pat o’brien’s

great drinks and friendly people. we intended to duck into pat o'briens to grab a hurricane to go to hold us over while we stood in line at acme oyster. it was a beautiful evening and the patio was inviting. we decided to have our drink on the patio by the fountain and everyone there was very friendly and we ended up staying there the rest of the evening. the drinks are good, the bartenders are not stingy with the alcohol in the mixed drinks (yes, they have more than justhurricanesthere) and the service is attentive. i can't rate the food because we never ate there, but just enjoyed the patio, the people and the beverages. laissez les bons temps rouler!

beautiful garden, friendly staff, nice place to chill out.hurricanesare bad ass. after a beautiful afternoon walk, it was really nice to taste delicious cocktails. next time i will try some food too.

favorite spot in nola. food was decent,hurricaneswere delicious, and the atmosphere was top notch! get there early or there will be a line. after 3hurricanesthings start getting a little real.

we love to stop here while strolling down bourbon street during the day.  enjoy thehurricanesand the free, very salty popcorn, (so you drink more) and getting your "fix on," before the night festivities begin.  the happy hour special drink of champagne and cranberry juice goes down very easy and is very refreshing on an afternoon outing.

kid friendly?.hurricaneswere good but not kid friendly since you need to be 21 to enter!

i love this place! the drinks are awesome, the atmosphere is beautiful! the staff is friendly, it is a great place to get away from the madness of bourbon! i refuse to drinkhurricanesanywhere else, and i always take home hurricane mix!

hurricanes. if your looking for a cheap drunk, thehurricanesare certainly strong enough. my wife and i both poured them out because they we're cheaply made and disgustingly sweet.

stronghurricanesand great music at the piano bar

good enough. good location, excellent patio and very friendly staff but unless you enjoy kool-aid with rum,hurricanesare a vastly overrated drink.

food pretty decent,hurricanesstronger than hades.

as a college kid, had my share ofhurricaneshere, and the piano bar is still a popular attraction. they serve food here? i never knew that.... and if you like, yes, you can get your drink in a to-go cup and stumble all the way down bourbon st. drinking. la law allows that!

food's good but drink a hurricane!!!. i always have enjoyed good food at pat o'briens but everyone knows you go for the besthurricanesin the world!!! it is easy to overdo it with these delicious drinks from god!!!

wha??? huh??? no sir ossifer.. i think the first time i went here my wife and i actually ate... but i can't remember because we were out in the courtyard and drinking hurricanes.

the second time i went i was by myself and came for thehurricanesso i'm pretty sure i didn't eat. i did have a long conversation with a local musician at the bar although i can't remember what we talked about.

bottom line... thehurricaneswill get you smashed and i'm pretty sure that's the only reason to patronize this establishment. not a bad reason. but people aren't going here for the food... because most will never remember it.

a final note. after drinking at pat o'briens be very careful as you leave that you turn back down the street toward your hotel. if you don't go the right way you'll stumble right into some rough housing projects. really the last place you want to be while hammered with a pocket full of cash and that glass you had to buy which immediately tags you as a drunken tourist. just a little tip from your uncle rufus.

realhurricanesand decent burgers. ready for a night of music now!
