For fans of OSU who are coming to new orleans... Dec 06, 2007 | 10:57AM-Edit | Delete
If you are planning on visiting New Orleans for the NC game on January 7 Here is a list of some of the bars/nightclubs you may want to checkout before the big game.
Pat O'Brians- 718 Saint Peter St. in the French Quarter- This bar is a real nice place. It's also the home of one of the most famous alcoholic drinks in the city, the Hurricane. I suggest you try one but not to many or you'll be knocked out drunk somewhere in an alley and miss the game. That would be just horrible, or maybe a good thing if the Tigers skull drag the Buckeyes.
Crescent City Brewhouse- 527 Decatur st. in the French Quarter-The Crescent City Brewhouse is one of New Orleans' premier restaurants and the only French Quarter microbrewery.
The atmosphere at the Crescent City Brewhouse is warm, relaxed and festive with LIVE JAZZ performed nightly by local musicians ... and monthly exhibits of local art to compliment your total Brewhouse experience! This is for those who may like a more relaxed atmosphere. That is if they'll be such a thing that week.
The Cat's Meow- No it's not a strip club though there is plenty of those in the quarters if that's what your into. This is the most famous Karaoke bar in the world. Even if that's not your type of hype trust me you need to visit this place. I promise you will have a good time laughing at the drunk fools looking like they are auditioning to be the next " American Idol"
Razoo bar and patio-511 bourbon st. some consider this one of the best clubs on Bourbon st. Much like Cats Meow it has Karaoke but also it has live bands. It's also a much bigger place with more room to breath. There is a courtyard Bar with a bright fountain you can gaze at while in a drunken stupor.
Club Ampersands-1100 Tulane ave. This Is my personal Fav. If you like dancing then this is the place to be.Inside the industrial setting of a former Whitney Bank in the Central Business District, Ampersand is a stylish club with an artsy European feel, featuring two levels, large dance floor, VIP Suite, a balcony, courtyard, and several cozy sitting rooms, one of which used to be the bank's vault.
The careful attention to aesthetics, both visual and auditory, offer guests a chance to experience Ampersand's reputation for its seductive and sexy vibe, while listening to the most exclusive global DJ talent rotation New Orleans has to offer. Voted the best dance club in New Orleans. If your a single guy the woman are hot also.
There are many more clubs and bars as that is what the French Quarter is mostly made up of. I'm sure you'll stumble and I do mean stumble into a few places you'll never forget. This is a great city, with a wonderful party atmosphere so enjoy it and please do return someday.
Warning : though this is a party city, please be careful as the Police are not to be fooled with. If you are caught doing things that you should not be like for instance fighting, let's just say you would rather run through hell with gasoline soaked underwear than be thrown in jail here.
As always I wish you a safe trip to the "Big Easy" and enjoy. Good luck to both the Tigers and Buckeyes.
1. The streetcar goes all the way down St. Charles..take it and go back in time.
2. Check out Camiella Grill at St. Charles and Carrollton Ave.--always a New Orleans favorite.
3. The Old Abisinthe House on Bourbon St. is a casual way to take in New Orleans.
4. There is nothing that can compare to Breakfast at Brennans. Get the bloody mary on Sunday morning.
5. Not that they're is anything wrong with it (think of Seinfeld), but only go past the 800 block of Bourbon if you like that sort of thing.
6. Go to the Napoleon House and get the Pimms Cup--trust me on this one.
7. Deanie's on Iberville St. is the best seafood anywhere.
8. Gordon Biersch in the Harrah's Casino complex has the best in-house beer sampler around. The sampler is free and you choose your brew.
9. Don't breathe in when you eat beignets at Cafe Du Monde.
10. WRITE THIS DOWN: Don't fall for the "I know where you got your shoes," trick. You "got" them on whatever street you're on--or just say you got them in the Quarter or wherever you are. It's a play on words. You didn't get your shoes where you're from--you "got" them on the street in New Orleans. Get it?
FOR THE LADIES: Only the non-locals show their breasts. Don't fall for that one.
L'AISSEZ LE BON TEMPS ROULER!!! Bienvenue a Nouvelle Orleans!!

I love "your" city! We try to go every other year to visit and we try to go at different times of the year. For those who have never been, go at least one time. You'll have the time of your life. Some of the friendliest people in the world are there.
DaddyFads, No problem and I wish you and the wifey a great time. Goodluck to the bucks but as always Geaux Tigers!!!!!
volfan, We love having you here. This City thrives off tourism. Thanks for the nice comment about our citizen's of this city. We may get drunk a whole lot and spew all kinds of SEC is dominant propaganda at you, but we'll buy you a beer and say we love you all in one breath.
I could spend a lifetime in N'awlins. Last time we went there was a place with a wood painted white sign, black and red lettering, hanging down under the porch eaves on a little short slant street just below where you go to the riverboat ride and medium sized oysters on the hall shell was 3.99 I think. Ate 9 dozen in 3 days. And that didn't include standing in line an hour and 45 minutes at Chef Pauls or Breakfast at Brennans. is Preservation Hall still there?
There is a little ole bar tucked down in the Quarter called Lafittes which was a dump but good to get away from the tourists and kick back and they got 300 year old wood beams in that place.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. appreciated the comment. And funny too.

The perfect breakfast as I see it.
You’re sitting at the table and your son is on the cover of Wheaties, your mistress is on the cover of Playboy, and your wife is on the back of the milk carton.
