The Holy Ground Irish Pub

At the corner of Canal Street and Jeff Davis Parkway, The Holy Ground describes itself as a neighborhood Irish pub in Mid-City. Its website gives a clear Guinness option: imperial pints advertised at $6, alongside more than thirty high-end whiskeys and bourbons and other draft beers. The price is the business’s published offer and may change, but it provides a direct reference before you go. The pub also promotes large screens for football, basketball, hockey, LSU, and the Saints.

The food adds a distinctly New Orleans twist: Get Ur Mom & Dim Sum operates the kitchen inside the pub. The official page links to its new menu and identifies dim sum as part of the offer; reviews for this location also mention food, pool tables, and darts. That makes the visit work as a pint before a game or a casual meal beyond the usual Irish-pub dishes. The website does not advertise dedicated parking, so check the map and transit options before setting out.

Canal Street is the transit spine between downtown and Mid-City. The local visitor guide explains that streetcar routes 47 and 48 run along Canal; route 48 continues toward City Park, while 47 heads to the historic cemeteries. The Holy Ground’s Canal address makes a trip from downtown straightforward to plan, but confirm the destination displayed on the car, the right stop, and service alerts in the Le Pass app. There is no need to treat the French Quarter as a short walk away: these are connected districts, not the same block.

The Holy Ground is a strong fit for an informal bar, sports on screen, and Guinness at a published price in a part of the city distinct from the French Quarter’s tourist core. Its official schedule runs until 3 a.m., opening at 2 p.m. on weekdays and at noon on weekends. Review summaries point to a pub setting with games and a patio, though individual visits differ. To pair a drink with food, check Get Ur Mom & Dim Sum’s current menu; for a busy night, also check the sports calendar and the return streetcar service.
