The area
Address
Neighborhood: French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.

Packed full of charm, camp, passion, and fun, this little shop connected to the Vampire Cafe down on the corner is a consummate delight. The staff was garbed appropriately, and their demeanor (friendly, but withdrawn) was on point. Some of the items were surprisingly expensive, but you'll absolutely find something you want - and maybe even need. I was even able to learn more about the history of the city, other attractions, and share a few smiles, which is always a good use of time and energy.

I know this is what some people are looking for so I'm not giving a "bad" review, but for the others, I just thought you should know. I could feel a very thick, negative energy in this place that I have never felt in the French Quarter. Please be careful exposing yourself to places like this as it can get attached to you. I immediately went to the vampire cafe around the block and I couldn't feel anything comparable there so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just me... Anyways, be careful with spiritual energy. Also, many of the witchcraft shops I went to didn't have this feeling. They may have cast spells on the space or something.

Clever, original art and captivating items all centered on the Vampire theme. Clean, well organized shop with terrific variety and engaging displays of books and jewelry. Keegan established himself as our helpful host in the shop and perfectly embodied the welcoming charm for which vampires are known. This is a quick stop with lots of options for the vampire lore fans in your group.

If you’re a fan of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, you do not want to miss this store and cafe. The shopkeeper Erin showed us a prop from The Vampire Diaries! It was the grave marker from Damon Salvatore with his name and the years 1839-1863. I also bought the first in a series of 4 books by New Orleans writer Alys Arden. There is even a coffin you can stand in and get a pic. It was the most fun we had while in NOLA.

This is a really nice (air conditioned) shop with lots of locally handmade gifts with a vampire/goth theme. The shop keeper is very friendly and had great recommendations on the products they carry. I brought my kids (ages 10 and 11) here and they enjoyed taking a photo in the wooden coffin inside the shop and smelling all the candles and checking out the wares. The shop keeper joked around with my little boy about real vampires coming to the shop and he got a kick out of that! We bought some really nice organic fair trade tea, which I was told is also served at the Vampyre Cafe next door. We'll definitely have to try the cafe next time we're in town.

I’ve NEVER been so utterly creeped out in my life and I can’t even explain how awful it made me feel! I highly recommend you look at the pictures before you go and DO NOT take kids of any age to this horror shop!!

Cute shop that doesn’t feel like a tourist trap, handmade items and lots of books and tarot decks. Was able to buy gifts to bring home for a very reasonable price. Steven, the shop assistant, was great at answering questions and took a lot of time wrapping my items so they would survive the trip home. My favorite shop in the Quarter, can’t wait to return!

There is no not going to this shop when we're in New Orleans. I've been buying (mostly gifts) there for years and a lot of it is locally handmade. Never had a bad experience there and the mask I bought this year (March 2022) has gotten me so many compliments--it's just black with white line and fangs but it says so much. Talking to the staff can get you interesting information, like the vampire-styled bar and how to see/avoid the film crew shooting that night. Didn't have a bite at the cafe next door so maybe next time.

This is a must see stop on your New Orleans journey. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. The selection of items is unique and highlights the talents of local artists, writers, and jewelers. I make sure to stop in each time I visit the city and when I need that little bit of NOLA energy when I am not in town, their commitment to customer service and satisfaction extends to their online store and shipping services. If you are looking to have custom made fangs to complete a costume or release your own inner vampire, you can’t go wrong with Dark Awakenings fangs. Maven Lore is a consummate professional fangsmith who will create the finest set of custom fit fangs to cater to your needs. Five stars for this boutique!

I sit here in Los Angeles, so weary from the forced lockdown, required facemarks & sheer misery to find my mood broken by this terrific store website! In browsing through their array of fun & funky vampire related products, I can always find something great. Going to the market turns lots of heads when I'm wearing my little coffin backpack purchased here and makes me feel like the belle of the ball (or pandemic in this case!). They even have a monthly subscription where you can pick from affordable price points and they'll send you a box of vampire goodies to enjoy. One day I plan on making the trek back to New Orleans and to my favorite store, but for now, it's a" thirst quenching" online experience!

What time is the speakeasy open?

LOL that's what happens when I dictate. That is supposed to be "went out at about" in the 2nd sentence

When does the speakeasy at B. du V. open/close? The store closes at 9
Written June 17, 2018
We never close before 1 am., but if the jazz club is closed under us, then there is no way to get up unless you are a member. Check out Potionslounge on line
Cheers
