4. Old Absinthe House

FRENCH QUARTER.   A favorite with locals, this popular French Quarter bar makes a great stop after a day of sightseeing. The Old Absinthe House is rich in tradition and its building dates back to1807 when it was first used as a grocery then coffee house. In 1874 a bartender concocted the "Absinthe Frappe," which gained notoriety and changed the coffee house's name. Today the bar attracts both locals and tourists and has a sports bar-like ambiance that even includes a jukebox.   (© 10Best)

I've been going to the Old Absinthe house for more than a decade, during Mardi Gras and many other times. A great bar where you feel comfortable with locals and tourists alike. Great crowd, great staff and right in the heart of the French Quarter. It doesn't get any better than this!
