Bourbon Bandstand

What a great music venue to visit while in NOLA! We heard some great music (both day and night) here. It's a local "divey" bar on Bourbon street, but the drinks and service were as you would expect on a busy night in the French Quarter. Be patient, and sit back and enjoy the show! Will definitely go back!

Visited it in October 2024! Great vibes & fun! Found out my 3x great grandparents used to live in that house in the 1850's!!

Walked in here on a Friday night and saw an amazing live band, Beasts of Bourbon. They played Tina Turner, Bruno Mars, and some other well-known artists. It wasn't too crowded so there was plenty of room to dance. Had a great time here dancing wildly around.

Live music! Honestly the draw here is that this place is in the heart of the French quarter and seems to have live music all the time. They had a full bar and some cocktail recommendations- hurricane, sex on the beach, liquid marijuana. There were a few bar top tables to enjoy the band and room to stand or dance as the night went on. Music was good even in the mid afternoon on a Wednesday- pop in for some songs and enjoy!

Live music, great bands, cold drinks and cocktails catching up with friends! Bartenders are friendly, place is a hole in the wall and on Bourbon Street what more can you ask for? They have an upstairs balcony to view Bourbon street as well.

Great spot for after dinner drinks and we were fortunate to find a spot on the balcony because there is no inside drinking allowed these days due to COVID. Second floor, overlooking the insanity of Bourbon Street.Two-for-one specials meant that I now have two cold beers to drink. I'm not sad.[Review 14209 overall, 1531 of 2020, number 29 in Louisiana.]

Stopped in to watch Willie Lockett and the Blues Krewe. Had a few drinks. The bartender was terrific. Fast service. She was also beautiful. Winning!

This place was empty during Mardi Gras at 5:30pm should tell you everything you need to know. The band singer was a creep to girls 10+ younger than him. Said to one girl " if you keep acting up I'm going to make you remove your top" (she wasn't acting up). I was pressed by security for having a glass on the balcony I was apologetic and still almost got kicked out. Very next interaction I was begged for tips for said band. Drinks were extremely expensive. I understand its location and what that means but this place took it too far. Choose any other bar you'll have a better time.

This band was everything!!! They were very good, covered a variety of music. We stayed for hours and entertained the entire time.

Great band! However they were aggressive with the tube shots and after an hour we left after getting hounded 6-7 times and them not understanding what "no thank you" means.
