Other than the Hurricane, NOLA’s most famous oversized and overly strong drink is the Hand Grenade. There’s only one chain of bars where you can legally get a true Hand Grenade (seriously, it’s trademarked and aggressively policed) and that’s Tropical Isle. The bar’s tagline is, “Where the fun begins and memories last forever,” but do yourself a fa...
Think New York’s famous disco club Studio 54, but with an extra “4” and a distinct NOLA clientele. There’s a raised stage for regular live music (rhythm and blues is proudly highlighted on the bar’s entryway sign), and the drinks are intended to keep you dancing. You’ve got to find something to do with all the energy from those sweet cocktails, aft...

Screens stream music videos all night long on Fridays and Saturdays. Where: 80...
Get away from the cheap beer and cocktails made with sweet mixers for a bit at Bourbon O. It started using fresh-squeezed citrus and house-made ingredients in 2013, and the quality shows to this day. There is an impressive whiskey list and a healthy list of classic cocktails. This means that you’ll likely be paying more for the drinks than you will...

Channing Tatum’s bar Saints and Sinners has a lot less of a Magic Mikeatmosphere than you may be hoping for, but it’s still worth a visit. It’s part bar, part restaurant, and an all-around enjoyable experience. It’s styled after old red-light district prostitute houses and burlesque halls (complete with red velvet), and a portion of the profits are...
Maison Bourbonoffers live jazz shows, a rarity on Bourbon Street. In fact, it’s one of just two jazz bars on Bourbon, and calls itself the only “Dixieland Jazz Club” in the French Quarter. There’s no cover charge, and a cute courtyard in the rear of the club, where guests can drink and socialize in the open air. Refreshingly casual on the otherwise...
Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shopis allegedly the oldest building to house a bar in the country. The name comes from Jean Lafitte, a privateer and slave trader who, according to legend, used the building as a storehouse in the early 1800s. Today, it’s a dim and dank drinking hole. Take a trip into the past and order a beer or a simple mixed drink in a plas...

- Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar. Recognized as the oldest bar in the United States, Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar is a must-stop for during any trip to New Orleans, whether it's your first time or your 100.
- Maison Bourbon. Jazz is a big reason Bourbon Street became what it is today, but sadly, it's hard to find live jazz on the street these days. You can see world-class jazz in New Orleans, but the best place to find it is over on Frenchmen Street, which is in the neighborhood just adjacent to the French Quarter.
- Pat O'Brien's Courtyard Restaurant. In the early 20th century, gin and whiskey were the spirits of choice and therefore came at a premium. Rum, on the other hand, was a drink for dirty sailors that went from port to port and, therefore, was very affordable.
- Olde Absinthe House. The Old Absinthe House is one of the oldest bars in New Orleans and a great place to grab a drink in historic surroundings. But your experience is made even better when you know the building's history.
Through others you'll find flaming fountains, dueling pianos, and specialty drinks to please every palate, including New Orleans' own world-famous Hurricane and Sazerac. Here's a list of some of the most visited bars on Bourbon Street.
Bourbon Street, a Block-by-Block Guide. This street is a tourist destination for a reason. It’s a thoroughfare with an utterly fascinating history, and home to some of the oldest bars, family-run restaurants, and gay entertainment districts in the country.
There are roughly 582 bars on Bourbon Street, and most of them aren’t worth your time unless your goal for the night is to end up on stage with an AC/DC cover band. Rather than give your friends the pleasure of watching you do that, head to Lafitte’s instead.
