About this place The Silver Fox

Rawhide on Burgundy Street is the French Quarter's leather bar — a long-running venue in the tradition of the classic American leather bar that has maintained its identity and culture through the full range of changes in the gay nightlife landscape. The bar operates on Burgundy Street, one block from Bourbon, in a French Quarter building that has the compressed, low-ceilinged intimacy characteristic of the neighbourhood's commercial architecture. The format is the established one of the leather bar: a welcoming environment for the leather, Levi's, and bear communities, with a culture of dress codes that apply particularly on themed nights, a darkroom for those who want it, and an atmosphere calibrated for cruise rather than performance. Rawhide has been in continuous operation long enough to have accumulated the community memory and regular clientele that make a leather bar more than its physical fixtures. For leather and bear visitors to New Orleans, Rawhide is the correct address — the French Quarter location makes it easy to incorporate into an evening that also includes the Bourbon Street clubs, and the Burgundy Street setting is slightly quieter than the main tourist artery while remaining entirely within the French Quarter's walkable geography.

The main draw of this place seems to be the backroom experience. Otherwise youll get tired quickly. The pour is fairly weak compared to other places. The staff is sweet but you didnt come to a bar to chat and fill up on cranberry juice.....or maybe you did. Idk.

The bartender’s attitude was unprofessional and made the visit uncomfortable. I felt dismissed instead of welcomed, and the service was not what I’d expect from this place. I would not return based on this experience.

Amazing dive bar with the most friendly and kind bartenders (shoutout to Lance!) who really made me feel welcomed and safe during my stay in New Orleans. The bar can get loud, and is not for the faint-hearted, but can be a lot of fun if you're open to it. No food, and card payment only, but it works well.

If I could rate a bartender personally I would because who ever was working there Saturday morning around 3am on may 9th was a prick trying to hassle us about a one drink minimum and yelling at my 5’1 friend who is a woman btw and didn’t even bother to ask if we got a drink earlier (we did) sir it’s never the CUSTOMERS fault that ppl rather take “backshots” in the back instead of purchasing one from you and with that mug and attitude you shouldn’t even wonder why 👌🏽
