About this place Rawhide Lounge (briefly The Silver Fox)

The Silver Fox is a gay bar at 740 Burgundy Street in the French Quarter, one block back from Bourbon. For years this address was Rawhide 2010, a leather and cruise bar. It was renamed the Silver Fox, and the crowd now leans toward older men and the bear and leather set, though the scene here may have changed with the new name. The listed hours run from 18:00 to midnight on weekdays and until 4am on Friday and Saturday, and it opens earlier at the weekend. Drinks are cheap. It's close to the Bourbon Street gay bars, so it's easy to fit into a night in the Quarter. Check before you go if you're expecting the old leather nights.

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 👌🏽
