Bourbon Pub Parade

Bourbon Pub Parade is an absolute blast! The energy is great, the crowd is fun, and the music keeps going all night. I had such a great time here. Amazing vibes and friendly staf, It’s the perfect spot to let loose, dance, and enjoy the true spirit of gay New Orleans. Can’t wait to go back!

Went for a lesbian/ girls night. Was fun, they had enough staff, and environment was cool. Loved the dj. Maybe better marketing bc my straight friend told me about it and there can definitely be more girls attending.

Just hosted a weekend 70th birthday in NOLA a weekend ago. Mikey the manager and his whole team were spot on with service, special requests, setting up the catered food upstairs, dancers, security and amazing bartenders David and Sam made the post-second line party upstairs special for 70+ guests from all over the country and Europe! We could not have had more fun- all thanks to the owner and fabulous team and this iconic New Orleans institution! Thank you!

This is not the same bar I used to frequent and perform at. Just visited this weekend and one of the guards followed us making sure we bought a drink just to be there. No thanks, went upstairs and danced at parade and when done this dude followed us outside and said I know y'all wasn't gonna buy a drink... Bih when do we have to buy a drink to be in the gay club??? It's not even popular like it used to be and y'all employ people to hound us for money. Won't be coming back! Ill hold on to the memories.

Had we been in NOLA years ago, I would've hit up this place along with their surrounding counterparts more than once as I used to love nightlife/clubbing back in my younger days. Nowadays, I hate crowds and cover charges. Lucky for me, it was a Thursday night so both of my excuses for not going were non-existent. ATMOSPHERE: It's a two level establishment located at the end of Bourbon Street's "fun section", meaning the crowds and cluster of businesses are much thinner. The first level is open-air and where the majority of the people congregated around the large central bar. Music was a mix of pop/dance. The second level is air conditioned and sports a stage where karaoke was taking place. A wrap around balcony with high tops offers great views of Bourbon Street and people watching. This was a Thursday night so crowds were minimal, perfect to me. We hung out on the second floor and watched some karaoke but I preferred the balcony. BEVERAGE: Our tab included Vodka Cranberry & Grey Goose Martini for under $20. That's what I'm talking about! Drinks don't need to be overpriced. SERVICE: The male bartender on the second floor was friendly and a good mixologist. TIP: I love that you can take your drink to go! OVERALL: Fun and friendly bar with affordable drink prices.

We purchased the VIP bracelet. Let's just say the staff is not very welcoming. My friend came in early on Thursday and showed up at 9pm, but they don't give out the already purchased entrance bracelets at that time. He had to pay to get in when though he already paid $100 to get in prior to arrival. The upstairs staff is snotty and we didn't feel welcomed. Save your money and spend it else where.

Laid back atmosphere by day, different at night. My straight friends really totally comfortable there in NYE, although it was just 630PM
