Bourbon Pub/Parade

The Bourbon Pub / Parade is New Orleans’ largest gay nightclub. Operating continuously since 1974, it is the epicenter of the New Orleans gay and lesbian community, and is located at the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets. The club is actually two venues under one roof. The Bourbon Pub video bar is located downstairs and features 100% digital state-of-the-art HDTV video and audio. Recently described as “the most influential video bar in the country” by Creative Video Consulting (which is the Billboard of music video), the Bourbon Pub is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Located upstairs, the Parade is New Orleans’ leading gay dance club. It has been named the “Best Dance Club in New Orleans” for the past nine years by Gambit Weekly, New Orleans’ most popular entertainment magazine. The award-winning digital sound system and light show were designed and fine-tuned by some of the world’s leading and most respected technicians. It has twice been named “National Nightclub of the Year” by Dance Music Authority magazine, and recently received the coveted Zagat Nightlife Award of Excellence.
