The Most Beloved Bar in New Orleans Is Still the Real Deal

From Mardi Gras to second lines, New Orleans knows how to let the good times roll.

That architectural charm and character are what Elizabeth Rourke — a native of Cincinnati and an assistant professor of Clinical Urology at LSU New Orleans — was looking for when she moved to the city five years ago.
