In a city known worldwide for its partying prowess, it's only natural to have some of the best, most beloved bars on the planet. Whether you're into gritty punk clubs, old-school dives, craft cocktail spots, or raucous live music joints, New Orleans has every type of bar imaginable. But in a city that's particularly famous for the iconic cliche of young, wasted women flashing complete strangers for plastic beads, it's also going to attract every type of douchebag imaginable.
