The VooDoo Lounge is more than just a 24-hour dive bar. Directed by the former owners of Flanagan’s Pub, VooDoo is a meeting point both for tourists embarking on a French Quarter Phantom tour and for locals taking advantage of the joint’s revolving whiskey and scotch selections or events like drag shows and dance parties. You won’t find craft cocktails here; bartenders are much more interested in serving you a straight spirit that has the integrity to stand alone.
