Don’t know anything about the food but the bar is awesome. Great bands and no cover. Great local beers. Try the NOLA Blonde Ale. Bartenders are great and tend to everyone. Don’t like the hipster lames at the Spotted Cat, come party with some REAL peeps!

Found this place as we were walking on Frenchmen Street. Great music pulled us in. It was really crowded but we managed to get a couple of stools at the bar. Had a few beers and met some fun people. The band was amazing! Will definitely return.

A surprisingly small, intimate joint to enjoy some amazing live music. Though I wish I could have stopped for some food, the entire place and bar were jam-packed, standing room only. However, I didn’t really care. The jazz was good, the crowd was good(a large portion of them seemed to be locals), and I actually felt like I was apart of a great and unique music experience. I bet reggae night here is kick-ass. A definite recommend!

Recently returned to Café Negril for my needed dose of live reggae, only to be sadly disappointed. Usually, Higher Heights puts on an amazing show but this time the format changed completely. I don’t know if it was a permanent switch but the group played a lot more contemporary/pop reggae mash-ups and stopped entirely too much for mini dance-offs by patrons(which usually isn’t bad when done sparingly). Completely changed the vibe and wound up leaving after just an hour(usually we’d stay to the wee end, lol). Pretty disappointing.

The catfish tacos here brought me back to life at 1 am. So damn good. I was in heaven during the 10 minutes it took to gobble up those three tacos(3 for $ 12 btw). On to the actual music/venue: No cover. Chill place. Good vibes. The music was excellent the two nights we came in here. Definitely check this place out if you’re on Frenchmen!

Really fun, large bar on Frenchmen with lots of locals and good, diverse music. Bottled beers are pretty cheap and plenty of space for dancing. A big bonus here is the delicious fish tacos… Mmmm

Another larger spot along Frenchmen. Plenty of space in both the back and the front. A stage off to the side. A band playing catchy tunes that you can’t help but move to. Cheap drinks… And food! A whole slew of Mexican options in the back, along with pizza(because pizza is everywhere at all times). The drinks were strong and cheap. The music good. I didn’t try any food but they had something that was a quesadilla and burrito rolled into one. Next time I’m in NOLA, I’ll grab me one of those.

We stumbled in here on Halloween night 2015 after seeing they offered a more extensive menu than the pizza that was being served by the slice outside. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, barbacoa pork quesarito, and 2 hurricanes. I still think back to this night and wish I could find another place back home here in California that serves deliciously fresh Mexican food with a slow, chill vibe. I was literally dancing in between bites. I am definitely coming back here the next time I’m in NOLA.

The biggest jerk I’ve met in New Orleans runs the food counter. They ran out of what I wanted to order so I asked for a recommendation. The guy couldn’t be bothered to answer a simple question. Too forever to even place an order and when it finally arrived they didn’t give me what I ordered. What did I get? More rudeness. If the place wasn’t on Frenchman Street I don’t think they’d get any business. People in New Orleans are friendly. This was the opposite of that. Very disappointed.

Review is for bar service and music, we didn’t eat here. The bartender was good, friendly and helpful, and the music great. Only caught about 40 minutes of the Dana Abbott band and they were great. Stayed and heard Higher Heights for a couple of hours because we got bar stools(luck). Great vibe and music.

This is my favorite place in the Frenchmans quarter. The band was by far the best I heard that night. They were playing some killer jazz and were very interactive. Although the crowd contained several douche bags who were giving them a hard time, the band played them well. The bartender was good and attentive. The only reason I’m not giving this place more stars is because I left feeling a bit ripped off. Although they don’t charge a cover, there’s something weird going on. Two bottles of beer that are $ 3.50 everywhere else on the same drag and a Coke cost about $ 17. Kind of pissed me off.

The band was great!!! I love the atmosphere and most importantly, it’s not too crowded on a Friday night. We stopped by on a Friday while walking around the Frenchmen area and it was the only place that does not charge a cover. Although the drinks are quite expensive($ 6 a beer), I still think we may stop by just for the music!

This was my second stop in Frenchman St. I must say that I was disappointed that they did not play one reggae song at all. However, being a fan of live music they did have a band. The crowd was cool but some seemed into the music and some did not. Drinks were decent busy as in any bar do not leave your drink unattended. Someone in my parties drink may have been tampered with as unknowingly her drink was left unattended as she thought someone in the group was watching it. Her behavior took a turn and as a group we departed the club. Overall, I wouldn’t say it’s a must but worth checking out if your in the area.

The first place that we stopped at on our first night. We literally dropped our bags and walked over to Frenchmen street. There were so many options to choose from but late at night we could snag a chair here and have a drink. We were super bummed the kitchen was closed because the menu looked good. The band here was hilarious last Wednesday and we instantly felt welcomed by Nola.

They have some good Latin and Caribbean food here along a few random food items like pizza thrown in. Live music and no cover charge usually makes this a main stop on any tour of Frenchmen Street. They have more expensive drinks than DBA or Blue Nile so I guess they incorporate a cover charge with their increased drink prices. There is generally a good crowd here with an energetic vibe so a fun spot to check out typically.

If you are following the choose-your-own adventure series that are my reviews– you will remember that this was 2nd dinner– after Three Muses small plates– my meat and potatoes friend decided it was time for some FOOD. Burrito Joint on Frenchman street in the middle of the street bands, restaurants and basically, the best block party. This is a live music venue, great stage, great bar, great divey food. GOOD: chicken, shrimp, pork– burritos, tacos, taco salads and quesadillas made to order. Pizza– because who doesn’t want a slice of pizza. The hot sauce options are amazing. Like so good. Less Good: maybe in the light of day, this is not your first choice. It is definitely a after the main event hang out.

Live experience. Met some really groovy people there… Our second experience there wasn’t as fun as the first tho so we ended up leaving early for another spot.

Frenchman Street clubs are cool. This one is a fun place to stop in, We saw several good bands here, that played some good, danceable music. There was no cover and we had a nice time.

Great late night stop for music, some lite-bites & a lil sippy sippy on the bubbly. I had the pleasure of most recently stopping in for a spell after a music concert. The live band that was on stage was quite lively & apparently the crowd was feeling the music or maybe the booze because there was a whole lot of dancing going on. The food counter is just beyond the bar & appropriately so. I like the high bars & the other table & chair set up; it provides for a more concert like setting. Grab a bite & take a load off. It’s truly hard to balance a drink & eat food all while liquored up. No cover, which is always a plus & definitely a draw. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on the food as I only had drinks on this visit, but I plan to go back, maybe a different band, more dancing & food to boot.
