The Parish is a lively restaurant and bar that delivers a taste of New Orleans to the heart of New Paltz. The menu is loaded with authentic Cajun-Creole dishes: jambalaya, shrimp and grits, po’boys, gumbo, red beans and rice, and even alligator bites, all bursting with Louisiana flavor. The bar serves up classic NOLA cocktails like Sazeracs and Hurricanes alongside a solid beer list. The interior has a funky Southern charm, often with jazz, funk, or zydeco music playing to set the mood. Frequent events (from Mardi Gras parties to crawfish boils to live music nights) make The Parish a hub of entertainment. Whether you’re craving a spicy étouffée or just a cold Abita beer with friends, The Parish’s warm hospitality and “laissez les bon temps rouler” attitude ensure a good time for all.
