New Orleans might seem like a world away, but Nola bar & kitchen brings you steps away from some of the best Cajun dishes north of the Bayou. We want to create a place that is every bit as cozy as the neighborhood in the French Quarter, be it Bourbon street or Clark street. We will warm you up with our creative takes on classic Cajun dishes and house-crafted cocktails, and the fun doesn't stop with our menu. Walkthrough our doors and step right into Mardi Gras, catch the next LSU game, or just simply have a drink. We always keep the good times rolling.

Everything was great. We went before a baseball game, and it was conveniently located. The food was delicious, and the bartender did a great job with service.

My first time at Nola’s was for Mother’s Day. Since then I have gone several times. It was a nice vibe. Good cheap drinks. Love the sangrias and mimosas. It doesn’t get as crowded as the other bar in wrigleyville which i like. The food is ok, but overall I would recommend for some drinks!
