Pirate's Alley Cafe — Restaurant in New Orleans

Did not have any food here ... I stopped for drinks, a place to rest & a bathroom. Clean bathroom. Super friendly & sweet barmaid. It was Halloween... She was dressed as the green fairy (so precious), I had to try the absinthe which was a new experience for me. Totally unique... Very minty, licorice flavor & HEAVY ETOH, 130 proof! It's a sipper! I think it would have been better with a few cubes of ice. Next time, I'll ask for rocks with my absinthe. There were multiple varieties of absinthe to choose from.

Walking tours visit this place in Pirate's Alley, as there is great historical value here. The quaint slate streets & old architecture lend the whole experience to be a multi-sensory experience.

Though if one of the staff members is going to be rude to me for no reason, I will NEVER come back here. Plus I will warn everyone I know to not visit this bar.

It's very sad to 1 star this place, since this place looks very inviting when you pass by. Just beware the male bartender and bouncer is really rude, and alone is why you shouldn't go to this bar. Finally if you're looking for absinthe, there are other bars within a few blocks serving this like Bourbon 'O' Bar, and...

One of the most historic locations in New Orleans - and the only place in the US where Church, State & Alcohol are on the same corner. Runs between St. Louis Cathedral and The Cabildo Museum - originally called "Orleans Alley", often referred to (and later officially changed) as "Pirates Alley" for the Laffite Brothers & other Pyrates who were briefly jailed in the Calaboso (originally located at the junction of Pirates Alley and Cabildo Alley). Home to the Faulkner Society Bookstore (below the apratment where Faulkner wrote some well known texts) and Pirates Alley Café & Old Absinthe House - great spot for a drink, some history...and ye may run in to a...
