This is must see place even if you don't dine there; at least have a hurricane or their margaritas are to die for. My favorites are seafood gumbo and cajun catfish.

Pat O'Brien's is an iconic location in New Orleans and is definitely recommend by locals and visitors as a must-go place. From what I understand, the Hurricane drink was invented here and they do make a pretty good one. Enjoy!

I thought if one of Pat O's famous hurricanes was good, two would be better. That's accurate if you want to be pretty near obliterated for the rest of the evening. I'm not sure what magic goes into those things, but there's no doubt: they are mighty potent. Pat's is located in the heart of the French Quarter, and has... More

This was a fun place to hang out, sing along with the piano players, have a couple drinks and people watch. Crowded but pretty well organized for getting a seat - had a good time!

They know how to help you celebrate a life event. Thanks to Jan in the Piano bar. Drinks were reasonably priced.

The food was pretty good but our waitress was more interested in other things than waiting on the whole two tables seated in the place. The sampler was good & the burger was great.

The hurricanes are cold and tasty and more than one will give you quite a buzz. If you are not keeping the collectible hurricane glass, make sure you ask for your deposit back. People tell me you may get $3 (perhaps others have addressed this already) ... I kept my glass so I don't know. Considering 90% of everyone in... More

Title says it all. The piano players were very good, everyone having a good time but the drinks were not what we expected. They seemed to be very watered down.

We went on Sunday night(read "slow night") when it wasn't that busy (around 8:30) for dinner. 4 people asking for a table in the courtyard for dinner and we were told by the hostess and the manager at the door that there was a 30 minute wait. We were given the option of having a drink in the small bar... More
