Stopped here for a few drinks as we started walking down Bourbon away from the "action." This is a great little bar in a residential area that doesn't give you that cheap feeling like others further down. The rustic feel is great inside the bar and the outdoor area is enjoyable (except for maybe the port-a-potties). The drink selection is... More

No electricity, so the whole place is lit by candles. Fun and laid back atmosphere. Inside and outside tables with good music. There won't ever be a bar like this ever again! Say that you experienced the oldest bar in the U.S.

We stopped by for a beer after reading good reviews on tripadvisor. Very laid back and relaxed casual atmosphere, lots of photos on the walls of well know faces, see how many you recognise when you visit! This place has a lot more character than most of the places we passed on Bourbon street, places we avoided to be honest,... More

Walk down Bourbon Street toward the end and you'll find this landmark intimate bar. It's right on the way to Frenchman Street and in a perfect place for a stop along the way ... or on the way back.

No electricity except behind bar so at night its candle-lit. Oldest free standing bar in New Orleans. great history and preservation to it. Worth it. Have some beverages and have a good time. Ask for a couple cherries that they soak in Everclear for your enjoyment, lol... ;-) Anyway - its definately a must-visit if you lke to drink and... More

I went Friday and Saturday night for about an hour each time during the first week of Jazz Fest 2013. Dark, candlelit, and intimate, this place is perfect for a late night drink and a song! You won't find bright lights and loud music here. There's a piano and a microphone sitting in the back corner of the bar with... More

This place is a great local hideout. Great piano player where you can actually sit at the piano and sing along. Dark inside but always fun!

This place is great. It was our first stop on our haunted pub tour. Very rustic, gritty, fun. This is a dive bar at its best. Its got a laid back crowd and a great location. If you are looking for some fancy, flashy place, go somewhere else.

My mother's maiden name being LaFitte, I started researching my ancestry a long time ago. I learned that my family is direct decendents of The Pirate Jean LaFitte! (Formerly spelled Laffite before the spelling was lost back in the day). So, needless to say, I HAD to visit old grandpa's shop while in New Orleans! Love the atmosphere. An old... More
