The Broadside

This place is really cool! It is a event & live music venue. It is big enough for bands to play and bring ALL of their best fans. The drinks are pricey but so are drinks everywhere else! The acoustics were spot on. Plenty of seating;Tables and chairs, bar stools, ECT. They have food. It is very nice!

Beautiful, amazing sound system, comfy chairs, huge dance area, 2 bars, Japanese Korean fusion bar food that was amazing!?!?! Everyone was so nice and funny. Great vibes. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often. A perfect place!

Caught Community, Bursting, and Thou for an evening inside show. The venue staff was friendly, the space had some tables and seating, was well cooled, and most importantly, the sound for each band was incredible. Can't wait to go back here!

The Broadside is a live performance venue with stages both indoor and out. The 2 bars are always serving up excellent drinks. The restaurant and locally featured food vendors can't be beat! A beautiful, urban style courtyard, provides an intimate feeling for parties both corporate and private. This venue provides free and ticketed entertaiment.. check out their socials and website for further info. @broadsidenola or broadsidenola.com

Quirky, fun, family-oriented, large open area, lots of parking spaces, and an ideal venue for watching live music. We attended the inaugural Louisiana Shrimp Festival, which was a lot of fun. There were plenty of vendors selling shrimp snacks, along with 4 live bands. It was a real pleasure meeting Mark, who is one of the staff there. Great experience, and we will definitely be back on our next visit.

The place is gorgeous. The food at the Izakaya is surprisingly good. The atmosphere is perfect.... But the sound at the indoor stage is TRASH. Saw an amazing artist last night. Couldn't make out a single thing she was saying or singing. The music, performed by literal world-class musicians, sounded BAD because of the unintelligible acoustics. That room desperately needs extensive acoustic treatment if they want to call themselves a music venue.

I attended for Chazfest, and boy was I glad I went! The vibe was so good, the venue was beautiful, spacious, a large outdoor stage (and a cozy cool indoor venue) with lots of various spots to grab a drink, easy to use restrooms, and an open bar tab throughout the venue’s different bar/concession spots – overall, a super cool experience, and I would definitely go back here!

Big outdoor stage, smaller one inside. Really cool atmosphere too - lots of different areas to hang out, inside or out. The staff are friendly and the drinks aren't too expensive. The restaurant inside the bar is amazing - it's some sort of Japanese Fusion. Usually crawfish and food trucks around as well. We always have a really fun time here.

Loved it! A nice venue that has only gotten better and better over the years. What started as a creative answer to the pandemic, is now a friendly, comfortable place for music and movies.

Really nice outdoor venue BUT there's a bbq smoker thing for the food RIGHT next to the stage and frankly, the whole venue reeks of bbq smoke... if you're not vegan maybe its not an issue, but wow so smokey Not my fave! Maybe move the smoker and food away from the stage? I tried the food and it wasn't very good to begin with.

Nice outdoor venue. Very spacious with standing room mainly but there are some seated areas around the perimeter. You can bring your own chairs as well.

Pandemic Review: This outdoor theater opened in October in response to the pandemic and movie theater restrictions. It's located next door (across the side street) from the Broad. And it's a wonderful (and safer) addition to the neighborhood. The theater has a wide variety of entertainment from sports to movies to live music to a theatrical review. I took my Mom to see the le Petite production of NOLA Noel on December 23rd. And the weather was great... not too chilly for my Mom and a very clear night. The chairs were well spaced and since we had to purchase tickets in advance, the seating was arranged by ticket groups. The seating were adirondack styles some low, some high. We brought a couple of blankets just in case and Mom was happy to have those. There are portolets for bathrooms. And there is a trailer serving snacks and cocktails (a hot apple cider for Mom and hot buttered rum for me). Plus there was a food truck in the parking lot before the show started. The show was really fun and the theater company made great use of the space and some popup tents for costume changes. All staff were wearing masks and patrons were expected to wear them too unless eating and drinking. We were spaced well and it was outdoors so Mom could enjoy some theater!

I went to the Broadside Theater for a daytime show - a "Funeral for 2021". This is a fenced-in outdoor space, gravel for ground cover, with Adirondack chairs and picnic tables for seating (well spaced out for COVID). There is a large raised stage and movie screen. Masks are enforced for patrons and staff. They have a small trailer with refreshments and some port-a-potties for bathrooms. And as an added bonus, a HUGE parking lot! I enjoyed my production and this space and will definitely be back.

Creatively appointed outdoor space allows for safe movie watching during a pandemic. The hot buttered rum kept us warm during the film, which had excellent sound quality for the location. The seating arrangements allowed for distancing within a group atmosphere. Bring a blanket and friend and do something out of the house...together!

What a great idea, fine location, well planned layout, and delightful staff. Why there are no more Broadsides all over town defies my understanding! I don't see this as temporary at all - I expect it will be around for a long time, and well deserved! Well done folks!

LOVE this venue for live music in Nola, such a great outdoor addition for the city that's not your typical sticky floor venue. Tip: bring your festival chairs if you fancy a place to sit!

Surprise location in the middle of a up and coming revitalized neighborhood in New Orleans. Live music, great atmosphere and festival-like feel. All food is food truck. Drinks sold from a bar. It a cool spot to hang out. Alone or with a group. Get someone to walk you to your car though. It ain't all rosy in the Big Easy!
