Sunday in New Orleans has its own rhythm: afternoon cocktails, a late lunch, perhaps a game on TV and a long conversation before Monday arrives. Several venues actually publish Sunday happy hours, so there is no need to rely on weekday-only listings. Here are approachable picks spread between Uptown, the French Quarter and Mid-City.
Below are bars with published Sunday specials or ongoing daily happy-hour programs. The staff favorites are mixed with additional venues so there are credible choices every day. Listings are not ranked.
Happy hours, event schedules and menu prices can change, especially around holidays and major festivals. Check the venue’s current menu or social pages before heading out. Research updated October 2026.
