Many of the reviews are hitting the high and low points, it's better at night but before all the crazies come out. During they day, the age shows. It's going downhill with several strip clubs now becoming more prominent. It really is cappy and so over rated, rather sad that most people think of this street and mardi gras when... More

Deep in the heart of NOLA's French Quarter, extending 13 blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue sits the world famous Bourbon Street. A melting pot of bars, restaurants and strip clubs, there is never a dull moment to be had. Some musts for when you are their are to indulge in the touristy atmosphere and open container laws with...

We had the best time walking up and down Bourbon Street. We were worried that it was going to have the "ick" of Las Vegas and we were completely wrong! Although it was loud and crazy, it didn't feel out of control. The street performers were amazing and the entire atmosphere was casual and fun. Lot's of people watching and... More

We stayed at courtyard Marriott which was 1 block away from B street. Safe area! Walk to b street one way and Canal St the other way to shop and eat. Bourbon cowboy was a blast with bull riding and a friendly boston bar tender who gave us the low down on where the 3 for 1's were. They have... More

Very interesting street; a must do while in New Orleans, You have a variety of shops, food choices from seafood, creole, cajun, to live music in most of the bars from blues to rock, street performers daily and all in some of the oldest buildings with a french flavor in New Orleans. The sidewalks are cobblestone and you can carry... More

Tourist debaurchery and not much more. Yes, old buildings are nice, but this is just bars with endless shots, drunk youth, and music that has nothing to do with New Orleans. It's like a continuous Spring Break debauchery movie over and over and over. No need to go to NOLA to see this. Just head to Vegas or Florida or... More

Definitely needs a good scrubbing. Better atmosphere and music on Royal and decatur Streets. Bourbon street could use a facelift.

Funky 544 has fabulous music even during the week. The band thursday night had 6 members and tryly talented with age 20-50 dancing! The staff are pushy with the "shots" but easy to say "no thanks". A definite recommend for great jazz!!

Bourbon gets a bad rap, but I love it. You can walk around with a drink. You can listen and dance to great cover bands which I think are highly underrated. You can listed to excellent jazz at Fritzels or blues at the Funky Pirate. You can watch people beg for beads. You can stop in to a strip club... More
