"... a band of assassins... cut down the upstart and the harem girls he had 'defiled' "
- The Times-Picayune, 1979
Bars
Lafitte`s Blacksmith Shop, 941 Bourbon St. Schon wieder eine „oldest bar in the US.“ Gehörte dem Piraten Jean Lafitte, der das Gebäude als Lagerraum für seine Kaperbeute verwendet haben soll. Heute schaut man bei jedem Knarzen im Gebälk ängstlich nach oben (wobei man nicht viel sieht: Es gibt nur eine einzige Glühbirne hinter der Bar und ein paar Kerzen) und erwartet das Eintreffen der Bauaufsicht oder zumindest eines Heimwerkerverbandes. Trotzdem: Ist schon ziemlich romantisch in diesem Hexenhäuschen.
Turtle Bay, 1119 Decatur St. Granted, a name like „Turtle Bay“ doesn´t exactly scream „Gothasfuck!“., but this is currently my favorite of the lower Decatur Street goth-friendly bar trilogy (the other two being the Hideout and Molly`s at the Market, listed below). Why? Several Reasons: they have a great selection of both beer & cider on tap, the place isn´t usually overly crowded, and Turtle Bay is reasonably clean for a Decatur Street bar. (meaning I´ve not yet had to do the cockroach stomp.)... and did I mention the wide selection of cider?)
The Hideout, 1207 Decatur St. One of New Orleans seediest bars. (this may even be it´s official title...). Located in the lower quarter, The Hideout is down the street from the Crystal as well as several other gothfriendly bars, making it a convenient place to go for a drink before, after, and during the clubs, or a pit stop along your evening of bar crawling. The drinks are very cheap, the people are... interesting, but the bathroms are frightening.
Molly`s at the Market, 1107 Decatur St. Hier trägt die lokale Presse ihre Nachrichten zusammen. Eine lange Theke, ein paar Barhocker, Zeitungen. Mehr nicht. Reicht ja auch.
