Right on the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann, this is a great stop. Crowded bar downstairs, dance floor and 2 more bars upstairs, this place has something or someone for everyone. Hottest strippers in town!

Mixed thoughts

swlaman82 0/

We had fun here! We got in before they started charging cover and had a few drinks but when they started to charge cover the drink prices went up and were too high. The music upstairs on the dance floor was pretty good and the balcony is a great please to hang out and people watch. One of the dancers had a HOT body and was showing off quite a package but the other wasn't attractive at all.

Not all that it's cracked up to be...

okpackage1 0/

First of all , we were there for Southern Decadence.. and it was a great experience....Most of the bars were jammed packed with nary a place to move... Good and at the same time a bit tacky.. The problem with some of the clubs, is that the dance floor is so small, that you just about can't dance... Not that was ever a problem.. but the crowd didn't seem cohesive... People on cell phones all over the place...and using that small space as just a walk through... Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of fun... but if pushing and shoving.. and extreme heat is your bag, then you'll love this place... If you want a but tamer experience... then this is not the place to go.. We went back about 3 times in one night.. and it was all the same...decided to go to the bath house to ( if you can believe it) relax ...

Hot GoGo Boys

This place always has the best gogo boys that are handsome and muscular. It is extremely busy every time I have been here. The guys do not pressure you for a tip. They get off on showing their bodies.

My new fave in NOLA

KevinGoebel 0/

Just returned from my fourth vacation in NOLA, the only one that wasn't during Mardi Gras or Southern Decadance. In previous visits, I could barely enter this place because of the holiday crowds. This time I was able to enjoy it in the middle of the day as well as busy evenings. Friendly staff (shout out to our favorite bartender, Lawrence), nice crowd of all types, and cute go-go boys who don't hassle you for tips. My favorite bar in New Orleans.

HEARBEAT OF THE GAY BARS

Lee1961 0/

I used to come here almost daily. Used to go to T Dance every Sunday. Have'nt been here lately,which is a shame. The bars in this area(Lafittes,Oz,Good Friends and The Clover Grill) you can STILL SAFELY WALK TO) which is liberating.

THE PUB NEVER STOPS GIVING A GREAT TIME!

BristowNorwich 63/M

I make no apologies for the fact that I am a gay man of a certain age. That has obvious disadvantages in the "only young people matter" gay mindset, but I'm not offended, as I thought the same way in my day. Being older (and also a survivor) does, however, gives me certain privileges, and, most of all, perspective. From 88' to 90', I lived in New Orleans (in the GD), and spent alot of time in the Quarter, and there were a number of bars, restuarants, and other unmemtionalbes, that I frequented, with the Bourbon Pub, being the nexus, and center of all my activities. I would branch out from the Pub all over the Quarter. It may be just me, but I have an inclination to space, and the Pub provided space. You could walk around the bar, and have three different conversation going on, all at the same time. The Pub is set up for conversation, it's hard to just sit on a stool at 11:00 AM, and not want to talk. The action, surprisingly, is organizied around people speaking to people. And, of course, with all the video screen about, the excuse is even evident. But, of course, these are all remembrances of the good days, before Katrina, when everything changed. I returned to New Orleans, for the first time, on business some weeks back, and I was pleased that the Pub, was still there, doing what it has always done for generations - giving the Quarter a focus, and an excuse for a very good time. Be it during the day (for the older men), or in the evening (for the young people), the Bourbon Pub has always given the (gay) Quarter it's gentle center. The one thing that is so neat about the Quarter, is that you can just get up an walk around. In this, the Quarter is very much like it's Parisian mentors, you just move from cafe to cafe, and back again. The Pub has changed a little, and yet, it has remain exactly what it is - a Place for a Very Good Time.

At the vortex of gay nightlife in NOLA

tnsoutherner 49/M

The corner of Bourbon and St Ann is the spot for gay nightlife in the Quarter. Oz - a bit younger crowd - is directly across the street so you can cruse from the opposing balconies. A good mix of people - we're in our 40s and feel right at home. The place to be during Decadence.

and Drag too!

MJK 42/M

Yeah this was the delightful and decadent vortex I kept being sucked back into after exploring other places. Just so much Variety! I saw some incredible drag numbers and danced until it wasn't my birthday anymore!

A must see in the Big E !

Memorialguy73 33/M

This bar has brought me many great times! I get to NOLA several times a year and always have a blast at the Pub! The bar is always packed but you are still able to get your drink on. The first floor is a large video bar that has great clips and videos. It is always fun and full of happy people. The second floor is the dance bar with a lounge area in the rear. They ussually have dancers for you who like that and the music is always pumping. Overall, this bar is the gay bar of New Orleans. You have two floors to choose from and that option gives you the feeling that you have two different clubs. Oz across the street is fun too but overall, your best time will probably be at The Bourbon Pub /Parade, it just has more to offer. BTW, the bartenders know customer service! Get back to New Orleans, there is no city in the world like it.

Yea, it's the Pub...

ratt 37/M

OK.. It's a staple of New Orleans Gay Life.. I can't even count the nights I've been all spilled out in the Pub/Parade. It's one of those places that you will see every ex boyfriend you've ever had, but don't hold that against them.. Definitely a must visit.

One of 2 "must see" Bourbon St staples

JamminBJ 37/M

Along with Oz, it's one of two anchors at the gay corner--Bourbon and St. Anne. For Mardi Gras or Southern Decadence, you may have to pay a cover at night for Parade (upstairs). Bring (or earn) lots of beads to reward flashers on the street from its famous balconies. Fun, young, cute, boozy crowd on major weekends. OK other times. Hot dancers and bar tenders.
