Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar

in

New Orleans, Louisiana

By tradition, the pirate Jean Lafitte and his brother Pierre posed as blacksmiths in this late-1700s cottage to cover their illegal trade in enslaved people. Ghost tours tell of bartenders and patrons spotting Jean at a table near the piano bar.
