Voodoo Blues

If Voodoo Blues had been the only souvenir store on the block, you can rest assured that this would have been a five-​star review. The place is expansive, it’s definitely a one-​stop shop for all of your trinket needs, and staff is super nice.
Unfortunately, Bourbon and Decatur streets are overflowing with similar shops, and I made the premature purchases of magnets, post cards and voodoo dolls here. Just a couple blocks away, the same items — same brands! — are selling at cheaper rates. Pretty annoying.
Definitely survey your options in the area before buying from this shop.

This gift shop seems inexpensive and great… until you go down the street and find the exact same souvenirs for less. The selection is still nice and the cashier was friendly; however you literally can get the same stuff elsewhere for less.

Oh GOSH seriously. My friend was like, ‘hey let’s go to that gift store with the mummy’ and I had totally forgotten about it until I walked in and here was this squiggling mummy/​zombie that was trying to get away from what it is tied to. AHHHHHGGGGH!
Creepy.
Anyways, while there are dozens of souvenir stores in the French Quarter, and we stepped into about 10 of them, I can quite confidently say that this is one of the better ones. At least it was for me.
I collect key chains so every store I go to I look at the same range of things and use that as my measure and Voodoo Blues definitely had a few key chains that were unique to the store, and the some that were only in this and one other store that I went to. They weren’t all ‘cheapy cheapy’ key chains.
Is it a tourist trap? Yes. Is it pricey? yes. But hey, it’s the French Quarter in New Orleans what do you expect? We had a good time looking at the variety of masks, shirts, magnets, and other souvenir products. It’s good. I recommend you check it out!

We came here and picked up some Patrick O’Brien’s hurricane mix and Café du Monde coffee so we didn’t have to get it late night and carry it around. It worked out well. They had some cheap postcards too.

Little pricey, but that’s what you get when you is in NOLA on Bourbon Street. Bought a few items there, one of them being a rather large mardi gras mask. The lady behind the counter with more tats than I could count (many were very cool) was super nice and wrapped up everything really nice for me and not a thing broke on my trip home. She also make sure I had bags to carry everything in and took her time to help me. Was a pretty cool store and I’ll definitely go back when I crawl back down Bourbon. LOL!

overpriced and extremely rude staff.
go to any other souvenir store.

Souvenir shops on Bourbon Street are a dime a dozen. Why I never found the need to buy trinkets to spark memories, many do and this place is as good as the next. Pricey, but some unique stuff.

It’s just a overpriced tourist trap. The shot glasses were sweet though-​some of them.
