Bourbon Pub
801 Bourbon St., 529-2107
Booze downstairs, bop upstairs at this venerable house of dance and music video. Tuesday is lesbian night (with drag kings!).
Rubyfruit Jungle
1135 Decatur St., 373-5431
New Orleans' lesbians got their own bar again when Rubyfruit opened earlier this year on Lower Decatur Street.
Café Lafitte in Exile
901 Bourbon St., 522-8397
Open 24/7, Lafitte's has a great balcony, hi-def video and packs 'em in for Sunday "trash disco."
John Paul's
940 Elysian Fields Ave., 948-1888
Bears, drag queens, lesbians and straight folks make this club fun. Did you know about the tiny candelit bar upstairs (open weekends only)?
Big Daddy's
2513 Royal St., 948-6288
Part friendly Marigny neighborhood bar, part live-action John Waters film, always a good time.
AllWays Lounge
2240 St. Claude Ave., 218-5778
The name of this Marigny Theatre adjunct has changed, but it'll always be Cowpokes to the guy in assless chaps sipping PBR at the bar.
