, however, noone withany international ID should ever try to get in. Extremely lame

My friends and I wanted to have some drinks on Saturday night. We are all black. But the security requested to see our ID, which was fine. Then the security started to comment on the dress code. One pointed at my friend's shoes and trousers, saying he is too casual to get in the bar. We didn't see any dress code at the entrance of in Phillip's. But our dress code was similar to most of the white guests in the bar. Everyone was casual. We thought this was completely RACIST. We asked to talk to the manager. One employee agreed to call the manager, but the other was too dodgy and afraid to call the manager. He claimed he had the right to deal with ALL issues and he said we could make a complaint. We wanted info l to make some complaints. He said he didn't have any forms. There was absolutely NO COMMUNICATION beyond that. What's up Phillip's?

Did a quick trip to NOLA and stayed in the Garden District. On an afternoon run, I spotted this place - it looked interesting. It was not far from my hotel, and decided to give it a go. Great Drinks, simple menu (pizza's good), uncomplicated and a really friendly crowd - made for a most pleasant experience. This is not "high cuisine", but solidly GOOD.

I remember 20 years ago this being a happening place. We went in on Thursday and were only ones inside.
