The "Bar Guide" that appears in today's Lagniappe section is replete with frat bars, tourist traps, hotel bars, and yuppie hives. I can find one... maybe two.. places on this list that I'd be caught dead in. But even those (The Balcony Bar, for example) seem to be included because they attract a "professional" crowd during happy hour.
Everyone knows the bars worth spending your money in in New Orleans are the dirty dives that stay open late and attract a mix of service industry workers, random street people, and tourists who don't feel like singing karaoke. There are plenty of these places in New Orleans. But the T-P wants to make sure you visit the Ritz-Carlton first, I suppose.
