- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018Party with music legends at this famous venue for live music. Come early to snap a few pics of the artsy interior. Don't want to stand for the show? Balcony seats are first come with comfy seats.

Ellen DeGeneresMarch 12, 2012I heard my friend Barbara Menendez's band play here. They're called "The Help" and they are amazing.
DobDecember 8, 2013It is really an amazing place. All is music... And of real quality... And the food which these bright people recommend is worth tasting. A must to be visited...
Erik RowleyFebruary 3, 2015Never got to see a concert here but the food was very good. Will have to come back so I can compare it to the Chicago one.
Amy ClarkeNovember 27, 2023Best jambalaya, shrimp pasta, and bread pudding. Love music was good too!
Grisell MDecember 30, 2018“Super silent disco”: you wear headphones to listen either DJ’s depending on the color you select. Weird 🤪
Christopher PiazzaSeptember 24, 2014Very different from HOB Orlando but in a good way. There's a great atmosphere and the venue always has something going on!
Yasmin SanchezMay 9, 2016Great atmosphere! I visited on 5/8/16, and had the best host and waitress. Food and dessert were both great. Interesting decor.
NatalieSeptember 29, 2015Try the bread pudding, you can thank me later. Super generous portion and covered in caramel.
Carrie CrawfordJanuary 28, 2017This was a stop for my husband and I on our move out to New Mexico. Wish we could've stayed longer. The bartender was so nice. We only got drinks tho.
Jessica LakeMarch 31, 2017Awesome venue. Attended a wedding there and the staff were attentive, professional, and efficient.
Iris ThompsonJuly 14, 2017Love the live music. But the Shrimp and Grits was disappointing. The grits were shaped into a patty and fried. A little hard. Not creamy at all.
Amaury TouchyourTrililiJune 25, 2018Gumbo as appetizer, smokehouse platter as entrees with mac&cheese, a must have
Erick GreeneApril 5, 2012Parking in Canal Place parking garage is the best deal when visiting House of Blues NOLA. Ask your server or hostess about validating your ticket for cheaper parking!
VH1July 21, 2010Perfect happy hour spot every day from 3-6pm. Live music on the patio plus cheap eats and drinks! It’s a great way to kick off the weekend. – Team Live Nation- Amaury TouchyourTrililiJune 25, 2018Gumbo as appetizer, smokehouse platter as entrees with add mac&cheese, a must have

One of the best concert venues! I can't count how many shows I've been to here!
SaraJanuary 25, 2011Awesome service, we went here twice because of Josh! The entire restaurant is awesome...will return if we are ever in NOLA again!- Melanie TurnerDecember 5, 2014The only reason to visit here, in my humble opinion, is if there is a performance you want to see.
Krewe of RocckusFebruary 21, 2011Better Than Ezra's Krewe of Rocckus is counting down to Mardi Gras! The band is proud to include HOB as one of many official destinations on the agenda. Get in on the action @
Evan ForceMay 27, 2012Abby is an excellent manager. She has great report with guests and works hard to help her staff.
- AT&TMarch 30, 2012Come by the AT&T Fan Zone at Bracket Town at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on Mon, April 2, for a chance to get an autograph from basketball legends Jay Williams, David Robinson, & John Havlicek!
- VH1July 21, 2010One really cool thing about this location is that sections of the building’s structure dates back to 1890, where it was used as a trading post, warehouse, and shoe factory. – Team Live Nation
Andrea MenziesDecember 4, 2018Beware their random searches. A fun place for shows, but they hate their customers.
Love this place! Caroline the cocktail waitress is the best!!
Tuesday on the patio is open mic comedy. Thursday on the patio is closed mic comedy. Something for everyone, good and terrible. Mostly terrible.
Chano ZunigaOctober 31, 2015Would not recommend. No order at door to get in. I was here first but other people just pushed free way in. Paid to get in, then they tried to get $50 more to sit. What a jipp!- Andrea MenziesDecember 4, 2018What used to be a good music venue has turned to garbage over the years. They hate their customers now here.
Shelley HillDecember 18, 2013I really can't but I'd love to be able to go here someday. I bet everything is unbelievable and fantastic. So I recommend 100% you could never go wrong with the blues and food and drinks. Wow!!
haunted by the spirit of Dan Akroyd. He is not yet dead, just doing research for Ghostbusters 3.
