Drinks & Nightlife
Le Bon Temps is as classic as they come when we're talking about the city’s watering holes, with pool tables and a decent sandwich bar. The bar has live music every night, and the city’s beloved brass band The Soul Rebels has a weekly residency that draws locals for a contagiously fun evening. We love the bar’s Bloody Mary, which is packed with produce and served in a plastic cup.
