Spirits On Bourbon – New Orleans

Spirits on Bourbon is in the heart of the French Quarter on the world-famous Bourbon Street! While it features a huge variety of specialty drinks, our fun and friendly staff will be happy to mix up anything you desire! In the kitchen, our menu boasts local favorites and has become well-known by the locals for our Gumbo!

A stop at Spirits isn’t complete without a shot on Edwards Barber Chair! Why a barber chair? Spirits was formerly owned by Edward DeBoire who was a barber and had a rather successful business here. In true Bourbon Street spirit, he was known for letting his customers enjoy beer (home-made) during their hair cuts! It became known locally as Barber Beer and is still sold today! You’ll love the taste of this ‘beer’ which isn’t beer at all! Unfortunately, the free flowing drinks and beautiful Creole ladies called to Edward in a most unnatural way! He met a rather tragic death at only 33 years old. It is said that his spirit still enjoys our French Quarter night life.
