Best bar on Bourbon St! My favorite. They have two pianos and a drum set on stage and the music here is the best I've heard on this street and in this area. It always draws me in. The bar is spacious and has plenty of seating; there is also standing room and open doors at the front, which makes it pretty cool inside too with a breeze. I can't wait to stop back here tonight for more music. read more

You really can't go wrong with a dueling piano bar. The musicians were funny and lively and took requests. It was packed, and would be a great spot to stay awhile if you can snag a seat. read more

Was a blast!!! Was there forHalloween with my then girlfriend.... The view from the top of bourbon street was interesting.

Music from The Catahoula Music Company was great. Male bartender tonight was horrible. So rude.

One of the best live music piano bars in town. The drinks with the music just keeps the flow going. read more

Food was very average. Service was good overall, but the waitress spilled two bites of my creole on the table when she served it and just wiped it up! I really wanted those bites as the plate wasn't that big, but when I tasted the creole I didn't want any more - way too salty. The bread pudding, however, was amazing! read more

Walked in, seemed like a nice place. Had fun for the first 5 minutes. The girl I was with went to buy a bottled water from the bar. The bartender refused to give her a credit card receipt. When she asked, he assaulted her pushing her chest. And followed her from around the bar screaming at her saying he needed to give him both receipts when she took one. Not knowing what was going on, I got in his face and told him to back off where he proceeded to move quickly back behind the bar after ripping the receipt out of her hands. We talked to security who was cool, but I would never step foot in this place again. Bartender flipped me off from the safety of behind the bar and made sure that we saw it. His name was David and he was an abusive ahole. I feel sorry for any female that would ever dare this clown. Could be a cool business if they hired quality employees. read more

So much fun. They have two piano players and a drummer. No cover charge but you do need to buy at least one drink.

This is a great bar located right in the heart of Bourbon St, I mean smack dab in the middle of the fray lol. This bar has one of the coolest vibes of all the bars in the immediate area. There was a live band just pumpin out great music and the scene was definitely lively. People jumping around doing crazy dances etc... Quite the people watching experience. Head up the stairs near the band's stage and you'll find yourself in the upstairs bar, which is a bit quieter, but is fully stocked and ready to serve you. Had a daiquiri and a Redd's apple ale (guilty pleasure) and went to their beautiful balcony to take advantage of people watching from a higher vantage point. This is a great bar, a bit pricey but worth the price if you ask me... Pros- Drinks Service Ambiance Balcony Live music Atmosphere Vibe Cons- Pricey Busy Small bathrooms read more

Enjoyed the atmosphere of a small bar with live music. The musicians play a range of instruments, mainly piano but also guitar and drums. We enjoyed it so much that this was our go to bar during our week in NOLA. read more

My bar 635 is a good place to go for live music. No cover with a one drink minimum (not a problem LOL). They also have a small dance floor complete with a colorful characters jumping and dancing about. Later on It started getting a little to crowded so we moved upstairs. The upstairs was very nice, more of an upscale but comfortable feel. Plus the drinks are cheaper. We ended up sitting out on the balcony, a great place for people watching. Cool little bar. read more

The music was okay. I think the name changed of the place?... Near the restroom, there was some AC unit leaking, so a little section of the place was not being used. Shame, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The music was your standard piano songs, so a bunch of old songs. They didn't do hardly any new songs, so the crowd was older. read more

I had the unfortunate experience of being served by Kyle on February third. I am never picky about service because I've been a server myself and know it's a hard job. However, it was extremely inappropriate when I ordered a drink and he immediately asked me to show him my breasts. This is Mardi Gras, and I know there are going to be inappropriate comments, but never would I expect this from a business. I did let Kyle know, when I was actually able to pay by card and not through sexual exploitation, that I was not comfortable leaving a tip since he made this comment which I deem to be incredibly unwarranted. According to my friend, she observed him adding a tip after anyway (it is illegal to do that in my country, so I didn't think to check). This is as of right now unconfirmed on my end. Later in the night he asked me to leave for "being a bitch" (I assume this is for now exposing my breasts to him, which I was unaware hurt his feelings). Fortunately, your security guard was really kind. When he observed this, he asked me what Kyle had said and I told him the story, and the security guard apologized, which of course leads me to wonder if this is a regular occurrence at your bar. I'm glad that I am the kind of person to stick up for myself and pass this information along to you, but it saddens me that I could have been (or there already has been) the woman who has recently experienced traumatic confrontation with someone, or who doesn't know better, who would have been more negatively affected by Kyle's comments. You seem to have ignored the message I sent asking for at the very least, an apology. I feel sorry for the women who visit this establishment since you seem to care so little for their safety. I hope they have someone who listens when this happens to them. read more

Stopped in to grab a drink to take out on the streets with me. Turned out there was some piano players which kept us a bit longer than we expected. Service was great and timely, and the bartenders were friendly and engaging! read more

Great music - piano players are excellent. To bad the bar tenders don't care. No personality and just not professional. Too busy watching tv and talking to each other to notice customers. Too bad at $6 per beer they are really losing out. There are a lot of other bars where the bartenders at least put some effort into their job. read more

The drinks here are standard fare but the jazz/funk band that played here was freaking amazing. We came here twice because of them. This was on Friday and Saturday between 2-4pm. All of them rocked it out of the house, especially the saxophone man, his runs were ridiculous. 4 stars. read more

This place is awesome! So fun and always has live music. Upstairs is a more private area with a wall jukebox and a small bar and private balcony facing bourbon street. Perfect place for mardi GRAS or a private party because they rent the upstairs out. Great staff and sane owners as Lafittes blacksmith shop! Also a great new Orleans must visit bar! read more

We had a wonderful time...The service was 5 Star and the drinks were perfect!!!

Bar 635 is part of a network of bars along Bourbon. I would classify Bar 635 as the crazier, drop-it-low one with frequent live rock music. They were spilling beats onto the street to lure the wild ones in. There's no better place to show off your twerk. If you do prefer a little calmer atmosphere, the connected bar might be more of your style with live jazz. I was able to access this by going up the stairs and across. While you are on the 2nd floor, make sure to pass by the balcony. In my opinion, this was the most accessible balcony in all of Bourbon Street. Many of the others tend to be restaurant reservation type tables. read more

We were running around in the pre-Halloween Bourbon Street crowds, when we heard some good ol' school funk coming out of this bar. We made a bee line to a couple bar stools and ordered some drinks from the friendly waitress and listened to this hot band, LC Smoove. We listened to them for the rest of the night and even hit the floor a bit. This band was really good with solid musicianship. And the lead singer / sax guy had crazy, wild solos. He was literally off the hook. They mixed in some hip hoppy and funk tunes with strong jazz influences. We really enjoyed them. After some research, seems LC Smoove is the basically My Bar's house band. My next trip to NOLA will include a stop by 'My Bar' as it is from now on. read more

Racist bartender. Started making excused not to serve me - the only person of color in his bar. First he said the year on my diving license is incorrect, then said the picture was not mine. I showed him an alternate ID ( my employer ID) with my picture. Now he said my driver's license was fake! Called his gate manager, an African American gentleman, to escort me out. The gate manager was confused and started asking questions to the bartender. In fact the gate manager openly said he had already checked my ID before letting me in and found nothing wrong. Also the bartender only double checked my ID, which of course is not the standard practice. read more

What a great place!!! If you find yourself near here stop by you'll find yourself staying for hours. Performers are awesome and personable and make it so much fun you end up staying for a while! Loved how they kept calling us Georgia (where were from) when we Came in the 2nd night yes 2nd night it was that much fun!!! A must see and do and repeat! read more

We were down here for my nephews 21st bday. My nephew went up and purchased 1 beer and She threw a pieces of ice at him for tipping too slow? It's sad because we were really enjoying the music. read more

Great time...great drinks...fun crowd and staff!! so much to see in the French quarter but actually came here twice! read more

This is a decent place to watch a band. You can see and hear them quite well from the sidewalk so you can decide if you want to go in or not. There is no cover, but you have to buy a drink once you go in. read more

I agree with everyone.....the band is what makes this place. Drinks are pretty expensive, but it was worth it to listen to them. Had a great time and would love to go back, but my hangover says no...... read more

Y'all have the worst band ever. It's the loudest band on bourbon st and the last time I was there, the singer was off key it was horrible people were walking out. read more

Awesome piano players. Great voices and great sense of humor. Hurricanes were great! The piano players made the bar better than the rest!

This bar was awesome. Hands down, favorite bar on my trip to New Orleans. They had this rock cover band who was phenominal. Right across the street they had there was this vendor selling PBR for $2 each. So we just bought those and walked into this bar. Great time! read more

Dude upstairs threatened to kick my buddy out cause he didn't tip fast enough. He kicked him out. I said that was a dick move he was waiting for change. He kicked me out to. He threatened to push me down stairs and I only have one leg. Crappiest bar on river street. read more

Cool little spot off of Bourbon street. Live music, good drinks and a nice crowd. It had an upstairs area that was nice too. Worth popping in here to see what's cracking. read more

The bar was great. The music was kinda loud, but that's probably because the bar across the street was playing their music way too loud. The DJ was kinda on the "meh" side. But at leas he was playing a good music. read more

The house band is awesome! Funk, jazz and even some R&B. Lead singer, saxophonist is a real showman! You'll be lured in and before you know it you'll be out on the dance floor. They also have an accessible balcony for those looking to give away a few extra beads over Bourbon St. read more

The band here is just awesome... They have great music that you need to dance when you hear it, fun and decent place on Bourbon st

Had a FANTASTIC time at Ticklers Dueling Piano Bar last night! Fun and lively music! Plenty of room to dance, sing along and make new friends in the French Quarter! Great atmosphere in the upstairs bar and on the balcony as well!!! Will go back EVERY time we come to NOLA!! Thank you, Chris Roberts!!!! You've helped make wonderful memories!!!!!!!!!! read more

I asked the gentleman on one of the pianos (the lead) to play Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". A superb rendition ---Rhapsody is a mixture of classical, jazz and blues. Well Done ! read more

Great place. Good drinks. Great music. Enjoyed. "If it's not broke don't fix it."

I had a great time here and watched some very talented musicians. The performers were doing a donation based request system and seemed to know almost every song thrown their way. It was impressive and the atmosphere was great. They knew how to get everyone involved. A+ read more

great place to listen to live music. the bartenders know their drinks & make them well. plus, in new orleans you can always take your drinks to go if you are bar hopping. laid back feel. the bathrooms are tiny & were probably an afterthought when this bar was first in place. read more

Was just in NOLA for 5 days. We went to this bar every single night (at least for a few hours). Pianos with percussionist - musicians were absolutely amazing and talented. They could've doubled as comedians too! Great energy, knew just about every song we'd request. We saw the same people keep coming back too each night and soon had a large group of the same faces 4 nights in a row... and the group kept growing. People were watching thru the door from the sidewalks to listen to these guys. Been watching Lucky Lee for a few years perform and he is just awesome. Mike Stone , Tim, Tatoo all just a treat. There were a few more that I'm unsure of their names ...300 bars in the French Quarter and we chose to keep coming back. They really are incredible together. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating. They knew our names and what we drank on the first night and took very good care of us to make sure we were happy . Quick service and average prices. The doormen were friendly too. Always thanked us for coming back. Upstairs you can go out on the balcony AND watch the music/entertainment on the big screen upstairs. 2 for 1 bottles upstairs certain nights as well. My one single complaint ( nothing major) is to fix the air conditioning on main floor... the employees are just melting on the main floor. Upstairs the air conditioning is cranking tho. Can't wait to go back this winter!!! read more
