Little Bar on Gravier is a charming dive bar on an unassumingly quiet street in the heart of New Orleans. They serve budget-friendly, excellent cocktails and provide impeccable service from a welcoming crew.

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar is (as its name implies) located in a former blacksmith's shop and safe house for smugglers during the 1800s. It boasts of having survived the fire that burned down the French Quarter in the late 1800s and being the oldest building to house a bar in the United States. In the back of the bar, a musician plays a grand piano and croons through drunken sing-a-longs like Piano Man and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. The bar has reasonably priced drinks compared to many of its Bourbon Street counterparts and is the best bet on Bourbon Street if your feet are tired from walking and you have had your fill of raucous mayhem.
New Orleans is the place of blues and jazz and all that razzmatazz. At this barbecue lounge there is a lot of scope for visitors to enjoy both. The neatly grilled barbecue chops in vinegar sauce or the steaks dunked in spicy hot mustard sauce go well with the ales. After all these gastronomic antics, you can play ping-pong and work the extra calories off. The live jazz lingers long after you've left the Vaughn Lounge.
An easy-breezy and unpretentious place, Rusty Nail is one of those spots one can actually unwind after a long day at work or simply come here to enjoy the music and ambiance.

Sit outside and try their signature Rusty Nail cocktail or something from their vast scotch collection.
