We made this place a stop on our celebration of my youngest's 21st birthday pub crawl, and enjoyed our visit and drinks! We went upstairs where we could toss some beads from the balcony and had a great drink and chat with the bartender, who gave us some good ideas on other places to visit. Everyone was friendly, the place felt clean, and the atmosphere was great. Thank you for being part of our evening!

Very fun spot but also very curious on the history of the lantern in the main bar area. It looks very concerning and beetlejuice-

The staff, the vibe, and the drinks were on point. There was something enjoyable for everyone in our group with the pool table, balcony, and tunes.

Visited there and ordered a bloody mary, the bartender stuck his dirty hands in the jar for olives. So gross, walked out and threw in in the garbage.

Spending my 2023 Thanksgiving with my dear queer friends at Cafe Latfitte in Exile during its Wednesday Karaoke Night. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and huge inventory of songs to choose from.

One of the best bloody mary's I've ever had -- it had pickled string beans and chili-stuffed olives. Great no-nonsense place. I wanted a drink at 9am and I got a good one! My kind of place!Wheelchair accessibility: It was at least one sizable step to get in

Otis and Nicolas are amazing. Pour meter on the drinks kinda sucks but beers are nice.

Hands down the best bar in New Orleans! I spent literally every night into the wee hours of the morning here on my recent trip to New Orleans. When I tell you that every need was catered to I'm not exaggerating! The first evening I was there after chatting with Jeremy and Otis the bartenders as well as TJ who works the front door they came to my rescue when a local started harassing me. The three of them were literally my knights in shining armor!! What a historic place, it is iconic in queer history. I have grown quite fond of my three nights in shining armor! In fact I am returning for Thanksgiving to host Thanksgiving Dinner!

It’s a good option for stop by for a drink and enjoy some AC. They also have good area upstairs and outsideI think the biggest complain that restrooms here are absolutely disgusting.
