House of Blues Restaurant & Bar

Attended a private event at HOB, everyone and everything was outstanding. The food was excellent, especially the fish! The Hurricane cocktail was great and the band rocked it all night! Definitely put on the ToDo list to visit in NOLA!

Neat little place. Indoor and outdoor bars. Great blues band played outside. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had a great time!

Olivia and the team at HOB New Orleans were fantastic partners for our Annual Conference opening reception. Throughout the planning process, Olivia was prompt and thorough in her replies and made things feel very easy. On site, the team worked hard to make sure our attendees felt welcome (including hand mopping up the entrance during a rain storm!) and it really showed. Her recommended band, Wolf Johns was extremely well received and made the night even more special. Many thanks for a great event!

Live music was great. Bar food was delicious. Atmosphere was amazing- beautiful, interesting, plush. Staff were friendly and helpful in general.

We were overcharged significantly- our waiter never gave us an itemized check. We almost missed it when paying with a credit card -& was a struggle to then find our waiter, who disappeared. Finally after some time the bar gave us a copy and it was then obvious - our card was charged for $60 more than our bill’s total… before ‘tip’, the whole thing seemed very sketchy.

I’m sure it was a one off - I had a restaurant for 30 years, and unfortunately, rarely, people do steal.

Otherwise- do go -it’s a great place.

We had an awesome time with Abby. She's an awesome bartender. The best we’ve ever had.

Service was very good and friendly . Cajun blackened salmon-way too much salt in the Cajun spice. Cajun pasta, needs more cheese and peppers. Drinks were good. Out of brownie dessert. Disappointed with the entertainment.

BRENT was the best!!! He was so nice and helped us have so much fun at the Photo Booth!! Thanks Brent!!

Great atmosphere. I was here for a special function. Staff were awesome. Great bar.

Not a good venue if you actually want to listen to great music.
Some friends and I bought tickets to see Eric Johnson, one of the greatest guitar players of the last few decades. He opened his show playing acoustic guitar accompanied by his bass player on an upright bass. This was all amplified through the house sound system, they weren’t just up there playing unplugged… but it was tough to hear what the heck they were doing because all the people in the bar areas in the back, sides, and balcony were so rowdy and loud with talking and yelling that was unrelated to the music. This wasn’t cheering for the musicians on stage, it was people completely ignoring that there was a concert going on, and being a raucous bar patrons.

I feel like the HOB needs to make up its mind whether it’s going to be an actual concert venue or just another loud bar in the French Quarter. There are tons of bars to choose from if folks just want to drink too much and yell-talk at each other, but HOB staff allowing it to happen there just makes for a disappointing experience for people who are there to watch and HEAR a great artist perform. I even peeped the members of the band looking up now and then toward areas where things were getting especially loud. It has to be frustrating and disappointing for them, too. This was a rock and blues show, so I would never expect silence like going to an opera or something, but this wasn’t just a local band playing background cover tunes at the bar, people paid for tickets and drove from miles away to see these performers and had the experience knocked down several notches because it seems like the HOB staff don’t want to risk people not spending as much money on booze.

I’m glad I got to see Eric Johnson play live, but it may not be worth it to pay ticket prices for anyone else I’d actually like to be able to hear at the HOB. I’d recommend seeing artists you like at a different venue.

Lemon garlic chicken tenders were great, as was Abby behind the bar

Great outdoor bar!

It was the 2000’s party 🎉 The location, changed & so did my seating. otherwise, music was nonstop along with the dancing.

Love the Vibe, love the food! Service was super friendly. Definitely a must stop!

Absolutely AMAZING!! Venue was truly unique and the vibe was outstanding. The HoB New Orleans staff provide service that is second to none. 7 out of 5 😁

Great place and good ambient
