Wonderful music . Really great feel to the place. Maybe it’s the wood; the photos, the bar placement. There are no books , but it feels like a place you could comfortably disappear in.

Tuesdays Open Ears music series is hosted in Blue Nile's upstairs space. The free weekly show features avant-garde, often improvised, sets from musicians . All donations go to the Artists . Read more

Thursday night is awesome here. Two floors with a balcony , great place to party and watch the crowd from.

Popular live music on Frenchmen Street. If you're willing to pay a cover (usually $10-$15), visit here as you'll see the most famous bands and acts in the city . They also have a free upstairs level.

Fun place to hear live music . Pay the cover for the main room, try to go on Friday night when Kermit Ruffins is performing .

Great music and in a blue and somber atmosphere. A big stage, plenty of space dance and an important stop in any New Orleans tour of Frenchmen Street.

What a great spot for live music . Tickets sell out early so cop em online! The inside isn't as crowded though so there's at least room to dance .

If you think Bourbon Street is too "touristy " and the quality of music not good enough, then head to the Blue Nile in Frenchmen st: you won't be disappointed. Cab is the best way to reach it
