Southern Decadence is Just 3 Days Away!
Hey, all you fabulous folks out there! Can you feel the electricity in the air? That’s right, we’re just three glorious days away from the most thrilling, most outrageous, most over-the-top celebration in all of New Orleans—Southern Decadence! And here at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, we’re all shaking our tail feathers in pure anticipation!
Now, before you go spilling that sweet tea, let me introduce myself. I’m Karen Brem, your favorite marketing maven here at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn. We’re that lovely little gem of a hotel, located just a stone’s throw away from the French Quarter. Yep, we’re so close you could practically stumble back to your room after a night of wild revelry (no judgments here, darling!).
First things first—let’s talk accommodations. I know you’re all about living your best life, but even party animals need a comfy, cozy place to rest their paws. That’s where we come in! The Historic Mardi Gras Inn is proud to be LGBTQ-owned and operated, making us the perfect place for you to kick back, relax, and be your fabulous self. Our rooms are clean, affordable, and as welcoming as that friend who always has the best gossip. And our staff? Well, they’re practically family—warm, friendly, and ready to make your stay absolutely unforgettable.
But let’s be real—you’re not just here to nap, you’re here to live it up! And lucky for you, we’ve got not one, but two of the hottest nightlife spots in New Orleans just a hop, skip, and a sashay away from our front door.
First up, let’s talk about The Allways Lounge & Cabaret. This place is like a glitter bomb exploded and sprinkled magic all over the theater scene. It’s alternative, it’s funky, and it’s got that anything-goes vibe we all crave during Decadence. Starting Thursday, August 29th, they’re rolling out the red carpet (or should I say rainbow carpet?) for The Chaotic Erotic Tour. If that doesn’t make your inner freak flag fly, I don’t know what will. But wait, there’s more! Stick around for the Lust Filth performance—because who doesn’t love a little (or a lot) of lust and filth? It’s all happening just a minute’s walk from our front door, so you can be sure you’ll be right in the thick of it.
And then there’s the Phoenix Bar, oh honey, if you’ve never been, prepare to have your mind blown. This place is iconic, a top-rated gay bar that knows exactly how to throw a party that’ll leave you begging for more. Southern Decadence at Phoenix Bar is going to be a no-holds-barred, all-out, six-night extravaganza! Things kick off on Thursday, August 29th with the Solo Traveler’s Mixer—perfect for making new friends (or more than friends). And just when you think things couldn’t get any hotter, along comes Pizza Pawty and Nasty Pig Night. Trust me, if you’ve got a taste for the wild side, Phoenix Bar is where you need to be.
So, darlings, what are you waiting for? If you haven’t already booked your stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, you’re risking the ultimate FOMO.
