Golden Lantern

New Orleans
Gay Bar
$$$$

Widely accepted as the birth place of Southern Decadence, the biggest gay pride celebration in New Orleans, Golden Lantern Bar is known around town for showing its variety of guests a great time. Inclusivity is key here so between the drag shows, the warm welcome for your four-legged friends, and the fact that it’s literally open all day and all night, you don’t have to love dancing up a storm to enjoy yourself. There are also a lot of great, strong cocktails on the menu like the famous Bloody Mary loaded with all sorts of pickles and peppers.
