901 Bourbon St New Orleans, Louisiana70116 Get Directions (504)522-8397 Type: Gay Bar
In a nutshell: The Daddy of 'em all. Lafitte's claims to be the oldest gay bar in the country. Lafitte's features two floors of music and video. Downstairs you'll find the main bar. Upstairs you'll find a pool table and the balcony. During Carnival, because the gay crowd dominates this part of Bourbon Street, people tend to be a little more "adventurous" in their pursuit of beads and the balcony at Lafitte's can be quite "entertaining." Lafitte's is popular all year round and is open 24 hours a day. Happy hour 1pm on Monday all the way through 9pm on Friday... Cafe Lafitte’s Links: Website
