About this place Crossing

Crossing is a gay bar at 439 Dauphine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It averages 4.5 from more than 450 Google reviews, which points to a well-liked local spot rather than a tourist trap. Dauphine runs parallel to Bourbon Street, and the gay bar cluster around Bourbon and St. Ann is a few blocks away, so it fits easily into a bar crawl. Opening hours are not on record here; check the website or social pages before heading over, especially early in the week. As anywhere in the Quarter late at night, stick to busier streets when walking back.

Amazing, kind bartenders and a very easy going establishment. Close to where I was staying and was just a great place to stop in, grab a bite, grab a good drink. Had the boudin balls (great!) and the butter burger (YUMMY) which did all the padding for my drinks I was hoping they would! Very much enjoyed discovering this spot. Expect pub fare and a simple drink selection; great pop and dance music!

Music was great, drinks better, and the burgers the highlight of the visit. We started with mozzarella sticks and jalapeño poppers, which cane out quick and hot. Main course was a regular cheeseburger and the Nacho burger. Both were cooked to perfection and were both tasty and filling. Highly recommend.

Great place for drinks & conversation. Cheap Happy Hour/Good Bar Food . PS. They have a new manager, John Breaux, that has done a LOT to improve it further. He has a very simple formula... come to work on time, don't come to work drunk, do your job.
