New Orleans Gay Bars
The homosexual scene of New Orleans is centred on its bars and clubs, where people from across the community can come together and enjoy a darkness with friends. The metropolis is home to a legendary live music scene as well so you can expect loud gigs and wild dancefloors alongside more traditional watering holes. In keeping with the spirit of the municipality, most places are mixed, so LGBTQ+ spaces welcome allies and you can find a sizeable gay crowd wherever you proceed . The best-known bars are in the French Quarter, right next door to the lively Bourbon Street.

I'm staying with a friend for the next ten days in Modern Orleans. I'm queer and she's not, so she's not a great provider of info about the gay bars in her capital. She lives in the Marigny, which I know is near quite a few bars, and I could just try going into them and seeing what there is to see. But maybe you guys will have some insight about a little-known bar, or a night when a particular lock is really enjoyable, or something favor that.
I'm a 24 year elderly guy. I've been to NOLA before but haven't done much in the way of homosexual while I was there. I love laid-back, more neighborhood-y bars. I also like bear bars. Not a great fan of clubs.
Thanks in advance!
