Benny X Dean X Cass - Tumblr Posts

What happens in Purgatory stays in…New Orleans? Was someone on Supernatural a fan of the Lafitte Cafe (https://lafittes.com/), or is this just another amazing coincidence? I could see our dearly beloved Purgatory vamp finding his way out again and starting a bar (we know Ty played a bartender earlier in the show lol). Benny would invite Dean and Cass over for old-time sake…and maybe a few rounds of pool.

History: The Laffite Cafe’s bar is open 24 hours a day and has had influential guests, including Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote. Operating since the end of Prohibition, (albeit in two different locations), the original Cafe Lafitte opened in the building that had been the noted pirate Jean Lafitte's blacksmith business in the 18th century. This building is now called Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop.

In its early days, the bar was managed by Mary Collins, a lesbian, and drew a mixed crowd of lesbians, homosexuals, and heterosexuals. In the 1950s, during rising tension between the club and the landlord, manager Tom Caplinger moved the club to the building where it is now located. At the grand reopening party in 1953, patrons arrived costumed as their favorite 'exile', including people like Oscar Wilde, Dante, and Napoleon.

Ghost Stories: In the book Queer Hauntings, Ken Summers writes that bar patrons claim to have occasionally seen the ghosts of deceased individuals who were fond of the bar as well as a "frisky" ghost named Mr. Bubbly who pinches people on their rear ends.
