This eclectic Bywater dive bar buzzes with live music, vibrant dance parties, and a welcoming spirit — a true gem for lovers of fun and good tunes.
"Before St. Claude Avenue became a happening entertainment scene, Saturn Bar was a thing. This quintessential Bywater dive always looks closed, but don’t let the ratty exterior scare you off. Inside you’ll find feisty bartenders, signed pictures of the Rolling Stones (they partied here back in the day), piano nights, and DJ-led dance parties." - Eater Staff
"The club’s rebirth is the latest in a slew of recent wins for New Orleans’s live music venues — small but legendary dive Saturn Bar just reopened under new owners after shuttering in November 2020." - Clair Lorell
"Longtime music venue Saturn Bar announced its sale." - Clair Lorell
"Another beloved New Orleans music venue is up for sale as the pause on live music continues, this time the delightfully grungy St. Claude Avenue Saturn Bar. The Broyard family, who has operated the bar and venue for three generations, has a deal pending with a buyer who plans to keep it a bar, luckily. For a full history of its 60 years, see Ian McNulty’s NOLA.com report." - Clair Lorell
