The place is pretty. There is both inside and outside spacing. Really clean and authentic new orleans.I'm sorry I didn't take more photos cause u just gotta see it!I visited on a Friday night for reverse happy hour. My crew was the only group there however there was a huge ball that night. So I could see why the crowd was light.I'd revisit for the fill Friday experience.

I’ve been here twice. The first time it was a slow night and very chill. I enjoyed the vibes, and that was what made me want to return. The second time however….my visit was not pleasant. I went on Halloween, and it was busy (as expected). There were only two bartenders working, and I waited at least 30-40 minutes for ONE drink. That wasn’t the part that ticked me off though…..It was the two owners and/or managers (not sure which) who went behind the bar to make themselves several drinks while it was busy and his employees were in the weeds. They didn’t help AT ALL. When I finally did get my drink, I went outside and saw the same members of management sitting on the lil vip couch chillin.

I made a point to visit this place and was extremely disappointed. Very poor customer service and did not feel welcome at all. In retrospect, I should not even have tipped the bartender. The patrons were more welcoming then the staff and the security guard was pleasant upon entry.

This is a nice space to find good reads, drinks, and music! It is still in developmental stages but great things are on the horizon. An Air B and B is connected to the coffee shop with a nice open courtyard. We visited on a Saturday night and it was not overly crowded. Quiet spot that is still close to the French Quarters but is not too busy to enjoy.

Lovely combination bar & bookstore. We heard an acoustic guitar performance for free.

Beautiful book store with a bar and courtyard off of St Claude Ave. Had a great variety of books written by POC/Women. Definitely a cute space to host events, especially in their courtyard

Really enjoyed the very cute & intimate art venue/bar with speak easy type of vibe. This place has the cutest ambiance. I enjoyed the environment with the time it set with the music and the books and pictures. There is an outside patio/courtyard that is very large. Plenty of off street side parking in a chill and up and coming parking lot.

Such a cool spot that you can easily miss, if you don't know what you're looking for! A fabulous selection of books, tons of comfortable seating, a lovely semi-hidden outdoor patio with several tables. The music was awesome, old school hip hop on my visit, I loved it! The bartender was super friendly and made an excellent French 75. They have a great happy hour every day, not just weekdays, too. No food, but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. If I'm ever in the area I'm definitely popping back in here. A hidden gem for sure!

Came here for the first time for a Yelp event. I so loved it !!!!. I ordered a French Martini first. It was good. For my next drink, I wanted to try something a tad bit different. The bartender made a deliciously vibrant colored hibiscus margarita. It was chef's kiss. It's just the type of drink I like, a sneaky and slow hit. I stumbled on trivia night. It was a blast. Nola Art has a cool and laid-back vibe. It's definitely a nice place to unwind after a long day.
Everyone at NOAB went above and beyond to make sure our hosted happy hour was a hit! Such a neat space with an awesome vibe!

Excellent service from the bartender tonight, great crowd for trivia, love the plush furniture inside, and the patio outside. One of my favorite places.

NOLA Art Bar is the sister business to bookstore and coffee shop Baldwin & Co. (both Black owned) and it is the cutest, speakeasy style bar. The music is great, the food is delicious, and the drinks are not only creative, but well made, too! The bartenders here are great and super knowledgeable. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for and they made me something perfectly suited to my tastes after a few questions. I'm also particularly fond of The Green Light from their regular menu. On certain nights they serve food (can't remember which ones), but if you happen to be there on a night where Chef Indigo is serving, do yourself a favor and give something a try. Doesn't really matter what, it'll be delicious. He made chickpea tacos taste fantastic. When you walk in the mood is set from the lighting to the R&B jams rolling in the background. It's a perfect place to come with a date or with your friends to unwind after work.The space also has books available for sale which I think is pretty rad. Great way to start a conversation while having a drink or two. The bar shares the spacious courtyard area with the coffeeshop, but they aren't typically open at the same time so finding a spot to hangout isn't a problem. Parking can be a little challenging, but nothing too crazy that would make me turn around and go home. They also host trivia nights and live music/acts, so that could be a fun time to check them out when I'm sure it's more lively.

Go and catch a vibe at this black owned bar. Issa vibe in here surrounded by many black owned books. It’s super cute inside with a few tables and chairs. The bartenders and servers are super friendly. Thursdays they offer trivia from 7pm - 9pm, they have a beautiful courtyard. Buy a book and grab a drink here. They have a happy hour from 5pm - 7pm Tues. through Sat. The offer a variety of drinks for happy hours. You can get a delicious margarita for $7.50.
