May Baily's Place

May Baily's Place Cheers! The modest cottage at 423 Rue Dauphine, built in 1821, was once one of the better known bordellos operating on the fringe of Storyville. Bellocq.
(236)

Our French Quarter bar, May Baily's Place, was once one of the better known bordellos as part of the red-light district, known as Storyville, that existed from 1897-1917 in New Orleans. Today May Baily’s Place is decorated in a Victorian style with portraits of madams by New Orleans’ famous Storyville photographer E.J. A framed copy of the operating license issued to May Baily is displayed at the

bar. Our Bordello guest suite takes an appropriate featured place above May Baily's, and a red light still burns in the courtyard next to it as a testimony to its history. The red light, the memorabilia and the Baily name are all that remain of an era that made even decadent old New Orleans blush.

Bravery defines this Memorial Day.

Today is all about reflection, gratitude, and remembering the ultimate sacrifice made by our nation's heroes. We hold their memory close to our hearts today and every single day.

Not every piece of May Baily’s history sits quietly. ✨

Inside May Baily’s Place, the piano stands as part of the story, just beneath May Baily’s original brothel license from the Storyville era — a reminder that this bar still carries the spirit of old New Orleans in every detail.

Stop in for a drink and experience one of the city’s most storied spaces for yourself.
