Mag's 940
Country Western · Dancing · New Orleans, LA
About
Mag's 940 operates with flexible hours, often as an after-hours spot that fits late into the night. This bar is part of a bed and breakfast guesthouse, so expect a mix of hospitality and adult entertainment: drag shows, circus acts, karaoke, and dancing keep the energy high.
The crowd leans toward bears and the 30s-40s set, with a country-western vibe that sets it apart from the Quarter's standard gay bars. There's a pool table and a smoking area outside. Nearby venues like The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret offer additional options for a longer night.
Located in New Orleans' Marigny neighborhood, near N Rampart and a short walk from the French Quarter.

Nice spot, but it's often empty. They should work on attracting more people from other parts of the city.

“Great Hangout”
My trip to New Orleans was wonderful, and the best moments all took place at John Paul's. Whenever I wanted a break from the Quarter, I'd stop in for a drink and meet friendly (and attractive) locals. The bartender — a real charmer — was very entertaining, witty, and paid great attention to everyone. Thanks, John Paul's; I'll return in April.

“Paul is a fake”
As a business owner, I don't neglect people or let my general manager or others make decisions for me. Even with a disability, I don't let it affect my business. If I promise someone a refund after three days, I deliver, not film a movie or ignore them. If someone pays upfront and leaves early, I take care of them honestly. The bartender needs to realize he's not all-powerful and that he's harming my business and reputation.

“great club”
This year I spent more time here and found it very welcoming and friendly. I saw two drag shows, both benefits, and both were excellent and enjoyable. The crowd is very nice.
