    Incredible fun in Nola -- this karaoke spot is tucked into the heart of Bourbon Street and is well worth the stop! They're definitely popular, so be prepared to wait before getting up on stage. The waitlist system is pretty efficient. The emcee is super bubbly and kept the party going and engaged with the audience late into the night. I had a blast, would recommend!

    Have a great time here.

    We hopped in here to have a couple of drinks while strolling Bourbon Street and had a good time people watching while they performed karaoke for everyone and having some laughs with my wife. People were friendly, service was good place is clean and my wife and I noticed there were lots of cameras around and I just found out they have a 24 hour livecam that anyone can view. Place is loud but what do you expect from a place you go to, to party.

    Walking down the street and we see a sign that says "Free Karaoke". We added our name to the list and grabbed some seats. We had no idea how long the list was. They alternate between letting an audience member sing and the host sing. It was a good time but we never got to get on stage. Still a fun experience.

    Mad cool karaoke host

    Cats meow is a lovely place to karaoke on bourbon street. The security questioned my age because I look super young. Thankful for those who do their jobs well. They give a card to get a free shot with purchase. A nice touch to an overpriced city. They have a lovely outdoor bar as well as an upstairs outlook to the street. The hosts for karaoke were charismatic and fun. The DJ kept the tunes spinning. My friends and I had a blast on our first night in the Big Easy.

    Karaoke with a friend!

    We had a great time here. I have always wanted to karaoke but was always so nervous. After watching a few I got the courage to add my name to the list and my friend and I had a blast! Fun time with friends. Only thing is the list moves real slow and drinks are pricey here.

    my husband and I went there last weekend. It was all fun. The music was great. The atmosphere well except the waitress that was waiting on us. She kept on throwing herself on the guys in our party wanting to sing desperately with saying can you call me up there when you get up there we just thought that was strange because she needed to wait on her customers. She ran off with the 's credit card and was up on stage and the people wanted their credit card. My husband and I finally left. We didn't really want to, but the waitress wouldn't seem to leave us alone, begging the boys in our party. To sing, we didn't want her to sing with us. I mean, we wanted her to bring us drinks.

    Solid hurricane drink for like $10. Host was a ton of fun. Wish the song list had some more modern options.

    Fun place for karaoke, and pretty reasonable drinks for bourbon street. It was actually pretty crowded on a Monday night!

    Swanky and fun. Located within the Roosevelt hotel, this cool bar has lots of rich history (that…read moreyou can read about while there). Whether sitting at the bar, or in one of the many lounge chairs on the opposite wall, every seat is an excellent. While I knew of the drink French 75, on the bar menu it was offered with either gin or cognac. I decided to try the cognac and so glad I did. Perfectly delicious! It turns out that drink is actually a French 125, so I learned something new that night. Great spot with a great vibe.

    The Sazerac Bar at the The Roosevelt New Orleans prepares an outstanding Sazerac cocktail, as you…read morewould expect. While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.
