Travel back in time at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the oldest bar in the country! But this isn't your ordinary haunt: Lafitte's is heralded as one of the coolest watering holes around and featured on countless "Best Bars" lists including Time Out and Maxim magazine. While there's some debate as to whether it really was the first establishment to sling drinks, we do know that the structure was built back in 1722. Upon opening, the bar was owned and operated by the famous Pirate Jean Lafitte, where it would function as a blacksmith shop by day and smuggling operation by night.Today, tourists are lured to Lafitte's for the history and haunted tales yore, while locals come for the infamous Purple Drink (also known as the Voodoo Daiquiri). It's a great place to hang out during the day with the doors always open, but the charm and mystery really come alive once the sun sets, when the bar is lit only by candlelight and the piano man plays in the background.
