      My friends and I made a trip down to New Orleans and we made it a point to go off the beaten path to experience what the locals experience.

      The service was amazing, the vibes, everything.. so much fun!
      Next time we come back, I will definitely come back.

      Being an out of towner, we were expected to be treated differently but it was far from it! Had a blast, 10/10 would recommend.

      We were told that the best part of New Orleans is the music. We came here because they had a free cover band. The band was amazing. They played a ton of hits and threw in some line dances. I am glad we came here. The place is crowded and they serve plenty of drinks.

      I gladly tipped the band $20. Please stop by during live music nights.

      Such a fun venue. They have no cover and require just one drink minimum -- they have a broad range of frozen drinks, cocktails, beers, and wines although be mindful that because they ask for no cover charge, some drinks are pricey.

      We went here twice on our short vacation because the bands were great and the service was attentive.

      And if you have a small bladder like me, they have 4 separate restrooms. Came in clutch during Mardi Gras season.

      One of my fav spots on Frenchmen street. Great music- Very upbeat. Jazz music here is more modern style. Drinks are good too. Good place to hangout for sets. Gets really busy in weekend eves. MUST try for jazz on frenchmen street. Also good for one drink per person min and band tip.

      Nice spot to hangout in the afternoon with some old jazz from the 40s and 50s while sipping some cold brews or cocktails. Service by the bartender lady is nice and the prices for the drinks are the average price as found in most places.
      Didn't see any food but maybe we missed it as our focus was to listening some jazz and chill with some cold beer.

      My friend and I stumbled upon this bar walking on Frenchmen street and I am SO glad we stopped in for 1.5 hours! Not sure if that's long or short but we listened to their entire set(s). There were no cover. The band was amazing and I'm glad my money went to the band as a tip/donation. I have a new appreciation for jazz music! Definitely stop by if you can!

      BEST bar on Frenchmen with the best band! They sang HBD to me and it was spectacular. I'll never forget it and glad I got it on video. This place is perfect for the authentic NOLA vibe.
