Cool historic bar. The purple frozen drank is real good. Tastes like a quality purple popsicle.

If you want to be jammed into a dark place with sweaty drunk tourists, while buying $7 coors lights, this is the place for you! The piano player is amazing, if you can get a spot at the piano.

Amazing historic bar. Drinks are sooo strong but very good. Careful of the 190 Cherry Bomb cherries, they pack a kick.

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is one of the oldest bars around so if you can get a seat inside to have a drink, I recommend it. However, do not bother with the Voodoo Daiquiri AKA Purple Drank. It looks and tastes like a melted grape popsicle and costs $10 but doesn't seem to have any alcohol in it. I'm a lightweight when it comes to booze so I usually feel it pretty quickly but I got nothing from this.

Historic and cool looking building, but that’s what makes it disappointing, it has the atmosphere of a club.

Awesome bar on Bourbon Street. The oldest bar in New Orleans pleases the crowd with phenomenal drinks and a spectacular set up for the piano to interact with the crowd.Go for a great time and sing with the crowd.
