This was our fifth time at Colette New Orleans, but our first time attending on a Friday night…read moreduring single men's night. I'll start with the positives ,the staff were top notch as always, and the music was great. Early in the night, the ratio of couples to single men felt balanced, and we knew going in what the atmosphere would likely be.Unfortunately, as the night went on, more single men arrived and some did not understand or respect "no." We had multiple pushy interactions, and one particular guy repeatedly followed us around the club after we clearly said we weren't interested. We'd move to another area upstairs, and somehow he would appear again. That completely killed the vibe for us.What really sealed it was when we decided to leave early and walk back to our nearby hotel. Another man we had never even spoken to came running out of the club asking where we were staying and if we were coming back. At that point, the atmosphere no longer felt comfortable.Overall, we still believe Colette is a great club and this experience did not reflect our previous visits there. If you're a couple going for the first time, we would strongly recommend attending on a couples night instead of single men's night, because the environment can feel very different and may give the wrong impression of the club overall.

How do you charge $100 for men and $10 for women. This is sexual discrimination. Fuck you people.read more

I checked out Beach on Bourbon, and honestly... it was just okay…read more The biggest downside was definitely the drinks--they're pretty overpriced, and they don't put much liquor in them, so they don't really hit like you'd expect for what you're paying. It felt more like you're paying for the location than the quality. The vibe is hit or miss. Sometimes they play really good music, and when they do, it's fun--especially since it's packed with college kids and has that typical Bourbon Street energy. But other times it just doesn't stand out much compared to other spots nearby. Overall, it's not terrible, but it's definitely not the best place on Bourbon. I'd say it's worth stopping by once, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

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.

Whoa, it's one of those places that's deceiving in appearance! Looks small on the outside but plenty of room on the inside! Matter of fact, there was a small event happening when we got there (but nothing big enough to shut it down to the public.) Ordered a hurricane to enjoy as I listen to the live music for entertainment. It was pretty mellow, so it was a good change from the loud (and some dissonant) sounds we just experienced walking through Bourbon. So it was a good place to end our Bourbon Street pub/bar crawl before going back to the hotel for some much needed rest... ... (but the truth is we had a couple more nightcaps at a couple more places before we actually went back. Tee-hee!!!) Hey, it's NOLA. It's Bourbon Street! It's allowed! But yeah, good first run here.
