New Orleans Gay Bars

The gay scene of New Orleans is centred on its bars and clubs, where people from across the people can come together and enjoy a night with friends. The city is home to a legendary live melody scene as skillfully so you can expect loud gigs and wild dancefloors alongside more traditional watering holes. In keeping with the spirit of the city, most places are mixed, so LGBTQ+ spaces welcome allies and you can find a sizeable queer crowd wherever you move. The best-known bars are in the French Quarter, right next door to the lively Bourbon Street.

Tell me about gay bars in New Orleans.


I'm staying with a friend for the next ten days in Modern Orleans. I'm gay and she's not, so she's not a great source of info about the gay bars in her city. She lives in the Marigny, which I know is near quite a few bars, and I could just endeavor going into them and seeing what there is to observe. But maybe you guys will have some insight about a little-known bar, or a darkness when a particular bar is really fun, or something favor that.

I'm a 24 year old guy. I've been to NOLA before but haven't done much in the way of gay while I was there. I like laid-back, more neighborhood-y bars. I also like bear bars. Not a big fan of clubs.

Thanks in advance!
