About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Fri, Sat, Sun

Where else can you walk in at 2:30 pm and find a man in school girl drag, another in a green leaf hat with 'GO GREEN' on her butt, and a third in a leather kilt with a blue mohawk? That's a typical afternoon at Voodoo Lounge, a small LGBTQ+-owned dive bar in the French Quarter. Open 24 hours a day, it pulls a mixed-age crowd from 18 up to forty-somethings, with a relaxed, social vibe that makes everyone feel at home.

Happy hour is a draw, and the full bar keeps regulars coming back. Friday through Sunday are the busiest nights. The smoking area out back is where conversations drift into the absurd. You'll never be bored, but you'll always be welcome.

Located in the French Quarter near Orleans Street, steps from other gay bars like Oz and The Saint.

From the community

“TRUELY Decadence 2010”

This bar is amazing. Where else can you walk in at 2:30 in the afternoon and see a man in a schoolgirl outfit, another person with a green leaf hat and a dress that says 'GO GREEN' on the back, and a third guy with a blue mohawk, rhinestones on his head, and a leather kilt. The atmosphere is wildly entertaining and totally unique.
