How do you spend an evening out in New Orleans? The options are endless! FESTIVE RESTAURANTS Celebrating a special occasion? New Orleans’ most festive restaurants are some of our most famous. A table at Broussard’s or Justine in the French Quarter would please any crowd. At Meril in the Warehouse District, they’ll celebrate your birthday with a sparkling candle and cotton candy. Brigtsen’s has Cajun cuisine in an intimate setting, and Ralph’s on the Park is tucked just across from City Park. There’s no shortage of elegant dining in New Orleans. COCKTAIL BARS Feel fancy at Sazerac Bar or Carousel Lounge in the French Quarter. Wine lovers can flock to Pluck Wine Bar or Tell Me Bar for a sophisticated evening out. Polo Club and Davenport Lounge both feature regular live music. Baroness on Baronne is great for original handcrafted cocktails. MUSIC CLUBS Frenchmen Street comes alive at night when clubs like d.b.a., Snug Harbor, and The Maison open their doors. Catch traditional jazz at Preservation Hall, or maybe a burlesque show at House of Blues. Toulouse Theatre is another great spot for live music. Kermit’s Tremé Mother-in-Law Lounge always has great music as well as good eats. DIVE BARS New Orleans also has the very best in dive bars. The Domino, Siberia, and Mag’s 940 are a few in the Marigny to add to your list. Sneak Uptown to Snake and Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge or QiQi for a night you won’t forget. Or hit up French Quarter spots The Black Penny or Chart Room – both are open late. LATE-NIGHT FOOD Offering a late-night happy hour seven days a week, Seaworthy pairs celebrated cocktails with sustainable seafood specialties in a cozy 1832 Creole cottage. Palm & Pine also offers a late-night happy hour until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, while Dat Dog on Frenchmen is open until 3 a.m. those same two nights. Outside the French Quarter, Melba’s Poboys has two locations open 24 hours a day. LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE? Visit neworleans.com/things-to-do/nightlife or scan the QR code for more late fun.
