    This was such a fun bar and possibly my favorite spot on Bourbon! It is Western themed, and it really leans into this (for example, the bar seats are crafted as adorable horse saddles!) There's a ton to do in this bar as well aside from milling around with a drink, from a mechanical bull to corn hole. My friends and I all tried the bull, which was fun and felt safe. It was $10 for two tries per person. Service was really friendly and fun as well.

    Creepy guy recording girls on the bull ride, when we asked him to stop he got heated and we started recording him. got kicked out for recording him lol. Fun bull rides though! $10 for two rides!

    This bar was super fun! There's two dance floors plus a courtyard area. Our group of 5 had a blast. They teach line dancing, have bull riding, photo opportunities, game areas and good drinks. Bathrooms were small but clean. Staff was great. I think we might come back to this one if in the area again.

    3.5 seconds bull ride!

    Cliff Notes Price Range: $ Parking: Looked painful, but unknown since we walked Perk: The bull and pictures waiting to be taken Non-Perk: They allow smoking in the doorway upstairs, so it might as well be a smoking bar Ambiance: Country Noise: A tad loud, but music selections were on point Temperature: A little hot and muggy Recommend: Yes Dissertation We strolled into the joint with excitement bubblin' like a freshly opened beer can. The place has a country charm, complete with saddle chairs, beautiful country music loudly blaring in all parts of the building as well as the barrels and wagon wheels throughout. They had a mechanical bull upstairs so we decided to give it a whirl - I only lasted about 3.5 seconds, just enough to grab a picture and fall off! The drinks were as strong as the bull's kick so I left with glee in my step and a big grin on my face. The only two nuances were: A) The music was way too loud for such a small space, especially upstairs and B) They allow smoking in the doorway upstairs, so those that smoked might as well be sittin' on your lap. Other than that, we had a lot of fun... so if you want a Boot' Scootin' good time, head on over!

    BULL Riding, Cornhole, Giant connect 4, this is my kind of bar, where you get to do so many things, of course all alongside getting boozed. There's 2nd floor balcony to watch the crowd and throw some beads at them. If lucky you get flashed sometimes, IYKYK :P We went to the club on a quite Monday night. It was mostly empty. So we all piled on the bull ride thats on 2nd floor. You get 3 rounds, each last about 30s~60s based on your skills. It costs around $5 per ride. Really fun thing to experience, but high chances injuries, so take it easy, cause you sign the waiver before you get on the bull. On the chill side, there's cornhole, connect 4 and few other games next to the bar in first floor. The first floor bar is massive. There's a smaller bar on second floor as well. Servers are nice and friendly.

    Oh my goodness! How I needed some Morgan Whalen and saddles to belly up to a bar. It was early and mostly empty but oh so much fun! The country favorites flowed from the juke box (?) but wait the cold very cold beer was necessary. Our bartender was precious and very accommodating. We drank cooled off danced by our saddle bar stools and had 1 more for the road! So much fun. Unfortunately we never made it back to partake in some boot scootin line dancing. Until next time..

    Great country bar!! I think we had the most fun at this bar. I also liked how they kept doing line dance lessons throughout the night which is very unique compared to other country bars I have been to!

    Nice place, went in and looks like it can be a hopping place when it is full. Very clean and has a mechanical bull upstairs.

    Had a great time dancing! The dance floor is small, but worked for us. The deejay played some fun line dance music & they taught a line dance, as well. The drinks were rather pricey. I guess that's to be expected in the French Quartet. Overall, it was a fun experience!

    We were hesitant because there were only a few people sitting at the bar when we walked in. It…read moreturned out that was the band, which meant it was just the two of us girls, so we decided we'd just have a drink and see what happens. It was 2 p.m. afterall, so not a lot of people were out in general. Turns out the band was great! Then people started trickling in and there was a good crowd enjoying the music with us. We had a great time, chatted with other patrons and a few of the band members. Good drinks, prices are on the higher end at ~$15, but still affordable. I had a Pimm's cup which was refreshing, they are served in souvenir to go cups that are really cute. Glad we decided to stay! A great time was had.

    Before I start, this is my review based on my experience. I've noticed some people complain about…read morethe music, paying the cover charge, seating or the size of the venue. I'm not here to argue any of those points. I will say this: expecting live musicians to perform for free until you decide whether they're worth paying is ridiculous. The cover is usually only $5...$10 max. If that's a dealbreaker, this probably isn't your place. Stay home and stream Spotify. Now... I have some friends in town, and whenever that happens, a Monday night trip to the Spotted Cat is basically mandatory. I've been coming here for years and years. Yes, it's super touristy now, but it still gives me the warm fuzzies every time I walk through those doors. So I'm presenting the "compliment sandwich" review. Never heard of it? You start with a compliment, slip in some constructive-ish criticism, then end with another compliment. Supposedly people receive feedback better that way. Let's see. First, the music. Outstanding. Chris Christy wasn't what I thought I wanted to hear until I actually heard him. I felt completely transported. Man, can that guy play the guitar. It felt kinda like gypsy music. Then came the Frenchmen Street Allstars. The last time I saw them, they had a different lead singer and, honestly, they kind of felt like a completely different band, aside from the phenomenal drummer. This version did not disappoint. It was a great mix of jazz and New Orleans standards. Both bands were great! **Now a note to management.** Great music isn't enough. The bar should be every bit as memorable as the stage. Forgive me, I didn't get the bartenders' names, so I have to describe them by physical traits. The first bartender, the guy with the mountain of curly hair, was friendly enough and made decent drinks. Later, another bartender with a short haircut took over and made the best drinks of the night. Then there was the bartender with the black and hot pink hair. She looked like she'd rather be anywhere else. She rarely smiled, her demeanor felt unwelcoming, and it almost came across as hostile. On top of that, the drinks she made were so weak I genuinely wondered if there was any alcohol in them. Seriously. They were that bad. Here's my philosophy: if you're going to be grumpy, aloof, or have some other off-putting trait, you'd better make a mean drink. Years and years ago there was a bartender named Curtis who wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows, but that man could make a cocktail. I didn't need him to smile because the drink did all the talking. If the drink is mostly soda, though, friendliness becomes a lot more important. Unfriendly and bad bartending is a double whammy. She must be somebody's child or partner because I can't think of any other reason to employ a bad bartender. I hate to belabor the point, but the drinks aren't cheap. Cheap and bad I can take. For another comparison, there's another bartender there, I'm pretty sure her name is Chris. She's been there for years. She's all business. Maybe a little surly. Who am I kidding? A lot surly. But she's a character. More importantly, she makes a great drink. That's the kind of personality that somehow fits the Spotted Cat perfectly. Now let me end with the final piece of "bread" on my compliment sandwich. The doorman deserves his own review. That gravelly-voiced "Welcome to the Spotted Cat!" is part of the experience. Then he absolutely hammers that stamp onto your wrist. Somehow you don't even mind because you know what's waiting on the other side: incredible music, a fun room, and one of the best nights you can have on Frenchmen Street. Just don't let the bartender with the pink and black hair make your drink.
