Worth checking out if yer on Bourbon St. They say it's oldest bar in the US (1772, pre-independence!) tho I think there's 3-4 other bars claiming the same. Would be classier w/out the ATM & jukebox.
A local institution, this shabbily elegant restaurant and bar with a Spanish-style courtyard is known for its Pimm's Cups and muffuletta sandwiches.
Come at 4am and eat your beignets with the local musicians. Pro tip: dont breathe out of your nose whilst beigneting unless you want a powder sugar face.
So you are a little tired of Bourbon street. Well, this is the place. Actually pretty chill. Great vibe. a must.
open 24-7, has a big poker room, and incredible air conditioning. only a couple blocks from Canal St, you'll need to take respite here at least once during the weekend.
