Bastille

(21 Ratings)
Beautiful, historic, and so very gay!

A beautiful, hand-carved wooden bar built during Prohibition is the anchor of this friendly, relaxed neighborhood gay bar. Quirky decor and multi-colored twinkle lights create a funky and unique atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail and great conversation. This is a fantastic spot to stop during Mardi Gras season!

Museum

You have to go here once if only that. Stay for one drink and take a look around. it is a sight to see for old games and iconic memorabilia on the walls. A small bar with regular customers. Many customers you would have seen earlier at Clementines. Not a twink or make out bar. You can play pool or darts or they have limited bar food. Most everything is fried. Fair priced drinks. Older guys usually, a few straight guys might come in by mistake. Not a looker place. I go if I lose interest in Clementines and I know a couple of people, but mainly to look at the "museum like" scenery.
