Excellent, they don't serve food unless you have a private event upstairs. The jazz music is awesome and the bartenders are very friendly. I see some people complain the drinks are high, you don't have a COVER CHARGE!!! the drinks in the French Quarter run around the same price. Also, you are being entertained at no cost to some great jazz musicians. read more

Loved Maison Bourbon so much, the bartenders knew us by the 3rd night we went. We were looking for something more lowkey in the heart of Bourbon Street and this was the best place! The jazz bands were so lively and overpowered the loud dj's. When you are there, there is a 1 drink minimum per person (which wasn't hard for us to do!). The bartenders were great at getting the crowds their drinks and were pros! read more

The staff is friendly and the interior is quaint and cute. Great for grabbing a quick drink or spending the evening singing and dancing away Men's bathroom upstairs was out of service so I just held it in the entire night Great selection of sausages, meats, gumbo, and sandwiches for more formal catered events Now upstairs balcony for people watching or taking in the hot humid night air read more

A true hidden in plain sight gem. It's on the corner of Bourbon and St. Peter, near Preservation hall. The shows start at 8pm, it's a one drink per set minimum, they play until late into the night, and it's a stellar experience. The bartenders are great and do a wonderful job of preventing carry-ins and general rabble from ruining the experience. The bathrooms are in the courtyard and while they've recently been updated, they're still French Quarter bathrooms. It's set up nice with tables and chairs taking up the area in front of the stage. The bar is decent sized with ample seating as well. Drinks aren't terribly expensive. The band will NOT disappoint. FYI, the band takes Venmo if you don't have cash to tip them. read more

Such a fun jazz bar right on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. I was there for a private party on the 2nd floor, where there's another bar, two rooms and doors that lead out to the balcony. It's fun to watch people below you on the street. On the first floor they have the live entertainment and in this night they had a great band that seemed to do Hall & Oates classics and other songs that I knew and love. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I'm glad I know about now for future trips. read more

Bought a ticket to Maison Bourbon's Mardi Gras balcony event & it was well worth the money! Balcony had a great view of Bourbon Street & was a good size, perfect for people watching and throwing beads!! Maison Bourbon's Mardi Gras event ticket included open bar (tons of drink options to choose from!), seating to put your feet down, and a selection of tasty food (spinach artichoke dip, sandwiches, king cake, shrimp pasta, etc.). The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience - loved spending Mardi Gras at Maison Bourbon! read more

We absolutely love the Maison Bourbon Jazz Club so much! Not only have we enjoyed the actual bar and club downstairs many times, but we've also had the opportunity to attend multiple special events over the years upstairs on the balcony. Everything has always been top notch with fantastic service! Management is awesome and a complete delight. A+++ read more

The music was amazing! It was nice to step away from the loud cacophony of Bourbon Street into live jazz music of the bar. The service however was disappointing. We were a party of eight celebrating a birthday and there was no clear sign of a cover charge and when we were being responsible humans attempting to hydrate from the miles of walking and supporting the tourism industry, we received a rude welcoming from the male bartender as well as receiving one of the worst drinks. The southern hospitality of NoLa was not present in the service of the bar, but the music of Catahoula Music Company was amazing!!! read more

TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR RECEIPT! The bartender added an additional fraudulent tip. I had to contact my credit card to get this fixed. Music was good other than that. read more

If you come to the French Quarter looking for classic Nola jazz, this is a great place for it. There is a one drink minimum for all patrons but we'll worth it for the quality of entertainment. We've been here a few times always sitting with a smile, a tapping foot and occasional clapping. Awesome music. There is seating scattered throughout and have always been able to get a table. Even when crowded, if you wait a few songs or a set, there seems to be a rotation of people making it possible to grab a seat. It's got a classic old fashioned vibe. You can really see the age of the place and it adds to the overall experience. If you're walking by, go on in and give a listen. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is a smaller jazz club that is right on Bourbon Street with big, wide windows. We specifically chose this place because they actually have live music and because it was not too crowded. We liked the energy level of the band and the crowd as well. It made for a very festive atmosphere. The drinks here were nice too and not too expensive. read more

tl;dr Somehow there is a corner bar with a chill vibe and lovely live New Orleans jazz right in the blaring noise of terrible Jimmy Buffet covers or rap and the "what the hell did I just step in" of Bourbon Street. Sometimes we found ourselves listening outside from the open door corner with a drink already in our hand or we found ourselves inside sitting at one of the many tables with very attentive service. No cover but there is a one drink minimum per set, which was usually fairly a loose rule, so we had no complaints for value. Patrons tend to be tourists in their early 30s to late 50s of age. The bands would play everything from the classics to the not so common and what also seemed like original songs. One night we even listened to a trumpet player that has a voice/style reminiscent of Louis Armstrong. It's not Preservation Hall but who says it needs to be. The restrooms were "clean" for Bourbon Street standards. I mean, there was still a huge puddle around the toilet in the mens room but the restroom also had a strong smell bleach (so much so that my eyes even watered). I guess that's better than the alternative smells. read more

My husband and I came to NOLA to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed on Bourbon St and struggled to find true, good, traditional jazz. We stumbled upon Maison Bourbon by complete accident and LOVED the several hours we spent there! The jazz was AMAZING and our bartender Jamez was awesome!!! (Definitely deserves a raise!) Made me the BEST mojito!! Come for the music, stay for the drinks and have an AWESOME time in Bourbon St!!!!! read more

This is a smaller jazz club on Bourbon St and one of the only places you'll find a joint with actual live jazz music, not a DJ or band playing the greatest hits. They do have a one-drink minimum per set and the drinks can be pricy, but the band was so fun to watch and it was a wonderful laid back environment. read more

Great live music. No cover on a Monday and a one drink minimum per person, per set. The hurricane was about $14 but came with a souvenir cup. The drink didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it and was too sweet for my liking. read more

Nice jazz bar on Bourbon street. Given that Bourbon street is not the primary hub for live jazz (go to Frenchmen Street), this casual bar has good musicians and worth checking out. The musicians are talented and play a variety of instruments. After scouring for a jazz bar on Bourbon street on our 1st night, I'm glad we stumbled upon this one! I like how there is no drink minimum or cover charge. The drinks are okay and nothing special. I preferred the Pims Cup over the Mint Julep. In addition to the music, the service stood out to me. The waitress was really nice and friendly as she proactively refilled our water multiple times. If you are looking for a more upscale jazz bar, then I recommend going to The Jazz Playhouse at Royal Sonesta a couple of blocks up on Bourbon Street. If you are looking for something more casual, Maison Boubon is spot on. Recommend checking out, good for groups! read more

We came to this bar after seeing it as popular jazz bar. The music is nice but the bartender (white, bald, with glasses and a beard) was SO RUDE. He was killing the vibe in the bar acting like an absolute jackass. First of all when we got there, he was literally screaming at another client for them to show their ID and telling them to leave but actually SCREAMING and mind you this bar is small so he was literally louder than the music. Then we sat at the bar and the girl bartender told us we need to order drinks so we did order drinks. 5 mins later We walked to the other side of the bar with our drinks, and this male trouble-maker bartender came and yelled at us "NO OUTSIDE DRINK" continuously screaming!!! Then the female bartender corrected him. Then he started yelling at our other 2 friends that they needed to order drinks. First of all sir, you are killing the vibe in the bar and second of all when you say it like that no one wants to buy anything. On top of that, we of course left the bar eariy after his attitude and due to his lack of courtesy, unfortunately, we weren't able to tip the musicians I would never ever recommend this bar to anyone. Dont waste your time here. There are so many jazz bars in New Orleans with good service. read more

Great little bar...we ended up here after walking up and down Bourbon Street and realized that we didn't want to attend a hard rock show (volume 10000), so we entered Maison Bourbon. One drink required during each set of the band. The band was a cool jazz group playing at a volume that was perfect...could still quietly talk with other people but loud enough to drown out the crown/street noise. We easily got 2 seats at the bar, staff was very polite...cocktails were strong..no complaints! read more

I loved this place. It is a quaint old bar on Bourbon Street where you really hear jazz the way it is supposed to be heard. I don't recall the name of the band that was playing the night we were there, but we were so impressed we bought one of their CDs. Maison Bourbon is a bar. There do have a minimum of one drink per set. Prices are in line with other music clubs in the area. I also have to say something about the service. I'm terrible with getting names, but the server who waited on us was very pleasant. She was helpful in deciding what to order and even gave us some history of the club and the band that was a playing. My usual stop in New Orleans is the Black Cat. This is now on my list, too. read more

The wife and spent some time wandering around the French Quarter trying to find live music. For the birthplace of jazz, we found very little jazz. Mostly we found guys doing covers of Jimmy Buffet and classic rock, which we could get anywhere. The band at Maison Bourbon was playing covers, but at least they were covering jazz music. The band members made the covers their own instead of just belting out classic rock. The members of the band were also friendly and had a drink with us at the bar. Drinks are a little pricey for New Orleans, but well within an acceptable range for us. Beers were $6-7 for domestics. We didn't try anything else. If we had more time in NOLA, I would go back here read more

Jazzy soulful voice crooning Frank. Clarinet reminiscent of Billy Holliday blues. Strong drink: Swamp lilly (mojito). Started here on Tuesday night Bourbon St. Crawl. Glad I did because I was coherent enough to actually appreciate the GOOD Jazz band. No cover; 1 drink per set minimum. Went back Thursday & Friday while it was still light outside. Fast Friendly service from Waitress wearing Who Dat? Saints tops. Merlot--good! Blue Moon fruited with orange slices--Good again! Can't go wrong here. Ladies room outside, I can't tell you how I appreciate the sign reminder of the STEP. I've never been to so many NOLA places where random steps appear as harbingers for a twisted ankle. Sooo, thank you Maison Bourbon for the warning!!!! read more

We had a group of 70 in NOLA last weekend for a team-bonding business trip. We are a smallER startup company and it can be hard to find things everyone will enjoy. We rented out the upstairs for a private event with dueling pianos. It was by far the highlight of the whole trip. The girls singing were wonderful, and so were the owners and our bartender. Everyone raved about the night for the rest of the trip and really enjoyed getting to put in requests and dance the night away. Would definitely recommend Maison Bourbon to anyone who asks. The balcony was also AWESOME. read more

Awesome jazz bar on Bourbon Street. My sister and I were bar hopping and she wanted to stop by Maison Bourbon because she had been here several years ago when she visited NOLA with her friend. My sister was annoying and wanted to stay long lol I usually like to dip in and dip out. The jazz band that was playing that night was really talented and their lead singer sounded exactly like Louis Armstrong, they were taking donations and since my sister put in money we were able to request them to sing "What A Wonderful World". It was great! They do require one drink per person per set but luckily they weren't that strict on it. The windows and doors to this place are wide open so lucky you, you'll be able to enjoy their music without even coming inside. read more

Apparently this place is the last remaining jazz bar on Bourbon St. If so, I hope it remains for a while. I went on a Sunday night, and the jazz band was amazing, probably due to the talent of all their members (trumpeter/vocalist, saxophonist, double-bass player, pianist, and drummer). It's amazing that a place like this doesn't have a cover fee. Instead, they work on "tips" after each set, and you're supposed to order a new drink during each set to support the bar staff. As for the drinks, the cocktails are on the expensive side, which is not surprising since you're also paying for the experience. The Pimm's cup was great. The mint julep was just OK. Overall, it's a great fun experience, a true oasis of class in a sea of Bourbon debauchery. read more
