Tropical Isle is a legendary bar and live music venue located in the heart of NOLA. It is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a lively and unforgettable nightlife experience in the city. The bar's atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, with a fun and festive decor that perfectly captures the spirit of New Orleans. The signature drinks, such as the Hand Grenade and the Shark Attack, are strong and delicious, and they come in souvenir cups that make for great keepsakes or gifts. The Horny Gator is my least favorite drink with the Shark Attack being my favorite experience. The real star of the show at Tropical Isle is the live music. The stage is always hopping with talented musicians playing a mix of classic New Orleans jazz, blues, and funk. The dance floor is always packed with people grooving to the music, and the party goes on well into the night. The service at Tropical Isle is friendly and efficient, with bartenders who know how to mix a mean cocktail and keep the party going. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the entertainment of the drinks and live music. The only downside is that the bar can get quite crowded, especially during peak tourist season, so be prepared to wait for a table or elbow your way through the crowd. However, the lively atmosphere and unforgettable entertainment more than make up for any minor inconveniences. Overall, Tropical Isle is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a fun and memorable nightlife experience in New Orleans. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this iconic bar is a must-visit destination that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

Try the grenade but it will catch up to you! Get it on the rocks! This is a very refreshing cocktail to help get you in the mood for a night in NOLA!

Andrew gave 10/10 service. And if you want a good drink that comes with a good time get the shark attack

Get the hand grenade please. I had 2 and that was enough to get me going. $11 each. You can't go wrong with this and our bartender was really friendly.

Ahhhh the Hand Grenade is sooooo good! We discovered this gem too late in our trip! I read somewhere in the beginning of our trip that it tasted like melon and assumed that I would hate it! It's hardly the taste of these, and no flavor description really does it justice! The alcohol in them is hardly detectable and they sneak up on you really quick! So yummy! There's a reason they are empty and laying all in the gutters of Bourbon street! Get one! However...I got balsy and went out on a whim one night and ordered a Tropical Itch, not so good. I believe their iced blended version's machine was out of order so this was just on the rocks. Bleh! Don't mess with perfection...stick with the Hand Grenade!

We happened upon this bar during the late afternoon as we wanted to people watch but not eat just drink. There r 3 of these and we loved the one that had the upstairs . Located on bourbon st but further away from canal street. We hung upstairs and sat outside. Great drinks. Popcorn and games too. Pool tables and Ring toss. Went two days as we really liked it. The bartenders upstairs were fantastic. I’m sorry but I forgot their names they loved their job as they have been there for. Long time a really fun spot to hang and people watch
Loved the shark attack and hand grenades!! Bar was busy but not too long of a wait to get drinks to go. Pretty cool that you can walk up to a second entrance to get a quick hand grenade!

The best location. Always a fun atmosphere, and live music. Can't pass on the grenades or their array of beads for sale. Dont sleep on the spicy peanuts! So good.

Owner is a racist bigoted man. Always talking about how Muslims need to be banned and kicked out and how all mosques should be shut down. The only place that needs to be shut down is this trash hole.

This bar has two special cocktails. Have a Hand Grenade but take care! they are strong.. Another special is "Shark Attack" Order one and bells are rung and lights flash.
