Historic Candlelit Live music Pirate lore Haunted
Tucked at 941 Bourbon Street, this candlelit bar is housed in a building dating back to the 1720s, making it one of New Orleans' oldest structures. Once a blacksmith shop, it's now a cozy spot where patrons sip cocktails under low ceilings and exposed brick. The bar's dimly lit rooms, adorned with exposed brick and low ceilings, exude a rustic charm. Live piano music often fills the back room, adding to the lively atmosphere. The building's storied past includes legends of pirate Jean Lafitte and his brother Pierre using it as a base for their smuggling operations in the late 18th century. Some visitors even claim the place is haunted, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this historic watering hole.
