Gay Bars in New Orleans, LA

“The golden lanterns staff is easily one of the best in the quarter. Year in and year out, the people that work there make the place very much of what it is and why people love to go there routinely. Greg has always taken great care of me as has all of the staff. Thank you for giving me a place to go.“

“Come to Lafitte in Exile whenever I'm back in town, which is frequently and have been coming for years. Spent many afternoons there when Jeff was Bartending and Pancho LaPerle was holding court at the end of the bar. Never disappointed. Friendly clientele and usually very good and friendly service. Special shoutout to Nicolas. A lot of reviewers are mistaking this for Lafittes Blacksmith Shop. Interesting history involving both, but very different establishments.

PS I love whoever writes the responses to some of the 'one drink, write a bad review' nonsense on here.“

“Always a pleasure to visit. Staff are dancers. Dancers are very good and socialize with u. Also Michael is ALWAYS a great host. Always alot of customers looking at the barf!“

“Fun and the locals favorite bar“

“Loved spending time at QiQi! Will be a must stop every time I’m back in NOLA! It’s a place where you’ll make instant friends!“

“Went on the recommendation of a local and I’m so glad I did! Went with a group of friends and we all felt welcomed. Two of us don’t drink liquor and the bartender whipped up an impromptu mocktail for us! Shoutout to Mike and Daddy Mark for their hospitality :)“

“The Page Bar was without any doubt my favorite bar in New Orleans. The owner and staff are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people I met in the city. There is a huge selection of amazing Jell-O shots, and the drinks are great.
This will be my first stop every time I visit from now on. I can’t recommend this bar highly enough.“

“First time ever going to a Drag show. I will say this, I have not ever smiled and laughed so darn hard at any show I have ever been to... If you are nervous about going, please go! You will not at all regret it! EVERY ONE of the performers absolutely nailed their sets! We will certainly be coming back down here just to see everyone again! BRING YOUR DOLLAR BILLS! Bartenders are amazing and the whole environment is nothing but positive energy! Everyone can feel safe in there!!“

“The main draw of this place seems to be the backroom experience. Otherwise youll get tired quickly. The pour is fairly weak compared to other places. The staff is sweet but you didnt come to a bar to chat and fill up on cranberry juice.....or maybe you did. Idk.“

“I love this bore because it is a well-known gay bore, And it is open to anyone that wants to enjoy a good time. The drinks Or reasonable depending on what you are. If you get beer, it’s gonna be under five dollars depending on the cocktail you order it could be anywhere from seven to $10 or even more.
The atmosphere at the Bourbon pub it’s absolutely wonderful and Music videos of fantastic on the big screens. I always have a great time at the Bourbon.
Last savage date night, the bourbon pub advertise a drag show and strip show combination upstairs. I went in to attend. I had a great time at the drag Show, And after the drag showed, they had a strip show with a cowboy routine. That had many girls that were from out of town that was bridesmaids attending the show. I never ever mind that’s fine with me whatever you like to watch. But remember the bourbon pub is a gay bar. When I went and purchased a ticket to attend the show, the girl should’ve told me when she took my money that it’s a drag show and a strip show, but the strip show is for women only. At the strip show the men that was trapping only wanted to entertain the women that was in the club. This upset me because I paid my money to attend the show. I was offering the strippers a dollar or tw, Depending on how much I like them and thought the strip tease was pretty good. Only one stripper came over by me and took my ball. The breast only wanted to entertain the women.. Like I said, I have no problem with it. The only thing I’m saying the stripper should’ve came and took the money I was offering and also entertained me because remember it is a gay bar doesn’t say lesbian bar. I think the management of the club should also tell the strippers you have to entertain everyone not just the women. There were several men attending, but after the first two strips, three of them left because they didn’t feel they were treating the audience fair.
I refuse to leave and stay for the whole show, but if someone is attending your show, male a female, you should entertain everyone and at least take their money.
I would also like to add that they have excellent bartenders at the bourbon pub, It is easy to remember their names and the drinks are always fantastic.“
