NEW ORLEANS — A beloved Irish Channel bar and restaurant has announced that it will close at the end of the month. Tracey's Irish Channel Bar is closing on May 31, according to owner Jeffrey Carreras. Advertisement Carreras said the decision to close came after the annual Irish Channel parade was canceled twice due to weather, as well as permitting issues.

That old Semolina space just really didn’t work at all for the place his was or wanted to be.

Dude has had bad luck with landlords.

Or has signed terrible leases. One would have thought he would have learned his lesson after getting Parasols taking out from under him.

Watched many a game at the old location, as well as one at the new location this past season. Jeff is a good dude.

Long run, but damn that place gets sketchy at night, especially old location. The new location building has yet to produce anything worth while. Guess it time for another retail store to move in there.

The new location had about as much charm as an airport bar. I don’t understand how he lost the old location.

Moving was incredibly stupid. As soon as I saw where he was going I knew it was over, just a matter of time.

I know he had issues with the landlord previously but probably a lot his fault if I had to guess

Saw this news on facebook this AM. The commenters have been absolutely brutal. Some serious hatred toward Traceys. Comments about vindictive owners and managers, COVID lockdowns, etc...

Anybody know much about this?

Didn't Teedy try to blame him for the initial spike of Covid for daring to have his St. Paddy's block party in 2020?

Yea she canceled the parade but he stayed open and had his block party. Cops showed up and sent everyone home. This was right when the lockdowns started. Within a day or two irrc.

End of an era. Old Tracey’s was a great spot. Hate to see it go.

It’s time.

I loved and went to the original Parasols location for years. Went a few times after they lost the lease at the original location. Took the family there last week and it was horrible. One guy cooking in the kitchen, guy working the register was not competent. Orders were slow and food sucked. Roast Beef poboys were tasteless and barely had any beef and gravy.
