Chickie Wah Wah

Saw a show here and it was amazing.Long island iced tea was strong enough for a man, but PH balanced for a woman. Bar service was quick and no nonsense. Prices are reasonable.Sound was great and there's space in front of the stage for dancing. Come early and grab one of the tables against the wall and nice and close to the stage.Only complaint is getting to the bathroom means crossing in front of the stage so watching people either needing to piss or freshly empty got old pretty quick.

I absolutely love this music venue. Intimate, friendly, laid back. Interesting mix of music. Warm and efficient staff. Bartenders great. Generous pours, good prices. Free refills on soft drinks. Bathroom clean. They have an attached room that's like a big porch for smokers and yakkers. There's space for standing and a few small tables with stools if you get there early. Dancing encouraged. There is an expectation of the crowd to be respectful when music is playing. I love that. Hate it when people talk during a performance. The sound system is LOUD. I usually wear earplugs because I have tinnitus. Sometimes it's hard to understand the lyrics. Something needs tweaking in the sound system. Easy street parking.

Chuckle Wah Wah is one of a handful of iconic NOLA music venues that make New Orleans what it is. They bring in only the best talent. Barkeeps are friendly and know their craft although the bar doesn't seem to have an exotic collection of spirits. Walls are adorned with bills from past shows featuring music royalty over the years. A must destination for true music fans.

Super nice vibes at Chickie Wah Wah! Kermit had to pay for their re-opening . The owners are awesome!! I enjoyed my night + service there. Love that's it's conveniently located right on Canal Street.

Just as i feared the new ownership group appears to have put money/profit over everything. A convenience fee on every "ticket". Can anyone tell me just what that is?? At certain shows all tables and chairs removed which I have to assume is to again increase profit. And now "Reserved" tables for some shows at increased per ticket cost ? WTH??

Went on a Wednesday night. The cover was $27 which I thought was a lot for a casual venue during non-fest time, but hoped it was going to support the band (later found out nope) short set, reasonably priced drinks good selection of wine. Weird light up display listing drinks maybe helpful to bar staff but not supporting the groovy decor. Super short set.

Last year during JazzFest I squeezed into the small Chickie Wah Wahs to catch Jon Cleary, the great Englishman who came to New Orleans and stayed keeping the light shining on New Orleans style piano and vocals. Chickie Wah Wah is small and always slamming with a small stage and a great sound. Great local artists perform there and while there is no food, this is a place to soak in great music. After Cleary played a set he stood up and said he wanted to bring a friend from across the pond to join him and Tom Jones, who was standing a few feet behind me unbeknown to me walked right past me to the small stage where he belted out 5 numbers dedicated to Jerry Lee Lewis who was in the hospital. It's nights like this that make New Orleans magical and a place like Chickie Wah Wah that offers the stage for the magic to happen.

Nice, small venue. Decent drinks and service will likely be back. Our show was wayyyyyyyyyy shorter than any other show I've been to in years, lasted maybe 20 minutes, but that wasn't the venues fault at all

I've only been there once so take this review with a grain of salt. The staff was absolutely delightful and the band was terrific. I hear they used to have food but don't anymore. They do get food trucks in I'm told. Anyway had a blast there. Probably a 10 min bike ride or less down canal from the FQ. Worth a visit for sure.

So being a mid city resident we were extremely happy that this place had opened up again. However this new management is trying to milk us for every penny. A $20 advertised ticket is actually $27.50 because they add tax(ok we understand that one), then a "convenience fee" and also a "credit card fee"! What a lot of whohaw! Next they have decided to offer true cocktails usually with only 2 bartenders. This slows down EVERYTHING and just getting a beer takes 20 minutes. Seriously at least Dale understood his audience. The way it's going now I suspect they will have to close their doors soon because we can't afford to get this nickel and dimed!
