The entrance is a narrow and dark alley way that opens into a small patio. The upstairs dance floor has a coffin ascending from the ceiling. The downstairs restrooms are hidden behind bookcases. Nice and creepy...The whole feel is, you guessed it...The Dungeon! A local favorite bar in the Quarter. No photo's allowed but I like to update my self portrait in the "rest" room of the Dungeon. It makes for an interesting question....where was this taken?Expect funky music, darkness, great skeleton and skull paintings, lots of security around and unusual people that breathe life into the whole scene.
The Dungeon is tied into the story of Prince Suleyman of the Turkish Royal Family. In 1808 the Royal Family arrived in New Orleans...six months later, all were brutally murdered in their living quarters. Officially, it was recorded as a robbery. The Dungeon states that..."It was retribution for the young women of New Orleans who were lured into the Prince's nearby dungeon and prepared for the harems of Istanbul by psychological indoctrination, opium-induced submission and torture." Welcome to the Dungeon...738 Toulouse.
