Where Everybody Knows Your....

One of the few places in the city where you can go and have fun. Staff is great, friendly, and personable. Nightlife is AWESOME on the weekends upstairs at the Parade. Holiday party is a must. Dont miss out on Halloween, Decadance, New Years, Mardi Gras, or any other holiday. This bar knows how to party, they make going out and BEING out a new adventure!

attitude?

   piratejay - 04/21/2005

I've never encountered any kind of attitude from the staff at the Pub. But then, I never give them any attitude either. Anyway, I have the most fun at the Bourbon Pub on Sundays and there's no cover. By the way, the Pub is not "the oldest continually operating gay bar in the United States". That would be Cafe Lafittes.

PLEASE

The problem with this place is that they think that you have no choice but to come and to pay to get in most of the time.
About half of the staff thinks they are THE QUEENS OF NEW ORLEANS. I guess they assume people come to the Pub to see them.
If you want to see a barstaff prance around and try to get themselves laid,by all means, pay to get into the pub. Otherwise, try OZ, Good Friends, Lafitte's- heck, even the straight clubs are better.
It is a shame that New Orleans is known as a gay friendly city, yet this trash is voted one of the "best" clubs.
Oh and if you do go, have a little fun. Just observe how many kids sit at the bar, high on some sort of drug, and just flirt with the bartender. Watch them never purchase a drink and keep the paying customers from getting to the bar.
Get a clue pub- you wouldnt have to charge so many cover charges if your staff would just simply do their jobs.

visitor thoughts

This place is over rated. I don't think they much like tourists here. I visited for Mardi Gras. I tried both the pub and Oz across the street and Oz was much better. Seems like most people walk back and forth between the clubs anyway.
Wish they would look in the bathrooms every one and a while. Between people doing drugs and the obsolute filth, the bathrooms were unuseable.
The guy wearing the "ducks" hat was nice and helpful

this place SUCKS

As someone who has worked at the Bourbon Pub I find it hysterical that someone would accuse the staff there of having "Attitude." Not having attitude is one thing the Pub prides itself on, so this sounds like Sour Grapes. People are asked to leave when they can't behave like a decent human being but other than that everyone is welcomed in and treated wonderfully.

Its not all that

The place could be much better, by simply being original. It seem to me that club is identical to the club (OZ) across the street. They play the same music, the crowd is that same (majority white men) and the atmostphere is just as pissy as the other...but when i go out I find myself at the pub. Not really enjoying but rather sipping on cape codes until i don't care who's their, whats being played or how stiff the crowd is. Solution. Diversity in men and a varity of music,besides dance. I never hear hip hop/rap, rb, or bjork. whats up with that?

I started going to the Parade over 20 years ago and it is still my favorite place to dance and hang out on the Balcony and talk , especially around Mardi Gras or New Year's Eve. The sound system is the best I have ever danced to and the 70's videos especially of Cher are great. I love the place and always will. The ONLY thing that makes it a drag is all the smoking people do there. Charlotte

BEST GAY CLUB IN N.O.
