Fillmore New Orleans

I visited the lively venue, known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, to experience a performance by the incredibly talented Leon Thomas. The space was adorned with colorful artwork and had a warm, welcoming vibe that set the perfect backdrop for his unique musical style. As the lights dimmed and the crowd buzzed with anticipation, I could feel the excitement in the air, ready to be swept away by Leon's captivating energy and soulful melodies.

Saw The Dead South with opener Parker Millsap. Great venue, great show. I've seen many shows at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium and was happy to see so many familiar touches. From the open floor to the chandeliers to the free posters and red apples. Venue is well laid-out. Excellent bathrooms, merch location, friendly and helpful staff.

My mom and I went to the Fillmore for a Vietnamese concert. The staffing was super nice to us. There was so much spacing inside the venue itself. Bathrooms were very clean. One thing I really liked was that the bathroom speakers are connected to the audio of the stage, so you’re basically not missing anything while you’re in there. Without street parking, parking can be a bit expensive, but I’m not surprised since it’s in downtown NOLA. Overall, I enjoyed my time here at the Fillmore. I would come back again if there are any of my favorite artists performing here.

Excellent venue. Really nice upscale venue and was a pleasant experience overall. Staff were friendly and helpful. The audio can be hit or miss at some places but was really good here. Drink prices made Tiger Stadium look cheap but drinks and the food were also great. We came to see Ice Nine Kills and I will be back for more events.

In comparison to the Fillmore in Silver Springs, Maryland...New Orleans is better! The VIP included access to a private lounge with a stage and a huge viewing screen, of course, a private bar. The seating is even better with VIP on the left and right sides of the stage. In addition, they have stadium seats for GA viewers in the back. I do prefer the lower seating view in comparison to the upper balcony VIP at other venues! I'd choose VIP here again!

Feel of a small, intimate venue with enough room for a large crowd. Beautiful building & decor & amazing acoustics!

Pretty nice venue. I liked the VIP area but the food is overpriced. Eat before you go. So many good restaurants in the area! The bathrooms are huge! They also handed out apples after both times I saw shows here which is much appreciated.

We had a great room and the pho at the noddle bar was on point. Just wish the dealers were a little more giving .

Located in the casino, I had the pleasure of attending the 311, Badfinger, and Sitting on Saturn concert back in mid-March. Very impressed with the interior which has mood-fitting lighting and a chandelier leading to the entrance upstairs. The floor is spacious with bars on both sides plus a separate bar/lounge room if the concert area becomes too much. The bartenders are friendly and the security is respectful while other staff members ensure the place is clean. The cleaniness is an attribute I greatly appreciate, especially given my old age where I actually prefer areas with minimal debris and trash laying around. Of course, the show was effing dope! 311 always plays a great show and I was impressed by Sitting on Saturn. The sound quality is excellent with no interruptions or technical issues and you'll get an excellent view from the floor (recommend having tickets there). I'll be sure to attend future shows here!

I was here for the "Boney James" concert. The Fillmore is a great example of a music venue. "The House of Blues" should take a note or two. The only weird thing was having to fully remove our belts during the security check but it was only a minor setback. I didn't purchase any food but it smelled wonderful.

What an amazing time at The Fillmore. One word. WOW!!!! I'm in town for the NACM Conference and our conference engagement was held at The Fillmore. I was unsure as to what the location was, however, after I googled it, I instantly became excited for the experience. Walking up to The Fillmore puts you in the mindset of a movie theater as the first thing you see are the stairs heading up to the indoor entrance. Once you hit the top of the stairs, you are met with a beautiful chandelier and dim lighting. The entrance is an open space which allows for ample options of creative design and has a bar to get the party started. LoL! As I walked around the wall to the main area my eyes grew big. The space is hugeeeeeeee. The design puts you in the mindset of a concert venue, yet, it was nice to see how it was converted to meet the needs of our event. There were some Hi-Top Tables placed on the main floor towards the middle, with some sitting tables around the outer area. Each side was lined with mini-buffet tables as we were able to make our rounds and enjoy what each table had to offer. The permanent seating areas fit perfectly as well as they allowed those who wanted to engage but not have to be on the main floor a space to enjoy the night. There is a bar in each side and they are hugeeeeeeeeeeee. This was perfect as we had close to 400 people throughout the night. As the space is designed with sounds in mind, I was happy to hear the clarity of the music as the "Mixed Nuts" band was on stage performing. As they presented stellar vocals and true musicians playing music, the fact that the sound system was crystal clear made their delivery even more enjoyable. The staff of The Fillmore was amazing. From the bartenders, to the servers, to the clean up team. Everyone was very pleasant, delivered a blend of southern charm and warming smiles, and most importantly; they ensured the night was enjoyable. It was truly an amazing experience at The Fillmore. I am so happy to have been afforded the opportunity to experience The Fillmore during my time in New Orleans.

Went here last night for a concert of a local artist. This is a massive space with great lighting and sound equipment. There are several bars so you'll never have to wait in long lines to get a drink. Although we had just finished eating I was very tempted to order those wings that were smelling so good!! The restrooms are spacious (but a few stalls were out of tissue). Overall this is a really nice venue for a concert.

Staff unprofessional. Ripoff drink prices. Unprofessional staff . Tourist trap. Stay away !

Excellent venue. This was my 3rd time seeing a show here, but my first time at a VIP table. The service was awesome. The food was fantastic. The decor is beautiful.

Went to a concert to see Inglewood SiR & Isaiah Falls. Great performances by both artists. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back next time we visit again & there are artists we want to see. The drinks were good, the service was great, we didn't try the food. The bathrooms were clean & had plentiful tissue. Overall great venue!

I went for Lucky Daye and it was such a nice vibe. The drinks were amazing and the staff were all friendly.

Doin' the Cockroach (yeah) Original 4 band-mates Rutting Through Garbage #Nola_Haiku #ModestMouse #theCockroach #LiveMusic #TheFillmore #LonesomeCrowdedWest #Haiku @ModestMouse @thefillmorenola

Such a neat and intimate place to see a concert. Saw Adam Ant and had a great time. Restrooms are kept clean. There is also a great selection at the concession stand.

I love this venue/concert hall/event space! I knew this place was always situated within the casino but I had no clue just how spacious and welcoming The Fillmore was. There are two points of entry for the show which for those of us who have been 21+ for quite some time will come in handy for one of their larger shows. Go through the casino and enter through The Masquerade Bar. It is so much easier to get in through that route and more seamless I feel like. You can expect plenty of amenities including a full bar, a coat check room, snacks and actual bites, plenty of lounge seating to hang out in before the show, and super nice bathrooms. No need to worry about restrooms from your worst nightmares. The Fillmore is an intimate venue space where you feel like you're connecting with your fave artist. Truly one of my fave concert spaces in town!

Ambiance and service was amazing. Had a great time, can't wait to see another show there soon!

The Fillmore is my new favorite venue to catch a show! After seeing two concerts in three days, I had the unique opportunity for a first impressions, then a deeper dive. Who knew, that after 11+ years of vacant space located in Harrah's 22,000 square foot "attic" that it would be the hottest spot in town? Opened in February in partnership with House of Blues & LiveNation, The Fillmore pays homage to its original location in San Francisco with the this Nola venue. The flow is great. The space was designed to deal with large crowds and despite my second show being sold out, never once did the crowd bottleneck. Entry is a wide, long hallway that splits into two lines for security. Tickets and QR code's are scanned after. The hallway snakes into a main lobby with a three sided bar, merchandise area, lounge, ticket booth, coat check, snack stand and sitting area. Nods to New Orleans culture and music, including directional signage that mimics our street tiles and brass instruments are focal points throughout. A vast stairwell pouring out to Canal street makes for expedient exit after the show. Another wide hall directs crowds to bathrooms and entry to the concert hall. Bathrooms are designed to be fully automated, including entry/exit only doorways to create crowd flow and avoid surfaces that could be touched by unwashed hands. In the concert hall itself, the rear provides auditorium seating, flanked by raised VIP seating with table service. On either side of the stage between the entrances and VIP areas are vast bars highly staffed to keep lines short. The stage is raised and visibility is good. There are some obstructed views the closer you stand to the VIP areas but overall line of sight is uninterrupted. Sound quality is excellent without discomfort. I've been to plenty of shows where I've left and couldn't hear anything but the ringing in my ears. This venue gets everything right. 5 out of 5.

This is a great venue to see a concert. We had VIP seating, and it was excellent. We had our own server and the food was actually very good, especially for a event venue highly recommended. The sound is pretty good for a place this size and it looks like all the seats are pretty good.

Giant place, we were here for the soft opening. DJs, bars, food, live bands, huge dance floor, concert halls for big name bands. And a smaller nightclub style room for more intimate bands and romantic couples. Creative menu is in a backlit menu holder so you can read them in the dark. Service was fast and friendly, the hosts and wait staff are having fun but working fast. We ordered half the menu to share between 8 people and we liked everything we tried.

Great event venue. Beautiful and the branding they were able to do for the event we were at was super cool. The decor was elegant and fun. Lots of space for dancing and great bartenders.

Never trust a venue owned and/or operated by Live Nation. Ever. Over priced and nobody cares

Great live music venue! Friendly helpful workers, multiple bars so the lines aren't long, and the food's pretty good!

I will never go back to this venue. My husband and I were standing two rows from the rail. A man to my left kept pushing me and was being rude so I asked my husband to stand on that side of me. I am 5'2 and my husband is 6'4. As soon as he moved to the other side of me, a staff member yelled at him to stop moving. We were confused but figured they thought he was trying to move closer to the stage and continued to have a nice time. I asked my husband about 10 minutes later to grab a drink at the bar for me and they kicked him out of the venue as he was walking to the bar. He did absolutely nothing wrong and they never even told him why they kicked him out. Will never go back.

Amazing venue and staff! I have visited The Fillmore for quite a few occasions and loved the decorations for my most recent visit. Attached to Harrah's, this venue is quite large and is very aesthetically pleasing inside. There is a bar outside of the main room, with 2 bars on either side within the main room. The side viewing areas are great, especially during music shows. The room is huge and airy, and doesn't feel like you're on top of other guests in a tight area. The bathrooms are also very nice. The venue itself is still pretty new and getting in the hang of shows and special event bookings! Also, the entrance from Canal Street has an elevator plus a massive daunting staircase. You can also enter from Harrah's directly, but I think it's only during certain times. Not positive. Good selection of local beers and liquors as well. Go Fillmore!

Went to the Sunday Drag Brunch and had a blast! The bar opens a half hour before seating so you can grab a drink and mingle with the performers before show time. Seating is tables of 10, so if you have a group you can all sit together. If not, you'll make new friends like I did. The buffet was good with several stations, so you don't have to wait in a long line. There were eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits, fried catfish, fried chicken, waffles, salad, grilled asparagus, and various pastries. You get a complementary mimosa with your ticket and you can also purchase bottomless mimosas too. If you want to be fancy order a French 75. Each drag show has a theme, so you can dress up if you want to. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just go for a good time! The performers make it fun by getting the audience involved.

Only downside (I'm not sure if this was at the bands request or if it's just something the Fillmore does) but anyway they basically take your phone away. Yup it's true. They make you put your phone in a padded pouch that is sealed shut with on of those magnetic locks that's keeps clothes from being stolen...see pic for details. Anyway so they called it a "Phone Free Night" which is okay I guess but dang, I wanted to take pictures! So they do have designated areas where you can go to have the bag unlocked but other than that...no phone. Bottom line, You should go. It really is a great venue...nice bathrooms, good bars, great sound, huge stage, good standing room area for the really concert goers...yeah this is a good one.

We went for the Drag Diva Brunch (which was very enjoyable). With that said, most of my review is focused on the venue. The tickets stated Doors 10:30am but there wasn't an actual start time. We arrived shortly ahead of 10:30 and were directed upstairs to the waiting area. There are A LOT of stairs, so be prepared! An elevator is provided if needed. They let us in the actual space at 11am. I feel like the vagueness in the time is a money-making tactic so guests will buy drinks at the bar in the waiting area. There's a photo area with the Drag Diva Brunch Logo and the staff will take your picture (pretty cool). There was a good variety of food on the buffet but it all tasted meh! The actual show didn't start until almost 12pm and ended around 2:30ish pm. 4 hours total at the Fillmore was way too long in my opinion. I can only hope that the other events are handled differently.

Went to see Tyler Childers. Show seemed to be oversold. So many people+ not enough staff. Waited in line for an hour(stupid on our part) for an overpriced drink. One bartender for 2 or 3 lines. First time at this venue and will probably be the last.

Attended this venue recently for a Duran Duran concert. From start to finish the staff were all extremely friendly, greeting/welcome, all that good stuff. Bartenders were good, all over it. The place is clean and tight (which I like), very slick inside, still smells new. Bathrooms good. Concessions, good. Everything is going just fine. The sound quality was great, as per usual with "The Fillmore" brand. The reason we are at a 3 star rating vs. 4 or 5 is the footprint and (non-stadium style / reserved seating arrangements). I am a purveyor, and connoisseur of music venues. I have been to millions of them. I have seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts inside and out. The reserved, or as they call it "stadium style seats" are set quite far back from the GA footprint flo, and there is not much angled up and off the flo. This affects sight-lines. In fact, if you are in the first row, in the rear stadium section you can barely see over the soundboard. For the price for these seats - - poor, poor, poor. The venue does not have a very intimate feel to it for that reason alone. The place is brand new, I am surprised that this wasn't considered during the design phase. There is sufficient height inside to accommodate this... designers dropped the fall on this one fo sho.. Went from 5 stars to 3.

This has become one of my favorite music venues. Huge space, but surprisingly, feels intimate. And on both occasions I've visited, I've been able to get very close to the stage without feeling packed in. Beautiful decor, tons of bars spread across the space so you rarely have to wait for a drink, HUGE bathroom so you never have to wait in line, and the food is outstanding (debris fries and Parmesan-crusted grilled cheese are my favorites).

Amazing venue! I was gobsmacked walking in and exploring this space. Multiple bars, the main one even has a live feed of the band playing so if you need to get out of the crowd or sit for a minute, you won't miss the show. Sound is awesome in the venue, and there was plenty of room. Good food too, now that I think of it. I had the chicken wrap last night. Line moved efficiently and I even walked into a few minutes before doors were even scheduled to open. Security was respectful and efficient. I am an avid concert goer, and this venue blew me away.

Went to the Lizzo show this weekend and it was awesome!! Not only was lizzo awesome ( we know this already)but the bartender was the bomb I got great service even though In was at the inside bar with tons of drunk ppl . Oh and I loooove that we could watch the show on the screens when we did go to the front bar !! Can't wait for my concert there !!!'

Came for the after party for the Chewbacchus parade 2020, and it was pretty amazing. Attached to the Harrah's, you line up outside to check ID and wristbands, have your bag checked and then walk up what amounts to what feels like 50billion11 stairs (actually only about 4 floors) and try to catch your breath. Everything looks wonderful. The restrooms were beautiful and clean. There is some seating in stands. The music was good. Drinks are expensive and not strong. It was a good time, plenty of room to dance.

Madison with VIP sales went above and beyond to help us. She communicated quickly and helped us have a wonder time at the Coheed and Cambria show. Excellent service and communication. Kind and helpful. Wonderful venue with a great staff.

This is a pretty cool venue, lots of cool decor and pretty clean. Came here for a rave and it didn't disappoint. It's pretty small so you don't really get a bad view at all

Happy Birthday Larry !!! My Husband and I came to Larry Morrows All Black Party . Of course it was very nice . Lots of people was there to celebrate. The Venue was absolutely Beautiful !!!

I really like this venue. I've been here twice. There's standing room in the front and seats in the back. One show was way more packed than the other. It still felt nice and cool (temperature wise) which is important when you're surrounded by hot, sweaty bodies packed together. There's more than one bar and few seating areas. It just feels roomy and has a good vibe. I hope to have more good times here!

If your know me, Shinedown is one of my favorite band and in my bucket list to catch. There is no better place to catch it then the Filmore. I've been to many music venue and always feel that most are jam pack with bodies and it gets a little way too suffocated with people smoking and body heats. The Filmore had the AC full blast but not to the point of being cold. The lighting and sound was amazing. The beautiful chandelier was a good touch to the decor. When you take the escalator up to the venue inside the Masquerade, you will have to stand in line before you can pass security to enter the music venue. I love it that we didn't have to stand outdoor like most music venue to get inside. There is a few bars inside once you enter. You can purchase your drinks and also bites to much on while waiting for the concert to start. I had a fantastic concert experience to catch my all time favorite band. Regarding to one less star in my rating was because once the concert is over, you have two exit to take, Canal or casino. We took the casino exit and there was a long wait of people wanting to head to the casino but there were only one usher checking our driver license to re-enter the casino. My problem with this is that when we were heading to stand in line, they check our driver license and gave us a wristband to indicate we were old enough to drink and not to mention we had to show our ID previously to even enter Harrah's casino. It was just ridiculous and unnecessary. There were so many unhappy concert goer who were ID even when they look way too old to be carded.

I went to see my first show at The Fillmore and all I have to say is, awesome! I love this venue. The staff is by far the best I have seen yet. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. You could look at them and tell they love their job and what they do. We met a manger named JoJo and he was the best and kindest person. We were going to see Collective Soul and we had VIP meet and greets. JoJo explained everything to us. Showed us we had VIP restrooms and bars. He wasn't snobby one bit. The venue is small and intimate. Amazing sound and comfort. I will say the bathrooms are fabulous and more venues need to follow their lead. Thank you to all the staff at this wonderful venue for making this experience top notch!!

They took 80$ from me after i gave them cash for a prepaid card. will never come back.

LOVED everything about it. Great vibe, solid cocktails, fabulous acoustics and the building is simply beautiful. I'd go for any reason at all!

Though the main entrance outside resembles that of The Joy Theatre, the inside is completely unexpected in the best way. Darkly lit and modern, this new music venue is an amazing addition to New Orleans music culture. The walls are decorated with murals and paintings that are uniquely New Orleans. Chandeliers in the main space, a large GA standing space and stadium seating both in back and on the sides make this a top notch venue space. Two well stocked bars flank each side of the space as well and the drinks are reasonably priced for a venue of its caliber. I've attended two concerts here--Rick Ross and X Ambassadors and loved each one. The vibe is amazing and can't wait to get to another event there.

I was really looking forward to this new venue but it was so disappointing. The two stars are for the food and aesthetics. The biggest problem is that the stage is too low!!! If they could raise it, this venue would be one of the best in New Orleans. I went to a concert here and was so frustrated that I COULD BARELY SEE THE ENTIRE TIME!! I couldn't even enjoy the show and it felt like a waste of money. Many friends have had the same experience at this venue. Something must be done! Their lineup of who they are getting to perform is great and I want to see so many of them, but the thought of paying money and not even being able to see makes me dread buying new tickets for this place.

My wife and I love The Fillmore, so much so that we've driven in from Dallas, TX (8 hours) to see several shows instead of seeing the same acts at home. This is a great venue! Incredible acoustics and sound quality, coupled with terrific sightlines...even when standing at the very back of General Admission. Quick and easy to get a drink/cocktail. Genuinely friendly and helpful staff. And what better place to party before and after the show than in New Orleans!

I was actually really impressed with the Fillmore as a venue in New Orleans. We had to ask directions when we walked into Harrah's because we had no idea where it was, but if you walk to the back and go up the escalator its on the second floor. As we were walking in the decor is all very fun and lively and all the security people were very friendly. You enter into 1 bar, and from there we didn't know where the stage was and actually walked towards an exit before realizing it was in the other direction. It seems like we weren't the only ones because I watched other people do this too. Maybe they need to increase the signage. They had 5 bars within the venue, and they were all very nicely done. The sound quality within the venue during the show was also good. There was some seating at the back and on both sides where you could have a server. They also had a few mini bars on wheels that they came through with during the show so you could get a refill without missing anything. It was definitely an enjoyable experience and wouldn't hesitate to see another show here.

Cool new venue to see live music in New Orleans I was torn on my rating. If I could, I would give it 3.5 stars. The reason is below laid out in the pluses and minuses. Pluses great sound quality, clean, didn't get stuffy and hot, they have great lineup of shows in the future. The negatives, no soul, felt like I was in a random big city, not New Orleans, the drinks were rather limited and pricey. I really enjoyed my first concert there, (Garbage) and will be back to see X Ambassadors soon.

Bar service is the best, never a line. The bartenders are equally amazing, Diana Rachel Steph & Amanda made it that much better! Love this venue

This is the worst venue I have ever been to in New Orleans. Beautiful place with a lot of money put into it, but staff is absolutely horrible. I watched them politely go up to White ppl & ask them to put their weed out. One black man was smoking & I kid you not a crowd of 8 security surrounded him. I was simply dancing in the middle of them when they put their hands on me & kicked me & my boyfriend out before the main act was even on. I'm still not even sure to this moment why they thought it was necessary to physically put their hands on me & kick me out. I was not smoking or causing harm to anybody. Terrible venue. Do not travel out of state here for a show. Do not make the mistake of spending your well earned money here because these people have no respect for that. They are ran on stereotyping and do not know how to professionally handle situations !

This was my first time at a Fillmore and it totally lived up to the hype! This location is inside Harrahs Casino but there is an outside entrance as well. Inside the casino, go to the Masquerade Club in the center of the casino floor and the Fillmore is upstairs. The setup could be more organized downstairs - there is a line but VIPs can use a different line but there's no signage to indicate that. Then you're just lining up downstairs to line up upstairs. Once you're down with all that jazz, you enter a very open, spacious foyer. There's a BB's Lounge for VIP and a bar, merch, concessions, ticket area. This is a great place to stay if you're not interested in the opening band - they play the music through the speaker and there's also a TV to see what's going on. To the person that designed the women's bathroom - THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for having tons of stalls and sinks, best bathroom ever. There are 2 bars inside the concert hall. They also serve hot food like nachos and burgers. Bartenders were fast and friendly. The acoustics were as promised, amazing sound in every corner of the venue. It holds 2200, 95% of that is general admission and there is pricier reserved seating on the sides and behind the sound board. It was hard to see since I'm short and don't want to go up front, but it's such an intimate setting, you will eventually be able to see parts of the show. This is a fantastic venue and I wish we lived closer to one of them. I would gladly see any show here again!

The venue its self is amazing. the food staff on the other hand was terrible. I ordered a grilled cheese and what came back was a club sandwich with bacon and turkey. i tell the staff that the order was wrong and she replied that "that is how they make their grilled cheese here" the item on the menu says there is no meat on the grilled cheese. they took it back to make me another one but it came back out the same and the staff was uninterested in making me the right item at that point i just threw the food away. for such a nice venue i was very disappointed in the kitchen staff

The venue is beautiful and the staff was very nice. Drink prices were a bit high- but for the venue type and location it is to be expected. I'm rating 3 stars for one reason: the plastic folding chairs. For $150 a ticket I expect an actual chair and not to be so closely packed in.

Great venue, especially considering it's location and proximity. You can enter from the front entrance, or through the masquerade in Harrahs Casino via an escalator (must be 21+ to enter through casino). We sat in row JJ, Seats 16 & 17 and had a GREAT view of The Avett Brothers.
