About this place Bourbon Pub & Parade

Bourbon Pub & Parade, 801 Bourbon Street on the St Ann corner opposite Oz, anchors the French Quarter’s gay‑nightlife corridor. The ground floor is the Pub, a 24‑hour video bar where screens flicker over a long counter. It’s the kind of place you can slip into at 2 a.m. and still find a seat at the bar. Upstairs, Parade turns the space into a dance club. DJs spin from a balcony that looks down onto Bourbon Street, and the crowd swells on weekends and during Southern Decadence or Mardi Gras. The Pub never shuts, while Parade opens late and usually charges a cover on busy nights. Drinks sit at mid‑range, and the go‑cups let you drift between here and Oz without missing a beat.

Was one of the greatest pubs I visited over Mardi gras weekend. Music was amazing, drinks were good and energy was up.

Ducked in during a rainstorm. Great bartender(Fernando?) was quick to get our drinks and wished we would have stayed a bit longer. Will return! 👍

Fantastic place!!! Great energy and wonderful staff. Saturday they had dancers on the bar. Monday no dancers but a lovely bartender named Ky, who has worked here for 7 years. Nothing but praise for the owners and this sweet spot.

Drinks are double the price here compared to any other dive in the Quarter. Hard pass on this one.
