Tropical Isle is the home of the world famous Hand Grenade. The neon green specialty drink is considered the strongest beverage in New Orleans, and it tastes like it. The bar itself is nothing more than an homage to its drink. There are large stuffed Hand Grenades covering the walls and ceilings, glowing neon in the black-light. Although famous, Tropical Isle is representative of many of the “bars” you find on Bourbon Street—a place where you stop, grab a “Go-Cup” and keep walking.

tripadvisorThe hand grenades were AMAZING ! We will be ordering from the on line store!
MoreThis place is great. It's known for its Hand Grenade cocktail, but the Shark Attack is so much better (fun). The bartenders make a big production out of making and serving the Shark Attack drink. We brought people with us the following night, but the bartenders that night were not near as 'fun' and did a worse production. All in all, Trop Isle is a great place to hang out and have fun with friends.
MoreI can understand why this spot is popular. The grenade drinks are ridiculous. They are strong and will do the job. You can get refills for a few dollars cheaper if you bring the grenade. I liked it but it was a bit too sweet.
MoreOkay, Tropical Isle in New Orleans is legit a vibe. The drinks are unreal—the Hand Grenade is the ultimate go-to, and the Shark Attack is pure chaos in the best way. People lose it when that shark drops in, and I’m here for it. The live music is fire, the band was bringing good island feels—the whole place has this tiki-bar glow actually, chill yet packed with energy, perfect for me and my squad. And that balcony? Obsessed. It’s got the best view of Bourbon Street’s wildness unfolding below. If you’re hitting up NOLA, Tropical Isle is a must.
MoreThis place is a must when in NOLA, especially on Bourbon Street. It's a fun place with the best drinks...Hand Grenades! So yummy!
