Becherovka VoyagerJuly 17, 2013Get away from the tourists in the French Quarter, and go where the locals go to hear the best jazz in the city. Best part? You can bring Becherovka with you in a to-go cup.
RobinWBMarch 18, 2015Off the beaten tourist path- live music, great food, no vomiting frat boys who can't handle their liquor. It's where adults go to have a good time and soak up that NOLA vibe.- Tony TJune 20, 2017It's a concentration of simple Jazz & Blues clubs on Frenchmen Street. It's a fest on the street! An easy place to meet new people wanting nothing more than to chill just like you!
Andrew CJuly 14, 2018Love it here... so many street performers and live music everywhere -- plenty of venues with no or low cover and great live bands playing all night!!!
Nate TinnerJanuary 17, 2017Lots of middling music venues, with one or two standouts. Lots of jam sessions to be listened in on.
amy cesario Denver Real EstateNovember 8, 2014This was my favorite street experience in New Orleans. Art, music, great food!
- Maison offers a good variety of musicians and friendly service! Try them out! Lots of fun there! My favorite group is The Tanglers.
- Café Rose Nicaud has THE BEST pecan tarts & Hibiscus tea! They also feature wraps, coffees, bakery items & great breakfast sandwiches! #NOLA #NOLAYum
Katherine M.November 13, 2015Bar after bar of excellent live music. This is the place to go at night, not Bourbon Street (gag me).
Connie ChiuMay 2, 2017Come here for a little more class and much better music. Has gotten surprisingly crowded over the years!- The Spotted Cat - What a FABULOUS place for live music, dancing if you want, and drinks. Relaxed, friendly, fun!
- MichelleSeptember 16, 2011d.b.a., The Spotted Cat, Snug Harbor, Mimi’s in the Marigny… Molly’s (they have really tasty frozen irish coffees)
Michelle PalermoMarch 4, 2014Where the locals go for hands down best Jazz in the city. Take a cab from Bourbon it's not safe to walk it-
Olmedo MirandaOctober 31, 2016Better than Bourbon, in the sense that is not THAT crazy. Lots of places with live music!
TessaMarch 23, 2015Come here if you enjoy music, art, good food and drinks, and a happy and relaxed vibe. Amazing spot
ChrisMarch 10, 2015Frenchmen St. is s great place to hangout and see live music, grab food or get a tattoo.
Mark MulderOctober 18, 2019Better than Bourbon Street if you're looking for the real live music experience
LorenzoApril 19, 2015Music, bars, street fairs. All the good of New Orleans without the drunken madness.
Take in the amazing atmosphere and enjoy the live bands playing in the street- Catfish bites at The Praline Connection are THE BEST! #nola #dishcrawlnola #yum
- Definitely go to Snug Harbor for dinner and excellent jazz!
Nobody should ever forget that 19 people were shot on Frenchmen St, on Mothers Day 2013.
Frenchmen is what Bourbon was 40 years ago. We'd like to stay the way we are
- If you came to New Orleans for the party, stay on Bourbon. This you'll find boring
If you're a tourist -- stay on Bourbon Street! This is the last place for the locals to go out and have great drinks, great music & fun with friends without "kitschy drinks" & t-shirt shops!
- Gabriel HayesSeptember 26, 2015Great neighborhood to go out in New Orleans. While the French Quarter is an experience, this is a more organic local experience.
- Never pull out a pack of cigarettes on the street. You'll be swarmed
