The Broadside

Every single time I come here, I leave happy! The entire venue is so well done. This weekend I attended an event outside while a separate event was happening in the indoor space. Never had an issue, and the night was an absolute blast. Their stage is fantastic, and their sound system is great! The bartender is are SUPER friendly and keep you stocked up with whatever you need. It's definitely one of my favorite venues in the city.

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!

Went to sober fest! It was very nice. There were food and drinks vendors as well as a live band.

Top notch venue and restaurant staffed by absolute pro's at hospitality. Watch their Instagram page for food specials at Nikkei Izakaya and they announce free shows pretty often, almost one a week it seems.

Amazing venue. Fantastic indoor and outdoor music settings. Great bar with amazing food. The employees make it an even better place. Highly recommended.

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.

Love, love, love the Broadside !! Food is so fab at Nikkei Izakaya with many gluten free options! The place has a wonderful vibe and has become a much needed community hub. I came here from the very beginning and am impressed by how far it has come !

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!
