Love love love this bar to dance! It’s some of the best dance music here. It’s a day bar but literally everyone is welcome! The staff is really friendly and welcoming and the drinks are decently priced. The dancing guys are a nice touch. Definitely give this place a try if you are looking for a night full of dancing!

The performance here was short but really good. The host was really funny and clever and he made sure everyone watching the show is engaged.The atmosphere as great! The patio or balcony area was pretty nice too. The alcohol here is pretty good too but maybe a bit pricy (but reasonable).Had a real fun time here!

Fun place to dance but both bars would not give me tap water. Pretty sure this is illegal?Said I could only purchase bottle water and wouldnt even give me a cup to go to bathroom sink.

Tried to get in and the bouncer turned us away and refused to take our IDS, we are all 23+ and he was completely rude to us. We are visiting from Ohio and are a few gay girls so it was a very disappointing experience.

This place was a blast during Mardi Gras. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. It was chill and only $5 to get in. Love that they have security right at the door and that you could come back with your wristband on. Definitely my fav spot on Bourbon that night. The drinks were perfect. There was awesome views from the upstairs balcony. My girl and I enjoyed the men dancing on the bar and it was fun tipping them. We were cracking up that my husband was complimented by a few different men lol. We all had a great time.

This place is a really good spot to have fun with friends, dance and drink. The atmosphere is also nice. The food is ok. Service too.

Boylesque.... yes it is a thing, yes it a must see, yes it is at a gay bar, no you will not get hit on... unless you really want to. Trixie Minx emcees the show every Tuesday night and provides the female liking side of the audience with a very enjoyable show that compliments the male liking entertainment. Ive said it many times, the Boylesque entertainers are pure entertainers, they often put so much more into their performances than just taking off clothes, not that this isnt true for Burlesque, just that with burlesque, it is not uncommon for the performers to think all they have to do is take off their clothes without a real routine.

I had the best time of life last night this place made an old man fell alive again. The entertainment was great the dancers were sexy and went that extra steep to inter act with the everyone that was there.The drags performance was wonderful.

Employees forgot to reserve the table that we had sat at. Instead of politely telling us of their mistake and asking us to leave the table, they were extremely rude and made up a lie that we threw away a “reserved sign.” There was never a reserved sign, we had sat at the table for over an hour and no one said anything to us! Napoleon’s Itch, is across the street from Oz, is much better, and has better drinks!

1st time ever in a gay bar, the people were so friendly. The lady bartender (sorry I didnt get her name but she was great) went out of her way to get us a table for the drag show. Everyone enjoyed it and had a lot of fun! The queens were great, great DJ and great emcee! Gay or straight, they welcome everybody, even the other patrons there were nice! I highly recommend OZ

Great dance music, friendly and attentive bartenders. No cover when I visited which was a plus. Average prices ( bottled beers were $6)At one point in my visit, one of the bartenders began doing management type paperwork and WEIGHING all the liquor bottles on a scale. This suggests very strict controls from management with regards to how much bartenders can pour ( e.g. a focus on making as much money as possible and eliminating comped drinks ).

This place... No. Please ladies. Spare your selves. No lock on RESTROOM. The ceiling was leaking. My friend had to clean the toilet seat for me because I was dying holding it in after trips to the bars and waiting for a response to get no toilet paper but bar napkins. I think there was pee or semen on the seat or maybe even wfrom the leaking ceiling. I got a URINARY TRACT INFECTION! The bartender harassed my girlfriend outside of the restroom asking for cocaine AND THREATENED TO KICK HER OUT! For what? To get coke from her. He buckled down after my friend and I came out of the restroom. Admitting he wanted drugs and acted like he did nothing else but his job.

The best part about this place is the music. The drinks were average.. nothing exceptional. The bartenders were friendly. The bouncers seemed annoyed with their jobs. But overall, it was an enjoyable experience.. however, I don’t think they should charge a cover when nothing is really “happening” inside, even if it’s just $5.

This place has always been a go to dance spot while in New Orleans. However, I will cation patrons to be aware of your charges. Over Halloween weekend beers ranged from $4 -$7 depending on the bartender, which leads me to believe they are pocketing the difference. Change was also ‘miscounted’ twice. I can only imagine the poor souls who don’t even notice this.

On walking in it looked grim and the toilets could certainly do with updating , even a lock on them would help. Drinks were the most expensive we had payed in N O and the entertainment was the most amateurish, we didn’t stay long !

One of the employees grabbed my arm and dragged me very aggressively out of the club for vaping inside. I didn’t see the sign that said it’s prohibited. He could of politely asked not to vape inside. Never been so disrespected at a club before. Luckily they let me stay, I would of left but my friends had already paid the cover, and I didn’t want their money to go to waste. I understand rules are rules but that situation could of been handled a little better and he should of never of been so aggressive

Had a great experience Friday night but tonight was really awful. Rude staff and bartenders. I totally get how awful tourists can be but making me feel awkward and unwelcome for my drink requests isnt cool. I felt like I was inconveniencing the bartender by ordering a round of drinks.And the buckets full of piss water under the urinals to trap leaks is pretty gross. Also, for being a unisex bathroom my non male friends had a horrible time. My female friend got urine on her clothes using the inadequate stall.

I am a lesbian and was excited to FINALLY get to the gay bar on bourbon street, but refused to go in on arrival solely because they had a COVER!!! It was only 5 bucks which I could afford but its bourbon street NOBODY has a cover!! Like thats the point to bar hop freely why pay when there a MILLION bars that are free!! Very upset with the gay family for doing this!

I stopped in during the quiet of a mid-afternoon the last time I was in town. I stayed for a couple of drinks because the bartender was so charming. But I had a dinner engagement so, sadly, I had to leave before the Drag Queen Bingo started. Maybe next time Ill stay and play if theyre still doing that.

Review №34

Awfully quiet compared to decades gone by. But it was only 10pm. My friends and I were wondering if Oz has become predominantly a lesbian bar? It seemed that way on Friday at 2200 hrs.

All my friends ranted and raved about this place as I told them about my upcoming trip to New Orleans, and I see why. Its clearly a hub for whats happening on the Gay scene. When in full operation, there is two floors with three bars. They have nice eye candy dancing on their bars and great music pumping on the dance floor. Many a drinks were purchased here, a nice highlight of my trip.

Some annoying bald bartender forced me to buy a drink as soon as I arrived, when I wanted to wait on my date first.Ended up getting kicked out for saying I was going to buy a drink in a little bit. I ought to press charges, as he picked the Latino to pick on and not the random other white boys without drinks.

Prick ass dancer had my friend kicked out because he wouldnt tip him, so we all threw our drinks out and left. Security said its my friends fault for not tipping. Never going back. Club across the street is better and never has covers or douchebag security.

Review №75

It was a great place, the bartender was fabulous and made my drink exactly how I like it for me everyone seemed friendly! unfortunately one staff member spoiled the experience for us and made our night awful ... why? because I was talking to his partner !!! he had us escorted from the premises and I dropped my wallet and passport in the process. My friend went back to get it and they refused to give it to her and threatened to have her thrown in jail ... another manager came out and handed her my wallet eventually. I traveled from the other side of the world to be here and that particular experience took the shine off New Orleans for us. The good thing is that happened early on in our trip and we were able to see that the rest of the city is filled with beautiful and friendly people. I will be making sure that I tell everyone about my night was on account of it. People of Oz... that sad little staff member needs to know youre running a business not a school playground.

The week nite Oz Bartenders are nothing but rude thiefs. They demanded you buy a drink as soon as you walk thur the door. Bottled water cost $5.00 each. One rude bartender was so aggressive he demanded we purchase something from him or we had to leave. Once we purchased the over priced bottle water we watched and noticed he never demanded that with other people. He seemed to target non white people. When asked why water so expensive,.. He said we were not locals (which we are)and its Bourbon street they could charge more. And smiled ..A very bad experience. Wish I could say something nice!
