Tips from the community
Serving up drinks since the 18th century, the walls here are dripping in legend and lore. When you ask a local where to go for a great night on the town, they’ll point you to Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop. Away from the tourist traps of Bourbon Street, this place is a must.
It can be quite difficult to find a spot at the bar, but never fear, the drinks are worth it. Make your way up to the counter and order the notorious “frozen voodoo daiquiri/purple drink” My suggestion: only order one, they’re very potent and sneak up quickly!

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.Best Spots to Eat (and drink) in New Orleans
