I threw my boyfriend a 40th birthday party at Phillip’s, and I couldn’t have been happier with the atmosphere, food, and especially the service delivered by Jason and his staff.
They keep the tacos coming, were on top of making sure drinks were filled, etc.
The back courtyard is a beautiful oasis!
They do $ 6 all you can eat tacos and salsa on Thursday nights, and raw and char grilled oysters on Fridays.
Definitely give them a shot!

Not a big fan of the late night bar staff or the cocktails, took a while to get a drink and the bartender was not approachable. Did think the interior was super pretty.

The interior décor is gorgeous. The restrooms are not. The bartender I encountered came across arrogant and rude to me. Not much reason to go here again.

I used to avoid Phillips and head to Bruno’s on my weeknights, but Phillips has really drawn me in in the past few months. They have great specials nearly every night of the week, my favorite being Thursday for taco night (deeeelicious tacos and cheap mexican beer!). The vibe inside is upscale, with great seating. The pool tables are a great addition. Finally, my favorite part is the awesome patio in the back. It’s huge, and on a mild night the atmosphere can’t be beat.
I would recommend trying out Phillips whether you’ve been before or not. They’re doing a great job!

Staff was very gracious, hospitable and just relaxed enough. We were a large party and we were all pleased. The steaks, though done just a snitch or two past med-​rare, were very tender with excellent beefy flavor. All of the sides: spinach, mac n cheese, smashed herbed potatoes were presented nicely and all were scrumptious. Not one of gave a hoot about having quinoa so no comment here. The accompanying wine was pleasant enough but I don’t usually go for Malbec and it was more than adequate. Overall, it was an overall good dining experience.

Tuesday is Italian night. We had spaghetti, pizza and salmon. Ask for Coral. She is a delight. Entire staff is very up beat. Too bad we are only visiting. Will have to try and return before we leave.

Wow. A far cry from the Boot or Bruno’s, this place is awesome. I’ve gone twice this week, and it’s likely I’ll finish the week out there. I’ve been going with my friends, and we went for Italian night, to our surprise. We thought we were going to just order bar food and drinks, but when they brought out the Italian menu, we figured we’d go foe it. A measly $ 20 will get you a salad, a large pasta portion, a desert, and an Italian wine, port, or beer selection. Our meal was nothing short of phenomenal, and afterwards we ordered a round of drinks. Later, when we got our bill, we were shocked to only have a tab of $ 100. He forgot our drinks! We went to let him know, but he said he felt like we waited too long for service, so the entire round was on the house! Wow!
Great atmosphere, great service, great food, what else is needed?

It seems like they only hire very attractive bartenders, regardless of if they have actual people skills or bartender qualities. I ordered a dirty martini, a basic drink with 3 ingredients. It tasted like it came out of a plastic jug. Gross. The atmosphere is intimate but the décor needs some touching up. I wish it this place was better bc Maple street needs a place that isn’t flooded with 19 year old Tulane students and this place could be it. But it misses thy mark with its drink quality and bartenders unfriendly attitudes.

I’ve been coming to this place since the 90s and let me say its ten million times better. I don’t get tired of coming here. Good service, great ambiance, espectacular-​looking bartenders and the food is why I keep coming these days.

I’ve been to Phillips prior to renovation and afterwards. The spot is very cozy and a great spot for drinks with friends and dates.
Drinks are affordable, music is good, and there’s even a pool table.

I randomly came across this place with a few friends of mine when we were bar hopping uptown because downtown was impossible to get to that night.
This place is surprsingly nice. They had 2 pool tables on the side of the room and modernize couches on the side of the whole room. There were a few tables in the center too.
Who knew they had food there! their flatbread is great! We ordered the Prosciutto & Pear flat bread and the Texan flatbread. the texan flat bread had garlic spread with roasted red onions, corn, smoked gouda, and bbq chicken. They also have some tapas dishes and pasta dishes. Drinks here aren’t bad either with special cocktails of the night.

A couple from bible study invited us out to this place because they new the owners, and they were having a deal called Steak Night on Wednesdays. For $ 19.95, we got a 7 oz filet mignon, two sides, and a glass of wine. I’m somewhat picky about grilled steak and quick to point out when the chef doesn’t get medium rare right, and I am happy to say that this gentleman nailed it. The one owner, whose name I believe is Jason, was gracious enough to give us a round of jelly shots. The rest of the wait staff is pleasant and attentive, if not a little nervous. Phillip’s just opened, so I imagine that some of the staffers are a bit inexperienced, but if they keep this up they should get in to the swing pretty quickly.
The outside dining patio is great, but the only drawback is the cacophany of frogs and cicadas that make conversation a little difficult at night. The bar has a nice ambiance and layout, and at this point in my NOLA experience will probably be the go to place for a night of drinks and merriment.

Hello 23, its me Faith. Ah yes, Phillips… home of the classier nights spent on Maple street. Fridays are gay happy hour to clear up any confusion. Not sure if that declares it a gay bar since they only cater to that specific clientele one night a week. It’s definitely a mixed crowd here, but think that is because they welcoming to all. Either way you swing it, gay happy hour is the shit. I love everyone and I love $ 4 martinis. Thursday is ladies night (3 free drink tickets). They have a few couch areas that you need to get early for or be ready to pounce when you see another group leaving. Clean bathrooms, score!

Fun atmosphere, with great cocktails and appetizers! They have the best hummus that I have ever eaten! It had a strong lemon flavor, and was served with pieces of garlic Naan (Indian flatbread that is not as dry and tasteless as pita bread). We were fighting each other over this stuff and had to have a second order! It was a total steal at $ 3.95!
The happy hour cocktails were an extremely good deal at $ 5 as well. Good selection of drinks. Comfortable places to sit, chat, nibble, drink, and socialize. The music does get a bit loud at 8. The waitresses are very professional and get the job done. Can’t wait to go back!

I hated this place. I hate MOST of you Unilocalers that exclaimed that it was Lady’s night on Thursday? You’re so full of shit.
10 dollars for a fucking Gin and Soda… I know, I know I ordered Hendrick’s, fuck off though.
It’s uptown right near Tulane. I know that most of the college students will vouch that 10 dollars is a lot and probably won’t tip on top of that, but Jesus Christ. I understand the bartenders and waitresses were really hot, okay? That’s fine– I like staring, (This is why I give two stars) but god, having to hear a story about going to the gym and shopping made me remember why I left Miami, and I hate conversations that don’t start with «When I was fisted…» Just get to the point.
If you’re into divey, dingy, and dirty; then this place will make you barf all over the place.

The Happy Hour on Fridays is legendary with strong, cheap, and delicious $ 3 Martinez! I’m a lightweight so they are dangerous! Went on Wednesday night (day before thanksgiving) and it started off quiet and picked up as the night went on! The French fries were amazing with real Parmesan cheese! Yummy! Plus the bartender, Jennifer, snagged some bacon for us! Love this place! Reminds me of places in L.A. With comfy and big bars tools, red pool tables, comfy couches, and the back room! I miss living near this joint!

Phillips is an interesting place. Despite spending a large portion of my formative years on and around Maple, I had never been here. A buddy from work was always telling me how much he enjoyed this bar so we decided to give it a try.
Apparently my buddy’s memory of the bar is significantly different than what the bar has become. According to him it was a more upscale version of a college bar. I agree that it is more upscale, but the night we went did not seem like a typical college bar.
Over the years Phillips may have become a gay and lesbian bar. This realization came to me when I realized the girls next to me were making out and that a large majority of the customers were gay men. Since we like to consider ourselves open minded people, we sat there an enjoyed our drinks. No one bothered us, and the staff were very friendly.
Would I go back? Maybe. The place is nice inside, but if I am on Maple, I prefer the more classy establishments like TJ Quill’s.

Phillips is definitely one of the nicer places on Maple St. When you go in, you feel as if you are in a high end place. I have never been in here when it has been packed and it isn’t packed with college kids like the other places. There is a nice older crowd here and although the drinks are a little more expensive, it’s worth it if you don’t have to deal with a huge crowd.
Phillips also has pool tables and nice seating areas for groups, if you don’t want to sit at the bar. The lighting is dim and cozy and the music isn’t super loud, so you can have a conversation.
