500 Chartres St
New Orleans, LA 70130
+1 (504) 524-9752
http://www.napoleonhouse.com
A beloved landmark on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis in New Orleans' French Quarter, the Napoleon House exudes a European charm in keeping with its 200-year history. Although the city's optimistic plot to provide refuge for the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte never quite came to pass, the bar and restaurant that occupy the premises intended for him have carried on, extending a constant welcome to generations of locals and visitors, artists and musicians, and filmmakers and philosophers, in his stead. Remaining true to itself, the deeply patinated walls, uneven tile floors, and old wooden bar, hollowed by countless signature Pimm's Cups, speak to its many decades of service.
