Dew Drop Inn Hotel & Lounge

Do yourself a favor and book a room at the Dew Drop Inn! Whether you're traveling to New Orleans for business or pleasure, this is the place to be! It's a newly renovated historic site where big jazz names used to come and perform. As far as our stay, it was lovely. The staff members were so nice and helpful and made us feel right at home. (I LOVE my girl Taz) The room was so cute and clean and the location is prime! We were out and about so we didn't get a chance to experience the on premises dining/live music but already know it's a vibe! We will definitely be back soon

From the grand opening weekend to my most recent visit for Rechell Cook's live performance, Dew Drop Inn has provided me with memorable experiences. Corey the bartender knows what he is doing and has been consistent in the crafting of my drinks. Tarik has become the server I look for. He is polite, attentive and accommodating. The food is always satisfying and served hot. The only negatives are that the wait for food and drinks is too long and the floor plan doesn't always account for the expected attendance. The seating arrangements do not take into consideration the varying body types/sizes of the guests or the space needed once guests are seated in their chairs. That made it especially difficult for the servers Tarik and Paris, who are thin people.This historic venue does not limit itself to traditional jazz showcases. From national renowned hip hop duo Partners N Crime to tantalizing burlesque dancers, the calendar of events has something for everyone.Until next time...

This is my fourth visit to Dew Drop Inn but my first review. Shame on me!!! This is definitely a gem of history, a one stop shop for history, food, fun, and stay the night in one of the celebrity named room. This jewel offers interactive experiences and on the spot tours of this amazing museum, hotel, club, and pool oasis. I have not experienced the pool parties but friends have raved. Their menu caters to the masses. From cocktails to mocktails. Quesadillas and shrimp. There is something for everyone. Do not miss out on the opportunity to explore the museum with authentic pieces and sound bites from the era when Dew Drop Inn was the cornerstone of Black culture and entrepreneurship. You will be captivated by the staff who embraces the history and caters to true Southern hospitality. If you are luck, you just might meet the owner whose vision was to restore this gem to its original state and best as possible. Well done, sir. I am informed and wiser from this experience and grateful to have walked the same stairs and hallways of so many greats. Stop by and tell them Nikisha sent you! *I was so immersed in my experiences I only have few pics. None of my food or drinks.

Goodness gracious. A time was had. We started with the mini museum a nod to Dew Drop role as a cultural nexus for Black music. The exhibit briefly transported us back to the 60s. We went for the Wednesday night Jam Session. Tons of brilliant musicians and singers showcasing NOLA's finest. It was a wild mostly improvisational ride with a mix of classic songs and some original music. Go early, get a seat, and enjoy. It's New Orleans, so the food and drinks were quality as well.

What a cute little hotel. YOU CAN CONTROL THE FAN IN YOUR ROOM!I booked with them not knowing they had a lounge below and that it can be loud from time to time. I booked because the reviews were good, looked clean. And yeah. Let's dive inside. Rolled up around 10 pm, had trouble finding the door but some sweet gal said it's the door on the furthest left as you're looking at the building. Walked in and was instantly greeted. He was polite, cool, and just honestly a ray of sunshine after a long day of meetings and travel. Mentioned I'd like a room furthest away from the lounge as I had to get up early for work the next day. He understood and put me in his great uncles room. Fun fact, the rooms are names for famous musicians that played at the dew drop. Before I forget they have ear plugs at the desk in case it's too noisy for you. But don't be despaired, the music ends at 12 on the dot. They don't play around. And I appreciated that. My room wasn't huge. But honestly I'm not in need of a big room. A rack, toilet, shower are all I need. But man, the color palette for the whole hotel is so tasteful and nice. They have two bottles of water in the room for you, in case you're tempted to pay while You're at check-in. Bed was soft and comfy. Linen was soft and comfort. Pillows were great. This is a great little hotel. Its a solid 20 minute walk to the hospital. But a nice walk, to the hospital. I will be back! Promise.

I ended up at the Dew Drop because it was the location for the start of the 2nd line. The 2nd line was cancelled but I'm so happy I discovered this gem. It's a museum and lounge. The staff was lovely. "Ro your favorite bartender" was great. They were playing bounce music. It was just a good time. They were very welcoming and clean. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in uptown. I didn't try the food so I can't comment but it's a vibe.

This place is a gem! Recently reopened under new management, the building is a civil rights era icon and features a mini museum. There are great shows most nights of the week. At the bar, all the bar bites I've tried have been yummy, but these fries were the most perfectly cooked ones I've ever had. Tender and moist inside, crunchy and seasoned on the outside. I stopped eating to take a photo so I could review how delicious they are!

Popped in on a Tuesday and it was comedy night. The place is spacious on the inside! Happy hour didn't end until 8pm! I ordered two drinks + wings and fries. The food came out and fresh! Our waitress was nice and took good care of us. I didn't particularly care for the comedy. I'm not a fan of consistent sexual content. If that's the only way a comedian or host knows how to be funny, go back to the drawing board. I do want to visit their pool one day!

Wow!!! What a beautiful venue for live music and it's a historic hotel. The history in the building is simply amazing and totally enjoyed the live local music vibe. The bar cocktails and food are delicious - simply NOLA. I love that they put a spotlight on local talent and creatives.

Dealing with this hotel is an absolute nightmare, which is unfortunate because the concept is so cool and the staff are wonderful. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND though. The nightmare started when our room for the Super bowl was canceled because they claimed we didn't pay up front. They emailed in October saying it had to be paid and after confirming with hotels.com that I did, in fact, already pay up front, I then called the hotel and the receptionist said he would "make a note." He apparently did not make the note because we were canceled and only found out a day before our trip. So, during the busiest and most expensive event of the year, we did not have a room.After some freaking out, the hotel manager did get us a room, but said they could not honor our original price of $458.08 per night since the current rate is $799. We went from paying $789.69 for two nights to $1857.88! Not sure how any of this is fair considering I snagged this hotel booking in June 2024 in order to avoid super bowl price gouging. As if that wasn't bad enough, they promised we were getting an upgraded suite that normally "sells for $2599 a night" but when we get there we don't actually have the suite, we have the "add on" to the suite that is actually smaller than our original room by 26 sq ft and in a worse location directly next to the suite that has open windows to the venue. The first night we were there, someone tried to get into our room at 2am, but luckily we had our side locked.The fun is not over yet- I talked to enough people at hotels.com until I got to someone that approved comping the price difference of the room so I was going to let everything go- including the fact that the ice machine didn't work, the conditioner pump didn't work, the safe wouldn't open, housekeeping didn't come the first day, it was hotter than he'll in the room with NO THERMOSTAT, and the room has barely any lighting- but we go to check out today and I ask for a printed bill so I had a physical copy after all the mess. This hotel is so incompetent I should have looked at the bill because apparently I paid for someone's Expedia room for NEXT WEEK! She asked me the last four on my card and I said no, and without checking the name on the card to the reservation, she just changed the number. There clearly has not been enough training to staff and the facility does not know how third party booking works. I highly recommend avoiding this motel! It's not cool enough to deal with this level of inaptitude.
