    Great bartenders. Super friendly. They don't charge the 18% plus charge to use a card like some other places on Bourbon street. Great people watching. Loved the balcony view. The live music is a huge plus.

    Good selection of craft beers, I was so happy they had a Stout and Porter to offer. The bartender was very attentive and fast he even came out to the courtyard several times to serve me and bring drinks which came very fast as well. The front door attendant was very friendly and welcoming. The manager was awesome he knew his menu and had awesome recommendations. Cleanest bathrooms I used on Bourbon Street and in New Orleans. I would stop back in here just for the cleanliness on its own. Overall great staff, drinks, and a good experience, would recommend.

    They've got live music everyday with a different group or artist. The service is great, I lost my jacket a day prior, came back the next day, and they had it. 5/5.

    This place pulled us in as we were walking by. The vibe, the music, the customers fit us well. It was laid back and inviting. The server came to our table almost immediately. The drinks were delicious, but terribly overpriced. 17 bucks a drink before tip! The musicians were really good and we enjoyed our drinks and moved on down the street.

    Really cool set up with tons of space if needed. The whole place wasn't open when I went but I'm sure that's mainly just due to the fact there wasn't a ton of people there during my visit and it was still fairly early into the day. Was a nice experience though and everyone that I was with did enjoy their drinks..

    Life is sometimes full of coincidences - like our visit to The Drinkery - a place where you can enjoy live music and drink what ever you will - like great beer. Lovely place - but if you want to sit, drink and talk - forget about it - the live music is loud, very loud - and any kind of dialogue must take place at a screaming level.

    Carly was Super cute and sweet. Took pics for us, made beautiful drinks. We enjoyed the courtyard for a bit. A little pricey, but when you're on Vaca money is just paper.😎

    One of the nicer nightclubs on Bourbon St. They waive the cover if you buy drinks. That keeps the club less crowded than others. Second floor has lots of nice furniture, and of course a big balcony, perfect to enjoy the passing by crowd on Bourbon st, and participate in the tradition of throwing beads. Music is load, drinks are decently priced and not watered down like other nearby places.

    This place is awesome!!! Great beer and drink selections. Live music is fantastic. Not a dance club although room to dance by band. Don’t miss out and staff is great.

  • 3/5 Shruti M. 5 months ago on Google
    Good place for live music but the cocktails are okay but expensive (approx $16-$18 each) even the ones on tap. Also the menus don’t have pricing which is difficult for a tourist. Didn’t try any food - not sure if there was any.

  • 5/5 Rob S. 6 months ago on Google
    great hometime feel, excellent staff the drink selection is awesome. from the door, wait and bar staff were amazing. and let's not forget the music, they never let you down. changes up a couple times a day but great from Rock to Blues to R&B they have it all. the only downside is no food service, but can order from any of the locals around and eat it their while you enjoy the night life or brunch.

    We only had drinks here but enjoyed our time. The sound system is great, the band is great as well. The tap cocktails were more expensive than i expected, highly diluted too. I got nothing left on me to tip the band.

  • 5/5 Luz Adriana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Steve Mignano Band was presenting during my visit to NOLA. Great night!!! awesome music and excellent attention by Charny L.

  • 5/5 quinn r. 1 year ago on Google
    Had such a great time here, this place was much more my style than a lot of the other music bars in this area. Incredible rock band and great atmosphere. I will surely be back the next time I'm in NOLA.

  • 5/5 Oliver D. 10 months ago on Google
    People. This place is a serious slice of heaven. Come in on an afternoon for some chill vibes and excellent drinks. Ask for NOELLE, best bartender in NOLA. She will take care of you. She crafted some beautiful and original cocktails for my buddy and I. This punctuated the weekend. Enjoy all!

  • 5/5 Victoria M. 10 months ago on Google
    Stopped in to have a drink since there was a band playing. Very nice vibes and friendly bartenders. I got The Saint Margarita, and it was very good and refreshing.

  • 5/5 Kris H. 11 months ago on Google
    The bartenders were fast. Drinks were a bit overpriced. We walked by many times and stopped in here twice to check out the live music. Unfortunately there wasn't any jazz style, just cover bands. But they were decent for small bands.

  • 5/5 Clayton H. 10 months ago on Google
    Noelle is the best bartender we’ve had in a while. She came up with a delicious coffee flavored Old Fashioned on the fly and it blew us away. The music is amazing and it’s a very chill vibe for Bourbon Street. I also recommend The Buckshot or Wake Me Up shot, but that’s a whole other experience!

  • 5/5 Maureen N. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such a sweet spot to stumble into! We went in for a drink, but ended up hanging out for a few hours. The courtyard had the best breeze, the band was great, but best of all was our server, Lena! If you go in, make sure to ask for Lena because she is fantastic!

  • 4/5 John L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great environment and jazz. Pierre is the best! Smile and personality…needs to be up front more!! They should have some higher end drinks (Bourbon!) and proper drinkware and it could be perfect.

  • 5/5 Erik H. 1 year ago on Google
    Get there early to enjoy the live music at a reasonable sound volume, because as it gets later and the younger drinking crowd comes in the live music volume got too loud to continue to enjoy. The wait staff were great, and the drinks were tasty, but very light on alcohol as we're not big drinkers and we didn't feel anything at all from their hurricanes.

  • 5/5 Ed O. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic music two nights in a row. Excellent musicians. I enjoyed the beer, especially the bourbon stout and the Irish channel Stout. And it didn't hurt that 5 Miss universe contestants came in after the pageant to enjoy the night. I will be back on my next visit to New Orleans.

    Had a blast here. Great bar. Loved the back patio outdoor area. Good music. Bulleit Rye Old Fashions we’re wonderful. I recommend this bar stop!
