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.

What travellers are saying
- vivian_CR14Heredia, Costa Rica31 contributionsThe drinks are good and the music is great. I highly recommend to spend some time in the Cat - we visited (my husband, my friend and I) 3 days ago.
Except for the lady bartender who was apparently annoyed because of my friend and I speaking in Spanish (we speak English with the rest of the people but it's more comfortable to speak in Spanish between us) , everything else was great.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They make them the way they are supposed to be - no sugary mix (like PO'B)...just booze, booze and more booze! I was in NOLA for work and we had people coming in throughout the week - with each new arrival, we'd bring them to Lafitte's for a legit Hurricane. Everyone loved the drinks, the building and the history of the place.
Also, the Voodoo Juice (purple drink) was delicious and deadly!Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TravelEnthusiast261 contributionsWe had heard this place as it’s billed as the oldest operating jazz club in New Orleans. Heard it was hard to get into so we made a point of stopping by late afternoon rather than evening. We were so glad we did. It was an awesome experience with a very cool vibe, great set up for the musicians and seating as well as fantastic drinks. The musicians were wonderful. Most enjoyable!Written 14 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TBNew York City, NY3 contributionsCame here for a set on the first night of our honeymoon and really enjoyed it. Located in the middle of everything on Bourbon street it was a perfect way to spend an hour and see some Nola jazz.Written 14 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lederhosen64Huntsville, AL62 contributionsWe visited on Friday 2/25, had a great time, and enjoyed our Frozen Irish coffees.
The bartender was very welcoming & friendly. A fun, clean atmosphere. Glad we went....Written 26 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- melcat91110 contributionsWe dropped in for a bit to watch the Jump Hounds. Very entertaining band - try to catch them if you can. The bar set up is okay and allows for a good view of the stage anywhere. But there are only a new tables and chairs so most of the audience is standing by the bar. The two doors are open to the street so you can probably watch from there, too. Just make sure you grab a drink.Written 18 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TimeTraveler0123_10New York City, NY338 contributionsA quieter spot amongst the craziness of Bourbon Street. Slip in here and have a drink in the courtyard for a break in the action.Written 18 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kek7710Harrisburg, PA28 contributionsGreat evening of family fun.... Unknown treasurer of New Orleans....

- J EFredericksburg, VA8,586 contributionsThis is a really nice bar which is energetic, yet upscale and composed and offers the great décor… the only issue is it’s one of the only “true” cocktail bars within a ½ mile of this part of NOLA. There is a speakeasy across the street, but for a bar that’s open all the time does something unique and truly serves TRUE COCKTAILS – this is it! They even have the Ramos Gin Fizz on the menu!!
We came here twice in one night recently… the first time, they were literally standing room only as they were so packed! So, we left, went elsewhere, where the vibe was poor and after about 45 mins we came back and scored a couple of seats at the bar, which was great, because we got to watch the bartender toss/flip glasses when making the Sazerac. The drinks were incredible and so was the vibe!
Highly recommend this bar, if you’re into “true cocktails” and no just the typical Captain & Coke, etc type drinks.Written 18 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But drink with caution!Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Leslie AdamsDeming, NM3 contributionsGreat place with great staff! We came on our pub crawl with Pandi!

- Nick3 contributionsThis past Friday, I made a great call and took my girlfriend out for 73 Distillery's Tour, Tasting, and Cocktail Class, and all I can say is, go check this place out because I already know it's going to be packed every night of the week soon.
Shout out to the Seven Three Ambassadors, Rene, and Kristen (rockstars) for making this a great experience for us. My girlfriend and Rene got me to give gin another shot after a 20-year hiatus, and I can honestly say their Gentilly Gin made me a believer. That and the Bywater Bourbon are definitely going to be my go-to gifts this Christmas.Written 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
