The Old Point Bar, Historic Algiers Point, LA
The Old Point Bar, Historic Algiers Point, LA is one of the premier live music venues in the city. A Coffee House stood on this site and the opposite corner (601) in the 1840’s. Not what we would consider a coffee house today, but they would have sold alcohol and had music and dancing and were only listed as coffee houses in the city directories of their day to keep the city from looking like it was filled with saloons.
