Igor Margan, founder of 24/7 Igor’s bars around New Orleans, dies at 71

Pouring out one for Mr. Margan, RIP.

I've had many late night drinks at all of these spots and greasy drunk meals and Igors and Buddha Belly, some bad but most pretty good.

Margan died Dec. 4 at age 71, after living for years with cancer. Susan Brooks, his longtime business partner, confirmed the news today. Services were held privately. The businesses he developed have been part of the New Orleans bar scene for more than 40 years. The oldest, Igor’s Lounge & Game Room on St. Charles Avenue, dates to 1974. Igor’s Check Point Charlie on Esplanade Avenue, Lucky’s on St. Charles Avenue and Igor’s Buddha Belly on Magazine Street all followed.
