Another cool bar to hang out at on Bourbon St. Decent size bar. They have a DJ, which was cool. The bar also feature large TVs for watching events. Bartenders were cool and drinks come up quick. Bar seating was extremely limited. The crowd was younger there that night. I would definitely check it out again. read more

"How about a night cap?" someone in my group asked. And walked in here since it was a mere two feet away. (Insert chuckle here.) 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. Would recommend! read more

I'm not sure if we actually stopped here or if this has been renamed The Frat House on Bourbon. In any case, it's a spacious spot with live music. They do serve food. We had chicken tenders and fries. Pretty decent, if a little pricey. There's a garden area with a fairly busted bathroom. The good bathrooms are on the third floor. There is an elevator. Service was good with the bartender tipping us off about drink specials. read more

Last time I was in town, we ended up here every single day--so of course we had to come back this trip, and it did not disappoint. We still absolutely loved it. The bartender and security staff were awesome and made the experience even better. The band was amazing, the place was clean, and the overall vibe was great. Draft beers were a little pricey, but honestly that's expected for the location. Definitely a must-stop spot when I'm in town. read more

There is absolutely no excuse for not having SOAP in the bathrooms. Not that it was out, like they literally don't even have a dispenser. Disgusting.

It's a bar... On Bourbon street. I don't think you're really going to find a place that's going to reinvent the wheel here, but if you want a place to go and dance, this is an option. The bartenders have always been great to me, and when we decided to bring in a few Vieux Carre pizzas with us on a slower night, they didn't raise a fuss (and of course they enjoyed some, too). The "best" part about Prohibition is the balcony. You can watch all the people wandering Bourbon street, you can throw some beads if you brought them with. It can get crowded, but they control how many people are out there at a time, so you don't feel terribly unsafe. People are pretty good about regulating their time out there during the end of carnival season, so even though you might have to wait, no one really hogs the time out there. read more

Located smack dab in the middle of Bourbon Street is this bar/dinky dance club. I can't speak for the dance floor/club aspect of it. Although I can tell you that they blast the sh*t out of that music. Like I could barely hear myself think much less talk. We were walking around and just checking everything out in general when these guys walked by with these obscenely ginormous bottles of beer marked.. Huge Ass Beers. Sold! lol I walk up to the counter at the side of the bar and order. 70 ounce beer for $26. lol The options were Miller Lite or Bud Light. Service was ok. Don't expect much. lol Prices reflect the touristy nature of where you are at, so I can live with it. It is what it is and in my book that's.. A-Ok. 3 stars. read more

We came here on a Thursday night after our cruise arrived in port. Day service was great. Bartender big smile and very eager to help. Great live music! Decided to go back to the room for a little relaxation so we were well prepared for a night of drinking, dancing, and fun! We stopped in and had the same bartender...super nice! Danced for a long while and spent some good money. Decided to walk upstairs and it was not a good or fun experience. Dj was playing so we wanted to step out on the balcony. NO! NOT WITHOUT A DRINK IN HAND! What? We just had been drinking shots on the lower level! Oh well...Let's just dance to the DJ...sorry, you can't dance right here. MOVE! No! We are outta here! Spent $$ on drinks. Had a great buzz and was really enjoying our time. WHAT A FUN SUCKER!! We left and didn't return. read more

My friends and I started our night at this bar and were attracted to it because of its loud music and rooftop! You're allowed to walk-in without an ID check, but if you want to order a drink at the bar they check your IDs. The drinks were pretty cheap and strong- like $6 for a shot! And you could see how much liquor the bartender put in it (it was a lot). The only downside is that the music was very old so I wish they played newer hits (but we did go on a Thursday so maybe that's why) read more

If you shop here make sure to keep an eye on your bill. I bought a 14 dollar drink (one vodka red bull with a drop of vodka) and I left a 2 dollar tip. I later checked my credit card statement and I was charged the 14 dollar drink and an additional 16 for the tip. I reached out to the vendor and haven't received any response back. My friend was also overcharged 85 dollars for a singular drink and is currently tying to dispute the charge as well. The bouncers were drunk and overly aggressive and no business should be run this way. Highly do not recommend coming here. read more

Make sure to check your billing statements! They will tip themselves if they aren't satisfied with how you tipped. We bought a drink for $14 and the bartender tipped herself $13 when a $2 tip was left. This was not a typo mistake. It was done intentionally. They will also make you buy a drink at the bar if you want to stand in the balcony, and are extremely aggressive about getting people off for not knowing. You can find a better drink somewhere else for a better value on Bourbon street. This is definitely not the place to go party. read more

loved this bar and the energy so much that we came back three days in a row. Unfortunately the bartender with a Mickey Mouse tattoo on her arm & lots of piercings in her face was such a nasty lady that straight up stole my money.. on my birthday!!! I ordered a vodka cran & watched her put in one shot, as I only asked for one. Handed her a $20 bill to pay and she gave me $2 back. Having come 3 days in a row I knew the single drink was $7.50 . I asked her why she charged me $18 and she said u got a double. I clearly did not and the drink was clearly a single. I said I didn't ask for one? And she literally goes "you don't always get what you want." She looked like she would rather be anywhere else in the world, and clearly just hates women, especially pretty women. Had an attitude from the start. If you're broke babe just say that!! I would've tipped you good you don't have to steal my money !!! sad bc very cute lively bar and the girl on stage has amazing energy but fix your crooked bartender. read more

It's a private club and there is always some paperwork and fees involved. My dates handled most of this. I really enjoyed the layout and the atmosphere was highly sexual and festive. Everyone was having a great time. It was byob so if you go, take your own alcohol. Mixers like soda etc were provided. We spent the evening getting to know one another in-between playtime.

I already paid for the show so am I really just gonna leave there? I ask to pay with card, and am told there's tax on it. Sure. I get it. Electronic payments are all catalogued so it makes sense there's tax. However, I see the itemized bill as it's being brought up. It says "$11 cover". There's a separate line for the tax under it, but I was definitely charged 11 for a cover PLUS tax after that. I ask the workers if there's a mistake, and they say it's the tax. I point out that the tax is below that, and then they say something along the lines of "you're acting like we want to rob you, I don't get any money out of this." The place to insert my card is then pulled away from me as I am removing my card from it to pay, and am told "You don't have to pay for it if you don't want". As I already paid, I point it out and I am offered a refund. At this point, I just want this to be over and I enter the courtyard, down $44 dollars for a show I thought would only be $20. As I enter, I hear them yell "douche" over and over at me. This sort of soured the night for me and we left soon after that. If you're a regular here then I'm sure you enjoy it, but it is not for new people and it is definitely not a welcoming environment. The food smelled good at least.

It…read moreturned out that was the band, which meant it was just the two of us girls, so we decided we'd just have a drink and see what happens. It was 2 p.m. afterall, so not a lot of people were out in general. Turns out the band was great! Then people started trickling in and there was a good crowd enjoying the music with us. We had a great time, chatted with other patrons and a few of the band members. Good drinks, prices are on the higher end at ~$15, but still affordable. I had a Pimm's cup which was refreshing, they are served in souvenir to go cups that are really cute. Glad we decided to stay! A great time was had.

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.

Y'all. Y'ALL…read more Are you in NoLa for some reason? Any reason at all? Are you hungry??? Do you like cocktails, and a well-curated wine list, and an INSANE bourbon list? Do you like a plate of food that speaks classy without punching you in the wallet, and servers who don't hover, but can answer even the most random questions you could have about the stuff on your plate? Look no further, friend. Right off the bat, after arriving on a Friday around 4:45 PM we were seated promptly, given water and the tastiest little sweet yeast rolls ever (the tops actually crackled when you squish them you guys), and made our bevvie choices. Tonic with lime for me (I'm behaving rn) and an Old Fashioned for wifey. Killer. We skipped the appetizer course and ended up ordering off the specials menu for both meals. She got braised brisket with deviled egg potato salad (fantastic!) and I got grilled Amberjack with roasted Brussels, topped with pickled peppers, onion, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil and Crema. Did I mention this place has a rustic atmosphere, and cozy feel, AND a Michelin recco without a dress code required?!? We had Lemon Buttermilk Icebox pie for dessert... MY GODS. This pile of words I just typed doesn't do this place justice. Chef Link has got something special going here, and his butcher shop next door is totally groovy too. I can't rave enough about this place, and I wish it wasn't so dang far from Texas, but hey, it's just another in a list of damn fine reasons to come visit the fine folks of NoLa again.

If you are reading this, which of course I know you are, BE PREPARED FOR A LONG WAIT! If you read…read morethe whole review I'll give you the best tip on how to skip the line (insert shushing emoji) and don't cheat by skipping to the end! Hands down, the best po'boys in all of NOLA. Everything is made from scratch (except the bread, which they source locally), and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the Surf & Turf and the James Brown. The Surf & Turf gives you get the best of both worlds (shout out to Hannah Montana). Look it up kids. You get the slow-cooked roast beef with gravy plus fresh Gulf shrimp. Shut the front door! The James Brown is just as incredible: juicy BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese, fried shrimp, and a hot sauce mayo. Bring napkins - you'll need them. Pro tip: go with a group and order a few different po'boys to share. You'll want to try everything. You made it to the end, so here we go. I feel like gate keeping (look it up old-timers), but I'm going to be generous because I love y'all. In order to skip the line, go to the bar area and find a high top or seat at the bar. A seat always opens up quickly. It never fails. You can order from the bartender and the service is top notch. Cheers y'all!
