Pat O'Brien's is a legendary French Quarter bar famous for its Hurricane cocktail and lively courtyard atmosphere with a fountain, live piano music, and dueling pianos. Order the Hurricane, try the fried shrimp or jambalaya, and expect an energetic, fun crowd—just note that drinks run a bit small for the price despite being strong and well-made.
