    As many tourists do, I decided to bounce around to various bars and clubs in the Bourbon Street area so I could get a taste of them all. I must say that once I got to "Corner Pocket," I didn't want to go to any other bars! My group of friends and myself LOVED this bar! The prices are no bad at all, the drinks and music were awesome, and the "dancers" were an incredible part of the entire experience. These guys dance on the bar and definitely keep you entertained, so have your cash ready to tip them. Trust me, you'll want to! In addition to the very entertaining gentlemen on the bar, we also fell in love with our fun and witty bartender, Ashley! She absolutely made our entire night! I can't say enough good things about her. Overall, this bar is incredible, and I wish I could have stayed longer just to go back a few more times to this bar. A MUST try for any gay or gay friendly guy to wants to have a fun time.

    Best gay bar in NOLA. cheap drinks, cheaper go-gos. Don't tip too much! You'll get a show regardless.

    Rob who is the bartender during the day is a great guy. We had a lot of fun chatting with him.

    Bad experience friends got ripped off by two dancers. Won't ever go back here again the management should protect their patrons better.

    THIS PLACE! Oh my gosh -- SO FUN. Such a gem, seriously…read more We walked by and decided that we just had to go inside. And I'm so glad we did, because we made friends and had to come back 2 more times before we left NOLA. It's a dive but a quirky and unique one. We had all kinds of different drinks, including the homemade Jell-O shots, and loved every one. Get to know the staff and you'll be so glad that you did. They are truly all amazing and so much fun. Good vibes only!

    Chances are pretty likely that this is the friendliest gay bar in New Orleans. Jamie W and I were…read moredoing a rather cursory search when we came upon the enthusiastic reviews for this corner spot on the northeastern edge of the French Quarter. It definitely felt off the beaten track because it required a ride on the red Riverfront Streetcar Line. When we entered the premises, we immediately thought it was a sports bar given all the TV screens that were on, each featuring a different game. Sitting at the bar, there was more of a frisky friendliness from the bearish bartender. His gregarious personality made us feel right at home and not like some dyed-in-the-wool tourists. The subtle decorative elements exposed the true orientation of the bar. There was also a baby boomer vibe because where else would you see a vintage movie poster of "Man's Favorite Sport?" starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss (Photo 3). The price was right: $5 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 10). They were potent, too. Keep 'em comin'. DRINKS - 5 stars...the price and potency were just right AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...divey and a tad crowded SERVICE - 4 stars...nice bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...another round might've pushed this rating to 5 stars RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

A local initially gave us the recommendation and it's my favorite place to go to find community in the French quarter.

    I have to admit Jamie W and I were expecting a more convivial atmosphere given the name, but it…read morejust wasn't meant to be. The bartenders were young, and the only business we saw consisted of drunk women who looked like they made a wrong turn off Bourbon Street. 8PM may have been too early to expect a congregation of social sisters.. No Espresso Martinis to be found here, so we went with our standby, the $12 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 5). They were satisfying enough. Not much interaction with the bartenders who preferred socializing with each other. Ah, youth. We'll give it another try the next time we're in Nawlins, but The Golden Lantern was a friendlier spot. DRINKS - 3.5 stars...potent enough at a good Happy Hour price AMBIANCE - 3 stars...pretty vacant when we were here SERVICE - 2.5 stars...preoccupied...with each other TOTAL - 3 stars...good friends?
