Napoleon's Itch , New Orleans

Napoleon's Itch - Napoleon’s Itch is not officially a gay bar; inside, you’ll find women, men, straight, gay, and everything in between. But take a closer look: the auburn mosaic wall and comfy, chic furniture in lieu are a little too sleek, the drinks are of the chocolate martini versus draft beer persuasion, and the soft-core gay porn playing on plasma-screen TVs serves as big clue to how this bar swings. A great place on the weeknights to relax, as it’s one of the few bars in the city with a sophisticated Queer-Eye décor and a martini menu that reads more like a dessert list. On the weekends, Napoleon’s Itch really comes alive when the velvet rope to the upstairs and balcony is finally lifted, and everyone comes out to gyrate—gay and straight alike.
