Bourbon Pub Parade
Voted Best Gay Bar in New Orleans & French Quarter, Bourbon Pub Parade has been around for over 45 years. A central location in the heart of the French Quarter brings all sorts of people flock to this bi-level club every night of the week. Award winning drag shows are hosted here regularly, and there's always a great energy on the dance floor. For a more relaxing night, hang out in the video lounge or on the wraparound balcony.
The Corner Pocket
This is a place where boys dance nightly on the bar, but it's also a classic neighbourhood bar with a down-to-earth attitude. The bar has an 80s and 90s vibe so you can get lost in nostalgia, especially at daily happy hour with great value vodka cocktails and your other favourite drinks. Crowds gather every night to enjoy the views of the dancers, and every Friday is New Meat Night where new and attractive guys dance for a jackpot.
The Four Seasons Bar
Hidden away in Metairie away from the central gay scene, Four Seasons is a reliable hangout spot for the local queer community. It's something of a hidden gem, off the beaten path but always up for a party. Parties here attract a fun and friendly crowd, and the bar also hosts regular drag revues that are especially popular. To explore a different part of the city get a taste of a smaller gay hideaway, this is the place to go.
Good Friends Bar
Good Friends Bar is located in the lively French Quarter, surrounded by other gay bars and in the heart of the scene. This traditional yet quirky venue is designed for a quieter night out, serving classic drinks at unbeatable prices in a charmingly old-fashioned space. Downstairs there is a solid mahogany bar, brick fireplace, pool tables, and a host of unique decor, while upstairs you'll find the Queen's Head Pub offering an intimate Victorian atmosphere.
Crossing
Crossing in a friendly neighbourhood video bar in the historic French Quarter. The equally historic building has recently been renovated to create a truly unique space that remains high on the list of go-to destinations on the gay scene. The decor combines steampunk with a Victorian twist and an air of true New Orleans culture, resulting in a quirky hangout spot that suits anyone. Crowds regularly gather to watch the game on huge TVs around the bar.
