800 Lesseps St
New Orleans, LA 70117
Located in the vibrant Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, Vaughan's Lounge is hailed as the king of dive bars in the area. With its faded exterior and original fixtures, this family-owned institution offers an authentic and beloved dive bar experience. Just a stone's throw away from the more touristy parts of the city, the Bywater is a hidden gem that boasts a string of lowkey, neighborhood dives, making it a perfect breeding ground for local, authentic drinking establishments. From Vaughan's Lounge to Bar Redux, BJ's Lounge, J J's Sports Lounge, and The Joint, the Bywater is a must-visit destination for those seeking the best dive bar scene in New Orleans.
