Corner Pocket

Go For The Naked Boys, Stay For The Bartenders

The Corner Pocket has a long history of bringing in some of the hottest (and a few of the not-so-hot) bar-top strippers in New Orleans. On a typical weekend night, you'll find an assortment of 20-something go-go boys turnt out in all their g-string and jockstrap glory. The crowd varies from night to night, but is usually packed to the rafters on weekends, especially during special events like Mardi Gras and Southern Decadence. A diverse crowd of 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-somethings (and above) call this local hotspot their neighborhood bar, and you can easily tell the locals from the tourists simply by watching who gets stuck in the crowd while trying to get to the bathroom (clue: it's always the tourists) The bartenders here are the real treasure, though. If you're lucky enough to be there when it's slow and quiet enough to carry on a conversation, Bruce, Anthony, and Miss Ashley will show you exactly what fun in New Orleans is supposed to look like. These are veteran bartenders who don't mess around when it comes to good service, friendly conversation, and one of the few remaining unmeasured pours in the French Quarter. Personal safety should always be anyone's number one priority when partying in the French Quarter, but take special care here, as some of the young patrons/dancers have been known to liberate a gentleman of his wallet, usually without his knowing it. (I speak from experience!) Keep your wits about you, be mindful of whose hands go where, and if you leave the bar with a stranger, always let someone know who you're with and where you'll be. It's a sad and frustrating fact that the French Quarter is teeming with a criminal element that prey on unwary tourists, drunken locals, and anyone who they appraise as being an easy target. So if you are travelling alone, just watch your surroundings and stay in well lit areas on your way to and from this most excellent bar.

a good time

Spent a good portion of my Mardi Gras vacation here and had a ball. Myself and 3 friends travel a bunch and somehow always end up in a club that features dancers but these boys are by far the friendliest. Some of the other reviews are correct Corner Pocket is a bit small and when its busy it can be hard to move around, there are some boys working here who clearly are on something, there are also many who are open to hanging out after shift lol. Those things can cause some to skip this place but if you can overlook those three things much fun can be had here. If you go try get there on a weekend and check to see if the back bar is open. That will usually be run by Cody he not only makes awesome drinks he is an all around nice guy.

The kind of place you want to go but don't want to admit you went. LOL

I went here on my 23rd birthday on my first vacation to New Orleans. Arrived about 9 PM to find a small empty bar with 1 pool tables and 2 bartenders. An hour later I found myself surrounded by mostly naked young twinks who all looked like Justin Bieber wannabes. As the night progressed mostly naked twinks turned into completely naked ones. I personally had a great time but I was the only patron of the bar who was under 25 years old and I was confused for being part of the staff most of the night which I am not sure if that was a complement or not. LOL on a sidenote the bar is a little sketchy I would definitely keep a good eye on your cash!

Strip bar

Small space filled with twinky type strippers. Been told they bring in much better quality strippers during Southern Dec. Gotta watch pickpockets here and slightly sketchy crowd in my opinion...lol

Watch for pickpockets

I am fairly sure one of the dancers pickpocketed me Friday night, but I did not catch him in the act, and he denied it. He did not get much, but I probably won't go again.
