Tips from the community
There’s no better place to get the party started than Pat O’Briens. This is the official home of New Orleans’ most iconic drink: the hurricane. Born back in the 1940s at Pat O’Briens, no trip to the Big Easy is complete with at least one glass of hurricane.
Much like pizza in NYC or currywurst in Berlin, you’ll find them on every corner, but not all hurricanes are created equally. For the original and reigning champ, Pat O’Briens will give you the perfect introduction to a hurricane. It’s also conveniently located so you can hop right over to your next destination, Preservation Hall.

Request a Song at Pat O’Brien’s Piano Bar:
Pat O’Briens is not only my favorite bar on Bourbon, but possibly one of my favorites in the whole city. They have an expansive courtyard, but you must visit for the dueling piano bar. Two pianists take the stage from 1 pm-1 am each day, rotating out each hour. I’ve been known to spend the whole day here at times. Drink a few hurricanes and request your favorite songs to be played on piano accompanied by masterful vocals. To request a song simply jot it down on one of their napkins and hand it over to the pianist of your choice with a dollar or two.

Dueling Piano Bar: I live two blocks away from Bourbon Street, so it’s no exaggeration that I’ve literally been to every bar and nightclub on this infamous stretch. Pat O’Brien’s is my favorite. They have the most expansive courtyard on Bourbon and a botanical fountain that has a crown of flames at night. The interior of Pat O’Briens is a lively dueling piano bar featuring some of the best pianists in the city. They perform every day of the week from 1 pm until close. Check them out, drink a hurricane, and request your favorite songs during this jam session.

Love this bar! Their hurricanes are a great go to but they also have a full bar. It's a good place to go hang out before the Preservation Hall.

The Ultimate Bourbon Street Bucket List
kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini) I know, I know, Bourbon Street is touristy. That being said, I live two blocks away from this iconic New Orleans stretch featured on everything from the show “Bar Rescue” to the film “Girl’s Trip”. Love it or hate it, if you’re visiting the city you must spend a night on Bourbon to see what all the talk is about. I’ve now been to every single establishment lining the strip (no exaggeration) and can share some of the most quintessential things to do at this 14-block-long frat party. This Bucket List is also in order starting from the Canal Street corner.The 10 Best Concerts, Shows, and Venues in New Orleans
kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini) It’s impossible to be bored in New Orleans. There’s always something to do, and if you don’t have set plans you can just walk outside and find something. Live music is everywhere from bars lining Bourbon to quiet streets by the riverbend. You don’t need concert or event tickets to have a good time, but if you're looking for a show New Orleans has plenty of established performances to check out ranging from seasoned jazz bands to burlesque drag queens.New Orleans Favorites
