Got a few days in the Big Easy this week...starting it off with dinner at the chefs bar at Nola's. Gonna try to get into K Paul's too. And will definitely hit the Gumbo Shop and will try to make it to Mother's for a shrimp PO' boy
Holy crap. I lived in New Orleans for a while and we all used to go to Lafites in exile. Gay club in the quarter. Lots of fun and lots of straight women.Btw, if you've never been to preservation hall... Go! Lafeets(sp). I can't spell in French lol. Oldest gay bar in the states but it's no longer a gay bar- not that there's anything wrong with that. Super dark, great music, like stepping back in time.
Yes I've been to exile too- great place for a guy like me to get a few free drinks. They're both good bars for sure. My wife and I spent half of a night talking to people in the exile bar.Holy crap.

Lafeets is/was the gay bar. Since it's also the oldest bar in America (or something like that) the city made them move down the street. Hence there is an exile bar.And I've been to preservation hall...never would have guessed it to be a gay bar
