In this episode, we dive into one of the most historically significant buildings in the French Quarter -- Napoleon House!

In this episode, the guys talk about one of their all-time favorite places in New Orleans -- Fritzel's European Jazz Club! Founded in 1969, Fritzel's is the longest running jazz club in New Orleans. Located at 733 Bourbon Street, the building was built in 1831, and the stories it could tell would be amazing. We love our bartenders, stiff drinks and all the live music. Hopefully, next time you're in NOLA, you'll swing by to see for yourself!
