The 43 best jazz bars and jazz clubs in New Orleans

I had the chance to experience Preservation Hall about ten years ago, and when I returned to New Orleans recently, I didn’t think twice about going back. It was just as amazing as I remembered! The musicians are incredibly talented, and the whole experience feels so authentic. Close your eyes, and it’s like you’re in a movie ❤️absolutely magical. A must-do in NOLA!

We had a wonderful time here! Short 45 min concert but sooo entertaining! It’s a small area and you’re right there with the musicians. All of them are so talented and we enjoyed every single minute! Definitely recommend.

Great jazz venue, talented musicians, friendly staff. I highly recommend attending a concert here if you are visiting New Orleans. Sitting space fills up pretty quickly, so it’s best to purchase tickets in advance.

This was by far the most wonderful experience in such an unexpected way. It was truly authentic jazz music. We felt it in our soul and enjoyed it so much more than we ever expected. Highly recommend. We bought tickets about 2 weeks ahead of time and got to the hall about 30 minutes early. That worked out great.

Never fails to impress everytime I go. The setting is what makes it intimate. Accomodates a small group seated or standing. $25 to stand in the back for a 50 minute set in an atmosphere unlike any other is quite reasonable. An iconic must visit place for jazz/blues fans, or if you love music of any kind. Just pure beautiful acoustic music played for you, no mics or equipments. It's a experience like no other.

This was the highlight of the trip. If tickets were available, I would have spent the money to go back. If you are a fan of joy and love music this is a must stop. In a little room, 6 musicians just absolutely bring it. We spent money on front row and in all honesty, it was a steal. The only unfortunate thing is they ask you not to photograph or video. Thankfully the memories will be in my head for as long as I have my brain functions. The musicians were awesome…but a special shout out to Ronell Johnson. Not only did he rule the trombone, but stuck around after the show for pictures and laughs until we were out the door. Such an awesome dude.

Wow!!! A must go in your New Orleans visit. The highlight of our family trip… What an amazing experience. We were there on Monday, August 11 for our twins birthday. The music was unforgettable… the band members were so warm, funny and TALENTED! We would love to hear them again. Really ANY seat is perfect because it is a small venue- very intimate. Thank you for making our evening so memorable.

Good logo, cool building, good merch and great jazz Came here to watch an enthusiastic ensemble perform funk swing covers of pop classics while my friend browsed an art market next door. As I entered I was somewhat frustrated in my friends’ decision to browse the art market after finally dragging them to Frenchmen street after a week in New Orleans. At this point I was not waiting any longer to quench my thirst for jazz. The band were incredible, and had so much energy. One of the best trumpet players I’ve seen and value for entry was not bad!

My Uber driver told me to check this place out and I'm so glad that I did. The music was amazing! I ended up staying longer than I originally thought I would but the show was so amazing and engaging. It's a very small venue so be prepared to be a bit crowded but it's so worth it. They had a lot of options for drinks and despite how busy it was the bartender was still very helpful. One of those spots where you feel like you travel back in time.

An upbeat fun experience. Casual vibe and great music. You have to work your way through the crowd to get to the bar for a drink but once you do you will be greeted with fast service. Check them out. Great tunes.

There is a cover charge. Great little club for live music & the band & vibe was great. No food. Not many Non alcoholic drink options. Very limited seating, standing room is most likely what you will have available. The locals are absolutely awesome! Glad we stopped in while in town.

We went in search of an intimate, no-frills NOLA jazz experience—and this spot exceeded all expectations! The cozy stage set the perfect tone, and every musician was absolutely fantastic. The cocktail menu had some unique and creative options, and there was plenty of standing room with a few stools scattered around for when you needed a break. It captured the essence of New Orleans perfectly—laid-back, soulful, and unforgettable.

Some of the BEST music in NOLA. Music all of the time after 2pm. We saw Jenavieve and the Winding boys, they were phenomenal. Please tip the bands, that's how they survive. Tall boy domestic cans at a decent price. Friendly bartenders. Nice selection of specialty cocktails, but they'll make you anything you want. Frenchman St is a must when visiting New Orleans.

Iconic blues & jazz bar and it delivered. Great atmosphere, music, and service. Friendly people to talk and dance with. Will come back next visit!

I loved the shrimp Po Boy! And the shrimp deviled eggs. Never had anything like that. The music was good. Staff were nice and attentive. My wife had the gumbo, fantastic.

I wanted an authentic, jazz experience in a quieter setting than a bar, and this exceeded every expectation! The food was delicious! I had the BBQ shrimp, which was divine. The music room is a quant room where you really feel up close with the artists. We loved being able to sit and just enjoy the music. 10/10 recommend for your trip!

An Unforgettable Evening with Charlie Gabriel and Larry Sieberth at The Listen Room What an incredible night of music! Charlie Gabriel and Larry Sieberth delivered unforgettable performances at The Listen Room, showcasing their masterful talent and musical chemistry. Gabriel’s soulful playing and warm stage presence, paired with Sieberth’s nuanced, expressive piano, created a magical atmosphere from start to finish. The Listen Room itself added to the experience — an intimate, cozy venue that offered a close-up view of these legendary performers. The acoustics were spot-on, and the setting made the audience feel like part of something truly special. It was a rare and beautiful night where music, setting, and spirit came together perfectly. A must-see experience for any true music lover.

We saw Ray Brown tribute with the Gavin Eckler Trio. They are amazing! The sound system did a great job for the space in the room. We had dinner before the concert and food and drinks were good quality and fresh. Wait staff was friendly and attentive.

We weren't able to see the jazz performance, but the food was terrific! We ordered the grilled salmon, fish marigny either a side of jambalaya, cup fo seafood gumbo, baked potato, and red beans and rice with chicken tenders. All of the food were delectable! The seafood gumbo was rich in flavor. The jambalaya was cooked well. I especially loved the fish marigny and grilled salmon! Come by for the food, stay for the jazz. Or is it the other way around? Either way, visit this restaurant and jazz bar. You won't regret it. Plus, it's a good place to start your trek along Frenchmen St.

What a great time seeing the huge Jazz band play on Wednesday the 29th. Very entertaining and a great historical feel. Loved it and highly recommend checking this place out. MAKE SURE TO BUY TICKETS! This is not a walk in show.

Decent place, would probably go again. Ordered quite a few New Orleans classics, and was not disappointed. The place itself has a lot of art and you can go listen to some live music inside.

Caught Fritzel’s All Star Jazz band playing the quintessential New Orleans jazz on a Wednesday night and they were lovely! There was no cover charge to enter, good draft as well as bottled beer options and interesting cocktails to try. There was plenty of seating, a cozy atmosphere and great service.

The best place in the French Quarter to see live music. Period. Everyone in your party has to order drinks. So we ordered a couple of $10 beers. No food since it was late night. The vibe of the place feels like your are in an olden days when jazz was king. Definitely worth a stop in if you are music fans.

Great little jazz bar we strolled into. Had a couple of drinks while listening to the band. (side note ' Went out the back to find the restroom and saw the cutest orange kitty napping 😻)

A wonderful bar that appreciates good jazz. After 5 PM, high-quality jazz bands perform daily. We came to this bar throughout our week-long stay in New Orleans and thoroughly enjoyed it. The standard requirement is to buy one drink (they even have non-alcoholic options) and then listen to jazz.

We were just there for the music mainly. I can't review the drinks, because they have way too much sugar for me. My companions enjoyed theirs. The music, jazz, was great. We had seats on what appeared to be a small picnic table. It wasn't very comfy.

Hands down the best place in New Orleans on Bourbon Street. The band was off the hook, with the best authentic set of jazz. We were seated immediately, mixed in with locals and vacationers in the pub's open bench style seating which created a unique experience that allowed us to meet new people, share drinks and stories and love of the music. By the end of the night we made new friends and exchanged social media. The service is outstanding, the drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is electric!

One of the best Jazz Bars in New Orleans!! Great bands, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere and great etc. I was having a lot of good times here.

This place is legit. Small, intimate, authentic setting. And the music was absolute fire. Happy Organ Hour indeed! WOW! One of the few places I went on my trip to New Orleans that I would visit again.

I've been going to the Maple Leaf since 1993. There's nothing like it. But maybe I'm a little biased because I bartended there from '99 to '00, I met my wife there, we had our rehearsal dinner there (a crawfish boil, of course), and I even lived upstairs for a little bit.

Lovely bar! Thought $25 was going to be a bit of an overspend for a random off-season show but had a great time. Lovely atmosphere and the owners were very welcoming!

Came on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised by the music and the nice vibes! $20 cover fee and they play two sets of music !

I went to the Maple Leaf Bar not knowing exactly what to expect, and honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of my time in New Orleans. It’s a no-frills, down-to-earth kind of place that’s all about the music—and the music is incredible. The band that night was electric. You could feel the sound in your chest, and the whole crowd moved with it. The vibe inside was packed but friendly, and you could tell most of the people there really cared about the music, not just partying. No one was trying too hard—it felt real and local in the best way.

One of my primary go-to music venues, which has great music practically every night of the week, always LiveStreamed on YouTube and archived under the Live tab on their channel.

A completely different venue than anything you'll experience on Bourbon St, MLB is where locals go to see great music. We saw George Porter Jr featuring Chris Adkins and Terrence Houston. Holy cow!! They absolutely knocked our socks off! And to think, the locals can see them perform just about every Monday night! Please do yourself a favor and make sure your trip to NOLA includes Monday night and go see this show. You won't regret it! Pro Tip: Get there ~15 minutes early if you'd like a seat. There are benches on the sides of the venue but other than that it's standing room only.

I went to this bar on my first night in New Orleans, and it set the perfect tone for the trip. The atmosphere was lively, the music was great, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. They know how to keep the energy up while making everyone feel at home. The drinks were well-made, and the overall vibe was exactly what you’d want from a NOLA bar—fun, engaging, and full of good times. I’d highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting New Orleans. Whether you’re looking to enjoy live music or just grab a solid drink, this place won’t disappoint.

Blue Nile is a live music venue. Theres a variety of musical acts ranging from jazz to afro beats. It has an energetic atmosphere, huge dance floor, and large bar. There's an upper level, a lower level, and a balcony with views. The space is located on Frenchman Street. Blue nile is accessible. 21 and older establishment, most night there is no cover.

*9 October 2025* Visiting from Atlanta. A time was had! My last tequila shot did EXACTLY what I needed it to do. The DJ did his thing. I was on the dance floor enjoying myself. The bartenders were great. The place was packed, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'd totally come here again the next time I'm in NOLA. The walk just to enter the Blue Nile was entertaining; so many characters on the street.

I had a ball. Local band with good music, I danced the night away. Everyone was dancing and having a good ole time. Bar tender was amazing.❤

Great club on Frenchman street! The live artist Irvin Mayfield and his band were on fire. Just so amazing and very talented. That man killed his horn set. 🙌🏽 We had a great time. Drink specials were available.

Getting drinks when bar first opens takes a long time (i.e. before the musical artist(s) start playing). So order 2 drinks and/or waters per person in your party the 1st time you wait in line. But otherwise not much of a line once the music gets going. Only been to this venue the one time, but the the show was top notch. Have no doubt that most of the artists that come through are of similarly high quality.

Yah!Yah!Yah! Thank you for making my first time in Nola so fantastic. The DJ playing Afrobeats and some early 2000s dancehall had me hype and nostalgic! Shout out for the free light-up glasses as a party favor upon entering. Oh and I'm especially thankful to your staff for being so chill and not pushy or snobbidh - something that's become a norm in many party districts across the US.

I hope you get to enjoy this establishment, it's off the beaten path but oh boy the trip is worth it. Authentic jazz type feel with amazing ambiance and friendly service. But the food is what made the night for me, the lamb chops paired with the sweet patato puree was esquisite then the sauce paired with the catfish was fantastic. Great flavors all around. Unfortunately, because we arrive quite late in the evening, we only caught the tail end of the live Jazz bandso will visit again to get the full experience.

This place is vibe by itself. Located off St.Claude 7th Ward Area. I love how this jazz hall takes you back in history to help show case all the great black singers and musicians who ever did it. This jazz hall also expose local talent as well. I just happened to have went on a Thursday night, which is steak night there. The food is so good and the service is royalty like. I admire how you never feel out of place there. The atmosphere is very chill yet vibrant. I highly recommend this place on a Tuesday and Thursday night. Or if there are any major events like Mardi gras, Jazz Fest and Essence festival.

As vacationers, we wanted something less touristy and a local jazz spot four our foodies. This spot was WELL WORTH the Uber from French Quarter. The food had heart and tasted like magic. The blackened catfish was perfect. We all loved the Jerk fried chicken (new item) and we had the best grits of the trip here. Bacon, cheddar & jalapeño grits --- we should have come earlier in the trip so we could have those a 2nd time.

Sweet Loraine's is a hidden gem It's black owned. The staff and service is great. They have some good food and drinks and if you like live music you can't go wrong here.

We predominantly went for the music of Irvin Mayfield and guests for his Blackout show which was sensational but we loved everything about this place. It has a great vibe with friendly staff and the food is pretty damm good too. Our waiter Darius was friendly and helpful and kept our drink and food flowing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and we'll definitely be back for more.

Okay, I do not like to leave bad reviews so if I leave a 3-star review then you know my experience was just okay. So on our second day in New Orleans, we visited Sweet Lorraine's Jazz club based on the reviews that I've read about the entertainment and the food. Our show started around 9:10pm, we were seated at around 8:55. My husband and I definitely were looking forward to a good meal here based on the reviews, we we're definitely hungry when we arrived and ready to order shortly after being seated. We waited until 9:20 until a server actually acknowledged we were there. He dropped off some waters and left. Shortly after, we moved to another table because where we were sitting it was extremely cold, the air conditioning and a fan were blowing directly on our heads. In our new area, we sat for another 30 minutes until another server actually came by. I asked her about the salmon tacos, she didn't really know a lot about that, I asked her about the vegan gumbo and again she didn't know a whole lot about that either so I asked her if she can ask someone, so she left and it was another 20 minutes or so before we actually ended up ordering and waited even longer to get our food. The show was from 9:00pm until 11:00pm, we ended up getting our food at around 10:45 p.m. I ending up ordering the salmon tacos which were very delicious and a hit, just wish there were more of them, there were only three. I also ordered the vegan gumbo and unfortunately that was a miss. My husband ordered the wings and unfortunately it was a miss for him as well because he said it tasted like it was cooked in old grease. But on the brighter side we did enjoy the entertainment, but it was hard to fully get into the show when you're extremely hungry, cold and feeling neglected which is the reason for three stars. The sad part about the situation is there was another server working around our area, she clearly saw that we were just sitting there, she passed us numerous times. I even asked if she knew anything about our food and she shrugged her shoulders and kept it moving. Not once did she offer to assist our server who was working our area and was clearly overwhelmed.

Great food, great space. Loved the entertainment. I was there with friends to listen to Gina Brown who was very accomodating. With that said -- the place was understaffed. You can't open at 1 and start the kitchen up at 12:55. You don't have a big menu as it is. So, I'm not sure what the problem was other than you don't understand the amount of time needed to prep. And you underestimate your staffing needs. If you don't have enough people then scale back the menu. Orrrr try paying more and offer training to people so others can be successful.

Wow! We absolutely loved this place tonight. My wife and I go to dinner frequently in New Orleans. This is hands down one of the coolest experiences we have ever had. Super laid back atmosphere. No table service so you don’t have a server making you feel rushed to get out. Really nice outdoor patio with live music. The music started at 7pm tonight. It’s like a DIY at your own pace restaurant. I loved that about this place. GO. CHECK. IT. OUT!

Simply fantastic. What a great spot to enjoy amazing music, great food and a true oasis of a space. We came as a group of 8 and absolutely loved everything about this spot. Great wine, great food, great cocktails and beers. What more could you truly want. A 12/10 experience. If you come to New Orleans come here! And get the pork belly holy best pork belly I’ve had in a minute!

This feels like a place you’d see in an HBO finale where all the hot late 20s to 30 or 40 something’s meet up in the season finale to have a celebratory send-off of some kind. If like the vibes of Sideways were a restaurant. Truly unique dining experience. Food was great. Drinks were fantastic. Music was delightful. Service is top notch. Property is adorable. Will scream this recommendation from rooftops for anyone visiting NOLA. 5/5 will return at some point.

Amazing food!! It was confusing to understand their set up at first, but, they have a small place downstairs where you can buy wine and you either take it home or take it upstairs to the restaurant and have it with the food you are gonna order. In the back there is a patio with occasional live music. Seriously… amazing food!

What a magical patio. Great atmosphere, music, and people. You definitely get a community vibe as you hang out over wine and small bites. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The charcuterie board was massive. Diverse offering of spirits.

Wonderful spot that I hope to get back to one day. A friend brought us there while we were visiting for a few days in New Orleans! All cities should have a spot like this. It's the best wine shop/cheese/art and music experience out there. Simple, clever, fun. Delicious charcuterie board and wonderful music.

Such a great experience, love the concept. You go pick your own cheese wine and meats from their little market and they create a charcuterie board adding olives pickles and bread bringing it to your table. Live music and beautiful outdoor space! Highly recommend!

I stop by this place at 7pm to listen to the band , and it turned out to be such a beautiful experience with a glass of wine , I then ordered the crab Dip which was soooooo delicious and set everything TOGETHER omg I couldn’t stop thinking about it I also used some of the homemade chips with the dip as well , I also tried their bowl of gumbo which was full of shrimp and very tasteful . This place is a wonderful environment filled great bartenders and servers and great quality food . You would not be disappointed if you are I suggest you do a self check .

Great escape from the sights and sounds of the French Quarter and indulge in a relaxed, unrushed pace and delightful bites provided by Terriell and the Ritz-Carlton staff. Choose from a variety of regular and caffine-free teas, start with one type of tea with the savory bites, and another with the second course of sweets. For an additional $10, upgrade to the Royal tea service that includes a glass of champagne to toast on a special occasion. Each reservation is set-up on a separate table with a long couch and two chairs for a semi-private experience for you and your guests to enjoy, but also allows you to engage with near by guests if you choose. Please let your server know if there are dietary restrictions or if you are celebrating a special occasion.

The single best place for live entertainment on this side of the French Quarter. Classy & comfortable atmosphere. Jeremy Davenport & his band provide extraordinary performances five evenings per week and won’t disappoint. Located inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel on Canal St. I spent my whole weekend enjoying this venue v/s conquering the chaos on Bourbon (which didn’t appear to have any jazz clubs from what I can tell). Davenport Lounge for the win!!

If you've enjoyed other Ritz-Carlton afternoon teas, prepare to be disappointed by this one. The staff, while friendly, were indifferent, and the service was painfully slow, even for afternoon tea. We waited an absurd 1.5 hours for the scone and dessert course and had to remind the staff, who seemed surprised by our request. The presentation was subpar, with a teapot that looked like it had wet toilet paper sticking out, which was actually the tea bag. None of the food items met expectations, though the tea and live harp music were the only highlights. Overall, this experience was a letdown, and I recommend seeking afternoon tea elsewhere.

Fantastic lounge for jazz and live music. We went for the afternoon high tea, which is a total treat. Definitely put this on your list. Shout out to Terriell our wonderful server, she went out of her way for us today!

While the Davenport Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans serves drinks, snacks, breakfast and hosts jazz music on certain days, our personal favorite is “afternoon tea.” Reservations are required and they are currently only doing it on Saturdays, but this is one of our favorite things to do in New Orleans. Even if we aren’t staying at the Ritz, we still make sure to find time to enjoy this awesome 3 course treat consisting of savories, scones, and desserts. Also, there are several dozen teas to choose from and everyone we have tried has been amazing! This is just a great experience with great tastes in the plush and beautiful Davenport Lounge. We should also mention that the service has always been outstanding as well.

Got here at 9:25 Thursday night before the Super Bowl in N.O. and the band stopped at 9:30. No music after that, odd. The band leader and other band members appeared to have a very bad relationship from what I could see. Sad, a great opportunity for good jazz music, a.great crowd was present, very sad.

Made a stop in New Orleans on our way to Mississippi just to watch the Burlesque show and had a fantastic time. The room was intimate, and the service was great. We enjoyed the chicken and sausage gumbo, chicken and waffles, a Paloma and coffee martini. Everything was beautifully platted and tasted delicious. Even better than the food was the Trixie Minx Burlesque show. The singer was great and the dancers were everything we expected and more. Definitely worth seeing again.

We didn’t eat here but came after dinner to enjoy some Jazz at 7:30pm - must have advanced tickets and it was PACKED and for good reason. Drinks are boozy but good and the Jazz is amazing. Definitely worth it while in New Orleans. Casino Royale tastes like a STRONG martini, just FYI. Took one star away after staying for 2nd half. I’m sure it depends on who you see (as it seems it depends on the night) but the rest wasn’t jazz.. it was mostly hip hop, which we as young adults like, but our older colleagues were confused bc of the advertised venue and left early. If it’s a “jazz club” better to stick to the classics.

It's a very good experience! I bring my husband, friends from out of town and mother n law. The drinks and food are pretty good. The entertainment topnotch. DONT FORGET TO TIP EITHER! OK!!! THEY WORK HARD! Try to reserve your seat before you go. You may be out of luck if you don't.

I did not eat here but i came for the music i will come here again during my stay. The neyo jones band was outstanding I hope the jazz playhouse book them again. They were just good nice jazzy music. Neyo opened her 9p set with the a cover of the eternal nancy Wilson's. Guess who i saw today. Neyo did not disappoint. She included "my favorite things" which for me i think of as a classic rap song with thefast rhytmix vical pacing She wrappwd her vocals around "over the rainbow" and climbed it and rode it to the pot of gold at the end. he atmospheres of the club was good but i think a little background noise should have been diminished. The jazz playhouse is a lovely setting with great musci

We had an amazing time! We had the pleasure of attending 4.23.25 , which is my birthday, and the show did not disappoint! Big Sam and Crew were GREAT! We love live music and the energy in this room was great! The best part was when Sam called the birthday people on stage! The service was also great, and the alligator bites were good. When you visit Nawlins, check this place out!

We had a great time at this jazz club! The band was outstanding, especially the sax player and the young drummer. Nayo Jones has an amazing voice and did a great job at engaging the audience. It was interesting to hear some Broadway show tunes flipped into jazz. The only drawback was an overly intrusive wait staff. In a jazz club, I expect that wait staff to be "invisible" so as not to detract from the music. There was one young waiter who thought he needed to perform his tasks "with flair" instead of being as unobtrusive as possible. There was a nice selection of wine, beer, and cocktails. Food was available.

Amazing! Nayo Jones was phenomenal, her band was so talented and it was the experience you really want in New Orleans! We were so lucky to have happened upon the club during our trip here. It was so warm, service was top notch. We will recommend this place to anyone we know headed to NOLA.

After years of hearing about Tipitina’s, I finally got to see a show there. St Paul & The Broken Bones. What can I say? Great atmosphere, met great people in the audience. Sound was too notch, staff was super nice and defines souther hospitality. I only wish I lived closer so I could come more often, but I will happily fly in for another show!

Wonderful event. A variety of artists performed. Had VIP, so didn't have to wait in line outside. Went straight upstairs to the second floor, VIP only. Great view of the stage. Bar was stacked with whatever we wanted. Also, I got to meet some artists that came up after the show. Definitely had a great time. 👍

First visit to Tipitina's. The venue was Fais Do Do with Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band. The tickets were very reasonably priced as well as the drinks. The folks running the place were very friendly. The band was great and we did some dancing.

Excellent music and fun atmosphere! We really enjoyed the talented musicians and singers who played on our visit. Impressive service at the bar for such a crowded venue. The bartender might have super powers.

If you haven't been at least once, you're missing out. The sound is truly incredible - kudos to the techs. Bars on every level and great security with solid procedures, you can't find too many concert venues like this anymore.

Great place for New Orleans vibes and great music. Friendly bartenders, and decent price drinks. Definitely a NOLA staple.

Good vibes, perfect stage setup err body in da building can feel like they're almost on stage. A real intimate experience.

Maison Bourbon sounds like a brand of jam you’d find in a Carrefour 45 minutes outside of Paris. But it is not. It is a jazz bar in New Orleans. The band that was playing here was good, but the singer definitely seemed like he was on some substances when he wasn’t (incredibly competently) playing the saxophone. The beers were a reasonable price, it wasn’t too busy and there was plenty of room to dance. Overall a fun experience.

When we decided to have our destination wedding in New Orleans, we knew we wanted something on Bourbon to give our guests the true party experience. When we met with Jeanne and the team at Maison Bourbon (Vieux Carre Venues), we were so excited about the possibilities! The venue has a balcony facing the best and most lively intersection of Bourbon St. and is such a gorgeous space. We rented both rooms - one above Maison Bourbon which is adjoined with the one above MyBar@365. We had our wedding catered and our guests are still raving about the selection of food. We highly recommend the brisket and the oysters! There was so much comfortable seating and they allowed us bring in our own beads to toss from the balcony. There were clean restrooms, two full bars, and the ambiance was spectacular! We are so thankful to get to work with Jeanne as our coordinator - she is truly the sweetest and most patient person! We had so many questions along the way and their team never hesitated to get right back to us with details. Don't sleep on this venue! It's affordable and truly worth the experience!

I loveeeed this place!!! Soo much fun!! The jazz band was amazing, strong cocktails!!! Must try! I will definitely come back when I’m in NOLA. Thank you!!!

While we were in New Orleans we had a few drinks in Maison Bourbon. The jazz band was excellent and they were funny when they introduced music and with general banter. Highly recommended

In the French Quarter... totally awesome atmosphere and vibe 🪉💫🪇✨️🎊💜🔊🪗🎷📻🎸

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The customer service was absolutely terrible, and I have never been treated so disrespectfully in my life. A group of friends and I entered the bar and all of us showed our IDs to one of the bartenders upon arrival. My friends ordered their drinks, and I decided to wait until later. After enjoying the music for a while, I went up to the bar to order a soda. The bald bartender asked for my ID again, and I politely explained that I had already shown it to his colleague. Still, I went back to my table to retrieve it and returned to the bar. By that time, the bald bartender was busy serving others, and while waiting for him, another bartender took my order and handed me the soda without issue. A few minutes later, the bald bartender stormed over to our table, yelling at me to leave. He was shouting so aggressively that everyone around looked confused. I tried to explain the situation, but he just kept yelling over me. I was kicked out of the bar having done absolutely nothing wrong. After reading other reviews, it seems this isn’t the first time customers have been treated poorly by the same employee. No one deserves to be treated with that level of hostility or disrespect. I would never recommend this bar to anyone.

Must visit! I stopped here every night during my new orleans trip.

Amazing place live jazz amazing vibe only bad thing not the best ventilated area so if your with people that don't smoke cigars or are not use to cigar bars they might get nauseous... Other then that has amazing time had an amazing Opus X No.2 and it paired with a macallan 12 year old scotch! Love this place! If you love cigar bars and live jazz music this is the place for you! Drank a lot and smoked several cigars a hell of a night!

Came in from out of town and found this gem online. Husband and I had THE BEST TIME! The music, the atmosphere, the drinks...everything was on point AND NO HASTLE WITH PARKING. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Seems like a nice old school neighborhood bar that serves alcohol and cigars. You can smoke cigars or cigarettes which is nice for smokers. The upper pool table area has a separate bar and pment of plush seating around the table so you can comfortably what the pool table action as you have a smoke and a drink. Cigar selection is limited and pricy so if you are picky about your cigars then bring your own.

Fantastic place to hang out, grab a beer, and smoke a cigar if that’s your thing. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. One of the nicest rooms to hangout in with the pool table. Live music was playing when we went. Great spot for locals and friends.

Always a great time, great music and fabulous service... My spot fosho

Very cool bar inside and nice outdoor area too. Good music every night and good prices for Happy hour. Pool table is in nice condition. I'm not a cigar fan so when there's a lot of peeps smoking I tend to find myself looking for another watering hole.

Cozy and large cigar bar with outdoor seating. There is live music each night, mainly in the blues and jazz genre. The musical guests are phenomenal and highly talented. I love The Betty Shirley Band. The staff members are warm and welcoming, and are very knowledgeable about their crafts. The beverage and cigar selection are both reasonably price and eclectic. A must visit if you are a cigar fan. I’ve visited this spot many, many, times due to a dear friend inviting me once a few years back. I love it!

Maison and Dirty Dozen Brass Band After spending the morning and afternoon at the 2025 New Orleans Jazz festival I headed back to my hotel to rest for a bit before seeing the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, for a 10 p.m. show at Maison. Located in the heart of Frenchmen (508 Frenchmen St.), I stopped by early to learn doors would open at 9:30 p.m., giving me enough time to cross the street for crawfish étouffée at Frenchmen All Day (630 Frenchmen Street). I had wisely paid for access to the balcony ($40 + $10 handling) and because I was first in line at 9:30 I was able to secure a small high-top table not far from the upstairs bar but with a view of the front of the stage. (I think general admission $25, was for standing room only.) The band was amazing! Rich, colorful sound, nicely blended by a group that clearly knew each other’s styles. It reminded me of some of the scenes from HBO’s series “Tremé” – the venue itself appears a couple of times in the series (which aired for four seasons starting in 2011 and currently is available through Amazon Prime Video). The Dirty Dozen Brass Band’s performance captured the swing and feeling of the French Market music scene. Not sure why the balcony lacked a video screen – much of the upstairs seating had great acoustics but no sight line of the stage itself. Drink prices were reasonable given the high quality of the venue, and the bartended was personable and helpful – and there was never more than a five-minute wait to get served. My only concern (and it’s not even a complaint) was the repeated appearance of iPad Man, who presumably had been responsible for the band’s sound engineering. He apparently needed to make many trips during the show to adjust sound values, and while the band didn’t need to stop while these changes were made, his presence at center stage was distracting. Maybe there’s a reason why traditional sound boards served their purpose so well for so many years. Whatever software was being used to run the sound quality, its user needs to up his game and get the job done before the show starts. I came to Maison hoping to experience the vibe that “Tremé” spoke to and was richly rewarded with an outstanding night in New Orleans.

I had a phenomenal time here! I came early in the afternoon around 2ish? The band playing was amazing. The staff were friendly, and quick with service! You need to order at least one drink. I really enjoyed the band playing and purchased their vinyl. Will definitely come back here on my next visit.

Go! You can reading For those who like to read well then here is my one night take on Favela Chic. The atmosphere is exactly what you came to New Orleans for in the first place. Get off of Bourbon Street and head to Frenchman’s Street we were told by the locals and they were right. Better music, feel, and food at least in our experience. The music was provided by Skinny Tuba this night and they were so good. Way better than the top 40 style music we experienced on Bourbon Street. The food was really good especially the fries. Only complaint I have is that there is an automatic 20% tip PRE included and then they still ask for a tip. Be careful or you will end up tipping closer to 40% without knowing it. See the image of the receipt.

I wanted to reserve VIP seating which you pay for based on the number of people in your party but I had questions as it was $250 for a table up to 6 people. I called and sent texts as instructed on the website but could not get a response. I decided to take a chance and reserve it anyway. Huge mistake. It was advertised as by the stage close to the band with VIP seating starting at 10. Well...long story short when the lady seated me she asked me if "they" told me there would be a DJ at 11? I was livid as I had paid online and was stuck without being able to get a refund. The band stopped at 11 promptly then it was a DJ. We actually didn't need to reserve seats at all as after 11 it was a ghost town with no band. I should have gone with my gut and based on the lack of responsiveness not have thrown my money away. Oh yes..it is important to note that I started trying to get in touch with them a month ahead of time. So many other places on Frenchmen street to go to. Skip this one. Only good note is our waitress was nice.

Band was good. No cover but there was a 1 drink minimum per set. We went on a slow time, a Monday evening around 7pm

Best jazz bar/restaurant on Frenchmen St! It has no cover charge, no minimum drink order, no minimum age, and no service fees. The jazz music played sounded amazing, but was not so loud to overwhelm. We still enjoyed conversation while the music played. We brought our kids and had a nice family jazz music night. The food menu is limited, but most people come here for drinks and music. It’s a great place.

We rented The Mezzanine package for our wedding reception dinner, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! The buffet-style dinner was absolutely delicious, with the roast beef stealing the show. Our bartenders were so friendly and mixed up the most amazing drinks. The Mezzanine itself was the perfect setting, close enough to enjoy the live band while still being able to chat and celebrate with our guests. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding night truly perfect!

The music and singing was nice. The jazz live performance is a great element.The food was ok nothing impressive, the caprese salad was shockingly disappointing. The service was good. Not a place that I would go to again.

Had the best time with my Mom! Tonight they had 7 of the best Jazz musicians in The French Quarter on stage. I did the math and they had over 455 years of talent on stage. We will definitely be back for the wonderful food and music! Was very nice to meet Richard on Bass.

A lively vibe with jazz, quality food n good drinks. The Friday night band with Kevin Louis is worth making a visit! The sweet owner dances as the band plays....I love her energy!

Such a one of a kind gem of New Orleans. Visiting Palm court is like stepping back in time with the greatest jazz music in the city.

This experience was the best I had in New Orleans. The atmosphere and aesthetic was relaxing and amazing. The best food we had on our entire trip. The music was phenomenal along with the wait staff. If you’re looking for a Resturant with live music for the whole family highly recommend. This is great for the feel of New Orleans jazz music and food. If I could give it more stars I would. I will be sure to let anyone I know that comes to New Orleans to come this place.

Excellent ambiance, excellent musicians we had a very good experience. The restaurant was a bit pricy but the food was excellent. I had the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked … the service could be improved ….

This place is wonderful. The music 1st, owned by the darlingest woman on the planet, staff warm and welcoming, food is Delicious. We had crabcake, and steak pie, fried crawfish for app.... in love completely. Dinner and phenomenal Jazz. Like I felt a warm musical hug from NOLA🥰🥰🥰.

When you visit New Orleans, and you will because it’s the land of dreamy dreams, going to Kermit Ruffins’ is a must. Intimate venue where the host actually feeds you as part of the cost. Great food, amazing music. Kermit is an international music legend and you get to see true musicians play feet from you. Do not pass on this opportunity.

Kermit’s Treme Mother-In-Law Lounge is more than a bar— it’s a breathing tribute to New Orleans soul. Tucked in the heart of the 7th Ward, this spot pulses with music, memory, and magic. Owned by jazz legend Kermit Ruffins, it’s where brass bands light up the backyard stage and solo piano sets turn happy hour into a whole celebration. The drinks are dive-bar honest, the food is full of flavor when Kermit cooks, and the vibe? A party (in the words of Kermit, “We Partyin’) always a homecoming. It is truly a place that honors the legends while making space for new ones. It’s New Orleans, unfiltered. Kermit plays Mondays and Saturdays at 06PM!

Forget everything you know about quiet, sit-down venues, because a night at Kermit's Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge is a full-on, joyous immersion into the soul of New Orleans. Stepping inside this vibrant, historic club feels less like visiting a bar and more like crashing a family reunion—if your family were all master musicians with a knack for grilling up incredible barbecue. The vibe here is pure, unfiltered fun. The air buzzes with energy, fueled by the infectious rhythm of live jazz that spills out from the intimate stage. The true highlight, of course, is the music. The sense of community and musical legacy here is awesome. This spirit is a big reason why musicians like Irvin Mayfield Jr. are so essential to the city's jazz scene, carrying the torch and celebrating the very culture that makes venues like this so special. Kermit's is the kind of place that captures the essence of New Orleans—unpretentious, soulful, and full of life. It’s a place to come as you are, eat some good food, and let the music move you. For an authentic, unforgettable night out in the Treme, there's nowhere else quite like it.

We didn't eat, only had a drink, the place isn't fancy but it's full of personality and in Louisiana's true fashion everyone is welcomed and made to feel at home!!! We were visiting from Texas and it was across from the Air BnB, it's a historic, neighborhood bar full of old school charm, I loved it!!!

Go get your fill of some serious local music, get there early for the Tuesday 6 PM show it's the one that will least likely have a line if you get there 15 minutes early. $20 gets you in, cash or card. Its mostly stand only with perhaps a dozen chairs in the small tight quarters. Kermit is a very active participant in his bar, so do not be surprised if he's chatting it up with you at the bar or suddenly, you feel a trumpet in your ear and he's going into town, playing it with so much passion. The guys all have such a great banter with each other. It is amazing, amusing and delightful to watch. SO much talent on this stage. The drinks are very moderately priced, they do not give you cups of waters so be prepared to pay for bottled water. There's food on the menu and as Irvin Mayfield says Kermit declares himself a chef 1st and a musician 2nd, so if you're lucky enough ask for what they're serving on the menu it could be his proclaimed raccoon gumbo.

Seems like a cool place. A little slow when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. Wishing we'd been able to stick around for another night to see Kermit play. Kitchen was unexpected treat for kind of a historic but divey spot.

Profoundly disappointed. I've been a Kermit fan for nearly a decade, so I came here for the first time on a Tuesday to hear some live music. I arrived at 5:45 p.m. and the lady at the door must have taken me for a mark. She said the cover charge was $20. All the reviews say the cover charge, when there is one, tops out at $10. I guess she was trying to scam me. I still love his music, I just don't like getting hustled.

Incredibly entertaining and classic spot to enjoy live jazz and sip on a perfectly crafted Old Fashioned. Emma is wonderfully hospitable, always making sure guests find a good seat and truly enjoy the show. This is an authentic jazz experience, you can hear every musician shine on their instrument. As a fun bonus, the set ends with a little burlesque surprise! Highly recommended. 5 stars!!!

We were in NOLA for a conference and the last thing we wanted to do after we arrived and grabbed some lunch nearby the New Orleans Marriott was to drag ourselves to Bourbon St or Frenchman St for live music. So as we headed back to the hotel, we noticed the Mahogany Jazz Hall located immediately across the street from the Marriott's port cochere. And so we ducked inside as the sandwich board out front advertised live music all day and night and we heard great music wafting from inside. We stepped inside to a fairly empty bar with a tiny stage sporting a jazz trio. The lead singer was playing the trumpet, tambourine, and then also jumped on the drums. There was a pianist and a bassist. They were fantastic. And to have live music right outside the hotel, truly just steps away was the perfect way to let the conference days melt away while enjoying a drink and listening to great live music. So we ordered a couple drinks and settled in for a couple hours of local live music. And we were not disappointed. They were just local guys who enjoy playing with whomever is there. It was great. So great, in fact, that we came back almost nightly for the ten days we were there. W Forget the touristy Bourbon Street or the newly recent tourist spots on Frenchman Street (this street was mostly locals until within the last year or two), go to Mahogany Jazz Hall instead and enjoy great jazz and good drinks.

One of the best places I've been in NOLA. Beautiful music, full house on a Tuesday night - standing room only. Get there 7:30 for a seat. The band came and mingled on their breaks. Would go again and again.

This place is one of the most unique, coziest experiences I’ve had. I spent my whole night here and Garland was the best bartender I’ve ever met! The kind that always had my water refilled and I’m fairly certain covered my drink when I went to the bathroom as I was a single woman on my own in here. I asked once for whatever gin cocktail he wanted to make and it was the best drink I had that night. The band was absolutely fantastic, and the atmosphere only got better as the night went on. If there’s one thing you visit in New Orleans, I’d say it has to be here!

Went in there a couple of years ago. It was crowded but a great experience. Went in here after hearing music from the street. jazz is my weakness, so we went in and as crowded as it was, found a seat at the bar. The staff were attentive and nice. Even talked to us about where we were from. The drinks were great. I kept it simple. See videos and photos for more. We took home a T-shirt and a mug as a souvenir.

Given the current situation in New Orleans I thought its people and places deserve some positivity. Mahogany Jazz Hall was incredible. Visited last week and you really feel the essence of the city and its people there. The sounds of Jazz bounce off of every wall. The band was excellent and engaging. But the true star for us and who made our night was our bartender/mixologist Garland. His recommendations/actual cocktails were top tier, our glasses were never dry and his vibes were immaculate. The staff did an excellent job of directing traffic so there was never obstructed views of the band. Highly recommend this place and will definitely go back my next time in New Orleans. Prayers with you all.

The best live music club in New Orleans. Beautiful, intimate setting. The owner, Kate, has decades of experience running a nightclub and it shows. It’s warm, welcoming and away from the craziness of Bourbon Street. A real bonus if Tom Fischer is performing. It’s now a must stop when you’re in New Orleans.

The place to listen to REAL Jazz in New Orleans! I am a local and been going for years. They have seats in the open windows so you can relax and sit while still hear the music. Very relaxing for someone with back issues.

Great artwork. Local vice. Cool front window seats. Drunk menu and alcohol selection just okay.

Great service, great drinks, and just a great spot to chill. Love them supporting up and coming artists!

We didn't catch her name, but the gal who helped us had a K on her necklace. She was amazing! She even walked us to the Spotted Cat for our next stop. Please tell her a HUGE thank you from the two girls with the vodka soda 🩷

Rude bartender on Halloween. Ordered something they didn't have and he sa8d dont have it and moved on. Real classy. 1st time visiting, last time visiting.

I enjoyed dancing to the band, tuba skinny and had a surprise tasting of pappy van winkle 15 year reserve. I didn’t expect them to have such high quality bourbon, but they had it at a reasonable price ($55 per ounce) so I jumped at the opportunity. Great music, good times, and wonderful bartenders!

Amazing band playing that night. Just for drinks and you may be standing up all the time. Limited seating on the stage zone.

This unassuming restaurant, bar, and live music venue on Frenchmen is a wonderful example of what NOLA has to offer. Fun drinks, inspiring music to listen and dance to, and incredibly good food albeit from a limited menu. We love the red beans and rice as well as the gumbo. Prices are inexpensive and the kitchen is open during the day on the weekends (not every venue is). If you are around Frenchmen, listen with your ears and follow your nose to this delightful little joint.

Was in town for a conference and went here for a late dinner and to listen to some live jazz on a recommendation of someone in our group. Was not disappointed. We got fries and wings and cauliflower bites for appetizers. I got a pork debris po’boy. It was all very good. Great service. And fun music. Definitely recommend.

Excellent music, good food and friendly service. I'll definitely go back.

Great asian fusion restaurant. We saw Betty Shirley with her band. The food, live music and atmosphere were a perfect way for us to end our night out.

Walking past and hearing the live music I side, I had to go in. I wasn't disappointed. Smiling, happy staff met me at the door and made sure I was seated and comfortable. The music performance was top notch, Comforting and added some extra grace to a charming establishment. I learned after I had left that the food is very highly rated and makes the Three Muses worthy of a return visit, but when without the food, I already planned to go back. After visiting all of the music venues on Frenchman Street, The Three Muses is certainly the best. A little bit of real magic in a forest of hocus pocus. Thanks folks. Your smiles made my day.

Stopped by for a quick drink. The bartender was very nice. The live music was very nice to hear. There was a piano player and a drummer. Good spot for drinks. They do offer food. However, I did not try any dishes.

Music was great, but watch out! They tell you no cover charge, but charge $3 pp to listen and then charge 20% gratuity on top of every thing and then still "conveniently" leave a to line o the bill. So 2 beers ran about $30 plus what we tippped the band after they walked around asking for tips. There are more honest places on Frenchman to listen to good music.

Lots of homeless, I literally watched 2 different drug deals go down. The music and food was great, but the people carry knives and will stare you down if you look like a possible target. Stay safe travelers. Don’t be careless on this street

Great little art area at the Frenchman bazaar and amazing live music

A time was had on Frenchman Street 🍷 the jazz music the vibes and the food….chef’s kiss 💋 we enjoyed our girls night for sure!!

We were hoping to catch some nice jazz band and/or jazz vocalist here but IMHO the choices are both more and better over at the French Quarters. But on a side note, there’s a tats parlor here where prices start at $100.

Frenchmen Street in New Orleans is an unforgettable experience! From live jazz pouring out of every corner to vibrant street art and cozy galleries, the energy is electric. The food is incredible—local, flavorful, and full of soul. Every bar and venue offers something unique, making it the perfect place for music lovers and night owls. It's the true heartbeat of New Orleans’ culture and creativity! We enjoyed visiting Bourbon Street but felt like part of the experience while at Frenchman Street.

Great restaurants, entertainment, and night time art market! Don't miss the jazz music! The marigny brasserie is a great place to start for dinner then go to The spotted cat for jazz, then art market open at 7pm. The hot dog shop has a friendly staff and good drinks too with a nice 2nd floor balcony.

A a lot calmer than bourbon street. Great live bands. Loved seeing the local artists at the art bazaar.

We had so much fun and great food. It was a private party and they made us feel so special. This really gives you a taste of New Orleans on so many levels. If you get a chance you need to stop in for a drink and snack!!!

We hosted our National Conference's opening reception at the House of Blues New Orleans and they made it such a special night for our attendees. From start to finish, they were amazing every step of the way: the sales manager Olivia was so thoughtful about our needs and goals, working with our budget and offering so many great ideas to make it a memorable celebration. The logistics manager Jeffrey worked closely with our conference manager to map out the floor plan and give us direction as we had over 1,000 people in attendance. The food was great, their music recommendations were amazing (we chose Rouge Krewe Band), and it was truly a spectacular night all around! (Photocred: Anthony LaMothe Photography)

I loved the House of Blues. This was my first time visiting the House of Blues and I enjoyed my experience. I have always wanted to go to the House of Blues in New Orleans and I am so glad I finally was able to visit. I came here with my family for our annual family reunion. We all had a great time. We came here on Thursday, July 17th, 2025. While we were there there was a concert going on as well.

Attended a private event at HOB, everyone and everything was outstanding. The food was excellent, especially the fish! The Hurricane cocktail was great and the band rocked it all night! Definitely put on the ToDo list to visit in NOLA!

Place is great but I dont know why but I have not been to a show yet that didnt start at least 30 minutes late. Not a big deal but when you're paying a pretty hefty price to park the extra time could end up getting you a boot.

Olivia and the team at HOB New Orleans were fantastic partners for our Annual Conference opening reception. Throughout the planning process, Olivia was prompt and thorough in her replies and made things feel very easy. On site, the team worked hard to make sure our attendees felt welcome (including hand mopping up the entrance during a rain storm!) and it really showed. Her recommended band, Wolf Johns was extremely well received and made the night even more special. Many thanks for a great event!

The food in the restaurant was excellent. The service was fantastic, especially Nico. The concert and all staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, we went back on Sunday and it was closed for a private party.

From the French 75 bar room (formerly the Grill Room) with its safari and tropical motif, the cocktails are courtesy of experienced mixologists. Erik was an attentive server, and knowledgeable about the offerings. For Dinner, we moved to the main dining room. The service was provided by particularly caring staff, expressive in their descriptions of dishes, listening to taste options while enticing guests toward specialty dishes. The turtle soup was spectacular. The Pompano, offered several different ways, were wonderful options. Wine through to dessert were enjoyable, as well.

The steaks and service was amazing. It is a high end restaurant with a decent selection of foods period one of the issues we had.You can see circled in one of the pictures was that the fish dish had this piece of what looked like a staple attached to it or something.I'm not sure what it was, but it was definitely not a part of the fish or it didn't belong there. They did offer to replace the fish dish. But it was towards the middle. So everyone else was already done. Eating by the time it was found. And it was taking off the bill, but I feel like being a party of 6 with a $600 bill. It should have been a little bit more of something done besides just taking a meal off that wasn't eaten . The banana foster's was a nice presentation, but by the time it was served to me.The ice cream was all melted and it was more like vanilla milkshake, with pieces of banana. The Tres leches cake was very dry it was nothing like i've ever had before and I'm hispanic so I know a hood tres leches. I was not a huge fan of it.

This was our second visit to Arnaud’s. Last year we dined in the Jazz Bistro. Once again a lovely dinner and evening. The food was wonderful! Presentation, service, everything first class. Your staff was superb. I recognized the woman who has been promoted to Captain from the bistro. I showed her our picture from last year and we had the same waiter! I manage a restaurant in a resort town and I enjoy experiencing and observing the operations of other restaurants.

Just had a fabulous dinner. Food, service, everything was 5 stars. Our server, Jasper, was amazing. Attentive, entertaining, all around great guy. The food was incredible- I only wish I had two stomachs. The oysters on the half shell and the baked variety were both excellent. The shrimp bisque was amazing- just wish it was served in a bread bowl of their delicious homemade bread. The duck with blueberry sauce was great combo of flavors and the duck was cooked perfectly. I also tried the filet (excellent) and the lightly fried fish with a flavorful brown gravy. Bananas foster for dessert was the perfect ending .

Great historic place. Food was good. The band played well. They walked to each table and played for them. I am not a fan of this. It feels creepy when they stand there while I'm trying to eat. Our appetizers were not great, but the meal was perfect. The fish were prepared perfectly and flavorful. Everything was reasonably priced. The room was loud, even when the band wasn't playing. Overall, it is worth going and experiencing.

Words cannot express how amazing our experience was at Arnaud’s!!! The crew there really went out of their way to make our time special and I would HIGHLY recommend them for a celebration. We went on May 25th for the Sunday jazz brunch, in case of a long wait we called and made a reservation ahead of time. It was for my bachelorette so my friends told the crew about it, the host and our waiter Aaron were incredibly nice and attentive the whole time, and every server did their best to explain the dishes and gave us recommendations for jazz clubs. The food was incredible, but the jazz band was just FANTASTIC!! They take ur request at the table, and after learning it was for my bachelorette and how much both my fiancé and I love jazz, they performed an extra song for me! Near the end of our brunch we were approached by the private host Justin and he offered to show us the museum upstairs (the museum itself is open to public but not greatly advertised). I won’t go into the details but they made a girl feel EXTREMELY SPECIAL and I would describe it as a once in a lifetime type of experience! 100/10 recommend Arnaud’s, will definitely be back next time we visit NOLA!!!

This was the first upscale dining experience in New Orleans for my fiance' and I, and it was everything we hoped for. Our service team of Justin, Sudeep, and Captain Sara were superb. Attentive but not smothering. Never too far and always available if needed. The perfect shining example of white glove service (without the actual white gloves). Now on to the food. In a word... perfection. We started by sharing the Chicken and Andouille Gumbo and it was fantastic. The perfect blend of spice and flavor. Everything we were looking for in a traditional gumbo. A wonderful start to the meal. For our entrees, after some wonderful discussion and guidance from Sara, my fiance had the Pompano David (a skin-on fish dish) and I had the Meuniere (a traditional French fish dish with a brown butter sauce). Both were exquisite and anyone who knows me and my love for a good steak should know that I ate every last bite of that fish. It was soooooo good! Amber loved hers as well. Oh, I almost forgot! As a side, we shared the souffle potatos. Ill just say.... we should have gotten our own orders. And you need to get them as well. Trust me! Desert followed of course and we shared a Chocolate Tahini Caramel Doberge as well as a personal Baked Alaska. The presentation of both was top notch but the flavors... another home run. Go here. Dont question it, make your reservation and enjoy the experience. You will be glad you did.

The Orleans Jazz and Blues Market is an amazing venue! The atmosphere, lighting, and sound system is perfect for a jazz and blues club. Every seat is a good seat with good visibility and audio. Super easy entry and exit. AND, they have some of the BEST acts lined up! Fantastic venue, highly recommended!

Seats and rows are not labeled which leads to confusion in locating seating which your ticket states. Venue is nicely appointed with great acoustics and sound system.

Excellent venue for jazz and blues. Great acoustics. Great service. I just wish they served food. Unfortunately, no food, just drinks. Not even snacks. Still 5 stars! Will go again.

Awesome venue to see artists perform. Very intimate with amazing acoustic. Friendly bartenders who good cocktails.

I don’t know who recommended bringing Smooth Jazz to the Jazz Market but I want to give them a “Big Hug”! Like really. The atmosphere is off the chain. No seat is a bad seat! Most of the time you would have to travel to see someone nice but to bring these great artists to New Orleans is off the chain! So far I have seen Stanley Jordan and Norman Brown. Two excellent artists!! I am very much looking forward to the next concert. Keep it coming coming Jazz Market!! I’m in Seven Heaven right now ❤️

Bought tickets to 6 shows. So far 3 cancelled and 1 (with low sales) postponed to April when it will be cancelled. So 2 to go that don't look particularly promising. I guess it's not the venue's fault that NO just isn't the great music town it likes to think it is.

Recently attended the 7pm Norman Brown concert on November 1. Wanted to give feedback on the sound mix. Started off terrible. It appeared that they didn’t do a sound check prior to the concert. Couldn’t hear the singers clearly. Drums, bass, keyboards and lead guitar were not balanced. It did improve somewhat as the concert progressed. Norman and the band were dealt a bad hand because of amateur sound mixing. As you can imagine, many who were there have attended concerts with sound mixing that was light years better. Both the audience and the band were robbed of what could have been a much better performance.

FIRST BAR WE HIT IN NOLA! And honestly couldn’t be happier. If this is what’s to come, I’m super stoked about our trip. We got decent priced drinks in a bar atmosphere that is our absolute FAVORITE and we got to check out Smoky Greenwell band. Awesome jazz band that hit on the harmonica! Love this spot and will DEFINITELY be back.

I did not attend anything there & ate. Basic beer selection to choose from. Share people would be fine with the selection they had. Especially with the amazing musicians that frequent these places. Amazing blues trio that was seen on 5 - 25-24

Tiny little bar with seating for maybe 10 and fantastic music. Sharing such a small space with the band and the other patrons adds to its charm.

We love this tiny little bar in the Marigny. Many locals know it as the bar under Adolfo’s Restaurant but the Apple Barrel Bar is plenty strong enough to stand on its on. Very good local live entertainment, good drinks and super friendly bar personnel make this tiny bar a destination for us. We think if you stop in for a drink, listen to some music you may feel the same. Nothing fancy just a cool little New Orleans bar.

Offbeat live jazz bar on Frenchmen with a classic interior. Good place to start or end a jazz crawl as there are so many great venues down this stretch.

Amazing bar with phenomenal music but there may be a roach infestation. We’ve come here multiple times before but as of recently, we have spotted several roaches at a time (and they fly).

Adolfo's is as good as it gets. Great food at reasonable prices. A must go whenever we are in New Orleans!!

New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park - A Great Introduction to the City's Musical Heart! I thought the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park was a fantastic starting point for visitors wanting to experience the city's legendary jazz scene. They offer free jazz performances, which I think is a wonderful way to get a taste of this amazing music. In addition to the music, they also have a small display that you can take a look at to learn a bit about the history of jazz in New Orleans. Established in 1994, the park aims to celebrate the origins and evolution of jazz. Located in the Tremé neighborhood, near the French Quarter, it serves as a place to learn about and experience this unique American art form. With its visitor center offering exhibits, ranger programs, and those great live music performances, it's a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in the cultural heritage of New Orleans.

The singer and the guitarist were really good and fun on Friday afternoon and Leslie Martin was an excellent pianist on Thursday afternoon, today this afternoon new Orleans rag festival have 2 old couples dancing with the music of Matt lennler +mark masakowski at 1420

Who knew we have a wonderful national park dedicated to Jazz. This is the only NP dedicated to music and all rangers are musicians. They do an excellent job of education on Jazz to the public. There is an active schedule of programs. We happened to see Richard "Piano" Scott spend an hour talking and demonstrating the differences in types of music. He was a crowd please and we all learned something. Make sure you check their event calendar.

If you have a National Parks passport, come here to get your stamp and then explore all the fascinating exhibits explaining the history, cuisine, and music of Louisiana. There is a significant audio component to many of the exhibits, which I enjoyed. They do also offer FREE live music performances every day, just ask what the day’s schedule is.

good live performers, pretty architecture, cool sculptures with information plaques, excessive stairs lollll but it’s hard to find a bathroom nearby (had to walk a block) and not many spots to sit down here.

Just a few brochures, small gift shop, and a room with seats and a stage. Not much else. If you like Jazz, or if you just want to get your passport stamp like me, stop in. Otherwise not really worth a visit

Great introduction to the city's jazz history. Check the schedule for one of the visitor's center's and museum's live interactive events. Visitor center is located in the French Market.

This is a high end bar on the second floor of The Windsor Court Hotel. Very cute boutique hotel with all of the amenities. The bar can be pretty loud when it’s busy. There is also a piano player in the evenings. Drinks are good and food is tasty as well. Nice and comfortable furniture to relax.

Great atmosphere. Beautiful property. Great drinks . Horrible table service. Super rude waitress will not be back if she is here. Visited on December 29th.

The food here was very delicious. John paul was very engaging and attentive. The atmosphere was upscale. Yet lay back. First-time experience at this location. Definitely recommend.

The Polo Club Lounge is a very nice place to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine in a quiet comfortable setting. Definitely an upper class environment. The service can be slow and a bit indifferent at times, but always polite. Seating is also a bit limited unless you arrive early. Overall worth a visit.

So, the Polo Club. No place quite like it, certainly not in NOLA. It’s a Lounge, not a bar. Don’t forget that. First, you sink into an oh so comfy chair or sofa. Second, cold water and a trio of snacks arrive. House made pork rinds included. On a silver server, WTH? I know. Go with it. You’ll be glad you did. A liquor list a mile long. Hand crafted cocktails. Have an favorite, like a grasshopper. They deliver, with a smile. Bar snacks? Certainly not...the menu goes all the way from caviar to deviled eggs. My favorite. The Charcuterie Board. Beautifully sourced and plated. Need something off menu. Ask, they’ll move heaven and earth. It’s in the Windsor Court, just this side of heaven.

The Polo Club Lounge is such a special place to have a drink in New Orleans. Located inside of the Windsor Court Hotel this establishment oozes class. It reminded me so much of the beloved 21 club in New York. (which is unfortunately still closed for now) We stayed at the Windsor Court Hotel for seven nights and made sure to stop down at the Polo Club Lounge every night we were there. The service was always great, the food is pretty good as well, but the ambiance here is what makes the Polo Club Lounge special.

Exceptional setting to enjoy a cocktail, a glass of champagne or wine or a light bite. This is one of well known hidden secrets of great live music entertainment in New Orleans. Polo Club is know for their exceptional service and never disappointing. I always come back and back again.

I came here for a quarterly team meeting with my workplace and the service was stellar. Everyone was so attentive and accommodating. My massage was a perfect 10/10. The staff are so kind and instantly make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Did I mention the lunch and snacks were super fresh, delicious and healthy? I can’t wait to go back! :)

I came here for a conference and my wonderful sister booked us a spa day and boy oh boy was it the best spa experience! From the way the staff communicated to ensure everything flowed smoothly .. to Linda C.’s warm southern hospitality- it was like an orchestra to the service we received from Star and Isabella. It was so awesome I came back a second time and had an amazing experience with Neka and Yen. Neka was great at anticipating my needs- for example I asked for water as I had a slight cough and she came back with water PLUS peppermint tea with honey before my service started. She was so personable and professional. Yen was able to accommodate my last minute request for a service - again with unpretentious relatability. I would fly here again JUST for this experience.

Celebrated a loved one's birthday recently and everything was amazing! The staff were so kind and attentive to our needs! The facility, with its spacious and well-kept design, made us feel comfortable and at ease. I enjoyed the amenities offered at this spa. The massage service received was incredible, and we highly recommend getting the citrus scrub. Special shoutout to all the staff who made our spa day spectacular!

Amazing experience!!! I’ve been to a bunch of spas and have had a lot of massages, but this topped the cake. My only regret is scheduling 50 minutes instead of 80 minutes. The lounge area is minimal but nicely done. The staff were great as well! I was able to book online, but it would be nice if you could select a specific Technician. Overall, I enjoyed the entire experience and can’t wait to book my next appointment!

Very high end spa with great massage therapists. The locker room is luxurious with really comfortable robes. The relaxation area could be better. Some snacks available but not a lot. The sauna and steam is nice and relaxing. They even let us keep our luggage for the day which was really kind.

Let's start by saying this was 1st encounter. I've wanted to stay at the property for some time now and why not in NOLA. This was absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully fragrant every where. Check in was seemless although the generated key through the app doesn't work as promised. The room was clean however small issues did arise. Being locked out assuming the key would work on my mobile was highly inconvenient. I had to wait for security to let me in. The remote for the TV was not working correctly unless you stood or held it a certain way. The spa, Chanel was wonderful in explaining the amenities and services. The dining, Lateria was an awesome hostess and went out of her way to make us comfortable and give us everything we needed. The hottub/jacuzzi was disappointing along with the pool with non working jets. There was construction going on with saw dust and noise as I tried to relax and the inside of the jacuzzi was visibly old. Definitely needs an upgrade. The check out was easy and when I explaining the issues, I was granted free breakfast. That was very nice.

Very clean. Everything was in good working order. I enjoyed my body treatment then the sauna, steam room, pool and whirlpool. Ate at the cafe and it was delicious. Will definitely be going back soon. The snacks and champagne were delicious as well.

The ambiance at the Carousel Bar is amazing unique and lively. The air conditioning is excellent, making it a comfortable spot to relax. The menu focuses mostly on cocktails, so it’s best for those looking for a good drink experience rather than a wide food selection.

Such a great experience at the Carousel Bar & Lounge! This is the perfect hangout spot for professionals or anyone looking to unwind in a classy, laid-back setting. The ambience was chill and inviting, with a live band that set the perfect tone for the night. The atmosphere overall was lively but still comfortable you could relax, enjoy good conversation, and soak in the energy of New Orleans. Of course, the highlight is the carousel bar itself it slowly spins as you sip your drink, which was such a fun and unique experience! The vibe here is truly unmatched. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this spot is an absolute must when in New Orleans.

Absolutely incredible experience! A local recommended this place and I’m so glad we listened. The Carousel Bar & Lounge exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is pure magic - from the beautifully crafted cocktails served in elegant cut crystal glasses to the stunning circular bar with its ornate details and vintage charm. The bartenders are true artists who know their craft inside and out. Every drink was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The live jazz performance under the gorgeous crystal chandeliers with ambient purple lighting created such an intimate, sophisticated vibe. The lounge seating is comfortable and the whole space has that classic New Orleans elegance you dream about. The staff was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The unique rotating bar concept adds such a fun element to the experience. This is exactly the kind of place that makes New Orleans special. Whether you’re a visitor or local, The Carousel Bar & Lounge is an absolute must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended for cocktail lovers, jazz enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an unforgettable New Orleans experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stopped by the Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone and had such a great experience! The atmosphere is beautiful and unique — definitely a must-visit spot in New Orleans. I ordered a drink at the bar, and my server, Stephanie, was super friendly and attentive. She made the experience even better! Great service, great vibes, and amazing cocktails. I’ll definitely be back!

A must visit! The cocktails are made by proper bartenders who know what they are doing. Ours were fantastic. The rotating bar is fantastic, and the bar sits inside a beautiful hotel, which is also worth a look.

Obviously, this bar has a well-know main attraction. But the secret to a good time here can also involve simply ordering a plate of beignets and a glass of champagne for a night cap after dinner in the quarter. Either way, the service and atmosphere is second to none.

We only had cocktails. I had the French 007 ...it was delicious. Great atmosphere and good band playing. It's a novelty trip place. I recommend.

Musical Legends Park is such a nice break from the usual chaos of Bourbon Street. It’s an open-air courtyard with live jazz, plenty of seating, and a really relaxed vibe. You can grab a coffee or a drink from Café Beignet and just enjoy the music without needing a reservation or a cover charge. The live band was fantastic—super talented and clearly having fun. It’s not too loud or too packed, so you can actually sit and have a conversation while listening. There are statues of New Orleans music legends around the space, which gives it a nice local touch.

Awesome place for some free live music with a lot of seats. There is a café and a bar. The bar has affordable drinks but some of the stuff is pre made so it’s a hit and miss. I’ve had awesome blood Mary’s here but also had watery/meh ones. Staff could start washing their hands before shoving the garnishes in the cups tho, or at least use utensils for that.

Musical Legends Park is a nice little seating area to take a break and relax on Bourbon Street! There are some really neat historical signs and statues, and a lot of times there is some live music! There are a lot of tables and it is a cute, quaint little area to take a break and enjoy the jazz, or even grab another!!

This wonderful jazz park features a coffee shop and a cocktail bar. The band begins playing at 10:00 AM and continues into the late evening. Please note that the hours listed on Google Maps are not entirely accurate.

It's a beautiful place to visit however it was very loud and crowded. Even with that being said we were able to get our food fast and the staff was very friendly. Other than people being on top of each other( we went back after a few hours and it was a little better) and smell of urine surrounding you it was great.

Nestled on Bourbon St...this little park with live jazz singing while you're eating a caramel pecan beignet is a treat! You'll forget you're on Bourbon with the rest of the crowd!

Good music, good drinks and beignets. Great place to stop and get some food and drink.

Must do if you’re visiting New Orleans and interested in learning about the origins of jazz, and its deep roots in African American and New Orleans history. After visiting the museum, you could go to Congo Square and Louis Armstrong Park to immerse yourself in this iconic venue where it all began. We skipped the ground floor US Mint exhibition (the building was formerly the US Mint) and went straight to the first floor jazz exhibitions. Informative, diverse pieces including photographs, instruments and music snippets and good storytelling connecting them. Should be enhanced by numbering the sections, or marking a tour path - so visitors know where to start and which direction to go in, to follow the developments chronologically, which is confusing currently. Free jazz concerts in the courtyard at 5 pm if you’re there!

This was an unexpected stop for us while visiting New Orleans. It was very enjoyable and we learned about the city and how banks were run back in the day. The preservation of the culture, music, and people was well presented. The bottom floor was a US mint museum and upstairs was the jazz. It also happened to be free when we visited.

We visited a free jazz concert. The band was really good. They have professional concert room. The exposition is great too. Nice to visit such a place to touch the history of jazz and give credit to modern live jazz music.

Best for people who really love music, but if you do it’s wonderful. Smallish and easy to see in 1 hour or so. The Drumsville exhibit was a nice bonus. Learned quite a bit. So funky. The mint exhibit was a bit strange but still informative

We visited Jazz museum during our visit to New Orleans. It was my first time visiting the city and the French quarters. I loved it. We liked the museum too. I was not very familiar with jazz culture but I learned a lot during my visit to museum. The third floor had a stage with live performing artists. And we enjoyed that too. We visited New Orleans during the French quarters festival and defiantly would love to come again.

Give this a miss. How can a jazz museum - in New Orleans! - have so little info about Jazz music. There are just some pictures hanging on the wall. This could be a great location for an actual museum chronicling the rich history of Jazz music but it's a big disappointment. Walk a few blocks to the east to Frenchman Street on any evening and get a taste of some actual Jazz music instead. Pictures are from Frenchman St.

Interesting visit. The first floor is the history of New Orleans mint. The second store is the jazz museum. The third floor sometimes has performances, but not every day.

Lovely place and great music. We came here during the day with kids and were able to sit down and listen to 2 bands. Food was great as well as cocktails.

Nice restaurant and jazz club on Frenchman Street. Was nice to sit and enjoy a meal along with alive band. Service was very attentive. Portions were good prices reasonable. The salad was very fresh and flavorful. The jambalaya was good but was overly salty. I don't know whether it was intentionally salty or it was salted to increase the purchase of drinks. But anyway that was the only negative point of this experience. Very nice club just be cautious that the food might be overly salty. Especially for you people with high blood pressure.

We explored the Frenchmen street and wanted to visit a bar with live music. We selected Bamboula’s as we liked a lady singing. That was the best part. The band made really good show, pretty loud. The restaurant has some options for Cajun cuisine. We selected meat gumbo and crab cake. Gumbo was nice. Crab cakes were 2 burger-like pieces of something minced and little spicy (I can’t state whether it has a crab or not). We took couple of beers, they serve only bottled ones. I can’t say that was something notorious. I would say ~70$ for 2 dishes + drinks is quite pricey. The restroom was not great. But they had soap and paper.

Food, fantastic. Get oysters for sure. We got oysters almost every single day in NOLA and these were probably the best. Atmosphere and music, amazing. Especially the Halloween decorations. The service was alright. We got there before it got too busy and because we were sat in the back area I feel like we were kinda forgot about for a while. It wasn’t horrible but it was not that southern hospitality. Be warned; you can not split checks here. That was definitely a downside. But would go back for the food and music. Also, my mint julep wasn’t muddled which I found a bit strange. Muddled it myself with my straw.

Absolutely fantastic place. We saw the show or ‘Sugar and Daddies’ and it was absolutely great on Sunday night. Recommend this place absolutely Four stars because the cocktails weee not authentic. I saw the sazecar being made, it wasn’t great. I know how to make the cocktail and it wasn’t close

Burgers are good, music is great. We had to wait for our food for awhile but we came at a pretty busy time so that’s expected. Tracy was our server and she was super sweet. She had good recommendations and was very nice.

Has the best atmosphere of anywhere I've eaten in NOLA so far. The band playing was fantastic (if a little bit loud), and the food was some of the best we've had. I got the oyster begnetes while my mom got the Oyster New Orleans, and we shared the goat cheese balls. It was all fantastic. The service was a little slow, but it was very busy, and our server was kind and very friendly. 10000% would return and recommend to others.

This was our first stop in NOLA because it was late and they were open later than most spots. I love that they had vegan options. I had the vegan banger which was good. Etouffe fries were not what I expected. A little crispier than we would’ve liked (and I actually like my fries crispy) My kids eat basic so the lil beefy was a basic hotdog perfect for them. My teenager liked her grilled chicken sandwich. My hubby liked his cheesy bacon ranch fries and rougarou and the local beer jucifer. My mom and youngest daughter said the shrimp was fried too hard so she didn’t eat her poboy. Great service from the guys working there. My family of 6 ate for about $20 a person.

We got the Chicago dog and the flying pig. Both were great! I thought the fries were way too crispy and oily but the partner liked them. Atmosphere is pretty cool. A few booths and a bar to sit at with lots of alcohol options. The staff is kind of just hanging around, in the way sometimes. But quick to clean up and/ or serve you.

Went here tonight after finally arriving for our honeymoon. Food was AWESOME!! I got the etoufee dog and my husband got the son of a saint dog which a portion of proceeds goes to the children’s hospital! So delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful! Definitely recommend making the stop here.

One hour wait for 2 hotdogs! I mean, the hotdogs are great, but... one hour wait? Go to the upstairs bar. Much quicker service.

The hot dog was tasty and perfectly fresh made. It lasts a bit long and the inner side is not as funny created than the windows. Also it was the first time in this franchise zo I can not compare it, but all of us we enjoy the dog.

Lively, loud music, happy and friendly staff. The best brat I have ever had, hands down! Plenty of variety. SO GOOD!! Highly recommended.

It's always one of the best places to eat in the city. Plus, it's on frenchmen street. It's just the coolest spot. I took my girlfriend there for her first time yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The only slight letdown was when I asked if they had all the makings for a Paloma, and she told me no, but upon looking, they did or least a bastardized one. Grapefruit juice works just fine. Will always be back there though.

If you haven't been to Molly's, you haven't truly experienced New Orleans. A true local landmark with great people watching and NOLA memorabilia throughout. And of course, the Frozen Irish Whiskey! Try doing an add of the Peanut Butter Whiskey - you can thank me later. A really friendly staff and great location.

Tucked away just beside the French Market in the heart of the French Quarter, Molly's at the Market is a small, unassuming watering hole that offers one of the best-kept secrets of New Orleans—the Frozen Irish Coffee. While Erin Rose Bar may have popularized this delightful drink, Molly's has truly perfected it. If you’re a fan of day drinking, or just need a refreshing pick-me-up during your Bourbon Street adventures, Molly's is a must-visit. Their Frozen Irish Coffee is simply unbeatable. The balance between creamy smoothness and a generous kick of alcohol is perfect. You can taste the richness of the coffee, but it’s not overpowering. The creamy texture is velvety, and you’re never left wondering if there’s enough booze in the mix—there absolutely is! To top it off, the drink is crowned with a swirl of crushed coffee beans, adding a fun, crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, icy beverage. It’s not just delicious; the presentation is a treat for the eyes too. Whether you're looking to kick off a day of bar-hopping or need a bit of a refresher in the middle of your Bourbon Street bar tour, this frozen concoction is the quintessential drink. Molly’s version stands out for its smooth execution and the unique twist on a classic, making it a memorable part of any New Orleans outing. Whenever I’m in town, stopping by Molly’s is a mandatory stop. The vibe is laid-back, the drinks are top-notch, and the atmosphere feels authentic to the spirit of the French Quarter. If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a frozen Irish coffee at Molly's—it’s a refreshing and indulgent way to experience a true New Orleans classic!

Exactly the type of hole in the wall place that you would miss without good word of mouth. No food, but a full bar with AMAZING DRINKS. The Irish Coffee (frozen) is like a lightly coffee-flavored vanilla milkshake. We have enjoyed it with an added shot of either cookie dough whiskey or butterscotch moonshine each time. We have felt compelled to come back every single day of our week-long trip. Worth it!

The frozen Irish coffee really is the thing to get. A friend suggested it and she wasn’t wrong. It’s delicious and at $7, a great treat.

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary and we had been walking a lot, it was hot. Let me tell you that adult milkshake is the best thing ever! We loved the staff and everything about Molly’s! A must stop for anybody wanting a fantastic drink and local feel.😎👍

Immersed in the heart of the New Orleans experience since 1974, Molly's at the Market stands as an enduring cornerstone, drawing in a diverse crowd and becoming the preferred destination for locals reconnecting with visiting friends. strategically located on lower Decatur, Molly's serves not only as a convenient pit stop for those en route to or from the music clubs on Frenchmen Street but also as a haven where patrons happily extend their stay for hours on end. This establishment is a beacon of laid-back ambiance and exceptional service, effortlessly embracing simplicity in its cocktail offerings. While Molly's tantalizes taste buds with affordable concoctions, it predominantly remains a beer and chaser haven, boasting an impressive selection of local brews on draught. As the cherished old bar of the neighborhood, Molly's sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. With taps flowing well into the wee hours of the morning, it guarantees a classic New Orleans watering hole adventure, ensuring that anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable time will find it within the welcoming embrace of Molly's at the Market.

Omg you have to try there frozen Irish cream coffee! Easily the best coffee Iv ever had, you couldn’t taste the alcohol so if you want it boozy I would recommend an extra shot. Kids are not allowed in there but my hubby ordered me one to go while I waited out side.

We had a great time taking in music on the various stages. Vendor selection was a nice variety of cultures and representation.

These photos are from the historic Treme community of New Orleans. It is the oldest Black neighborhood and the birthplace of jazz. It offers a rich cultural history that includes an African American Museum, Jazz Museum, multiple historic landmarks, and several popular restaurants like Lil Dizzys Cafe and Dooky Chase. Enjoy.

There's no better festival than Jazz & Heritage fest. Food booths are beyond fantastic. So many different music options in every time slot. Parades. & The kindest most fun people in the country!

Absolutely amazing! People and food! Great hospitality!

Such a cool place with beautiful art. They have classes for kids and also have security.

No excuse for having so few water stations. Far too much emphasis on selling alcohol. Very overpriced food and drink. Good effort to keep it clean and the tents were great. Staff did the best they could to keep aisles clear. Music variety very strong. Video displays of big acts was good. Overall very commercial feeling detracts from the musicians.thank God for Blue Bikes for transport. New Orleans needs to fix the streets. They suck!

A crash course in New Orleans culture, music, food, and drink.

Ordered lunch special, the portions were huge and food was good, just a little too salty for my taste. It’s a hookah place so keep that in mind. Pay them a visit.

Denise took care of us, and she was amazing! We found this hookah spot during a rain storm, and were glad we did . The hookah was great, and not very expensive. The food was also tasty. Would recommend this place for hookah, food, and drinks.

The best part about this location is the atmosphere in the drink. The food is awful. I got a shrimp pasta the shrimp smells and taste like a sore drain calamari was fried hard as hell. You could knock somebody out if you threw it. The fish was not seasoned.

Was looking for a chill place to vibe at after dinner and this was the perfect spot. We didn’t get food or drinks but the hookah was so good! Not harsh or anything. They also have great prices. I recommend them for a nice end of the night vibe. They had good music too!

Really calm and collective vibe. The hookah is good too. The menu gives a solid breakdown of how you want your hookah made which is a big plus in my eyes. They are average price for drinks/food however.

Came here with a friend celebrating my bachelorette party. Food was outstanding, service quick and hookah really tasty. They treated us with a celebratory cake, which was super nice and unexpected. Amazing place with great music. Will definitely come back!

We stopped in one night of Superbowl week, was able to walk right in and be seated. It did take a while to order but they were pretty busy. I ordered the chicken kabobs. The meat was tender very flavorful, the Marinade they used was great! The sautéed veggies taste great to, it contained mostly mushrooms and broccoli. I was a nice size portion, I didn't even get to eat the mashed potatoes. The music was a vibe to enjoy at night. A girlfriend ordered the fried cheese and did not like it!

This is one of the best Irish Pubs in the world. Marsha is the best bartender. She made it a great experience. There’s no happy hour because all the drinks are happy hour prices 24/7. A great idea to call in for a pint & a pour or Irish Whiskey.

Party dive bar. Great place to grab a drink while everyone else is in the more club like spots. Bartender was friendly and fast. Crowd was having a great time. Love all the little decorative details in this spot. Irish because they have and Harp but don't expect anything else that's not domestic. Bathroom exists but use at own risk. If you are hanging in this area you probably don't mind just happy to have one. Overall I liked Boondocks, just a solid small bar with solid vibes.

Friendly bartenders and great selection of local beers! In French Quarter near everything. Police badges on ceiling was so awesome! 💙

Mechele is an incredible bar tender. Super attentive and quick behind the bar. The bar has an incredible vibe lined with first responder patches and memorials of regulars that have passed on. Great place to have a drink and connect with some locals. Get the Guinness and just sit for a while, can’t go wrong.

Best little bar off Bourbon, especially if you love the Boondock Saints movie - it’s always playing!

Recently traveled to New Orleans as a surprise birthday trip for the husband, including unexpected family joining us! He and I had such a great time the day before, thanks to Marsha, we bright the whole the next day. Thanks for all amazing experience, we love Marsha! 🍻

Hung out here while waiting to get in to Preservation Hall. Awesome pour of Guinness. Very laid back away from the noise of Bourbon St. (but not far away) Awesome place

Lovely place! Nice outdoor sitting. Great beers.

Parleaux gave us a great excuse to explore a part of town we wouldn't have otherwise seen, so kudos for that alone! They were short staffed the day we went, but the woman managing the counter was extremely helpful and friendly. Cozy family-oriented beer garden. I tend to prefer more experimental brews so the selection wasn't quite to my tastes, but there were some solid choices if you like more standard styles!

Laid-back brewery with friendly staff. Had the Kolsch and it was smooth and easy to drink. Large area for kids to roam as well with fresh fruit and vegetables growing.

Somehow I've hung out on this area for years but have never come here before. Mostly because I'm not usually around this way until after they've closed, but they've been on my list for awhile. Crawfish Saturday's gave me the opportunity to make that happen. While I wasn't supposed to be drinking, it's hard not to have crawfish and not drink a beer. So I had a couple of head in the sky's, which was perfect for those fire crawfish. We found a bench in the shade and sipped and talked while we waited for our grub. It was a nice afternoon and everyone was having a good time. I'll need to come back both for the beer and the crawfish, crucial seafood was legit.

On our way out of town and didn’t want to fight to the crowds in the middle of the French Quarter but wanted to find some good craft beer. This place did not disappoint. We did 2 flights and were able to sample each beer that was offered. Ended up having a nice wine glass of the barrel aged blueberry sour and a pint of the WC Pale Ale. Great atmosphere. Shared some Mardi Gras familiarities with some locals, grabbed some stickers and were on our way. Great beer and laid back atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Good people, great beer. Quality brewing including proper mixed ferm sours. Nice outdoor seating area.

Wow, what a surprise - the beer aficionado's brewery to visit away from the touristy part of town. Focusing heavily on mixed fermentation (read: tart/brett styles) and saisons, with a smattering of enough others to satisfy groups. Serene outdoor area, except when the trains go right by the door (such is life). And a great value. Loved it.

The Music Box had everything we were looking for in a wedding venue! The space was fun for guests to explore, gave kids stuff to do, provided a beautiful backdrop for photos—and the connected warehouse offered a much-needed rain contingency plan. We paid extra to hire the "house band," a group of musicians that play the musical structures that dot the landscape inside. Their performance during cocktail hour really blew our guests away! The bar manager designed some specialty cocktails that were absolutely delicious. And the ability to bring in the caterer of our choice helped us make sure the experience was exactly what we wanted to share with our friends and family. The sound was incredible and literally every detail was perfect. Cannot recommend this venue enough!

We went as soon as they opened and it was such a peaceful place! Lots of musical stuff to explore, a vintage (more like an “old stuff only”) warehouse in the back, a bar (drinks were very meh tho), clean bathrooms. A nice place to spend a couple hours relaxing if you are lucky to go when there are no kids running around. Otherwise if you go in noisy hours it would still be a cool place to hangout with a group of friends. I did think $25 entrance fee is pricy for what it is tho.

Second time visiting, two very different but very amazing experiences. First was an open hours where you have the opportunity to wander and explore all the fun things. The second and most recent visit was during a Mother’s Day market, which was such a cool experience with all the vendors throughout the grounds. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Such a cute venue! We went for a MIT reunion and got to explore the place - it's a bit small but there are ample structures to explore for about 30 min - 1 hour and it's fun to catch up with people while climbing the treehouses. Live music was great! Downside was that some of the exhibits were broken, about 30% of them, so it felt like we only got a taste of what the place had to offer. The food was okay - I liked the breakfast buffet course they had there but it had a lot of cheese so it upset my stomach.

Fantastic place to go. Everything you touch is created to play music. Even to the railing up stairs. If you go make sure to touch everything, I guarantee you won't he disappointed. We took our three kids and they had a ball. Plus we got to see some amazing live bands as well. Such a hidden treasure and really friendly staff bringing it all together.

A friend of mine wanted to take me here after she had previously taken her cousins. My nephews tagged along and we all had an awesome time. Creative musical uses of broken and old parts of an array of items. The rustic colors and doors add something extra special to this location. I’m disappointed that I had never heard anything about it previously. Another must see spot here in New Orleans. I will definitely visit again.

This out of the way and a bit hard to find Village is worth the adventure finding it. Built by Artisans who makes small houses that are each their own musical instrument is open to the public on special days for everyone to play. Outside, they had a wonderful little artist Market with lots of unique items. Admission was free and once you go in be sure to go to the bar to get a delicious cocktail. We had two! Then roam around and play all the instruments.

Good variety of Norlens food, both slow cooked and fast food. Drink variety was good. The best part of coming here was the entertainment. The live band was terrific. There was a $5 cover charge per person for the band. They did a great job and we fronted another decent sized tip in the bucket that had upfront on stage before we left.

It is not a mystery to me why this restaurant is so well rated. From the moment I saw the food arrive, to the last bite, I was satisfied. This is also a great place to be adventurous and try the local foods you have never tried. The music was good too of course. This was the first place I tried shrimp and grits, and still am thinking about how good it was. 🥘🦞🍣

Fantastic place !! Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Service was very good ( thank you Ben, our waiter). Go for dinner with the live music ! A true New Orleans experience. Chucky C ( Chuck Elam) and the band were fantastic and so much fun !

Overall this is very good and by hands done the best service we had in NOLA. Thank you Sara for being so prompt and attentive. The food was amazing! We had the grilled shrimp, then ribs and pulled pork. Top notch. We even tried the deviled eggs with crawfish. The first band we heard was so good and felt truly like blues. But, when the house band played and had the crowd dancing to the "oldies" it turned a little to commercial for us. Great atomsphere and great service with good food. Luck of the draw on the band.

Delicious FOOD, Eclectic atmosphere! Everything on the menu was delicious and the service was efficient. The band was awesome, a welcome rest stop with cool air and cold beer. when trudging through the French Quarter!!!

This is an Amazing place!!!! It opens until 11 which was awesome and the reason I camr in because I had work until 8 and needed a late dinner. Paid 3$ for one of the best shows of my life. Live music, the group is amazing and will kick the tiredness out of you in 5 min. The singer is the best!!! What an amazing lady 😄 everyone was dancing and having a great time on a Wednesday night! I want to move to New Orleans now! 😄 food was amazing, service too. Overall one of the best places I've been and I plan to go back when I'm back in New Orleans

Such a fun place! Its downtown New Orleans but it's a more calm and fun environment, instead of a roudy drunk crowd. The wait staff was super nice. When we arrived we didnt know we needed a reservation (our cab driver told us about this place) so when we showed up we were on the waitlist. They said 45-60 minutes. We waited almost 1.5 hours. They used open table and texted us so we were able to walk around to near by shops. The food was GREAT! I got the ribs and fried pickles. Both were amazing! Our waitress was great! The band that played was amazing ($5 cover charge) and the singers were great!
