If you like to let loose, forget your cares and just have fun; then Bourbon Street in New Orleans is the best place to go. First of all the scenery is remarkable its so historic and unique, nothing like any place i have ever been to. Its probably not the best place to take children but if you would like... more

The first time I went to Bourbon Street was in 1990 while driving from California to Florida.  It seemed like a fun place.  There were a lots of bars with live music - Jazz, Blues, and Rock from 60's 70's and 80's.  I did find it kind of dirty and sort of an “anything goes kind of place” as people... more

There is no doubt this area is highly touristy - probably more so than any bar hopping street that I know of (other than Las Vegas). The majority of people were tourists that we talked to. It is pretty wild on weekends and there are strip clubs and one club that has pictures of sex on the front. Why people... more

If your offended easily... stay home. Bourbon St. is WIDELY known for strip clubs, and drunkeness, so don't be surprised if you decide to take a stroll! I went with my mom and a friend-- it was the most fun I've had in a long time! We started walking at about 4:30 Saturday afternoon and didn't get back to our... more

Our plan was to walk down Bourbon Street one night at dusk. We ended up walking it at least once a day. It seems everything is "right off of" Bourbon St. Don't be afraid to spend some time there, although it does gets rowdier as the night gets later. It's what you make of it. If you don't like what... more

Bourbon Street is disgusting. I had heard that it was pretty bad but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the things that go on right in public view. Naked, pornographic pictures everywhere, Gentleman's club after Gentleman's club. The absolute worst part was the smell. One day on our way to a very nice brunch we had to... more

Bourbon Street is not discrete in the least. In addition to the several low-level bars, Bourbon Street is home to its fair share of topless AND bottomless strip clubs, and they advertise with completely naked pictures on their front windows. For young college co-eds, Bourbon Street may be an ideal getaway, but it is not recommended for an older crowd... more

All the travel books basically tell you to walk Bourbon Street once and then find other places to spend your time. I guess it is like most places in that it is what YOU make of it. We found Bourbon Street a mix of Key West's Duval Street and Amsterdam. If the strip clubs bother you - walk past. If... more
