 THE
NEW ORLEANS & BOURBON STREET BAR SCENE
You won't have any trouble finding a place to drink in
New Orleans. Heck, thanks to "go" (or "geaux")
cups, you won't have to spend a minute without a drink
in your hand. (It's legal to have liquor outside as long
as it's in a plastic cup. Actually, given the number of
people who take advantage of this law, it almost seems
illegal not to have such a cup in your hand.)
Note that many of the clubs listed are terrific spots to
hoist a few (or a dozen), while some of the bars below also
provide music--but that is strictly background for their
real design. Piano bars, in particular, have begun to pop
up in New Orleans like mushrooms after a good rain. They're
everywhere; in addition to the ones listed below, you can
find a piano bar in almost every large hotel, and plenty
of others off by themselves.
Many bars stay open all the time or have varying hours
depending upon the night or the season. If you have your
heart set on a particular place, it's always best to call
and make sure what their hours will be for that day. While
New Orleans function on limited resources there is plenty
of great bars are open, including Bourbon Street Bars,
with more to come....
