Musical Legends Park - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A must visit hen on Bourbon street. Along with fantastic artists performing everytime I was there, the drinks and beignets (at cafe beignet in the square) are wonderful. A superb experience and open air ambience read more

I was last here over 10 years ago and mistakenly wrote a review about it under the Cafe Beignet outpost which is located here. I'll visit over to that entry and make a correction. For our recent trip, Gayle, David, and I wandered into the Musical Legends Park one evening and enjoyed listening to music together. It wasn't too crowded and it was nice to hang back with a decent sight line and good acoustics. Gayle and I then returned the next morning for a Cafe Beignet breakfast, and enjoying our meal within the Park. We might of been a little early, as music ensemble was staging for their performance as we left. read more

A great place to sit outside with a good amount of shade available while you listen to great music. Cafe Beignet is located here along with a slushy bar that serves frozen Hurricane, mango, and other drinks. The atmosphere is lovely with a small fountain and the legends statues. Bring cash to tip the musicians. read more

Musical Legends Park - Fountain - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Stopped by to hear the live music on a weekend afternoon. The statues throughout the park are big and are perfect for photos. There is place to get coffee, drinks, and beignets! Plenty of tables to sit at throughout the park too. There was a live jazz band performing, and they even brought up one of the audience members to play! There were also heaters around the main sitting area, which was nice and warm! I Recommend stopping by for live music and coffee and food if you're in the area!! read more

Visited midday and it was still very well attended with a 3-pc band playing. They were very enjoyable. Enjoyed the beignets and coffee from Cafe Beignet that is there, though we didn't think there was anything particularly special about either. It was a good place to relax and enjoy some live music. read more

Musical Legends Park is located smack dab in the middle of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. There are multiple statues in the front of the park and a Cafe Beignet behind where live music is played every day. The statues, plaques, and displays are all a tribute to all the musicians who've played in New Orleans. There's a Cafe Beignet inside and also a couple places to buy food and drinks. It's actually a really nice sanctuary and the complete opposite of what is going on the street right outside. The band that we listened to was great and I'm assuming all bands who play here are also great. Sitting outdoors and listening to relaxing music is such a needed break from all the craziness. read more

Bourbon Street on a Tuesday night isn't nearly as hectic as Bourbon Street on a weekend night, but it was still fairly packed and rowdy when we headed out. We'd passed this little getaway a few times over the course of our stay and finally decided to duck in for a few. We made a beeline for the bar, where we waited for the bartender to finish explaining to the guy ahead of us that he needed some form of ID to sell him alcohol. It was a long conversation. We ordered a couple of drinks then made our way over to a table close-ish to the stage, so we could recline, imbibe and enjoy the live music. I don't know the name of the duo that was onstage that night - it was a trombone playing female singer and a male keyboard player - but they were talented. I loved the huskiness of her singing voice and the selection of songs they played for everyone. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer. We did hang out for a bit, but in the end we dropped a tip in the duo's bucket and headed back out into the night. We really could have stayed longer - we had nothing planned for the night - but the siren song of all the New Orleans things was calling to us, and we had to answer. If you're looking for a relatively calm place to catch your breath, head into the park. There are food options available at one of the kiosk/stores at the back (to the right of the bar), but we were still so full from lunch we couldn't even consider food at that time. read more

Love this place. It was a beautiful day and too pretty to be inside so this was a treat to sit in the courtyard listen to great live jazz music and have a delicious local cocktail. After watching everyone around us enjoying the beignets we had to get some. They were even better than they looked. We asked them to go light on the powered sugar so they probably would have been even better had we went with their original amount. Prices on food and drinks are very affordable. They do not offer table service but the lines at both the bar and cafe beignet go fast and they bring the food out hot to your table. read more

Best beignets in all of New Orleans! Beautiful outdoor seating with a live band too. Just a nice oasis in the middle of bourbon street.

Ate breakfast here several mornings. There is a Cafe Beignet and a bar inside the Park and it is so NOLA to eat while being serenaded by very good musicians enjoying what they do. read more

Great little outdoor music venue to listen to some jazz for free. There is Cafe Beignet to get breakfast, NOLA favs entrees, adult and non-alcohol beverages including coffee and of course, beignets. Coffee and beignets were good. Frozen margaritas were tasty as well. Music was fantastic! read more

I visited the Musical Legends Park on a whim while in town to get a passport. I just so happen to be riding past and notice they were open and welcoming people in (only with covid vaccination cards) and decided to give them a try. I got the shrimp Po'boy which was super hard, cold, and unappetizing. I thought maybe that's the way it's done in New Orleans so I didn't really make a fuss about it, I just kept a mental note for future. However, I also got beignets and those were absolutely delicious!!! They were made to perfection and I felt like a complete fat a** stuffing my 3 beignets down because I had never had them before but I honestly didn't care being that they were that good Lol. The music and the vibe was very chill and relaxing. I loved everything about my experience (minus the entree) as well as the kind service I received so I will be back to give them another chance to redeem themselves. read more

This was a fabulous way to end my New Orleans visit. I discovered this little park while walking down Bourbon Street, and I'm so glad I did. Statues of the great Al Hirt, Pete Fountain, and Fats Domino greet you as you enter the patio. There's a Cafe Beignet in the back. Small jazz ensembles play next to the bar. it's a perfect respite from the craziness on Bourbon Street. Loved it and so glad I found it! read more

First time walking down Bourbon Street this year, and I had people with us that had never been to New Orleans and we took a peek ajust to see what this was about because it looked awesome as we heard the music coming from the park. Before we could even say anything to the man standing at the gate, he didn't even look at us and said ' it's closed !' with an attitude. Excuse me sir but how do you address people. How hard is it to say ' my apologies but this venue is a private party and we can't take anyone at this time'. If you're standing at the gate, and addressing the public, have some manners and some etiquette, which you clearly need to work on. read more

The hideous woman, with regretful, tasteless, choice in tattoos, of a bartender, refused to replace the DISGUSTING HURRICANE DAIQUIRI - after two sips. The menu board said it was a mixed tropical fruits, it was CHEAP CHERRY FLAVORING AND DISGUSTINGLY SWEET. When I asked if I could please replace it, she could not say quicker with a "No! You can pay for a new drink!" Welcome to Bourbon Street. No bartender in NYC would EVER LEAVE A CUSTOMER UNSATISFIED. She was so rude, a couple next to me from Kentucky were gobsmacked by her rudeness. I also gave her a $2 tip. And told another lovely group of women to avoid the cherry hurricane drink. I left the drink at the bar, and went on my merry way to discover a more friendly Bourbon Street experience. Bad customer service. The jazz band was amazing though! read more

Such a gorgeous place to relax. A great New Orleans experience, we sat amonst statues of legends, listening to great jazz. The little patio had tons of seating: in front of the band, near the cafe, near the bar, or up on the balcony. Cafe Beignet is located here-so snacks are available. We only came here to hang out before our coty tour-so I can't comment on drinks or food, but the experience was delightful. Some music in the sun we spent a good hour soaking it all in. A must stop! read more

Yay for live music with plentiful seating, and boo for the food. I ordered the shrimp platter (see pics). The fried shrimp was dime-sized and overcooked. I got about six slices of fried okra (included in the platter). The french fries were the best part of my order. My suggestion is to just walk through the courtyard and view the statues of legendary New Orleans musicians. read more

A walkway just off of the ferry in Algiers. I don't know if we mussed part or didn't go far enough, but it seemed poorly delineated, and more of a bit of a path along the walkway with a plaque. When asked, even the ferry worker stationed feet from it did not know of it or where it was. read more

The best place to catch some great live jazz music. Drinks were affordable. We had shots of fireball and a couple berry daiquiri's. At the back of the park they sell beignets. Which as my first time having them were...okay. The music was phenomenal and filled my heart and ears with joy. read more

Are you looking for a "Safe Space" on Bourbon Street? Somewhere non-threatening where you can have a drink, access to a clean bathroom and listen to some New Orleans jazz? Well, this is where you can either find a table or just hang out at the bar and chat with the bartender and relax from the crowds and being approached on Bourbon Street. We came here as it looked so inviting, wasn't blasting hard rock nor a promotion for "3 for 1" drinks. Actually really enjoyed the music and drank one of those slushy drinks that after the fact I really regretted as too much sugar and cheap alcohol. I'd rather have some good stuff as not to regret it in the morning. This is a great rest stop when you need a "Safe Space". read more

I hate to call this a park. It's a couple of statues and a couple of restaurants and a courtyard. Calling it a park is a major stretch off the imagination. There is a Cafe Beignet. One of the problems I've discovered in New Orleans is there is not vegan beignets ANYWHERE. I even asked here. Nada. read more

Awesome little plaza on Bourbon Street where they play Jazz music! The best part is they don't charge a cover. Stumbled upon this place with my sister and we were looking to listen to some Jazz while in NOLA. Musical Legends Park has a small stage and a bunch of tables for the audience. They also have food and drink vendors so you can enjoy a bite while watching the shows. The musicians were really talented and we enjoyed just getting some fresh air while listening to great music! Stop by on your Bourbon Street journey! read more

Beautiful outdoor space, awesome band, food and drink looked good but we were denied entry by the security guard in the front because we were carrying some pralines that we had just bought souvenirs and despite us telling him that we don't plan on opening any of the packaging inside the seating area. Unexpected as this is in the middle of a tourist spot, oh well...we'll try again next time. read more

Awesome place to listen to jazz while having a cold drink. They also have a small selection of food as well. Great atmosphere!

Historic as it is delish! The rustic atmosphere with the iron outdoor tables, iron grill, statues and live music was great. After walking up and down Bourbon downing grenades and other alcoholic beverages we stopped by here to line our tummies around 10:15pm. I loved everything about the ambiance. I ordered Gumbo and was very satisfied with the soul in the food, tried battered seafood and chips which had a good crunch not soaking in oil . However I wanted to order beignets and my friend a Muffuletta which are New Orleans specials but they ran out of both . Still would recommend for the must have ambient experience with good food. read more

More like an outdoor Cafe feeling, but loved the live music and overall vibes if this area. The beignetes rom Cafe Beignete were AMAZING! Very fluffy with just the right amount of powder sugar.

This is an oasis of calm jazz and propriety amidst a sea of debauchery right outside the gate. Trumpeter Steamboat Willie was a class act.

This place is ideal for mature crowds looking to get away from the madness of Bourbon st. Enjoy a cocktail or beignet, while listening to a live band playing truly awesome Jazz. The scenery is very chill, its relaxing and also perfect for taking pictures by the statues of some of the Jazz Legends. Its one of my favorite spots on Bourbon, you can go up until midnight and enjoy a good time. Cafe Beignet is towards the back, good coffee and of course Beignets. I believe the close around 10pm. Theres nothing more to it. Jazz, Jazz, and more Jazz... So what's your complaint? read more

Music Legends Park is our favorite stop on Bourbon street every time we go to New Orleans. The band is wonderful and plays all types of music you would expect to hear in the quarter. We also love their food and drinks at the little restaurant tucked away in the back of the venue. You can grab breakfast lunch or dinner! They have all of the traditional food items you expect in New Orleans the prices are very reasonable considering they are in the heart of Bourbon Street. We grab snacks or a meal and then just sit and enjoy the music and people watch the Bourbon Street Craziness! read more

This spot would be so cool and cute if you could predict when a band was going to be by. In the week since we've been here I've only seen one band and I immediately stopped to listen. They were done twenty minutes later. My advice? Go to Frenchmen Street if you're wanting to hear live music. read more
