Let’s start, appropriately enough, with the history of one of the oldest streets in North America. First, despite popular rumors to the contrary, Bourbon was not named for bourbon. That particular iteration of brown liquor had not even been invented when the street was laid out in 1721 by Adrian de Pauger. The street, then located in the colony of ...
Bourbon Street runs 13 blocks through the heart of the French Quarter, from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue; it becomes Carondelet Street past Canal, and Pauger Street past Esplanade. If you were looking at a map, Bourbon runs along a diagonal; confusingly to visitors, the “southern” part of Bourbon (near Canal Street) is Upper Bourbon, while the ...
Bourbon House (144 Bourbon Street) The Bourbon House is one of the city’s grand dame, old-school seafood houses. Run by the Brennan family restaurant empire, they serve excellent raw oysters, decadent pastalaya, and one of the truly great iterations of barbeque shrimp; their version is cooked in a buttery sauce that is balanced by a generous helpin...
Olde Nola Cookery(205 Bourbon Street) If you’re in the market for something simple and noticeably New Orleans, and you’re wandering around the 200 block of Bourbon, Olde Nola Cookery is a good choice. We basically always have time for barbeque shrimp, which is not grilled or smoked, but rather cooked in a lemon butter and pepper sauce. Plenty of gu...
The Jazz Playhouse(300 Bourbon Street) This is a legitimately lovely music venue in the heart of Bourbon Street (inside the Royal Sonesta). The lineup is straight unadulterated jazz, and the Playhouse hosts some of the most talented and exciting acts in the country. New Orleans Musical Legends Park(311 Bourbon Street) Life-size statues of local mus...
Hideout Bar(417 Bourbon Street) Oceana’s Hideout Bar is 24/7, has outdoor seating, and serves the kind of New Orleans/Southern fare you just might be craving after midnight. Tropical Isle by Cheryl Gerber
Tropical Isle(600 Bourbon Street) Besides the Hurricane, the Isle’s signature Hand Grenade is the most famous drink in the French Quarter. They taste like candy, but they are very potent. Tropical Isle also has locations at 435, 610, 721, and 727 Bourbon Street. Old Opera House(601 Bourbon Street) This live music venue was a French-style opera hous...
Cat’s Meow (701 Bourbon Street) You’ve never heard “Sweet Home Alabama” until it’s belted out by a crowd at the Meow. We have to give this spot credit: It was an early adopter of karaoke, back when people sneered at the idea of karaoke in a bar. The Meow’s enormous popularity is proof of the success of a then-risky business idea. Pat O’Brien’s(718 ...
Oz(800 Bourbon Street) The corner of Bourbon and St. Annstreets is known as the Lavender Line, which marks the beginning of the LGBTQIA+ section of Bourbon Street (you may also be subtly tipped off by the enormous rainbow flags). Oz is one of the more popular gay dance clubs in the city; expect drag queens, shirtless dancers, and all the rest. Bour...
Clover Grill(900 Bourbon Street) The Clover is one of our favorite 24-hour diners in New Orleans (on a side note, there aren’t a ton of 24-hour diners in this city, which is a shame). The food is great, but we really come for the atmosphere, which is a heady mix of drag queens, off-work servers, bartenders, hotel staff, tourists, and musicians all ...
