Gay Bars in New Orleans, LA

“Visited last weekend and this place will always be a spot we come back to- the people there are welcoming. The staff make you feel at home and had such a great time at the show. I made some friends that no doubt will be in my future visits.“

“Great staff and the courtyard is the best“

“We made this place a stop on our celebration of my youngest's 21st birthday pub crawl, and enjoyed our visit and drinks! We went upstairs where we could toss some beads from the balcony and had a great drink and chat with the bartender, who gave us some good ideas on other places to visit. Everyone was friendly, the place felt clean, and the atmosphere was great. Thank you for being part of our evening!“

“GREAT PLACE.... GO THERE OFTEN... ALL THE BOIS ARE SO KIND AND BEAUTIFUL. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED“

“Great place, super friendly staff and management. If you want to drink and relax this is the place to go.“

“The beat was pulsing as I made my way upstairs. It was a relief that it wasn't too crowded up there. Although, I was disappointed to find that even the beers were warm. I was really craving a cold one, but no such luck at the upstairs bar.

When we stepped out onto the balcony, we were treated to an amazing view of Bourbon Street. The hustle and bustle down below was incredibly entertaining. The bar staff were all top-notch.“

“Fun and the locals favorite bar“

“Local musician from Asheville, North Carolina here. Was traveling back from SXSW Music Festival in Austin Texas and the crew wanted to stop by New Orleans on the way back north. As a first time experience to not only Bourbon Street, but New Orleans in general, I was blown away. This bar was the first we stepped into because of the incredible music and energy. Everyone was super friendly (not just the staff, it felt like a house party your best friend told you to show up to). The entire experience was beyond memorable. I wish they paid me to write this review, but I wanted to tell everyone about it. If you come to Bourbon Street, please ask for Lance, since they were the first to greet us and show us around the bar and introduce us to the energy of New Orleans. This human (Lance) is a part of the soul of New Orleans and I highly recommend asking them everything about your needs and expectations for the city life.Even writing this makes me want to go back. I'll be back soon and I hope anyone who visits New Orleans and wants to experience freedom and love to it's fullest extent visits this bar (more like ballroom with a wonderful sound system and chandeliers).Much love, travelers! And tell Lance that Davie G of Asheville said hello!

Kid-friendliness: The staff is more than happy to accommodate any questions regarding your children's needs, but this bar is definitely more an adult-leaning energy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level and plenty of room! Super friendly staff that will help too.“

“I got caught in an unexpected downpour and the bartender motioned me and my dog in. Friendly clientele and bartenders, affordable drinks. The bartender ended up giving my dog half his dinner. Haha. The previous review said the people here were"hood" which I find highly offensive. This is a Black gay bar and there are a few spaces like that in New Orleans. Probably someone who characterizes it as hood should not come back.“

“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!“

“Good food, excellent service“

“Bartender from small town in Texas wearing cowboy hat was the reason we came in. He’s so nice and cool. Makes drinks well. Great to talk to. Very intelligent and caring. Wife and I enjoyed chatting with him. We ordered more so we could stay longer and tip higher. Cash only-AtM inside. Small bar but it’s amazing how many fresh ingredients he has at bar. Very pleased with experience.“

“Crossing is my once and future home base for visits to the French Quarter. It's enough off Bourbon Street to be a refuge from crowds. It seems to have a nice mix of locals and service workers as well as visitors. The food and drinks are surprisingly reasonable and the place is open pretty much all the time. The bartenders are an absolute hoot and the whole place is a world more inclusive than most of the places I stepped in over my last few visits to NOLA. I can't wait for my next visit.“

“So glad we came across this place! It was karaoke night, which was so much fun! The bar staff were very friendly, we got to meet the owner Mike who was hosting the karaoke event. He was so welcoming and kind! Definitely the best bar we experienced on Bourbon St.“
