Bourbon Heat

My 5 star review of this place was based off of going downstairs during the day. I made the mistake of going upstairs at night on a weekend. Apparently this type of place does something for a lot of people, but I got some of the worst vibes I've ever gotten from a bar. The place was like an apocalypse. There were so so many people flooding the courtyard and the upstairs level and barely any staff to be seen which just made me nervous. The courtyard was completely unstaffed and thus a power vacuum was created in which random men set up chairs every where and talked to women however they wanted to. Not sure why the bar down there was closed. I wouldn't have known where to go to get to a bar if my friends didn't know because I didn't see any signs directing me upstairs or to where the bathrooms were. I felt like I was just in some random alley.When I got upstairs it was too loud and packed to be able to order a drink and I couldn't walk around without being completely surrounded by my friends for safety. The floor was actually moving up and down when you walked with how many people were jumping on it. Ladies couldn't walk a foot away from the group without being grabbed up or having clothing items stolen by strangers. This is the kind of thing that goes on here in full view of the bartenders so apparently it's what some people want. Personally, I was too afraid to even stand in line for the bar. After I left I was followed many blocks by some of the horrible patrons of this place.

We stopped in here on a random walk, as they had misters out front, and it looked to be nice and cool inside. We were the first patrons in the bar for the day, which meant we had the bar tender all to ourselves.This is a great bar to stop at on your stroll around Bourbon Street. They had delicious drinks, and what looked to be a decent food menu. The bar tender was super friendly and we had live music to soothe the ears.Let's be honest, we liked this place so much, we stopped again in the afternooon on our back home and still got to see the awesome musician. This is just a fun stop to cool off from that New Orlean's heat!

Absolutely loved this place. We had 2 bartenders and they were both very friendly and fast with their service. Nice ambiance with live music, the bathrooms could have been cleaner... the shrimp appetizer was pretty good

This place is sweet, y'all! Can't beat the courtyard for lunch! Dinnertime Mike charmed us in and Jacob, our server, took great care of us. Recommend the band-bang shrimp, gumbo and red beans & rice. You will not be disappointed!

Stopped in on Halloween for a drink. Nice bartender, clean and attractive bar. A bit pricey, $23 for a Tito's Soda and a Coors light, compared to $15 for the same order at Lafitte's.

Look no further!Dinner time Mike waived us in and sold it. We could not be more grateful. He's a funny and authentic guy. We come to NOLA a lot and this has been by far the best service we have received ever while visiting here. Jake is extraordinary. He's courteous, down to earth, efficient and just an overall cool kat (said us both lol) The courtyard is well maintained, and such a nice way to spend the day in the sunshine. The live music is top notch and happy hour specials are delightful. We like it here and we will return. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk. Also, bloody Mary's here are supposed to be extraordinary for two people. My stomach can't handle that today but it's certainly a must.

First let's start with the awesome looking seating area. It was so beautiful here. And great for photos! Our server was amazing. Helped us with what to pick and drink. And the po boy was great! Be aware that the spicy poboy has a little kick to it. So be sure to order a glass of water on the side lol.

The food, service and ambiance was great! We went twice while we were in town. They have a great Happy Hour 7 days a week. BOGO bottled beers, 24oz draft beer for the price of a 10oz and a double well shot cocktail for the price of a single. Devon was our waiter the first time we stopped in and he was very attentive. Provided great service and even charged my phone behind the bar for me. We stopped in for the second time on our last day in NOLA and Kaet was our bartender and she exceptional! Great service and convo! We'll definitely be back here when we come back. The first time we were there, we got a fried chicken sandwich and it wasn't the best...we would try something else the next time. But we just split it since we weren't too hungry. The fries are delicious! They test like Arby's curly fries!

The food and the service were grand. However, the ambiance of the restaurant is marred by the dance club music at 5 PM. Turn that on at 10! No one who goes out to dance goes out before 10 PM. Seriously.Thank goodness the food was good and I was hungry, on "vacation" and had already had a drink. Would not come back for dinner after 5 PM.Three stars for the food. No stars for the club music before 10 PM (even 8 PM!)

Dinner Time Mike was VERY helpful! Told me some really key information about Bourbon Heat and New Orleans in general. Came for Taco Tuesday and the ambiance is incredible! Amazing band, and the food was excellent. We loved the Bang Bang Shrimp! Clean bathrooms! BOGO drinks till 7! I would recommend this to everybody! Always ask for Dinner Time Mike!
