1940

In the 1940’s many US distilleries were used to manufacture necessities for war time, and domestic liquor was scarce.

The old bar had an upright piano to entertain, but 718 St Peter allowed them to go bigger and better with two baby grand pianos … and dueling piano entertainment was born! It was converted back to a private residence until 1942, when O’Brien and Cantrell purchased the spacious place to become home to one of the most iconic nightclubs in the United States.

George Oechsner and his son Sonny purchased Pat O’Brien’s Bar in 1978.
