The John is famous throughout New Orleans for one gloriously weird decision, using toilets for chairs, making this bar impossible to forget. Located at 2040 Burgundy Street in the Marigny neighborhood and open 24 hours every day of the week, The John attracts everyone from curious tourists to locals seeking quintessential New Orleans absurdity. The drinks are strong, served in Mason jars, and inexpensive, making it accessible for extended visits. The bar sits somewhat off the beaten path of Frenchmen Street's main music corridor, making it a good stop while bar crawling to nearby venues like Mimi's in the Marigny or the Country Club. Despite the toilet gimmick, the bar operates seriously as a neighborhood spot where locals actually drink, not just tourists posing for photos. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, celebrating New Orleans' irreverent approach to life. It's the kind of place you'll remember long after leaving, not because of Instagram moments, but because of the genuine strangeness and spirit of New Orleans that it represents. You won't forget The John, and you probably shouldn't.
