The 8 Best Bars In The French Quarter 2024

"There are roughly 582 bars on Bourbon Street, and most of them aren’t worth your time unless your goal for the night is to end up on stage with an AC/DC cover band. Rather than give your friends the pleasure of watching you do that, head to Lafitte’s instead. It’s one of the oldest bars in America, and their frozen daiquiris alone are worth bobbing and weaving through the mix of bachelor parties, college kids, and tourists that clog the street each night." - carlo mantuano, garrett snyder, zella palmer
