About Us

The historical building that is home to Pat O’Brien’s was built in 1791 as a private home and was later purchased by Pat O’Brien. Pat O’Brien ran a speakeasy on St. Peter Street until the repeal of Prohibition. He officially opened Pat O’Brien’s Bar on December 3rd, 1933 and the business moved to the present location at 718 St. Peter Street in 1942.

In 1990, 624 Bourbon Street was purchased primarily as a private event venue.

You’ll experience all of the charm, grace, and conviviality that makes every experience at Pat O’s something dear to your heart.
