Discover Details:
House of Blues
I suggest checking the schedule online before you go. Certain nights have bigger acts, and you don't want to miss out on a great show if you can help it!
Think about buying your tickets in advance. I waited until the day of and ended up paying a bit more than I wanted for the show.
The Spotted Cat Music Club
I recommend checking the schedule for the band lineup ahead of time. Some nights have popular acts, and it makes a big difference in your experience.
Don't miss out on the local food trucks outside! They usually have delicious options, and they’re a great budget-friendly way to grab a bite.
I think snagging a drink at the bar before the show is a good idea. The lines can get long, and you'll want to enjoy the music as soon as it starts
Beach on Bourbon
If you're heading to Beach on Bourbon definitely stop by during Happy Hour which is usually from 5-7 PM. The drink specials are solid and you can avoid the crowd and get good service too!
my advice is to wear comfy shoes. i thought i’d be fine in stylish heels but ended up regretting it after a few hours of dancing. flats or sneakers will save you!
Preservation Hall
I think you should try to catch an early show if you can. We went to the late show and it was super crowded—more intimate vibes earlier in the evening!
My advice is to check out the merch before the show starts. They have some cool stuff, and it's nice to have something to remember the experience by without breaking the bank.
Tipitina's
Don't miss the funky memorabilia on the walls. Take a few minutes to soak it all in. It's like a mini museum and sets the mood for the night!
If you're thinking about drinks, stick to beer or wine to save some cash; cocktails can be pricey. I ended up spending a lot more than I planned!
Roscoe's Tavern
I suggest checking their social media for any special events or themed nights. I stumbled upon a drag show, and it totally made my night!
My advice is to order the 'Drink of the Day'. They have some pretty killer mixologists, and it's a great way to try something new without breaking the bank.
Razzoo Bar & Patio
If you love live music, try to catch a show on weekends. The local bands are usually fantastic, but arrive early to snag a good spot near the stage!
Masquerade
If you're looking to save a bit, consider getting a few shots with friends instead of a big drink; it's more fun and helps to budget better!
Drink specials are usually really good, but my advice is to check the bar menu first because some cocktails can be a bit pricey.
I suggest keeping an eye on the DJ lineup if you're into specific music genres; some nights have much better vibes than others.
