That's what I was gonna say, there's so many bars/restaurants that I'd just wonder around and let the wind carry ya. During Mardi Gras, it's gonna be so freakin packed that it'd probably be hard to plan ahead what exact bar you wanna go to, etc, probably just take a look where you can get in. You'll have an awesome time regardless, as mentioned, there's what feels almost like a never-ending amount of bars there.
Only place I'd specifically recommend that I've been to is Patty O'Brien's (restaurant). Awesome Cajun food, and their Hurricane drink is the reason I'm recommending it. A mix of a bunch of different drinks, and so tasty. I was pretty much on my *** after 1.
