We went to OZ to chill with drinks and play bingo, and we stayed for the drag shows. This used to…read morebe the best late night party dance club in the city, but has now transformed into a decent show bar. On our visit, the drinks were recently priced and we easily found a table to chill and play bingo-which was actually a lot of fun. And the bonus of hanging out and playing bingo eas we kept our table and watched the show while the new crowds had to stand.

Shout out to Mr. Nicholas!!…read more I appreciate the gratitude and just pure knowledge of what cocktail or dive bar drink to make depending on the mood of the patron. Thank you! I think this spot is such a gem! I came here years ago and was given such an experience and might I add years down the line I stumbled here and was still given a good time and drink.so much so I'm on drink#3 the dreamsicle which taste fabulous!; I will be back! When a bartender makesnyoir drink correct and you don't even have to think about what you want....that's the spot for you!

Honestly, my group needed a refill so it was a quick stop…read more One thing we learned about this spot is that it's open 24 hours! I know, many places are, but this is prolly the first one we've been to. Drinks were served quick, and just as quickly, we bounced. Kinda cool that they're ready for that kinda crowd. Good first run. Would most likely include it in my bar hop next time I come through the French Quarter!

The bar was full and MardiGras events in full swing. Yet the vibe was relaxed and I had a great first night in New Orleans with my amazing friends- Arthur and Hamilton. The drinks were delicious- I think I was a bit parched from a 5 hr flight from Seattle. Loved the back room store and the cozy patio. I promise to return to the Big Easy and do it all over again. "Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

I went to the bathroom and stepped in a very adult leather shop by accident. I found the bathroom, and it was fine. I mentioned the place to locals, and they all laughed and had stories about what was going on upstairs and what not. If you want a slice of San Francisco while you're in New Orleans, I recommend this place. If you don't like alternative lifestyles, I would stay away. Not too noisy, standard bar ambience.

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!

The Christmas music…read morewas blaring as I walked in, and one of the regulars was belting out the song better than Mariah Carey. There was one bartender and just a handful of others that night, but it was a random Wednesday in December, so I wouldn't have expected too much at that early-ish hour. Once we all got there and had ordered a couple of drinks, we were able to meet the bar manager/owner who told us the history of the building and all of its incantations before becoming what it currently is. It was fascinating to hear about the 300 years of evolution that the building has gone through, and the staff there was so much fun to talk to and learn from. Also, as I would hope for most dives - the drinks were strong and plentiful. It was a great way to start out our evening.

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?

Whenever I pass by there are always locals sitting at a table outside chatting it up - even early in the morning. I was in town for Southern Decadence and decided to finally check it out. I was surprised by how spacious it is inside. There is even an upstairs area with a bar (Queens Head Pub) and balcony views. Downstairs there is a pool table, gambling machines, and plenty of room to dance. The bartender was very friendly. I asked if they had a signature drink and he told me that The Separator has been a favorite for over 20 years. I decided to try it. It was a boozy milkshake that made me feel like a kid again. I can see why they call it The Separator because if you drink enough of it, you'll get separated from your friends. LOL! I came back later that evening and the place was buzzin' with a fun & lively crew. I enjoyed the music and was happy I stopped by.
