    When David told me that our favorite band, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats, was coming to NOLA for the second time this year and playing Emeril Lagasse's Boudin, Bourbon and Beer fundraiser, I knew that we somehow had to get in. We've seen this band two other times and they always put on a fantastic show. I had no idea that unlimited food and alcohol was also a part of the party. After a little luck, we were able to secure some passes and we were ready for action. First of all, the food at this event is incredible. This year it was 67 different chefs all offering their best boudin dish. We're talking empenadas, wraps, tamales, and anything else you can imagine packed with delicious boudin. It's all you can eat, so you get to sample as many different dishes as you'd like. Considering you have some of New Orleans best restaurants participating, I don't have to tell you how fantastic the food was. The alcohol is free as well and there are full bars throughout the grounds. The staff is fast and there really weren't any lines and I like that they had the food and alcohol spread out all over the venue, so that people wouldn't cluster into one space. Speaking of the venue, Champions Square is the perfect spot for this event and more festivals need to be hosted here. There's plenty of space so people aren't piled on top of each other, there were tables where you could set your food down while you ate, the bathrooms are clean and attended to and there's wifi! Not to mention a lovely view of the Superdome at night. Seriously, please host more events at Champions Square! The music was incredible. After enjoying a few local bands on stage, it was time to rock out to Nathaniel, after a brief "thank you" from the man himself, Emeril. Sound was great and I was comfortable near the front and, because it's such a great space, I wasn't cramped in. This was a fantastic time and absolutely one of the best events I have been to this year. If someone were to ask me if it's worth the $100 ticket price, I would give them a resounding "YES!". Ticket proceeds go to a good cause and you'll get to sample some dishes from a few of the best restaurants in town. It's a night you won't forget. I plan on going back next year, so hopefully I'll see you there.

    I attended a benefit in this space a few months ago and wow it is gorgeous. The open floor plan,…read morethe exposed rafters, the beautiful bar, the throwback corner door access. And I loved all the artwork on the walls. The space does not appear to have regular hours so viewings are by appointment only. Seriously with the revitalization of OCH/Dryades corridor, it's great to see such lovely historic buildings come back into their own.

    I had the opportunity to check out this space thanks to Alvin and Re because this is where the Big…read moreClass Luau was held. I want to start by saying how excited I am for the development of the entire Oretha Castle Haley corridor. I think in a year it is going to be one of the hottest areas in the city. It took me a few minutes to actually find this place at first. My good ol' GPS just led me to the 1400 block of OCH and left me to find the actual building on my own. Just a note: it's on a corner and I took a picture of the door, so that you can be on the lookout. The venue itself is lovely. It's a wide open space with a nice bar and plenty of seating. There is gorgeous art on the wall and I like that there is a lot of space to move around. Big selling point: the air conditioning here works like a champ. A lot of times you get into these old buildings, and the ac can't keep up with the space, but that was not the case here. Plenty of windows let in the light during the day, which I am always a fan of; I hate going to dark event spaces during the day and feeling like I'm in a dungeon. There is a stage area where students for Big Class read poems. I presume that other performances take place on the stage as well. There are even some sofas for comfy seating as you enjoy whatever is happening on stage or just mingling with friends. I didn't get to explore it, but there's an upstairs area as well. It should be noted that the building is located on an extremely well lit block, so if you attend an event here at night you should feel pretty safe. I look forward to attending more events here and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more fundraisers that may be held here.

    I have seen a lot of the "greatest bands". Eric Clapton & BB King, ZZ Top, AC/DC, George Thorogood,…read moreVans Warped Tour, etc. Let me tell you about this one. I was there for the 5pm showing on July 4th. The front row seat was definitely worth it. This was ABSOLUTELY a top 3 show of all time for me. It's honestly hard to give credit to any one musician. Except for the fact that each of them had solos, AND KILLED IT. I don't know the trumpet players name, but they gave me LITERAL CHILLS. It was mesmerizing. The drummer DID HIS THING. The bass player crushedddddd. Trombone? SOULFUL. Piano player? Masterful. Clarinet AND sax player? Unbelievable. Every single one of these musicians has more talent in one finger than I have in my entire body at anything I do. The music they played to honor Ronell Johnson was truly beautiful. It was an experience I'm never going to forget. There will never be a trip to New Orleans that doesn't include a front row seat to this place.

    This is an easy 5-star review. Lazy me would just cherry pick from the other 5-star reviews but…read more.. Preservation Hall is a must when visiting New Orleans. Picture exceptional musicians playing traditional jazz in your living room or backyard. There are no frills, light shows, just benches and standing room areas which allow you to be transported back in time when jazz was king. From their website: "Operating as a family business, Preservation Hall supported the unique culture of traditional jazz in New Orleans, which developed in the local melting pot of African, Caribbean, and European musical traditions at the turn of the 20th Century. Preservation Hall was a rare space in the South where racially integrated bands and audiences shared music together during the Jim Crow era." I would strongly suggest that you purchase your tickets well in advance as these shows sell out. In the past the Hall was BYOB and there were no rest rooms. They have upped their game and there is a full bar and bathrooms! Each show is only 45 minutes in length for those 45 minutes you are in for a truly magnificent experience.

    What a nice place for an event or just to hang out after a looooong work week or equally looooooong…read moreday. Totally off the beaten path. I passed it up the first time looking for it, as it sits off the street abt 50 feet, so passing it by is a definite possibility. The crowd initially was sparse, but soon picked up as the night grew on. The speciality drinks seemed appropriately themed for the location & the prices were good as well. The bartenders were very friendly & attentive. I was here for a party for my good, good friend Candi, but I'm told this is also a venue that can be rented out. I also hear this was a happening place during Essence Fest 2018 & understandably so as it's simply PERFECT. One of 2 overflow areas is adorned with over-sized Connect-Four games & other over-sized games for your entertainment. This night I was there a cigar guy was there rolling FRESH cigars BY-HAND!!! How sweet!!!! The other overflow area has a grassy lot with benched-seats for your pleasure. It's a little haven of sorts, definitely a breath of fresh air. I'll definitely visit again and have even logged this place in my head for a venue to host a soiree!!!

    Very nice and cute area to have a nice party. The inside has high ceilings, nice glossy bar…read morearea,nice back end area for guest that may not want to hang around inside. Very clean and nice. My 10 uear reunion party was held here and it was really nice . Parking was a little hectic due to trying to find the spot and the area had other events at other places so patking was a bit whack. This lil spot can definitely be a good hopping area due to other good places in the area.
