One of the most storied dive bars in New Orleans, Ms. Mae's is a 24-hour cash-only bar on Magazine Street that has been under Black ownership for decades — serving ice-cold cheap drinks around the clock to a diverse, locals-first crowd in a sticky-floored, no-pretense room that embodies the spirit of real New Orleans nightlife. A cultural institution as important as any fine dining restaurant.
