The area
Address
Neighbourhood: 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.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My boyfriend does not drink, but I do. We came to Bourbon O on a Saturday night and noticed a sign saying "One drink minimum per set". The place the packed so that was totally reasonable.,I ordered a ramos gin fizz and he ordered a $2 Ginger Ale. The next day we went back, this time much earlier around 4. There was only 6 people in the place (it was very dead) so I ordered a drink at the bar, and found a table to sit at. As I was finishing my drink a woman (the manager I assume) came up to us and asked us if we were staying at the hotel. When I said no, she said "I'm going to need to to buy another drink". There was no music at the time, and the place was almost empty. We got up and left. Plenty of other empty bars that will allow me to have a drink and enjoy my boyfriends company.

Used to be a welcome change and classy bar and good place to hear jazz. Big disappointment now. They have blues music and it's become a rough and tumble crowd. Going way downhill. Sad.

We had a Great time at the Bourbon O! It's a little more fancy than the "Spring break" side of Bourbon St. There was a live band, Jan Marie and the Mean Reds. They were great! Great drinks too! I ordered the Ramos Gin Fizz, and it was fun to watch the automatic shaker! I saw this bar was featured on one of the many cocktail tours, so we decided to go on our own. It was nice to take our time with our drinks and enjoy the atmosphere.

I went to my hotel bar 2 nights in a row for drinks. I had to try the Ramos Gin Fizz just to watch the shaker machine. Very good hurricanes and their Pimms Cup might be my favorite drink. We had a different female bartender each night and both were friendly and, coming from someone who worked in a bar for over a decade, great at their jobs. Loved the place!

By far Rachel is one of the best bartenders not only in the French Quarter but in all of New Orleans!

We were just walking by and decided to check out the entertainment and have a drink. Stephen was our bartender and was wonderful. Had great conversation and after talking to me, made me the best classic daiquiri I have ever had. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and when someone came in smoking, he immediately, politely and professionally told them that smoking was not allowed. We ended up staying their for about 3 hours. We made sure we came back 3 nights later before we left town.

Arrived and checked in at the attached hotel (Bourbon Orleans), which is wonderful. Received a couple of free drink coupons and later on that night decided to check out the bar. Sat at the bar and my husband had the drink coupons on the bar. He ordered a beer and I asked the bartender if I could please have a lemon drop martini with Absolut. His response? "Not with that you're not" referring I suppose to the drink coupons that we had sitting on the bar. Very rude. I don't appreciate that as a customer walking into an establishment expecting to be treated with respect. He could have easily explained that I could certainly have the martini but wouldn't be able to use the coupon..which I didn't even offer to him when I ordered the drink. Obviously a very miserable guy working the bar that night. Not too good for repeat business.

This is what we were looking for!! Great bar, great live music, great atmosphere. Band just starting when we went in so no problem finding a table & getting a drink. After 10 minutes the place was packed because the band were superb.
