I got married there in June 2024. The venue was great for what we wanted for our special day. Chip,…read morethe manager was great to work with all during the process. He was very transparent and the contract was clear. When we sent an email he responded immediately. The venue offered all the decorations we needed for the tables. He allowed us to come in the day prior to set-up some of the items we brought in for the event. We hosted both the wedding ceremony and the reception there. We had the option for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony. The venue was very clean and spacious. They offer a variety of food options mostly buffet style with an open bar with some great beverage options. Both were outstanding!! The staff was very professional and patient. On a chaotic day you want a vendor/venue to help everything flow smoothly. The venue offers a room for the bride and bride-maids an other room for the groom and groomsmen.

It was supremely delicious and made for a great combination of flavors. Companion had filet and was extremely pleased with it. Appetizer portion was designed to be individual, but we split a crab cake, which was acceptable but not as delicious as any I've had in Baltimore. Excellent spot for romantic indulgence or a milestone family celebration. They were able to seat us on Christmas Eve though we didn't have a reservation. It was busy, but the restaurant seating area is quite large, extending across multiple rooms. Decor is very tasteful and traditional, with white linens atop round cafe tables, small oil lamps next to the salt and pepper, and placid landscapes on the wall. Might be too dim for some eyes to read the menu, but perfect for relaxing and focusing on the taste of the food. Attire ranged from polo and slacks to full suit for men, and night-out black dress to special occasion blazer and skirt for ladies. It would not be appropriate to wear a t-shirt or shorts, but I felt fine without a jacket, but in a formal vest. Be prepared to spend at least $50 per person, $80-$100 if you intend to have alcohol.

The food was catered and on the menu there was BBQ Shrimp and grits, eggs, potatoes, quiche (small bites), bacon, sausage, a variety of fruit and pastries. There was as small band that was excellent! We had a custom bar with a few drinks. It was an excellent setting for a small/medium size group and I highly recommend it if you're hosting an event for no more than 75 people.

On Saturday, 2/14/2026 (Valentine's Day), my wife and I paid $400.00 to spend 6:00 pm 11:59 pm at…read morethe Bourbon Vieux. The price included an open buffet, open bar and controlled balcony access. Unfortunately, we had to leave early after being physically threatened by two, very intoxicated, 22year old white males. My wife had not had a single alcoholic beverage and at this point I had only consumed two beers. We were simply trying to navigate the balcony to the corner area that was empty. One of the men was sitting on top of a table with his feet resting on the balcony opposite the table which was completely blocking passage. My wife was ahead of me and when she tried to pass, the young man blocking passage just looked at her with a very blank stare. My wife is East Indian, 5'0', 96 pounds and immediately felt threated. She moved back to me and said "What should we do?". I moved past her to the man's legs and pointed to the area we were headed. He just looked at me blankly. I turned back and thought of going through the inside, but there was a LOT of traffic. I turned again and looked at him and then just pushed through with just enough force for him to drop his legs and allow passage. We went to the open area at the corner where we were heading and were immediately confronted by the young man that had been blocking passage along with his friend. Both white males. They got to within inches of me and my wife and began telling us how bad we "F'd Up" and they were about to kick both of our !@@#@. My wife was terrified. The were both VERY intoxicated and wobbling while trying to simply stand in front of us. We told them we didn't want any trouble and had simply been trying to get by. This turned into an argument and I felt like they would begin throwing punches any second. I pushed my wife behind me. There was no other people around us. It was just me, my wife and these two young/very drunk men. The Bourbon Vieux staff came and began trying to get the two young men back to the area they had been. This went on for at least five minutes as they continued very threatening language. They finally walked back over, but continued to stare at us. Not just the two white males, them and now several others. I spoke to one of the staff members that had intervened, Monica, and told her we still felt very threatened. I told her that kind of behavior and those two men didn't belong and didn't promate a safe environment. She advised me she agreed and was in the process of escalating the incident to have them removed. For the next 30-45 minutes, we moved around the Bourbon Vieux property, but always within eyesight of this group that seemed determined to either scare us or inflict physical harm. We went to the front desk staff, explained we would not feel comfortable if that group remained and requested a refund. The front desk staff told us they would take care of the situation. They then summoned the same staff member Monica and the Man that had also been previously involved that was part of security (he refused to give his name). They told us they couldn't give us a refund and the group, by law, "Could Not Be Removed". So this was a first. I don't think I've heard of a bar that was not legally allowed to remove patrons who were drunk and disorderly. Monica advised us she could not make them leave. Monica told us she could only notify the Sheriff. I looked it up online and could not find anything to verify this. If this is true, it's just crazy. If one city in the country needs bouncers, it's New Orleans. So, we left. My wife was extremely intimidated and scared. I told the man that had come with security that my wife was intimidated and afraid they were going to beat the !@##$ out of us. He smiled and said "Did they beat the !@#$ out of you?" He thought it was funny. Needless to say, we had a terrible night and felt both violated and ripped off. $400! In my opinion, this kind of customer service is criminal!

5 of us bought tickets for the balcony Mardi Gras festivities on Saturday March 2 from 11-5. Price…read moreincluded a buffet and open bar and a great wrap around balcony to watch all the people. Food was good, bartenders were excellent. They gave different colored wrist bands and they swapped people out every hour I think so everyone got a chance to go outside. We left and walked around and came back twice. It was nice to have bathrooms and bar and AC. My only complaint was the light in the hallway to ladies room was so dark you almost had to be on top of the door to see it. The coffee was not so good but everything else was tasty. It is a great place to enjoy to day and people watch and to be able to walk around and come back. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a Mardi Gras experience next year. Just know not a on a parade route it is the Bourbon street experience.
