Strongest drink I've ever tried in my life. A must do when you're in the French Quarter.

If you can make friends instantaneously, then this is the place for you. My four girlfriends and I spent HOURS listening and singing along to our favorite songs while sipping, what is probably the best drink I have ever had. We made friends with the people sitting around us, very quickly, and were able to loose tracks of 5 hours... More

I had appetizers for my entree...wings which were pretty good and filled my need. My husband had a burger which was good to him. The waiter and bartender were very polite and conversant when invited to speak. Very pleasant. Hurricanes were very good. We each had one with our meal and large glasses of water and had a hurricane to... More

Because it was my first trip to New Orleans, I felt obliged to try a hurricane. One of the guidebooks suggested Pat O'Brien's as the best place to get one, so I nipped in to have one while my wife and I strolled the French Quarter to listen to the street musicians. The place was pretty crowded, but it was... More

I found the food to be ok. Nothing to write home about. I didn't partake in the drinking of the Hurricane but I've been told it was good.

I'm giving Pat O'Briens five stars because you have to go just to say you have been, it has to be on your list of things to do in New Orleans, to sit in their courtyard and chill for a few hours with several lethal Pat O'Briens infamous hurricanes. Its a great place to spend either an afternoon or evening... More

We got there a little early so the Dualing Piano Bar was rather empty. We had their world famous Hurricanes and sat and listened to some really great music. I think Pat O'Briens is a must see!

A New Orleans institution - but can you believe it , smoking is allowed! And right in my favorite place- the piano bar. We sat down for our wonderful experience and the table of three next to us all LIT UP. Horrid!!! I tried to order a Hurricane in a plastic cup to go, but was informed that I had... More

I can't review anything other than the hurricanes, but they are wonderful. Just a couple of these will start the night off on the right foot. The setting is also very nice in the courtyard with the fire/water fountains.
