Nestled at 1239 Royal St in the heart of the French Quarter, Golden Lantern Bar is a storied neighborhood venue and LGBTQ+ landmark where New Orleans’ nightlife feels up close and personal. The intimate room, friendly bartenders and lively stage make it a go-to for drag revues, cabaret, karaoke and special event takeovers. Locals know it as the longtime home of the Southern Decadence kickoff, which captures the bar’s signature mix of tradition, creativity and irreverent fun.
Expect a cozy space with limited seating and plenty of standing room, which puts you just steps from the performers and the punchlines. Sightlines are best when you arrive early, and the compact layout means the energy never lets up. The calendar blends beloved regulars with guest appearances around festival weekends, and the bar program keeps the party moving with classic cocktails and local favorites. Its Royal Street address is walkable from anywhere in the Quarter, with easy access to rideshare hubs and nearby parking garages.
