I ordered the focaccia bread and it came out hot and fresh. It was absolutely delicious and served with two dipping sauces that made it even better. Such a strong start to the meal. Next I tried the oysters. They were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Each one had a little pickle on top and a sauce underneath that tied everything together. Excellent flavor and texture. Sadly my last oyster had some shells :( I also ordered the pork spare ribs and they did not disappoint. The meat fell right off the bone and was packed with flavor. Truly excellent. The cocktails were just as impressive. Delicious, well balanced, and the perfect complement to the food. Service was excellent even during a busy time. The host was amazing and kept everything running smoothly. I will absolutely be back. I'll be back ! Great vibe and cute bar. Small tables and high tops and brick walls. Romantic. Date night. Celebratory - local and special Can choose music too. read more

Beautiful cocktail bar! We popped in for a round of drinks and a few bites before dinner at a nearby spot. Cocktails were creative and pretty spirit forward, but very well balanced. They offer three styles of drink, A-side, B-side, and Sample. These represent cocktail profiles equating to normal, lower proof or shots. We tried A and Sample, and I'd suggest sticking with the normal drinks. The Samples were intense! Bites were great, we tried the cracklings, crab fat popcorn, and the warm olives. And then added the duck meatballs and crispy ribs. Highly recommend the meatballs and ribs, we raved about those. Service was warm and very friendly. read more

Junebug is absolutely beautiful. I stopped by for drink with a friend and had a great time. There's a long hallway you walk down that opens up to this big beautiful space that has a vintage vibe to it. Dark themes with bright lights and exposed bricks gives a sexy, industrial theme that add to the relaxed and chill atmosphere. The art on the walls and the vintage horn type chandeliers add to personality and charm of the space. There's plenty of room when you walk in, whether you want to have a drink at the bar, sit with friends at the high tops or relax on the sofas. They even have another room with tables for dining and hanging out. The drinks were good, strong and not too pricey. I really enjoyed myself here. I will definitely return to Junebug next time I'm in New Orleans. read more

New hidden gem! Obsessed with the decor and their wallpaper. Menu is cool and different. You can get a strong cocktail, a lower proof cocktail with less alcohol, and then a sample size of that drink profile. Cool way to make a menu. We didn't love their flavor profiles this time but would come back again with a new menu. Recommended by a local! read more

Great food and great music. Really cool interior and vibes. The marinated mushrooms really surprised us (in a great way).

What a beautiful spot! We stopped by on Valentine's Day while they were doing a cute Soul/R&B set list. All of the small plates were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed the bartender, and he actually made me a custom mocktail (although there were a few listed in their menu already.) planning to go back and try some other dishes soon! read more

My first time at this spot and yes I'll be back!!!! Junebug on Camp Street is a true New Orleans hidden gem! So cute and quaint with a lively bar and the most charming outdoor patio in the back -- perfect for relaxing with friends or date night vibes. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, with great music and a welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. The food was delicious, and the craft cocktails were on point -- creative, well-balanced, and beautifully made. It's an ideal spot for happy hour (Tuesday-Friday, 4-6 PM), but also great for late-night bites and drinks. Open nightly starting at 4 PM (closed Mondays), Junebug is definitely one of those local favorites you'll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend! Check it out soon and add to your list. read more

This was my second time at Junebug, and it was just as great as the first! This time I came for a wedding after-party with a group of about 20 people. We had no problem finding seating, which was a huge plus. The drinks were strong, delicious, and reasonably priced. I had the Baby Wants to Ride and loved it. The music was low and mellow, creating the perfect vibe to wind down the night. I've had the food before, and it's solid as well. Junebug is a great spot for pre-dinner drinks, happy hour, or just catching up with friends. Parking in the area is pretty easy, too. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was good, service was AWFUL!!! We were welcomed in such a friendly way. Than we got our horrible waitress,and she really ticked me off, and she definitely didn't deserve her 20% tip, but we didn't want to be those people. This is what i hope for, if we decide to get the brunch, please let use know thst we can also choose off of other menus. Again sadly the waitress ruined it for me! Food and the Jolene was great, but if, amd thats a big IF, i want to go back for dinner with more options. But people please tip properly, if your meal in 100, take the first two numbers and double it and thats what u tip. That's the minimum. ($20 bucks) read more

Lovely and historic spot for a well made cocktail. Enjoyed it very much on a Wednesday afternoon with some colleagues, and had a nice chat with the bartender while waiting on them. He made me a tasty and balanced Boulevardier with Sazerac rye. Would go again next time I'm in town! read more

Never heard of this place, but a friend recommended it for dinner. The inside is fabulous! Sat at the bat to grab a drink while I waited, and the bartender was great. They serve delicious cocktails. Decor was nice..good date spot. Food is tapas style which I love, as it gives us the chance to try a lot of different items. The croquette balls were delish. The tuna crudo was pretty bland but the fish was fresh. Oysters were pretty good as well as the fries. Loved the dipping sauce. The beet salad was light and fresh. Overall it was a pretty good experience. You will need to order several things because the portions are small. read more

I love the fresco'd walls. Very dimly lit so beware if you have trouble in lowlight situations. Your eyes do adjust after a bit. Our host, young curly haired guy, was thankfully able to squeeze us in. Very nice and personable. Our server, Sav, was very nice and attentive. She even brought my friend a perfect drink after being told to surprise her! Had the pickled shrimp dip and the bacon and duck creppinnettes. The shrimp dip was good. Definitely was expecting more tang. It was still tasty. Wish there was more. The duck and bacon creppinnettes, which I realized were meatballs when they arrived, were delicious. The bacon flavors are incorporated into the meatballs instead of just lazily sprinkling bacon on top. Really good! There are a few more things I want to try on their menu so I'll be back read more

Really cool place with an awesome vibe! We order a few different plates for the table. The Hot Fried Oysters were my favorite! The Duck & Bacon Meatballs were a hit as well. Service was outstanding. Definitely recommend! read more

Tapas selection specialized, but def delicious. Korean ribs were scrumptious and tender, shrimp skewers had amazing flavor, snapper crudo was refreshing, caesar salad was perfectly dressed, and drinks were divine. Equally impressive was the staff.

I'd seen so many beautiful photos of Junebug and couldn't wait to experience it for myself. The atmosphere did not disappoint--stylish and inviting--so I was excited to settle in and enjoy the evening. I started with the Party on Plastic cocktail, which was fruity and smoky--something I'd order again. Since I visited on a Friday after 10 pm, the condensed late-night menu was in effect. My friend and I shared a few snacks: duck quacklin', a pickle plate, and fries with comeback sauce. While the space was gorgeous, the food was just okay, and the service could have been better. We had to flag down our server each time we needed something, as she didn't check in much. I'd give Junebug another try, but I'm not in a hurry to go back. read more

Loved the food and ambience of the place! We ordered the pimento cheese that was a favorite at the table. It was thick with pecans which gave a it a sweet and textured experience. The duck meatballs were another favorite. I personally didn't like the fingerlings but everything else was worth it. We went for a late night gathering and had multiple mini plates to share with everyone. The service was a little slow but, they did apologize for the wait since it was busy so I was okay with it! read more

What a cute place! I love the interior design of the bar and the ambiance it creates. I also loved that the bartender is practically the DJ and he blessed my friend and I with a great vibe. He knew it was my bday and made me feel very special by curating a custom cocktail along with a sweet taste of a little lagniappe shot. We didn't hang too long but our quick visit was memorable and I can't wait to come back with more friends to get into the groove. read more

Ambience is silky and cozy, music is at the right level to have a chat, service is friendly and drinks are good. My only complaint is the menu is not my favorite; it's a combo of lots of things that don't seemingly match. Light bites are chips, nuts and olives. I'd like a more creative flair. I tried a cornbread gnocchi with lamb ragú, and while the taste was okay, I hated the same, soft texture all throughout and it was an unappealing presentation. They are fairly new so I will go again, but am going to give them some time to work out the menu. They'll have to learn fast as other good restaurants like Gianna and Meril's are just a short walk away. My recommendation: go for drinks and coziness. Don't expect to be wowed by the food. read more

I think I need to come back for the late night menu to really get the full experience. There's a Duck Reuben that I NEED to have. But anywho, we came as a party of three for a birthday. We didn't have reservations but were seated in the bar high top area after a few minutes. This place is beautiful. The arching lights over the bar are my favorite. We only came in for drinks and appetizers as we were going somewhere else after. Our server, Sav, was really nice and informative. For my drink, I ordered the Paid in Full. Just the right amount of sweetness and it packed a nice punch! For the appetizers, we shared the Pickled Shrimp Dip, which was cool and refreshing, very tasty as well. I also ordered the Duck and Bacon Crepinettes. Those were really good. Definitely need to return to try the entrees and the sandwiches! read more

I think maybe it's best not to try a restaurant when it first opens because they haven't worked out all the kinks...but still I was there. It is a gorgeous restaurant but beware there is no cell phone service in here. I do want to say that as a disclaimer I think my experience would've been better with possibly a different server. Our server was very nonchalant and did not know much about the menu. Being that it is a new restaurant there are virtually no pictures to look at so when we asked questions about the menu he didn't have the answers and never came back with the answers. We started off by ordering dirty martinis. 15 minutes later our server came back and said they were actually out of olive juice. That was strange to me because they have olives as a starter on their menu but I ended up ordering a lemon drop. The cocktail glasses are tiny and my drink wasn't even full nor was there any rim. For food we started with the tuna crudo, fried oysters and duck & bacon crepinettes. All 3 were great! I asked for salt and pepper and I was brought out 2 condiment containers instead of a shaker. For entrees my friend ordered the lamb gnocchi and 3 of us ordered hangar steaks. I ordered medium for my temperature and the server said they recommend medium rare and can't guarantee the quality if we don't get that temperature. I have literally never heard that in all my life of eating steak. Anyway, the steak was fine but I wasn't aware it would be drowned in sauce. I didn't care for the sauce at all. The manager, LB, was very kind and a perfect example of how management should address customer concerns. Anyways, I'll be back once they kind of get into their groove read more

5+ stars for decor, sound, food, vibe, just a great find. The flavors were amazing, duck dirty rice, wow! The pork belly bites, amazing. Smoked pimento cheese, yes please.

I truly hope this place sticks around. Apparently an old recording studio turned 5 star restaurant, bar, and in my opinion perfect wedding venue. The snacks were top tier - just check out my translucent chip in the photo. The space has so much history and is filled with amazing musical artifacts. The drinks were cute - not boozy but definitely filled with character and composition. I fell in love with the architecture, the moody dimly lit space, and the bathrooms. It was an overall treat. With so much change to the Nola food scene over the years - I just hope this place sticks around for a very long time. read more

Fried oysters and Caesar salad were fantastic and service was pretty good. Would definitely go again.

Nice ambience and decor. Good beer and drink selection. Good vibe and location! Hidden location.

I will preface this by saying I went literally the day after they opened so there were, understandably, still some kinks to work out. First, I had a reservation so one person had apparently arrived before me and had been seated. When I came in and gave my name, I was seated at a different table on the other side of the restaurant and had no idea my friend was there. I genuinely thought she was lost and was blowing her texts up. It took a while (long enough for her to get her cocktail) for us to realize she was in that back section the whole time. I did get a complimentary glass of champagne from the host before that though so I forgave her lol. The next kink was that I was served a completely different drink than what I had ordered. Another waitress came along and got me the correct one pretty quickly though. My correct drink was very good. It was the Party on Plastic. I ordered the duck and bacon crepinettes as my app. I wasn't the biggest fan but that doesn't mean there was anything wrong with them, I just did not enjoy the texture and the taste threw me off a bit. I got the hanger steak as my entree with fries instead of onion rings. The cook on the steak was spot on. However, I did not like the sauce on it AT ALL. I wish I would've thought to ask for it on the side because it messed up an otherwise perfect steak. I am not discouraged though. I do want to return one of these days and look forward to updating this review. read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars. I loved the atmosphere and esthetic. However, the food was very lackluster. We decided on the 3 plates for $29. I love the idea of shareable plates but I thought the plates were mediocre at best. We picked the croquettes monsieur, duck, and eggplant schnitzel. And let's just say we were still hungry. The cocktail menu is a book with many options. I decided on the "Kiss me not". It was more on the tart side than sweet side and a twist on an Aperol spritz. I would say this is more of a high end cocktail bar than a restaurant. I'd definitely come back for a cocktail at the bar! read more

Junebug has the vibes. Beautiful building and nicely decorated....almost like an old speakeasy. So very cool and fun! We were a party of 3 with reservations. Our server was Sav who was knowledgeable explaining Junebug's extraordinary drink menu - very unique. Sav was also attentive without too much hovering. Our evening consisted of martini set up, frozen slow gin fizz, pickled shrimp dip, hot fried oysters, tuna crudo, hanger steak- ordered by two of us, the gulf fish- this was a red fish, fries with comeback sauce and a preserved lemon semifreddo. The drinks were fabulous, the appetizers - dip, oysters & crudo - delectable. The entrees were limited about four to choose from. Certified something for everyone though. The gulf fish was a red fish; was very flavorful. The hanger steak were cooked to perfection but, the Worcestershire sauce was just too over baring to enjoy the perfectly cooked to perfection steak. Junebug was very thoughtful on our remarks and cooked us another steak without the sauce. I would ask for sauce on the side for dipping next time. The fries with comeback sauce was not a must have in my opinion, the two other guest who were with me had also stated this same feeling. The dessert was not my favorite but we were sharing and my friend said it was enjoyable but probably would not order that again when coming back to Junebug. This restaurant is fairly new, only operating about six months and maybe some tweaking still needed as far as Junebug's menu. We all said we would come back. read more

I think this is a nice spot that gives the cutesy, dim speakeasy type vibe, and it could be even nicer if some tweaks were made. Firstly, I was impressed by how spacious it is! And I like how the 3 rooms all give different experiences. The front room is more "cocktail bar" and has lots of natural light, the middle room is more of an evening loungey-sexy feel, and the the back area is elegant dinner-dining. Our server was nice and helpful with the menu. The coquettes and oysters were both good. The drinks were good as well...on par for a $15-17 cocktail spot. I'm not huge on frozen drinks but the frozen Pimm's cup was yummy and also, pretty strong! They need to work on the WiFi...it was really tough to text and load apps in there. Also, the host staff was a bit stale and unwelcoming...they were giving very much meh and annoyed which wasn't a great first impression, but it was overall a good experience. read more

Junebug hits hard with bold flavors and killer drinks. The fried chicken sandwich? Crispy, juicy, and downright filthy in the best way. The smoked olives bring deep, briny heat--impossible to stop eating. The French 75 is crisp and sexy, while the Old Fashioned stays strong and smooth. Damn good spot. read more

Junebug is AMAZING! Such a cool vibe- in a former recording studio used by famous NOLA musicians (like the Neville Brothers!) with throwback pictures, and spinning vinyl records.
