Finally, one cannot forget to mention the famed Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. My friends and I walked past it one evening and made a mental note to stop back, not knowing it was well-known as one of the oldest bars in the country. The place looks as old as it must be, with dim lighting and many little candles twinkling around the tables and piano that always seemed to be in use. I went back on my last night and enjoyed a drink while chatting with fellow travelers and listening to the live music of someone banging on the piano while customers sang and shouted along.
