After 31 trips to New Orleans and literally hundreds of visits to Pat O'Brien's, I can say this place is as advertised. Yes, it is touristy. Yes, it is well located. But what you see is what you get. There are stronger drinks, tastier drinks, cheaper drinks in the French Quarter. Pat O'Brien's has that certain atmosphere that brings people together from various cities. The glasses make great (and cheap) souvenirs.
Pros: As advertised, Consistent, Flavorful
Cons: Unoffensive, Varied crowd
