Pat O'Brien's was established in 1933 in St. Peter Street, New Orleans. The famous Hurricane drink was created mid 40s.

Pat was born 1894 Benson Harrison O'Brien in Tennessee, and his father of the same name was born 1848 in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, an Engineer, who had emigrated to Montreal in Canada by 1873.

Under the management of George Oechsner Jr., Pat O'Brien's quickly became the most popular bar in New Orleans.

We visited the famous bar in 1982 and they gave us the glass as a souvenir :-)
