Southport Music Hall

Event date 10.19.24We recently had my son and daughter in laws wedding reception and I can't say enough great things about our experience with the owner (Jay) and the venue. Jay was wonderful he was there before the wedding making sure everything was just right, during the wedding and after. The hall was beautifully decorated and Jay was so easy to work with. Our experience exceeded my and our families expectations. I would defiantly recommend Southport to anyone looking to have a wonderful wedding, private event or just a big party. And will be back for sure..Thank you so much for making our day so special.

LOVE this small music venue that sometimes hosts BIG names!There is not much seating (unless you buy VIP tickets), so most people are standing and it can get pretty packed (this place is not for you if you're claustrophobic), but you're right up next to the stage with prime viewing locations available for affordable ticket prices. I saw Bowling for Soup (remember the song "1985" from the early 2000s?) just a few feet from the band, and it was a phenomenal show for an affordable $35 at the door. Drinks are about $5 and very reasonable too. You're in for a fun night with Southport Music Hall!

My favorite venue to see music and I'm lucky it's right by my house! They always have fun shows and friendly, efficient bartenders. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. If you reserve a VIP table it's the makings for a great night. I like the outdoor deck space for in between sets and normally the shows are very decently priced. Sometimes a well known band will do a local show there and when they do, that's a real treat.

Service waS friendly and speedy. The atmosphere was not the best. We were wishing they served food but they didn't. I'd come back if it was someone I wanted to see, but not my top choice of places to go.

Reading up on the history of this place, the epicenter of the gambling underworld in New Orleans for many years!! Now with a great sound system. Talking to friends they told me they used to play pool here. I came here to see an industrial band called PigFace a few weeks ago. I was told they have a lavish green room for the bands including washer/ drier for doing laundry (???) and a place to hang out before/ after a show. The place has history, even haunted by a legendary ghost that hangs out at the bar and the back lavatories. Being a veteran ghost hunter with Louisiana Spirts, he didn't like me, and scratched me above my left ankle while i was there. Nonetheless, the sound system did not displease, it was great! I work in the sound business and the system in here did not require me to wear earplugs, I didn't walk out of here with my ears ringing. My friends and I showed up and they had pizza for $3 a slice, albeit expensive, kept us from having to walk down the road to another place. Industrial dudes like us dress in all black which would not have boded well for walking the highway. The drinks were mixed well, to compliment the pizza. All in all a great experience. I had a lot of fun and I want to go back. Will be looking for shows there in the future. If you're a conspiracy theorist into Jimmy Hoffa and the JFK assassination, you should check out the history on their website, very interesting. When you go, be sure to see the solid bronze door to the counting room where the mob used to count the money for all their earnings. Very cool place, should be on registry of historic places in New Orleans.

My friends and I went to an event for Jack Daniel and iHeart Radio ...Rise From The Fire... fundraising for local Firefighters. The venue is small but big enough to fit a good amount of people for a intimate live concert vibe. They have a good amount of seats outside for people who needs to get some air or just to smoke outdoor. There are plenty of parking but it kind of tricky to get out once everyone are parked. One less stars for the restroom stall. Only two but they do have additional somewhere else in the back if I'm correct.

I got invited to go hear live music here. Seems like a nice place and crowd. The band was an average cover band doing top 100 hits - not worth the $10 cover charge at all. This place is worth a visit if you can get a drink. I have to say- these are the absolute worst bartenders I have ever seen. I waited for ten minutes for a beer with my money out too. He kept waiting on whoever walked up around me. I don't expect perfection but after ten minutes I finally gave up. Of course they kept my $10 door charge. THE. ABSOLUTELY.WORST . BARTENDERS EVER!!!!I hear they're closing and it doesn't surprise me. This place is languishing from the usual problem bars and restaurants suffer from: mismanagement

Caught the Molly Ringwalds last night. Their stage looked great. The venue at Southport hall still lacking. Service is awful, and slow and the price for a beer changes from $3 to $3.50 to $4. Do they make up prices as they go or subsidize the drinks they give away to their friends who cut in line by charging the paying customers more?Mollys have outgrown this venue...

Considero que estuvo todo muy bien organizado y la seguridad buena me divertí mucho en el concierto elefante muchas gracias

Great venue with access off of River road. Watch out for afternoon traffic during weekday events!!! Right down the street from Ochsner Main Campus!!! Great access with huge ramp accessibility to transport equipment inside. Great for parties and receptions. Good for "small musical" events. Separate bar areas to stage food and drinks away from main event area. (1) large bar in the main event area and (1) small in-house bar attached to outdoor patio area. In-house house food options were amazing!!! Service by in-house staff was first-class. Everyone was greeted with a smile and staff was eager to help. Went to a professional party, where there was fried, catfish, jambalaya, party meatballs, shrimp, Alfredo, crawfish & corn bisque, chicken skewers, Caesar salad bowl, fruit, Etc.... Everything was tasty!!!! Can be accessed from Jefferson Hwy or S. Claiborne Ave.
