Bourbon Live 516 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

"Great LI Iced Teas and great music by Kornerstone. Fun times!"

"We had a ton of fun dancing here. The guy on stage was super energetic and had the crowd going wild! The tight security was nice to have as well. Only complaint is pricey drinks.. but it is bourbon street."

"Ummm it is ok if you are into drinking and clubbing. I really enjoyed the folks on the street making their music and people just enjoying themselves. My husband and entered into few places to dance but it is just not my scenery. However, I truly love how everyone got along, danced, laugh, smile and was enjoyed themselves."

"Overall: 3.3/5 We came in because they were advertising free balcony access & no cover charge. It was our first night in New Orleans on Bourbon Street so we wanted to see what it was like on the balcony. We came in and there was a big guy on the stage just dancing and trying to engage the crowd. We ordered a Long Island which was $16 but pretty strong. We went upstairs where the music was different and the dance floor was near empty. We went on the balcony to people watch for awhile but it wasn't anything special. I can understand why you would want to be up there if it's crowded but on a regular day, there's no reason to be up there. There was a sketchy guy who wore a ski mask on the balcony who was looking out into the crowd. I thought he was looking for his next target but we later found out he was security (based on his shirt). Probably wouldn't come back here."

"2019Gras in New Orleans, LA...the World large free party from January 06 to March 06 2019 Mardi Gras in New Orleans, LA. The holiday of Mardi Gras is celebrated in All of Louisiana, including the city of New Orleans. Celebrations are concentrated for about two weeks before and through Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the start of lent in the Western Christiantradition). Usually there is one major parade each day (weather permitting); many days have several large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the Mardi Gras season. In the final week, many events occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities, including parades and balls (some of them masquerade balls). The parades in New Orleans are organized by social clubs known as krewes; most follow the same parade schedule and route each year. The earliest-established krewes were the Mistick Krewe of Comus, the earliest, Rex, the Knights of Momus and the Krewe of Proteus. Several modern "super krewes" are well known for holding large parades and events, such as the Krewe of Endymion (which is best known for naming celebrities as grand marshals for their parades), the Krewe of Bacchus (similarly known for naming celebrities as their Kings), as well as the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club—a predominantly African American krewe. Float riders traditionally toss throws into the crowds. The most common throws are strings of colorful plastic beads, doubloons (aluminum or wooden dollar-sized coins usually impressed with a krewe logo), decorated plastic "throw cups", Moon Pies, and small inexpensive toys, but throws can also include lingerie and more sordid items. Major krewes follow the same parade schedule and route each year. While many tourists center their Carnival season activities on Bourbon Street and in New Orleans and Dauphin, major parades originate in the Uptown and Mid-City districts and follow a route along St. Charles Avenueand Canal Street, on the upriver side of the French Quarter. Mardi Gras day traditionally concludes with the "Meeting of the Courts" between Rex and Comus.[1]"
