Kajun’s Pub

Faubourg Marigny & Bywater


Kajun’s is guaranteed for a good cast of characters. This bar is technically a live-music venue too…if you count karaoke as live music. In any case, the karaoke is awesome (sometimes awesomely bad, sometimes surprisingly good) and the beer flows 24/7. Many people pass a night here, stumble into the morning light and wonder what they've done with their lives.
