Maple Leaf Bar

HBO has changed TV with authentic, gritty shows like the Sopranos and Game of Thrones. When it decided to create an authentic program about post-Katrina New Orleans in the hit series Treme, there was only one choice for the cast’s hometown bar – the Maple Leaf. When it comes to going out for local music, the Leaf dishes up the dirtiness 7 nights a week. Frenchy’s gallery has been affiliated with the Maple Leaf for more than 10 years and his catalogue of paintings from the Oak Street bar room is expansive and brilliant.
