  • If there was a "perfect" dive bar this might be it! Sitting in a shaded neighborhood in Uptown New Orleans, not too far from Tulane, sits this broken-down old shack with a Christmas wreath hanging above the door. Unsightly? Maybe. Alarming? Perhaps. But also a lot of fun!
    Snake and Jake's is simply one of the most fun bars you'll ever go to. It's dark (really dark), small and a bit crowded late at night. But the atmosphere is warm, the people are friendly and you'll find your cares just melt away with the first sip of Schlitz you take!

    Saw the sun rise many a drunken morning outside this bar. Saw some pretty outlandish shit inside too. The first 2 years I worked at Cooter Brown's, this was our after-work spot. We walked in as a crew, the bartender had our beers & shots on the bar before we even asked, and when we were leaving, hours later, he'd go, "uhhh... $20 sound about right?". Needless to say, the tip was usually at least 200%.
    If the bartender was having TOO good of a night, one or two of us usually ended up bartending FOR him for a while.

    I went to Snake and Jake's many times, but NEVER before midnight. I didn't have a car, and it was years before I actually figured out where the bar was located. One of the few things I remember was a long conversation I had with the bouncer about his plans for his full back tattoo. The main theme was dwarfs.

    Worked in a bar in NOLA for a year...this is a place where the service workers went when their shifts were over at 2-3am. Will never forget Snake & Jake's as long as I live.

    Mannn I love New Orleans. I've dated a few girls down there that took me to a few chill dive bars in the Garden district but I've never hear of this one. I sure would love to check it out. Seems so chill and simple. Just right.

    A friend took me to Snake and Jake's late one night after seeing The Radiators at Tipitina"s. I knew we were going to another bar, but when we stopped in an uptown neighborhood, I thought we were picking up someone else... but nooo.. there was a little shack of a bar tucked between two houses.. it was Snake and Jakes. It is a GREAT late night bar!

    Used to live a block from snake and jakes! Would only go when we were already drunk and drink Schlitz until late at night while sitting with the dog on the couch. Some wild memories

    Also, don't grab a cab. It's just a few minutes' walk from the streetcar, which runs 24 hours, minimum once an hour, and is part of New Orleans' charm.

    "You know, it really doesn't look like much..." From the very first words out of your mouths you tourists admit that you do not even understand the word "dive" in reference to the word " bar". It's called "dive" bar for a reason, but what could that reason be...hmmm...? Self indulgent observations of the obvious. It's a dive bar and it doesn't look like much...brilliant.

      Right? Better editing would have interspersed scenes from the bar more throughout the interview.
