United States Louisiana New Orleans

Vaughan's Lounge

Iconic jazz haunt offering live music, local vibe & late-night gigs in an unpretentious setting.

Tips from the community

Don't pass up this quirky neighborhood classic! Vaughn's Lounge has been around since the 1950s and is filled with old souls and new souls- characters from all walks of life. The drinks list is straight to the point, but you don't come here for the mixology program. You come for the friendly vibes, great music, and most importantly the "now there's something you don't see every day" moments that happen all of the time. Anyone wanna join in a goat parade? Line up at Vaughn's.

  • Best Bars in New Orleans

    seambrose (Sarah Ambrose)
    To find the best bars in New Orleans, it's time to get off of Bourbon Street. Sure, a night on Bourbon St. has its place, but if you want to drink like a local, you need to step out (or stumble out) of the French Quarter. In this list, you'll find New Orleans bars that celebrate its long-standing cocktail tradition, international influences, and hidden neighborhood hangouts. The best bars in New Orleans host some of the quirkiest humans you'll find.. well, really anywhere. This list is a great fit for your 1st or 50th trip to the Big Easy.
