The Best Place You've Never Been!
We hear it all the time: “I always pass by that place and think about stopping in.” Does that sound like you? Well, think about it no more.
On the Border of the Quarter since 1939, Buffa’s Bar & Restaurant is the quintessential New Orleans style neighborhood bar. We're open 11AM to 1AM seven days a week!
Our Virtual Tip Jar!
Show our musicians how much you enjoy watching them on our web cam! Drop a Lincoln or two in our virtual tip jar! We'll see they not only get the tip, but that they know who it's from (unless you tell us not to).
