Great music, food, service, and cocktails. We always go to the Bayou Bar when we travel to New Orleans. Now they have a reservation system implemented, but you can still find some first come first serve seating. I had the gumbo and my husband always gets the fish sandwich. It is huge!Definitely get there early if you want a table and make sure to tip the band.

This place is a gem in the general lower Garden District/Garden District area of New Orleans because it has the best live jazz in the city six days a week. Some of the top performers in town play here regularly and it's just awesome. The cocktails and wine list are great and I have been here several times this summer. I finally had some appetizers, the wings and the fries were delicious. I know the restaurant where the food comes from is actually quite outstanding as well And the service staff are very pleasant. My favorite cocktail is the Hibis-Kiss and it's delicious! But really I come for the music and the laid-back vibe!

Stopped by after a football game on a whim for a quick snack and drink. We had 3 adults and 2 kids and they had no problem accommodating us. The food was very good -- catfish sandwich, wings, and kids chicken fingers and fries. Abe was amazing! So funny and sweet on top of being an amazing bartender. We didn't have to ask for anything.. it's like he could read our minds!!!! Will definitely be back.

The daytime bartender really is a gem. She was so friendly and welcoming, makes a hell of a tasty drink, and I will say - when t was slow she didn't stop working. She was keeping the place orderly and clean. I ended up working there for a couple hours after checkout and she was the best. I ordered the Molly Ringwald as my "because why not?" And it was delightful. Had the rib tips for lunch and they were also fantastic. Sweet and full of flavor. Great addition the hotel experience!

Great food, drinks and service. We also got there right when the live music was about to start so we enjoyed that as well. The space is definitely cozy but we liked that.We started off with wine and cocktails. For food we got the loaded hummus and the pork belly. The hummus was amazing. They used green chickpeas, sundried tomatoes and goat ricotta, served with pita. So tasty! All the components worked really well together. The pork belly came on top of collard greens and creamed corn. The whole bite with everything was such a good bite. Service was so great. Jason was helpful with answering questions and checking in on us a couple times even though it was packed.

This was our late night hangout during the first nights of our stay. We had the place to ourselves and the staff's full attention. The third time we tried to get in there was live music and the place was full to the doors. The music sounded great but we couldn't get in. Can't fault them for being successful. We'll try again before we leave for sure. Great place.

What a fantastic spot located inside the Pontchartrain Hotel. If you're a fan of Anne Rice or AMC's show "Mayfair Witches" I highly recommend a nightcap here! The bar closes at 11PM, during the week, but if you're in the area around 7PM I recommend stopping in for some live music!
