The 19 Best Bars in New Orleans 2024

"Almost every place on Frenchmen hosts live music each night and it’s easy enough to just bar hop up and down the street until you find one that matches your vibe. Most likely, though, that’s going to be the Blue Nile. On any given night, you can hear funk, blues, jazz, or brass, depending on what time you stop by. It can get pretty packed inside since they tend to host the bigger brass bands, but they also have a large balcony on the second floor. You'll still be able to drink and hear the music up there, but won't have to deal with being stuck in the crowd." - team infatuation, zella palmer
