What are the drinking laws in the French Quarter?

FrenchQuarter.com: French Quarter FAQ
The city of New Orleans is not required to close its bars at any particular time. This means that a bar may stay open around-the-clock, 24 hours a day, and many in the French Quarter do just that. Not all bars serve all night, many close at 2 a.m., 4 a.m. or 6 a.m., or simply whenever the last customer finally staggers home. Most bars enforce an “18 to enter, 21 to drink” law at the door, although many choose to require all patrons to be 21 to enter.

ALWAYS look for signs before parking on a French Quarter street, and if possible just leave the car at home.
