Inside New Orleans VIP Bar and Club Crawl: Your Best Night in the French Quarter
Select participants and date
The night swells like a second tide along Bourbon Street: neon signs blink, brass leaks out of open doorways, and a small crowd parts as your guide leads you past the line. You don’t wait; you step through. A free shot, a beer special, a quick swerve into a dim room where a DJ drops a beat — this is how the crawl composes the city after dark, one venue at a time.

Adventure Tips
Bring government ID
You must be 21+; photo ID is checked at venues — carry it in a secure pocket.
Wear comfortable shoes
Expect standing, dancing, and walking between venues on uneven sidewalks—closed-toe, supportive shoes help.
Carry small bills and a card
Tip consistently and have cash for quick purchases; many bars accept cards but smaller venues may prefer cash.
Pace your alcohol and hydrate
Alternate alcoholic drinks with water and eat beforehand — you’ll be on your feet for several hours.
