Over a year ago Never a boring night at Rawhide! Like Spinal Tap, their dial goes to 11. Ok, 15 sometimes - don’t bring Mom - fun crowd - rowdy

Good spot but been slow lately

Good spot for low key beer and a little fun. Every time I've been in the last couple years it's been slow and not very crowded. Not sure if it's just bad timing or a the new norm but still a good spot. They do have a cover at the door- $5- but it seems like weekends only.

good bar but we careful

This is a fun place to hang out and its very low key and casual. However, in the back, it gets VERY dark. In the bathrooms as well. When it's that dark, things happen. During really busy weekends (southern decadence, mardi gras, Halloween) people come out to Prey. I was pick pocketed at this bar as well as many others. Keep your belongings safe. It gets VERY packed in the back so people are always bumping into one another and grabbing others to get dirty so its hard to tell when someone is grabbing you. just be safe and have a good time!

Dark and seedy, just the way a leather bar should be

This is my favorite gay bar in NOLA. It's dark and seedy, just the way a leather bar should be. The music is always good. The drinks are always potent. And the crowd is always friendly. There's a pool table and machines. My only advice: Be careful on your way to the bathroom. It's super dark and you may get groped along the way.

Whats done in the dark

Not sure where to start with Rawhide. This was another bar my friends and I spent a good portion of our time in during the week stay we had in New Orleans. Drinks are cheap compared to most places and stronger than most places. Considering I was here during Mardi Gras I'm sure it was a bit more crowded than usual but there was always a nice size crowd in the bar including the wed after Mardi Gras ended. half the bar is dimly lit the other half is barely lit and for good reason. Much fun is had in the dark. This place is not for prudes or people easily offended by sexual situations. Just going to the bathroom here will have you venturing into the dark a little and there is no telling what you'll see, feel, or taste along the way. * * *
