Cajun & Zydeco bands provide the soundtrack in this lively gathering place with strong drinks.
"Although throwing back one (or more) hand grenades will surely lead to questionable decision-making, the distinctively shaped plastic cups are ubiquitous on Bourbon Street. Tropical Isle put the drink on the map during the ill-fated 1984 World’s Fair — the hand grenade was the fair’s biggest success. While there are a number of Tropical Isles in the Quarter, if you’re going to pick one, our recommendation goes to the Bayou Club, where you can catch Zydeco and Cajun music." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
