Elegant place to chill and listen to music. Great atmosphere. Music was not too loud and you could hear all the instrumentalists clear. Would definitely go back. The chandelier outside is awesome!

Years ago when I was on business the Jazz music and its a class act of a place :)

Can to New Orleans for a weekend getaway and try its famous food and enjoy the music. Wanted to avoid the craziness of the bars and found this low key lounge featuring great jazz music. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Staff was hospitable and our waitress Jamie was very nice. Only slight negative is there wasnt a dress code and a lot of the patrons wore very casual clothes. Id definitely check this place out again if Im in town.

Purchased a NYE ticket for $180. It was advertised as dinner and jazz show. My seat was directly behind a huge pillar that obstructed over half the stage of my view. I brought attention to it to the person organized who claimed more seating would become available once dinner was moved and the show started. That never happened. Also dinner was more hours devours than a meal. The samples were empty a majority of the meal time. Entirely disappointed in the quality of the evening for the cost.The only reason that this is not a 1 star review is because the wait staff was incredibly friendly, and the music (Sierra green and the sound machine) was good (but way too slow for a NYE party)Picture below shows the beam.. missing 3 of the performers (piano/keyboard being the part I was most excited about but couldnt see).

This is an excellent jazz show. The band is top notch. The ambiance is really cool and comfortable. You dont have the craziness of the crowd on Bourbon Street. It is the place to be to enjoy yourself, have good bite, get a great drink and listen to the fantastic music!!!

Great cocktails, incredible jazz (saw the nayo jones experience), and good food. A very classy place to see some truly top-notch jazz musicians. We reserved our seats for $20 each just to assure we got front row seats, but there’s not a bad seat in the place if you just walk in for free. Must get a drink per set but you’ll probably end up getting more than that anyway. This is the place to be. xx

Very nice, swanky club. Table service was good, singer and band was top notch. Definitely returning. No cover.

The Jazz Playhouse is a must when in Mew Orleans! We enjoyed jazz by the Brass-a-Holics. Everything was spectacular from the decor, ambiance, food, drinks to the music! I will definitely return to The Jazz Playhouse on my next visit to NOLA!

Great atmosphere. You would never know it is on Bourbon Street. The true Jazz club experience. Delicious and unique drinks inspired by Jazz legends like the Eartha Kitt. Yummy! The food is delicious also!

Fantastic place for a large party! I worked with Lauren who was a wonderful person to coordinate with. Food in the jazz area is delicious and they have lots of options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. They offer a variety of custom cakes as well from their own pastry chef! The jazz band was super fun and talented. Highly recommend!

Used to be much better. Classy place you could just walk in and enjoy an intimate table. Now they want you to have reservations and much of the seating is set up in lines of chairs so they can maximize the new minimum drink per set. There are better options now.

With all the jazz options in NOLA its hard to pick a spot to choose from but if youre up for a classy night of good music in a upscale atmosphere this is the spot. Its such a pleasure to go somewhere where the music is good and the people are nice and friendly and you know youre somewhere with class. All in all its a good choice for a nice experience

I came with some distant family members last weekend. The jazz singer/band was excellent and then the dancer started taking her clothes off. Perhaps some sort of signage or verbal warning from the hostess at the door would be helpful. It wasnt the kind of entertainment we were looking for.

Great place to enjoy some jazz-music and cocktails. You need to arrive early to be able to find a place to sit. The jazz playhouse is located on the famous Bourbon Street in the French quarter. And although it is located on Bourbon Street it is easy to pass by without noticing it.The bar is very neat and offers all kinds of drinks and food to enjoy during the show.The jazz playhouse is one of my favourite places in New Orleans and definitely a hidden gem.

Great place that’s different from the normal bourbon street bar. We passed by and didn’t see it at first since the entrance is inside a hotel. There was a tiny bit of a wait getting a table on a Saturday in the middle of a performance, but our server came over right away. Great service, for sure. Two tables around us ordered the chocolate cake, and it looked amazing! The entertainment was really great as well!!

Truly a relaxful place right off of Bourbon. The drinks were very well done. Not weak at all! The entertainment was out of this world and interactive with the audience. For a Sunday night, it was happening. We just had some apps and they were nothing to write home about, but are still good.

The Jazz playhouse was very nice, good service, food and atmosphere. Unfortunately the band playing was very disappointing. Spent more time talking then playing and the regular asking of tips is something I would expect from some other venues not a place like the jazz playhouse. They didnt play more than 3 songs before taking a break! But then also talked in between the songs. Gave 4 stars since we really enjoyed the venue though.

Great service to go along with the atmosphere! We came to see Big Sam and his crew, WOW they really know how to get the crowd into the Jazz!!!

Fun place to visit. I would recommend arriving early if you want a good seat. People do come and go so seats open throughout the night. Dropped a star because the drink prices avg $15. The signtlines can vary because there is a giant pillar in the middle of the room... Other than that...pass the peas!

The music was great and good atmosphere. Nayo Jones experience was amazing, she had an incredible voice.

I loved the jazz playhouse. It was sooo much fun. They have a drink called a Stevie Wonder. It is amazing!!!

Best adult jazz club on bourbon street

Nice place on the upscale side. Great music on friday evenings!

What a wonderful time this was. The Nayo Jones Experience was the featured performance, and they were extremely enjoyable to listen to. Nayo has a perfect voice for jazz and makes sure each of the gentlemen playing the instruments gets featured. The service was great and the artisan cheese board tasty. I highly recommend spending some here while in New Orleans.

Saw the Brass-a-holics for free and it was a great show! People mostly sat but we were able to make a dance party in the front!

Great musicians come here to play. Love it.We had James Rivers,, this man has got so much talent its unbelievable. Saxophone, flute, harmonica, Scottish pipes.... And he sings!!Loved our experience. Thank you.

Big Sams Funky Nation on Wednesdays. Just GO and get up and dance. Talk to the band too, and youll learn some stuff about jazz in NOLA.

Comfy seats, good cocktails, great music! And the chocolate cake is

Cant say enough good things. Had drinks and their quinoa burger whole enjoying Nays singing. She is so worth hearing. And their bread pudding hits just the right notes but is light and not overly sweet. Highly recommend this in the Royal Sonesta Hotel.

Top notch jazz club with accommodating staff, great drinks and no cover charge. Only the best perform here. Small plates are available. I havent tried them but they look tasty. Cheese boards and charcuterie boards also available.

Great venue for burlesque shows. Drinks were a little expensive. Fun little place though with shared table seating and festive lighting. Service was good too.

Great jazz music, no cover charge, fair prices for food and drinks. Right on Bourbon Street, conveniently located inside the Royal Sonesta Hotel, this is a hidden gem. Dont miss this hot spot for great local talent like Gerald French and the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band.

Amazing music, and great drinks! The band was entertaining and funny, in addition to being fantastic musicians. This was one of the best jazz clubs we visited on our trip!

Great seats and sound. Good popcorn too. Thoroughly enjoyed the latest Star wars movie.

Great music and great place.

Just great ... and superb performance of James River Movement last night

Excellent place to chill and listen to some jazz music for free. The drinks are reasonably priced. It is inside a hotel.

Great ambiance, food and drinks.... exceptional performance by Gerald and the Tuxedo Band

A very elegant atmosphere, but not pretentious! Service was very gracious, but definitely not quick... I almost took off a star for slow service, but its best not to be in a hurry if youre taking in a show anyway. the performance was great, and we had a great seat. The hostess was very friendly and helpful! :)

Nice place. Low key. Great date night. Band was great with variety.

A fantastic jazz bar and lounge in the Royal Sonesta hotel right on Bourbon Street. Great jazz band the night we were there, great cocktails, and great wait staff. Every seat is a good one.

Great music and atmosphere. I love the intimate setting and the wait staff is very attentive.

The workers are nice and friendly. Always have a good jazz band. Servers and bartenders always on time with your order.The hotel is so nice and clean and classy.

Perfect date night spot away from the hustle and bustle of the strip

They have live music playing. And its an outside restaurant. Very nice. They have cooling areas and its shaded. The food is great and its priced very well. They serve food extremely fast. They also have some great beignets. I really loved this place!

Nice jazz, tasty food and drinks. Definitely a good place to enjoy music without thetypical loud bar scene

Great music and atmosphere. Delightful evening.

Good music and good service. Food tasted pretty good. Definitely go for the music and drinks

This place is the bomb, I had loads of enjoyment during my 1st trip to NOLA.

Great if you love slow swingy/posh jazz.

Great live music. Great atmosphere. Great cocktails. Will definitely be back

Great place! Good music, great atmosphere. Its pity I had so few time there. PS! They close very early:(

Great atmosphere, pricy but yummy drinks, recommend taking in one of the shows.

Great music and great ambience. The jazz musicians who play here are well reputed

I love it!!!Upscale Jazz eatery with excellent music, and lots of great drinks.It’s bourbon street for the distinctive

Such a great band the night I went. The entire staff was lovely, the band was welcoming and interactive.A perfect date spot and a music for a chill night on Bourbon street! It’s a jazz oasis in the chaos. Totaling coming again!

This place has higher standards than most live venues in New Orleans , talented musicians play here .

The band sang Happy birthday to me!! It was great! I danced all night!!

Great live jazz and excellent cocktails.

Come 30 mins before 7 for an amazing seat and great jazz set and vibe.

Had a wonderful time here! Their staff worked with my large group to get us seated across a few tables just in time for the fantastic burlesque show! Cannot recommend them enough

Amazing atmosphere and great music. A must in NOLA..

I had a great time at the playhouse. The band was awesome

Oh my goodness- this was the best Sunday evening performance I have seen in years- a fantastic trio and the singer Germaine- oh my oh my- a performer exemplare. This jazz club should be full to bursting every Sunday if not every night- the food was fabulous too, and the staff extremely coeurteous- I cannot recommend this enough!

I walked through the door and felt as if Id stepped back in time! The Music was amazing and the atmosphere was out of this world. I had a lemon martini and it was absolutely delicious!

Wow, what a disappointment! Was in NOLA four years ago and heard a fantastic music set that was ACTUALLY jazz music, wonderful staff & ambience.... came here tonight with high expectations. Found the ambiance just ruined ...the staff could not be bothered to close the drapes so you felt like it was a club rather then a hotel lobby. The music in between sets was not jazz, in fact, it was like they were trying to be a dance club ...when the band returned, still to doors open to lobby ...lights up high ...they did the POOREST version of Sunny Side of the Street that I have ever heard, then launched into some kind of rap version of music (put your hands in the air baloney?? ) ...this is no longer the Etta James listening, beautiful experience, the service was terrible, the staff told us when we asked to move because our view was obstructed & poor that we needed to just wait so they could rudely ignore us and do nothing... unreal ...really sad ...save your money ...go to Frenchman street!

Tonight entertainment was the Brass-a-holics, what a talented group of musicians whos arrangements at times were a-la-carte, however, very impressive! Stardom is their next step, catch them while you can.

Fantastic bands and shows...service was great...not crowded...good table lay out...

If you want to get away from the noise of Bourbon Street and hear some nice jazz in a great venue - give this place a try. No cover but you will have to buy a drink or two.... but well worth it. Located in the Royal Sonesta just inside the Bourbon Street entrance.

A great live music venue on Bourbon street that is hidden from the sophomoric revelry.

This place was fantastic!! the jazz was so so good, and our waitress (Lexie I think) was a real sweetheart. When I make it back to New Orleans, this will be a place for my girlfriend and I to stop by!

If you are looking for nice music and warm atmosphere, come here.Better than street “jazz” loud “music”, which is really hardly say that it’s music in general.So this place is really nice, hidden gem ️

We had a blast. Great entertainment, food, & drinks.

Good spot for an interesting drink and small gig

What an experience! Came here for my birthday weekend to see the Nayo Jones Experience and it was exactly that. The performances were great. I felt so sophisticated being in this type of environment. Will definitely check out more performances at the Jazz Playhouse!

Ive always envisioned what a visit to a jazz club would be like. This place checked off all the boxes! Fantastic visit and experience.

Great atmosphere. Great jazz!!

Good service. Yummy keylime pie and outstanding music (Tuxedo Jazz band).

I came to new Orleans for my birthday in November and me and my boyfriend checked out the names rivers movement band at the jazz playhouses. It was great. The service was good, clean and vibrant atmosphere and good cocktails

Went here for dinner, drinks, and jazz. The place is very cozy, the staff was amazingly nice, and the music was great. The food was also really good.

Great place to step off the chaos of Bourbon Street and enjoy live jazz music in classy surroundings. No cover, but there is a 1 drink minimum and reservations are strongly recommended for the later shows.

Good performance. Enjoyed music and drinks here.

Its okay. Im a Frenchmans Street girl so this was a bit laid back for me. The drinks were okay, but the food was bland.

Great drink menu. Right off Bourbon Street, a nice place to relax and listen to Jazz. Very upscale.

Wow. Fun place. Great drinks. Great service.

Good times with the brassaholics, drinks and the bbq pork nachos were delicious!

Went here twice while in New Orleans. Attentive table service, a good cocktail menu and live music... perfect!

Great entertainment and tasty food especially the bread pudding.

Love the Jimmy Rivers Movement.

Listen to the James Rivers Movement , what a wonderful time we had. Great band, great atmosphere and good friends.

We really enjoyed the show put on by the Gerald French Jazz Quartet! Their comical twist on some classic songs was fantastic. The bar service was great though the drinks were a bit pricey.

Crazy good Brass A Holics

My wife and I had an awesome time. Action & music the entire time.

James Rivers rocks at age 82, playing the sax and the bagpipes. Dont miss this amazing artist who plays here regularly.

The band Brass-O-Holics were fantastic and a lot of fun! Great atmosphere to the club, good desserts and drinks

Cool. retro jazzy atmosphere and great music. Drinks were so so.

A great place for jazz music

Good music good drinks

Great high class club some what of a retro vibe stiff drinks and excellent live entertainment. They have a limited menu depending on time of day. Beautiful courtyard and separated a little from the typical New Orleans night life while still centrally located. Very comfortable and clean place to relax and ha e a great time with friends.

Great Jazz Club, was one of the highlights of my birthday trip to New Orleans! Will for sure come back when I return to the city and would recommend this club to others!
