Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar
Liquor Lab
L.A. Jackson
Consider this the easiest, most snackable way to celebrate: Bagelshop teamed up with The Gumbo Bros for a King Cake Schmear. A fun take on the classic king cake flavor featuring a cinnamon–brown sugar swirl, tri-colored Mardi Gras sprinkles, a touch of lemon zest, and just enough salt to balance it all out. Pro tip: order it on a French toast bagel and call it your Fat Tuesday breakfast of champions.
Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar
If your ideal Mardi Gras involves live music, beads, and a packed dance floor, Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar is the place to be. Expect all-day live music, Louisiana-inspired food specials, drink deals, giveaways, and plenty of Big Easy energy inside historic Printers Alley. Come dressed for the occasion, this spot fully commits to the Carnival spirit.
Head to the rooftop for Mardi Gras with a view at L.A. Jackson, celebrating Fat Tuesday from 5 p.m. to midnight with NOLA-inspired food and drink specials alongside the regular menu. Think gumbo, shrimp po’ boys, and boudin balls, paired with festive cocktails like the LAJ French 75, Hand Grenade, and Vieux Carré.
For a hands-on way to celebrate, Liquor Lab’s Mardi Gras cocktail classes bring the spirit of Bourbon Street straight behind the bar. Guided by expert mixologists, guests craft bold, colorful cocktails inspired by New Orleans while learning the history behind these classic drinks.
Celebrate Fat Tuesday the New Orleans way at Rudy’s Jazz Room with The Crescent City Hoodoo All-Stars Mardi Gras Celebration. Along with live jazz that sets the tone for the night, guests can enjoy drink specials and authentic NOLA cuisine, including Chef Braden’s jambalaya, chicken-andouille-and-shrimp gumbo, red beans and rice, king cake, and beignets.
