More, please! What bar is at the beginning of Episode 3?

This is amazing! Thank you. I’m planning a trip to cover this entire season of locations once the season wraps. This will be a HUGE help.

I’m actually from New Orleans, in love about 25 minutes away in Laplace currently. You have done a great job explaining these locations.

Here is a correction for you! The Baxter House restaurant is actually The Rib Room at the Omni Royal Orleans on St. Louis. I believe the outside, hotel, and pool scenes are the Bourbon Orleans. Even the last scene in Chapter 10 is the Rib Room for sure because we have a wine cellar there that I can see in the background.

I think the bad in episode 3 is Robert's Bar, next door to Frostop.

What was the filming location for the prison in this series? For example, season 2 episode 1?

What is the location of the coffee house with white tile walls, where they have two espressos, in the first or second episode? It looks like a restaurant on Magazine Street, closer to the quarter that I think was called Camisa‘s, but I could be wrong.

The coffee house with the white tiled walls in the first season, an early episode, is Casamento's Restaurant on Magazine Street near Napoleon Avenue. It is famous for its oyster bar and excellent fried oysters, shrimp, and fish. It is closed from mid-May until September. Traditionally, it was only open in months with an "r", because the water was cooler, which made the oysters safer.
