About this place Big Daddy's Bar
Big Daddy's holds down the corner of Royal and Franklin in the Marigny, a short stroll from the Frenchmen Street music strip. It is a classic New Orleans corner bar: dim, unpretentious, and open around the clock, with a jukebox, video poker and bartenders who remember faces.
The crowd skews local and queer, with service-industry folks drifting in after shifts and visitors who want a break from Bourbon Street prices. Drinks are strong and inexpensive, and the pace is relaxed rather than cruisy.
Come here when you want conversation over spectacle. It pairs naturally with the Friendly Bar two blocks away and the Phoenix a few minutes on foot toward Elysian Fields.
