Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near New Orleans

C S. • April 22, 2019Great theatre with beautiful interior. Order drinks/snacks on the ATG Ordertorium app to avoid waiting in queues during a break.

Raquel • March 10, 2019One of the best museums I’ve ever been to! High tech and innovative. But it’s a LOT. I would suggest booking a tour. Reading for five hours had us skimming. You really need 8+hrs to do this one.

Erin P. • April 14, 2013Casual fun place. Good place to watch music. Worth the can ride from the French quarter.

Eliza T. • July 2, 2024A MUST while you are in NOLA! If you can, try going for Sazerac Day as they go all out with more stands and speakeasies throughout. Very informative and good samples.

Adrock H. • April 30, 2019Outdoor annex added in 2020 for safe, socially distant movie watching under the night sky. Drinks, friendly staff, a true gem if you're in town for more than a few days and tired of walking. 

Cat W. • March 18, 2013A damned good bar with great old style atmosphere and solid jazz. One of the best places I visited in NOLA.

Lily D. • March 20, 2016Tons of history to learn and it's FREE.

Jiyoung C. • December 9, 2011strolling through wnderful decorative arts collections and many more. cafe noma on first floor is wonderful, too. both interior and the food!!

C S. • June 7, 2019Nice theatre with amazing sound. No beers for sale on site, but I see others have mentioned you can BYOB.

Amanda L. • November 8, 2013Really cool venue for Music, intimate and unique. Fun on Halloween

Tom B. • May 7, 2015Great music. $8 too shelf, $7 bottom. Decent service, nice setup. Definitely worth a stop to get the N'awlins feeling.

Nick M. • May 18, 2017This place is absolutely unreal! Try and catch one of their events. We saw Preservation Hall play and it was an amazing experience seeing them do their thing in such a unique setting.

Feed Me Good • May 8, 2013Great sweets @ Bittersweet Confections. Red velvet cake in a cup-yum!

ALESHA B. • February 18, 2017One of the most fantastic gems in New Orleans! This is an art gallery studio, the artist MikeB is extremely talented he will have you thinking on your conscious levels and his art is captivating!!

Priya T. • August 28, 2015Lovely lights overhead. Makes a nice break from the lovely jazz.

Donna R. • December 17, 2015Great drinks, good friends and Tuco Taco on Tuesdays. Very laid back atmosphere in the courtyard. Great music by Johnny Angel and Helldorado.

Dr. N.sezgin ö. • October 26, 2022Waaw, Jazz, marijuana, French influence, spicy dishes and hot sauces all in one. Here you are dizzy and you are heading towards Nirvana.

Christopher M. • April 28, 2024Great intimate spot for real jazz. Good drinks and great staff as well.

Adrian P. • May 17, 2015A huge selection of liquor from bourbons to tequilas. Try to know what you want before you order on busy nights. Usually a cover when there is music (it's always worth it).

Constantin • May 14, 2017We were passing by, heard the band and saw they were serving breakfast. The Benedict by "Chef D" was outstanding. Band was awesome! This was the best breakfast experience in town. Make reservations.

AJ T. • November 12, 2015Great movie and great overview; I thought it was the best part of the whole museum.

Sophie C. • March 26, 2014The trumpet player was out of this world. Worth the wait!!!

Jim C. • February 9, 2014Great Beignets and coffee. Very relaxing spot. Much better than Cafe DuMonde

Stacy T. • March 22, 2017Zele is home to over 100 local artisans. It's the best place in town to find art, jewelry, crafts, accessories, souvenirs, home decor, & much more, all created by NOLAs own. Wide price range!

Nikeishia M. • May 5, 2013The Strawberry Lemonade is awesome!!

Ann-Marie T. • March 7, 2019We got there on Wednesday at 9pm. They have a jam session every week. The band starts at 10 and they are fantastic! Open mic starts and it slowly progressed to hip hop near midnight. Not a fan of that

Rowel L. • August 17, 2013Really worth visiting if you're interested to know where Mardi Gras is made.

Brian F. • February 18, 2015Best Mardi Gras parade bar none. See it in Midcity to understand the excitement and home town love for this superkrewe. Or head to city park and check out the floats before they roll.

Irina Y. • March 30, 2019Love this place!!! Spacious and welcoming. That night we were listening to Smoke & Bones - they are cool! Yummy cocktails based on whiskey.

Laur L. • July 20, 2018Such a cool theater! Although if you are afraid of heights do not get balcony. Very narrow stairs and not much legroom for seating. But it was a fun experience.
