Michelle AndersonOctober 7, 2015Bartenders are really nice and the place is super cute, sit on the balcony!
- Josh RiveroSeptember 21, 2012They have some of the best bloody Mary's in the city and where I got my start as a bartender. Also the workplace of Aletha...the longest serving bartender on Bourbon St.
Had one drink on our first day in New Orleans, definitely plan to go back! The atmosphere was inviting and the bartenders were friendly.
Some of the best bartenders in the quarter either start here or still work here. Always welcoming.
Adrian PhillipsMay 17, 2015You'll need a key for the ladies to use the bathroom. Friendly service, well priced drinks and a giant urinal to piss in.- Julia ColosimoJuly 23, 2015Hang out on the upstairs balcony. It's quiet and great for people watching.
Daniel LambertMarch 2, 2015Fun place to hang out with friends. Napkin toss on Sunday evening at 9pm is something to remember.- The Neighborhood KornerApril 25, 2020Cafe Lafitte in Exile has been a favorite haunt of all sorts of gay New Orleans characters, from Tennessee Williams to Truman Capote.
Always a good drink at great prices as well as fantastic atmosphere
Brian YamanakaSeptember 12, 2014Definitely come in and say hi to Cody! Great neighborhood bar to unwind.
Make sure you go and see Bristol Palin bartending during the 9 to 5 am shifts. Audrina Patridge also makes guest appearances as a bartender during 1 to 9 pm shifts.
If you need to get away from the noise, try to get upstairs and out onto the patio deck. Unless it's Mardi Gras, almost no one is ever there.
Shawn has a question! !!! Can you repeat it in his good ear??
