Parasols Bar for Po-Boys and a Chat with the Locals

Parasol’s Irish bar in the Irish Channel area (next to the Lower Garden District) is the epitomy of the local dive bar, but they have a large kitchen that knocks out one of the best roast beef po-boys in town.

Its interior is even less than “shabby chic” but the “craic” is always friendly and the jukebox can be fun if there is no-one to chat with at the bar.

The dining area is separate if you are just wanting to nosh down – Parasol’s boast the best po-boys and their gravy and fries are just plain addictive. They refuse to give me their secret family gravy recipe, but it will leave you licking your fingers.

Parasol’s have a great selection of ciders and beers, but they always make me a lovely pint of shandy (half lager, half sprite) which is cold and fresh against the food. A big jar of tabasco was handed to me this afternoon with my po-boy along with the the comment “man up!!”…

If you want to experience a piece of real New Orleans and meet the locals, Parasols is where to come. A fairly mixed crowd in general, anything goes!!
