The Best Bars on New Orleans’s Bourbon Street | Eater New Orleans

"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

From the moment we stepped into Tropical Isle, the vibe was so fun and welcoming. We tried the Hand Grenade and I highly recommend it. It was strong, tasty, and lived up to the hype. The staff were super friendly and the bartender gave us a little show which made the experience even better. Especially the Shark Attack drink. It was so cool. The whole presentation was fun and over the top in the best way. Definitely a must visit if you are in New Orleans.

Home of the world famous Hand Grenade, New Orleans most powerful drink! Tropical Isle Bayou Club is my most favorite spot on Bourbon street! My boyfriend and I love to grab a hand grenade and find a spot to sit a while and enjoy some of the best people watching in the world! and of couse the band that plays most everyday we've visited called the Hangovers. The band is so much fun they take requests and keep us singing and laughing along. The staff here is always nice and have great suggestions on other places to visit in the city. If the famous hand grenade is too much debauchery for your ideal night, Tropical Isle has a few other fun themed mixed drink options including a shark attack, Tropical itch etc listed and a full bar to find your favorite way to imbibe.

Place felt quite cold and sterile. They were having a hard time pulling customers in so they seated us right up front and then we waited 30 minutes for food even though there was only three other couples sitting at various tables in the back. The smell of urine blowing in from off of Bourbon Street was definitely not what I was expecting to smell. The shrimp Po boy was deep fried crunchy shrimp on bread 2 in thick so I skipped on the bread and just ate the shrimp having expected not deep fried shrimp.

We had a great time. The band was very good.(Dave Ferrato & friends.) Angel was a great bartender. Friendly, and good at her job. And the other customers were very friendly and easy to talk to. Great atmosphere.

This place was a lot of fun and I would love to go back. Good music and good drinks. I strongly recommend the frozen hand grenade and didn't eat. Definately stop in here. The shark attack drink has a surprise that comes with it, if you dare to find out.

Came here for the first time yesterday. Great bar on Bourbon. They have drink specials. Fun atmosphere. Great LIVE music and the bartenders are very engaged and entertaining when they serve their hand grenade and shark drinks. Cool spot to check out if you are in the area.

Fun music venue on Bourbon Street. There was a local Zydeco band performing, and they were outstanding. The dance floor was always full of couples dancing.

The other one further down drinks were on point; my favorite was the hand grenade. I went there Friday night. However, this Saturday, I didn't enjoy the drinks ( shark attack Medicare but dislike the one that was like a rum punch (tropical or hurricane or something like that). It had a bitter taste, like watered down Kool aid with an after taste. Despite the drinks, I give five stars for professional, speed, and presentation. SHARK ATTACK!!!!
