You HAVEN"T visited New Orleans without it!
I recently took a long awaited trip to New Orleans and met Paul at an open house. He was so friendly and easy going that when he invited my friend and I to his bar that evening, we new we had to go. We never expected, however, to have the time of our trip at JohnPauls. During my stay in N.O. , I did the usual tourist stuff....Bourbon street, French Quarter, Cafe Dumonde, Maspero's, power shopping, various tours etc. Out of all of it, my absolute favorite was the night I spent at JohnPauls. I have been to several bars/clubs in my area (D.C.) and none have been as friendly and fun as JohnPauls. I couldn't believe how good the drinks were and the prices were quite fair. It was easy to meet people as the atmosphere lends itself to good conversation and if that wasn't enough reason to go....I was then handed a bowl of freshly popped popcorn at the beginning of the most darling drag show! Marcy and the ladies were wonderful! JohnPauls is one of those places you hope to find on vacation...the kind of place that locals enjoy and keep secret for themselves. Well, no more...I say YOU HAVEN'T VISITED NEW ORLEANS WITHOUT IT.! Many thanks, John and Paul.....from Kristi
WOW
Check out the upstairs of this place. It's like a Bayou mansion, classically decked out in a Victorian interior design. The owners and staff are so friendly, it will blow your damn mind. I went to this place during Southern Decadence, and I can't stop thinking about it. They served a great barbecue pork dinner. All the food in this town is great.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
REFRESHING! IT'S ABOUT TIME WE HAD SOMEPLACE THAT IS WELCOMING TO EVERY FACTION OF OUR COMMUNITY. WHETHER YOUR IN A PROM DRESS, FULL LEATHER, OR JUST JEANS AND A T-SHIRT, JOHN, PAUL, AND THE ENTIRE STAFF WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME. MY FAVORITE BAR!
Why Bother
Simply Tragic. Don't bother. Go across the street !
Mardi Gras 2009
Went to John Paul's several times during the last Mardi Gras and had a great time especially during the Krewe of Olympus' Houston's social/party. I look forward to going again during Labor Day weekend's Southern Decadence 2009. They also had excellent Bloody Marys.
