    Live music, big ass beers (or half ass), mixed drinks. Bartender served us fast and was friendly. Wish I knew they had a rooftop bar when we went here. Next time....

    Came here to with my little sis to enjoy a night out on bourbon street and while we initially came in to escape the rain we stayed for the party. The DJ had the place jumping and it was a vibe. There were multiple bachelor and bachelorette parties there enjoy themselves and providing some people watching entertainment lol. They also offer some HUGE ASS BEERS of various sizes. Some with nice assets as well, check my pic. If in town a great place to stop for a vibe and Turnup

    Great blues band!

    The Danny Alexander Blues Band was playing as we walked by - so very happy we stopped. Amazing music, danced the whole time we were there, just couldn't keep still. And 2 beers for $11 - such a deal! Very friendly staff. Will be back

    Located smack dab in the middle of Bourbon Street is this bar/dinky dance club. I can't speak for the dance floor/club aspect of it. Although I can tell you that they blast the sh*t out of that music. Like I could barely hear myself think much less talk. We were walking around and just checking everything out in general when these guys walked by with these obscenely ginormous bottles of beer marked.. Huge Ass Beers. Sold! lol I walk up to the counter at the side of the bar and order. 70 ounce beer for $26. lol The options were Miller Lite or Bud Light. Service was ok. Don't expect much. lol Prices reflect the touristy nature of where you are at, so I can live with it. It is what it is and in my book that's.. A-Ok. 3 stars.

    This has to be one of my favorite bars in New Orleans on Bourbon. They play a variety of music and have a full bar. Everytime I come in here people are always dancing. There is no cover charge and sometimes have 2 for 1 beers.

    We came here on a Thursday night after our cruise arrived in port. Day service was great. Bartender big smile and very eager to help. Great live music! Decided to go back to the room for a little relaxation so we were well prepared for a night of drinking, dancing, and fun! We stopped in and had the same bartender...super nice! Danced for a long while and spent some good money. Decided to walk upstairs and it was not a good or fun experience. Dj was playing so we wanted to step out on the balcony. NO! NOT WITHOUT A DRINK IN HAND! What? We just had been drinking shots on the lower level! Oh well...Let's just dance to the DJ...sorry, you can't dance right here. MOVE! No! We are outta here! Spent $$ on drinks. Had a great buzz and was really enjoying our time. WHAT A FUN SUCKER!! We left and didn't return.

    The Danny Alexander Blues Band.

    The upstairs portion had the best music we could find on Bourbon street and a great vibe! The balcony was pretty cool as well.

    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.
