Click your heels three times and
you’ll land on this great and powerful
dance floor. It may not be one
of the biggest, but it is definitely
one of the best in the French
Quarter. But don’t be a size queen;
you’re sure to find some of the hottest
boys dancing on top of the bar
and some pretty cute ones on the
dance floor as well.
Parade

Upstairs from The Bourbon Pub,
you’ll find the longest continuously
operating gay nightclub in the
country. For over 34 years, Parade has
been serving it up with amazing lights
and sound and big-name DJs. This place
gets packed on the weekends, so if you
don’t want to be pressed up against a
bunch of hot, sweaty boys, maybe you
shouldn’t be gay.
