The Jimmy Buffett association and the club's site, next to the French Market, draw a predominantly tourist crowd, but this is a good place for an afternoon break when touring the French Quarter. Open 2pm-4am daily. Despite the bar's location in the French Quarter, it manages to accommodate a regular local crowd as well as tourists, probably because there is free live music nightly. A small bar at the front leads to small tables and a pool table at the back, with the stage along the back wall. Paintings and photos of Irish and Irish-American musicians adorn the walls and ceiling.
Bartenders expect a one-drink minimum when a band is playing.
Open noon-3am daily. A large complex housing three bars, a small courtyard and a giftshop, it offers a wide selection of British, Irish and Scottish beers and stouts, a number of Irish and Scotch whiskies and Irish food. Traditional Irish ballads are performed for dancers at 8pm in the Informer Room, while the larger Ballad Room features Irish bands later in the evening. On crowded weekend nights the Aengus Lounge, above and looking down on the Ballad Room, is opened for customers or private parties. Open noon-3am daily.
