The Bulldog Mid City

I can’t comment on the food, only on the horrifically rude service I encountered when I entered the door. My family wanted to eat somewhere outside, and thought of the outdoor patio at the bulldog. We checked out their website and decided to give it a try. As we walked in around 6pm I was carrying my one year old. An employee said «Hey, get that baby out of here! We don’t serve babies here.» I understand if establishments don’t serve children, but her tone and choice of words was a little harsh. I wasn’t planning on plopping my child on the bar and doing a round of shots. Just wanted to sit outside and eat burgers. If they don’t want children and families eating at the restaurant it should say somewhere on the website, and their employees should be a little nicer when explaining policies. They’ll allow dogs in to eat, but children are unacceptable.

Ok, I love this bar. I love the patio, I love that I get to keep my glass tumblers on Wednesdays, I love the selection of local beers on draft, I love that there are TVs everywhere.
Any 20/​30-​something living in New Orleans for any span of time probably has about 42 Bulldog pint glasses in their kitchen. Even more interesting is that they just can’t seem to help themselves from going back the next Wednesday and keeping a couple more. It’s a sickness, and I am out of pantry space.
Great place to kick back, watch a game, and enjoy a cool New Orleans evening at this little oasis on Canal Blvd.

This bulldog is about the same at the magazine counter part. Huge beer selection. Above average bar food. Great wide open courtyard. Their courtyard is bigger than the magazine location which I seriously enjoy.

Fun bar. Great bartenders. Fun environment. Love the patio. Great place to watch the saints play!

Although this is the «better» of the two Bulldogs, I still go to the other one more, really, because it’s in my family’s old hood.
But still, THIS Bulldog is excellent. They have a nice bar with a huge selection of beers, a seated table area, a nice cozy couch area; all separate from each other, AND an outdoor patio with lots of ambiance and plants and trees with lights hanging off of them. Anytime I go to see the LPO or an opera, it is tradition for me to come to THIS Bulldog for a nice bartledoo or two in anticipation of a good show.
If you’re familiar with Lager’s, you’ll know that that serve the same, limited menu here at the Bulldog and it’s just as good. THIS Bulldog’s food always seems to come out better than the one on Magazine, though. The wraps always seem less sloppy.
The bartenders are knowledgeable about beer and friendly The other location is used to college fratkids coming in, and it kind of shows, but this location is a more laid back local favorite.
It’s dog friendly, too.
The parking is a little better at this location because there is a lot nearby where you can park. There is still street parking, though, not often will you be lucky enough to obtain a spot.
Over all, a FINE establishment and a good way to relax and have a brew or party down a little bit and have a few as well.

Mid-​City bulldog does a pretty good job at imitating a comfortable English pub — which is a much needed void in the New Orleans bar scene. Huge beer selection and quick service — I’m a fan and much prefer the mid-​city version to the Magazine Street location.

I’m not quite sure why I’m not here right NOW… Oh wait probably because I’m working, but if I wasn’t and since its a gorgeous Friday I would out on the patio right now! Wednesday’s are by far the best night to go so you can keep the glasses. On any other occasion it’s pretty great as well. It’s broken up with a bar section, mid section with dim lights and comfy seating, to the outside patio with picnic style seating are for large crowds.
I’ve also come here for a party and it was very easy to book and super inexpensive.
If you are a beer drinker you should start your night out here cuz the selection is on point!

Great atmosphere. Great beer. Great service.
I recently went here to have a few beers and finish off a weekend that had not been the best. I hadn’t been to the bar in a few years because I live much closer to their sister location in the Irish Channel, but I’ve certainly vowed to go back much more often. We were immediately greeted by a very friendly bartender who helped us choose our beer based on what we were looking for. He was knowledgable about everything we asked about on the menu and didn’t seem at all put off by us being beer novices. Additionally, the GM was there and stayed for a while to have a friendly chat.
All in all, I loved the chill atmosphere and the drinks, and we had the crawfish banditos (which were to die for). The crowd also is more grown up than the Irish Channel location, which was a welcome change. This is an awesome local spot that I cannot wait to visit again.

Tonight I was feeling restless and decided I just could stand being home anymore and I decided to land here… it was a great decision. It was a Sunday night so the crowd was perfectly low key. The bartender was a solid guy made great recommendations… tried a pretty tasty champagne beer (?) my description may not be accurate. It was definitely a guy’s bar but the vibe was so chill. I’ll def be back… tonight I just remembered why I always liked this place.

This is a regular stop for me. Great atmosphere, and of course great draft selection.
I love the patio!

Great place with a really good ambiance. They have a crazy selection of beer — shiner white wing being my favorite. Shiner doesn’t sell too much in the Northeast where I am so I enjoy the treat of having it so easily. The Abita brews are amazing. I really enjoyed the strawberry cream ale from there. The food is awesome. Get the mahi mahi sandwich and you won’t be disappointed.
In terms of seating, it’s a pretty big bar with two back rooms. I chose the middle one that had both candlelit tables and couches. Definitely gives off a comfortable chill atmosphere while still feeling upscale. Definitely a plus to have in the neighborhood.

Amazing beer selection! And the bartenders are more than happy to walk you through the options to find you a new favorite! Great quesadillas & amazing outside porch!

Good environment, different kind of beers, it is a nice place for friends to hang out and chat in a leisure moment!

Pelicans 1^st ever playoff game: My favorite neighborhood place to grab a beer or watch games but the quality of the projector looks as if they wiped Vaseline all over the pull down screen. In bad need of an upgrade or some high tech rabbit ears. Everyone in there has their backs to the 100in projector screen and were focused on the 32in HD tvs. Typically a 4 star but downgrading because of quality of the projector screen. 2 stars if this was football season.

BLUF: Beer selection has gotten better over the past couple years. Food is average at best but keeps you from «enjoying» the beer selection too much too quickly.
Bulldog in uptown is full of college tool bags. Mid City Bulldog is slightly better… those same tool bags but wearing medical scrubs to make sure everyone knows what they do for a living. Mostly working professionals there that are dressed normal though.
Smoking inside but if you read this after April 22 2015 then that will be overwith! Otherwise it is too smokey inside. I do like the indoor atmosphere though; lots of seating and dark.
The outside patio is amazing though. Lots of tables and chairs and different patio segments and coverings. Really awesome and really pretty. Very popular place so hopefully you can find seating.
Beer selection used to be crappy even though they had 50 on tap. A place shouldnt be proud to have 50 beers on tap if some of those are PBR, Bud Light etc. They might still have those but I feel like over the past year or so, their selection has gotten better and more interesting. Lots of relatively local beers and a few from further away. Def one of the better beer selections in town. They also have bottled beer which might be even more diverse but never really looked at them.
Food is not very good. It is fine and will end hunger pains but I personally would rather eat somewhere else if possible. (I have had most everything on the menu. Burger might be the best option)
I’ll keep going back. Fun place with good beer and great outdoor sitting.

I’ve always enjoyed this bar since I started going out. When I was fresh out of college we would come here almost every Wednesday for pint night. The fun thing is that you get to keep the fun glasses that you beer came in. Many nights you can see a group of friends leaving with an armful of pint glasses!
This is your typical beer bar — there is a good mix of ages at the bad (some nights is a younger crowd while other nights is an older crowd) but the beers are always delightful.
You can purchase a keychain for $ 1 to try the beers from «around the world» and when you finish the keychain you receive a commemorative Tshirt.
If beer isn’t your thing they do have a small selection of wine or you can just get a typical cocktail from he bar. During my most recent trip in December I got a great drink called a Snowplow which had liquor, coffee and whipped cream.
This is a great bar to come to every now and then.

Perfect spot to watch a game and get a good brew!
The bar staff friendly. They’re knowledgeable about the products the bar carries and helpful when you’re looking for a new beer to try. Plenty of TVs are throughout the bar and the staff is more than willing to make sure you don’t miss the game you’re interested in watching.
The bar also offers a variety of seating options. You can sit on a stool at the bar or a high top table, hang out with a group at a table & chairs or lounge back on a comfortable sofa. Don’t want to sit inside? The Bulldog Mid City has one of the best courtyards in the city. It’s big. You can sit at a small table with a friend or two, or take the whole group and make it a party. There is also a private courtyard should you decide to reserve it for a special event.
The bar food is delicious — but you may have to wait a while for it. Don’t worry, it’s well worth it and there’s a fully stocked bar to hold you over until your order is ready.
My personal favorite thing about this bar — you can bring your furry best friend. It’s dog friendly!

Visited this location recently and it was over-​the top. There was a sitting area, a well maintained beer garden. A flurry of staff at your beck and call. I almost have to hide when I go somewhere because it it is hard to get a panorama without drawing attention to yourself. And you don’t want to draw attention to yourself and skew the service you would have normally gotten.
If you are honest and pay attention to/​report details, the truth will set you free. The human psyche can, and will detect it.

Great beer bar. They do have daily specials and happy hour specials. My only draw back is it’s a little pricey for draft beer. I guess I shouldn’t complain as they have a wide variety of craft and imports in clean taps. The food is all delicious and quick. I recommend the kings fries, nachos, dunked burger, whatever the name is for the BBQ chicken sandwich, and the southwest wrap.
This location has a great courtyard n the back with a large fire-​pit and mounted space heaters if it’s cold out.

Ahh Bulldog! So many memories and so little time! Where shall I begin? Now that I live here in Mid-​City perhaps I take the Bulldog for granted since it’s in my hood. But back in the day when I rolled deep with my church group this was our go to social place. When I say roll deep I mean like 15 – 20 people and we all wanted to eat or drink etc. We would usually go outside to the spacious back patio and take over a picnic table.
There have also been times with friends have rented out. The gated back patio (ie. a friend’s Saints watching birthday party during the day, my friend’s graduation party, my frkend’s going away party, you get the picture!). Many a day and night have I danced in the gated patio!
The burgers are delicious! I liked the one with blue cheese, and I added bacon on it! Yummy! Plus they have cider on tap which even though I rarely drink I sometimes indulge!
Bonus for allowing dogs on the back patio. I love dogs so it’s a win-​win situation! One of my guy friends brought his unruly black lab and people were cool.
Two of my friends actually met at this Bulldog and ended up getting married and have a baby so it has a special place in my heart!
The bartenders are super nice too!
I prefer this Bulldog to the other one because it’s so much larger, has a separate parking lot, and is closer to me!
Happy drinking!
