• Originally a quiet residential street, Bourbon Street (French: Rue des
Bourbon) was populated first by jazz clubs, and then by some of the
more risqué establishments that have earned it an infamous reputa-
tion.
• Extends 13 blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue and is in
the heart of New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French
Quarter.
• What you'll find: traditional jazz clubs, strip joints, restaurants, bars of every type and
souvenir shops. Popular bars include Pat O'Brien's, Johnny White's, The Famous Door,
Spirits on Bourbon, Razzoo and The Cats Meow. Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo is
located on the corner of St Ann.
• Contrary to popular opinion, Bourbon Street is not named after the Kentucky whisky.
When the city was founded, it was named after the French Royal Family, the "House
of Bourbon," which produced a number of French kings, including Louis XIV.
• Though largely quiet during the day, Bourbon Street comes alive at night. They say the
party literally never stops on Bourbon Street. Local open container laws in the French
Quarter allow drinking alcoholic beverages in the street.
