These Are New Orleans’s Very Best Bars
"Lafitte’s, over 300 years old, is reputed to be the oldest building in the U.S. used as a bar — it’s supposed to have been the storehouse of New Orleans privateer, read pirate, Jean Lafitte. The bar attracts less for its cocktail program than for its candle-lit, rustic, and on-theme atmosphere. And while Lafitte’s gets bustling come night, its lower Bourbon location puts some breathing room between it and the strip club scene. Keep the drinks simple here, and try the purple drink." - Eater Staff
