Gold Mine Saloon

The Gold Mine Saloon is a drinking establishment in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.[1] The saloon is known for creating its signature Flaming Dr. Pepper cocktail in the 1980s[2] and vintage video games (e.g., the 1982 Popeye).[3][4][5] The patronage has been described as an avant-garde and artistic crowd.[1][6] The establishment hosts the 17 Poets Literary and Performance Series.[7][8] The operator, Dave Brinks (son of the bar's owner, Barbara Bear),[9] is the author of the post-Hurricane Katrina poem cycle The Caveat Onus.[1][8][10]
