    So this place sounds soooo much cooler than it actually is. Was slightly disappointed in the decor bc there is so much they could have done here and it left me just feeling like they didn't give a shit about cool spooky shit. They did have really cool Slimer and Casper artwork but the rest of the place was just pretty sterile. I will say I am giving this place three stars bc the bartender was great and the drinks were fairly priced.

    Small bar with very friendly bartenders. Drink are different and good. Check it out! A must when you visit NOLA

    The slimmer

    I just happened to pass this bar and had to go in. It was just 5:00 pm so noone was there yet. I wanted to order food hut the cook wasn't coming in until 7:00 pm I had the slimmer - which was actually the best pina colada I've ever had! Not cheap but the ambiance is worth it. The bartender was very friendly. It gets pretty busy after the other bars close but I would go earlier.

    Pretty neat overall! Just went for drinks but there was a neat selection. The bartender wasn't CREEPY but neat to try. Service fair. Ambiance neat.

    Very cute small bar with yummy drinks. Bartender was quick to service us and his drinks were good. Our favorite was the Ghost Tang, took me right back to my childhood. Worth the stop if bar crawling your way through.

    This place was once of the coolest dive bars I've gone too! It was located one block off the main Bourbon Street but it was packed with people! The bartenders were both super nice. The actual bar was clean and they had some slot machines inside but the theme was spooky ghosts which was cool! We didn't get any food but the had a specialty drink menu with a bunch of drinks with spooky names, which was super good!! I highly recommend you guys go to this bar it was a lot of fun

    Love it here so much that my friend and I went twice in one day. Frank's playlist is my teenage-hood and slaps. Get a pear potion or a pickle back! (Speaking of, I will be back next time I'm in New Orleans!)

    Boose menu

    Great themed cocktails, cool little place to get some food and drinks and talk with locals. I enjoyed my time there and recommend the Cereal Killer or Gummy word drink. They use dry ice in many drinks and that was a cool addition. It is worth a visit and off the beaten path. Not a place most tourist would find.

    Food is so delicious, the drinks are amazing & I loved the banana drink. The girls there are so cool & kind & I would recommend going because the bar itself it's lit up & music is bumpin! It's such a cool spot & open into the morning which was so fun

    Exceptional Service, Clean Facility, and Great Prices! The location is just off Bourbon Street.

    We got the wings twice and we would've gotten them again and will get them again! GET THE BOUDIN EGG ROLLS!  1/1/2025

    This has been my favorite bar two years in a row. I went in 2023 for my 30th birthday and returned in 12/28 2024 for the week of New Years Eve. During both trips, this bar was an every day stop. Appetizers were 10/10! A pizza to go is the perfect way to end your night. Bartenders are all so friendly. Busy, but still friendly. Comfortable environment also. Will definitely be returning.

    Eggnog martini from the holiday cocktail menu

    Always a favorite stop in December to check out their holiday cocktails. Went fairly early on a Thursday so not crowded and had quick and friendly service.

    S'mores martini - and they roast your marshmallow as you wait patiently for this delicious cocktail.

    Music is live, and the people are chill. That's all you can ask for in a late night dive bar

    Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar - "The purple drink"

    Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

    The final stop on our ghost tour…read more This bar has truly legendary status when it comes to bars in the French Quarter. This building predates the United States, some saying it being built in the early 1770s. Some say it's the oldest bar in America but that's more legend than based on historical fact. This bar probably has the coolest story on the ghost tours as Jean Lafitte was a true character in New Orleans lore dating back to the 1700s. As far as what it's like today, you walk in and it's dark and eerie and is mostly illuminated by candlelight. This is a full service bar with both a pretty good sized bar area and also a section with tabletops and tables for patrons to enjoy along with countertops outside the bar for those who want to enjoy their drinks outside. Also in the back of this bar is a piano area where a piano player plays live music for the patrons multiple times a week in the evenings. As far as drinks go this place is definitely a tourist attraction and the drink prices do reflect that. They are famous for their "purple drink" and their "hurricanes". I ended up just having another local beer and I was just about tapped out on drinks by the end of this ghost tour. Overall this place is pretty awesome, especially if you take the time to learn the backstory and lore of this bar-some say it's haunted. A true must-visit.

    NOLA is my second home, so I forget that even though I've frequented so many places I haven't…read morereviewed them. Case in point - Lafitte's. I've been coming here for years. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop was built in the 1770's. Dubbed the oldest bar in New Orleans, the building is said to be haunted by the ghost of Pirate Jean Lafitte. Employees & patrons claim to see his glowing red eyes in the fireplace. The dimly lit bar is illuminated by candlelight, lanterns, & a fireplace, which add to the mysterious ambience. If you are afraid of ghosts then you can enjoy your drink in the courtyard. Famous for their Purple Drank (aka VooDoo Daiquiri) and potent Hurricanes, which come in a plastic keepsake cup, it's a lively place to enjoy a libation. The bartenders are friendly and the prices are reasonable. My brothers and I stopped by during Southern Decadence. They had the Purple Drank & a Hurricane. I got a vodka soda. The DJ was fantastic, and people were dancing in the street cuz that's how they do it in the Big Easy.
