- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018Party with music legends at this famous venue for live music. Come early to snap a few pics of the artsy interior. Don't want to stand for the show? Balcony seats are first come with comfy seats.

Ellen DeGeneresMarch 12, 2012I heard my friend Barbara Menendez's band play here. They're called "The Help" and they are amazing.
DobDecember 8, 2013It is really an amazing place. All is music... And of real quality... And the food which these bright people recommend is worth tasting. A must to be visited...
Erik RowleyFebruary 3, 2015Never got to see a concert here but the food was very good. Will have to come back so I can compare it to the Chicago one.
Carrie CrawfordJanuary 28, 2017This was a stop for my husband and I on our move out to New Mexico. Wish we could've stayed longer. The bartender was so nice. We only got drinks tho.
Amy ClarkeNovember 27, 2023Best jambalaya, shrimp pasta, and bread pudding. Love music was good too!
NatalieSeptember 29, 2015Try the bread pudding, you can thank me later. Super generous portion and covered in caramel.
Yasmin SanchezMay 9, 2016Great atmosphere! I visited on 5/8/16, and had the best host and waitress. Food and dessert were both great. Interesting decor.
Christopher PiazzaSeptember 24, 2014Very different from HOB Orlando but in a good way. There's a great atmosphere and the venue always has something going on!
Grisell MDecember 30, 2018“Super silent disco”: you wear headphones to listen either DJ’s depending on the color you select. Weird 🤪
Erick GreeneApril 5, 2012Parking in Canal Place parking garage is the best deal when visiting House of Blues NOLA. Ask your server or hostess about validating your ticket for cheaper parking!- Gambit New OrleansNovember 16, 2012Play Gambit’s 2012 Bar Stampede at House of Blues and you could win $1,000 in New Orleans bar tabs. Look for the secret code word in this bar to enter to win. Promotion ends December 30, 2012 Read more
Jessica LakeMarch 31, 2017Awesome venue. Attended a wedding there and the staff were attentive, professional, and efficient.- AT&TMarch 30, 2012Come by the AT&T Fan Zone at Bracket Town at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on Mon, April 2, for a chance to get an autograph from basketball legends Jay Williams, David Robinson, & John Havlicek!
Amaury TouchyourTrililiJune 25, 2018Gumbo as appetizer, smokehouse platter as entrees with add mac&cheese, a must have
One of the best concert venues! I can't count how many shows I've been to here!- Amaury TouchyourTrililiJune 25, 2018Gumbo as appetizer, smokehouse platter as entrees with mac&cheese, a must have
Iris ThompsonJuly 14, 2017Love the live music. But the Shrimp and Grits was disappointing. The grits were shaped into a patty and fried. A little hard. Not creamy at all.
Krewe of RocckusFebruary 21, 2011Better Than Ezra's Krewe of Rocckus is counting down to Mardi Gras! The band is proud to include HOB as one of many official destinations on the agenda. Get in on the action @
VH1July 21, 2010Perfect happy hour spot every day from 3-6pm. Live music on the patio plus cheap eats and drinks! It’s a great way to kick off the weekend. – Team Live Nation- VH1July 21, 2010One really cool thing about this location is that sections of the building’s structure dates back to 1890, where it was used as a trading post, warehouse, and shoe factory. – Team Live Nation
- Melanie TurnerDecember 5, 2014The only reason to visit here, in my humble opinion, is if there is a performance you want to see.
SaraJanuary 25, 2011Awesome service, we went here twice because of Josh! The entire restaurant is awesome...will return if we are ever in NOLA again!
Evan ForceMay 27, 2012Abby is an excellent manager. She has great report with guests and works hard to help her staff.
Andrea MenziesDecember 4, 2018What used to be a good music venue has turned to garbage over the years. They hate their customers now here.
Shannon HoltMarch 5, 2014The best face and body at Mardi Gras by Bombshell Body Art!!! (yes that's us!!!) bombshellbodyart.com
Tuesday on the patio is open mic comedy. Thursday on the patio is closed mic comedy. Something for everyone, good and terrible. Mostly terrible.
haunted by the spirit of Dan Akroyd. He is not yet dead, just doing research for Ghostbusters 3.

- Andrea MenziesDecember 4, 2018Beware their random searches. A fun place for shows, but they hate their customers.
Love this place! Caroline the cocktail waitress is the best!!
Shelley HillDecember 18, 2013I really can't but I'd love to be able to go here someday. I bet everything is unbelievable and fantastic. So I recommend 100% you could never go wrong with the blues and food and drinks. Wow!!
randy guilminoFebruary 13, 2015Led Zeppelin 2 performed last night. Good show but singer was a little off.
