Fritzel's European Jazz Pub

Jazz starting at 1PM everyday. Bands are in 2 hour sets with a break in-between. They check IDs at the door then seat you. There is table service which is nice not having to fight for the bar.All the bar tenders were great and super attentive. the jazz was really great and the group we saw was fun and liked to get the crowd involved. Super fun spot to hang out or just grab a quick drink!

At Fritzel's it's all about the music! Drinks are good and on the strong side, vibe is German with a touch of Creole and service is adequate. And honestly, none of that stuff matters once the music starts.Fritzel's is one of the music beacons in Nawlins, when many other places have switched to rock, hip hop or karaoke (wtf??) Fritzel's is one of the few places where you still find traditional jazz in all its varieties.Thank you Fritzel's!!

My wife and I vacationed in the French Quarter this week and hung out at Fritzel's quite a bit. On Tuesday we spent the evening a bit but didn't get the best seating since we arrived a bit late and underestimated how popular of a spot it is. On Wednesday we got there earlier and got excellent seats. We ended up staying through two sets of one band and three sets of another. We were there from 5 o'clock to midnight and consumed several hundred dollars worth of Sazeracs. Their drinks are made right and are made strong. The blonde lady, Katerina I think her name was, was super friendly and mixed the best, strongest Sazeracs. I was also impressed on how well she handled herself when this jerk of a patron did not want to buy a drink or pay the ten dollar cover. This place has quality bands all day long and a comfortable environment. They also don't jack up their prices or mandate a cover charge. An ask of at least consuming one drink is completely fair. Of course we consumed much, much more and I had also negotiated a tshirt with a male bartender at the end of the night based on how much we spent but we were both a bit sloshed so I completely forgot about the shirt. We did also support the first band on Wednesday by buying a CD and tipping a bit more. These are talented musicians who deserve our support. But going back to Fritzels. True, they are not the only jazz bar. You have Bourbon O's across the street that was also great but it lacked the ambience that Fritzel nails down. In a time where crappy hip hop is taking over the French Quarter it's great to see that there are a handful of lounges that are clinging on to traditional NOLA jazz. We plan on supporting them. So when you are in the French Quarter on bourbon street, pay Fritzels a visit. You will be happy you did. We can't wait to go back. Thank you for the excellent experience.

I definitely had an unforgettable experience here with hubby! I just love that this live jazz bar is in a historic 1831 building, as soon as you walk in you hear the amazing jazz and see people just enjoying the ambiance. We stopped by about 3 times and I can't wait to return here! So if you want a memorable night and just want to enjoy life, then you definitely need to stop by, grab a cold Yeungling & enjoy the back in time vibe!! This is a must while visiting NOLA!!

This establishment is a must visit , for their great customer service even though they get super packed. We were fortunate to get seating right on the side of the band with no one sitting in front of us. The waitress was very attentive and we kept her busy bringing us beers. The music is great and everyone is having a hella good time enjoying life, I know I did. When we go back to New Orleans again I know we will revisit this place again.

We spent many hours a day at Fritzel's. The jazz just could not be beat anywhere on Bourbon. The drinks were wonderful, the ambience was fun and festive, and people were really having a good time. It became our favorite place in the French Quarter.

Fritzel's is a great venue to listen to music. Bourbon can be touristy and young, but Fritzel's has authentic local performers.

Bar hopping at its finest. Enjoyed this spot because of the uniqueness. Very intimate space with lots of seating for being on Bourbon Street. Had both bench, bar and table seating available when we arrived but it was mid day. Picking a place to be on Bourbon Street is like picking a favorite star in the heavens. It really comes down to what you want to listen to. They had live jazz music. The band has CDs for sale. It's been awhile since I've seen that. Drinks were very expensive but being in the French quarter is expensive. One Long Island iced tea and one rum and coke cost $33. Did not include tip. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. Funny, professional, and kind. The tables were wiped down And there was a lot to take in while you sipped on your cocktail. Who didn't eat here. It was more of a stop and have a drink since there's so much to see in the are. I definitely enjoy the band and vibe so I'll be back.

Decent experience there's better places on Bourbon Street drinks prices are high quality nothing to write about tight seating and the doorman and people working inside are not friendly. Other than that it's a European Jazz bar. Enjoy.

Everything about this experience was great. The music was some of the best and the atmosphere was amazing. Got to see 2 groups perform on a Thursday night, so the bar eventually got more crowded around 8-8:30 pm. Drinks were fine, nothing too crazy. I could've sat that for hours and just watched the musicians do what they do best! Such a delight. Definitely recommend this gem.
