"Frenchmen Street is, more or less, the local-music version of Bourbon Street. It also has its share of tourists trundling about with go-cups in hand, but they’re drawn more by the music than the drink. Plan to spend an evening (things start to pick up around 8 p.m., earlier on weekends) along a three-block stretch of small, informal clubs where there’s often no cover (give generously and give often when the bucket comes around), or at most $5 or $10. Notable clubs include the Spotted Cat, the Maison, Blue Nile, D.B.A., the Apple Barrel, and Snug Harbor. Earlier in the evenings, there’s often an impromptu brass band at the corner of Chartres and Frenchmen. Between sets, take a moment to browse the night art markets, the largest of which is next to the Spotted Cat."

Amazing and colorful street art. I suggest to head this street early morning if you wanna take nice pictures before it's crowded. All bars and restaurants fully booked in the evening, we had no chance to experience the food or a show.

Great little jazz spot. ATM inside, inexpensive drinks. No food, but there are some options up the street for a bite. Highly recommended!

We happened to find our way here during a weekday afternoon hearing the band play. As you enter inside, it's relatively limited in space with limited seating and a few tables. But the music is great. Good vibes with a couple dancing it helps to keep you staying longer than you can imagine. Located on Frenchman street. With so many options of venues to wander into to hear some jazz music. This is a neat no frills type of bar.

We decided to visit the Spotted Cat during our mid week visit to NOLA. Located on Frenchman St, which from what we were told, is a more mature and safer nighttime location then the famous Bourbon Street. It's a very small venue and seating was very limited. We were looking for a place to enjoy some local jazz music, good drinks and some local fun. The live music was awesome but we left fairly quickly due to the unfriendly bartender and her watered down cocktails. They didn't serve any type of food or we actually mat have stayed longer and given the bartender another chance to do better. Great music but aside from that, not much else going for it.

I was spending the day with a dear friend of mine that lives in the area and she suggested we go to Frenchman Street to hear some good music. Locals will tell you that Frenchman is the place to go for live music. As you walk along, you'll hear the sounds of jazz, reggae, and blues coming out of the clubs. Our first stop was The Spotted Cat - a no frills club with cheap drinks and great music. There are a few places to sit inside and some tables outside. They don't serve food, but you'll hear some good live jazz. The bartender and the lady at the door were both very sweet. The band was great. They had a good groove, and the singer had an incredible voice. He also entertained us between songs with his witty humor. We came on a Sunday afternoon as there was no cover. I'm not sure if there is a charge at night. *Live music daily *Dog friendly

When you ask people where to go on Frenchmen street, you'll probably have heard about the Spotted Cat Music Club. It's popular for its focus on music! This tiny club is no frills. It's a small room with no food, just great music. What I'm not sure about is the cover fee. Sometimes they charge, other times they don't. We went on a Monday night, but we still had to pay a $5 cover even though the place was virtually empty. We did get the chance to hear a great music group and drinks weren't too pricey. My biggest suggestion is that regardless of where you go, it's about the music you want to hear. Listen by the window and make a decision that way. Almost all of the other places don't charge a cover. We did have a very enjoyable experience here though, especially because it wasn't too busy, so we were able to well spread out.

Anna B.

Yelp
Fun venue to listen to live jazz music. The drinks are a little pricey but worth it, their Moscow Mules are strong and tasty. Not much spots to sit and listen to the music, so otherwise you'll have to stand and enjoy your drink while watching the live band and singer that is currently performing. Recommended jazz club in NOLA.

Yelp
The only reason I'm giving The Spotted Cat Music Club 4 Stars instead of 5 is that my wonderful visit was cut short. My Son had indicated that he wanted to hear some live music while in NOLA, and after some research, I decided on the Spotted Cat. So the 3 of us (with Gayle) took the relatively long walk to Frenchmen Street to check it out. We arrived near the end of the afternoon set. My guess is that this place gets more crowded into the evening, as during our time here, there was plenty of standing room inside and maybe even a seat or 2 if I looked hard enough. With my 1 drink minimum, I enjoyed the music inside and by myself. As it turned out, David felt overwhelmed by being in a not so crowded room and preferred to sit just outside the entrance and listen from there. I did that too at first, but felt that this was cheating by enjoyment and the Spotted Cat. Even my inside enjoyment was cut short as Gayle soon signaled that it was time to go. The Spotted Cat is too good for this type of crap. God I hope there's a next time!

On my list of must dos while in NOLA, the birthplace of jazz, was to go to a jazz club one night. This one was recommended by our server at the Hermes Bar (Antoine's) as well as our tour guide on the Hop on Hop Off Bus and it did not disappoint. Located on Frenchmen Street, this place which has been around since the 90s, is popular with locals and tourists alike. Cover charge is $5 plus tip for the musicians. I think there are three sets. Very cozy, there are a handful of bar tables, barstools and 2 tiers of benches but mostly standing room. The band plays in the front so we couldn't see them from our table in the back. But we were happy to be able to sit down while listening to real live New Orleans jazz which is so much a part of the flavor of this cool and unique city. No servers walking around so you must order at the bar. I had a cranberry mule which was VERY GOOD!!! Next door was a small bazaar of vendors selling art, jewelry, etc... walk along Frenchman Street and you will see some other music clubs. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

The music was "meh." I don't think they have food. Not much seating. So, people looked at my friend and I so much bc they were annoyed they didn't get our table. No cover charge, but 1 drink minimum per person. It's not easy to get to the bar.

I need to try the Spotted Cat next time I am in NOLA because I've heard amazing things about it. We must've visited on an off day at an off time. It was a Tuesday at about 4 pm and there was no music or places to sit. You can tell they get super busy because there are only chairs at the bar, on the inside parameter, and outside. We ended up ordering a drink and taking it to go because of the lack of places to sit and no entertainment. I am super bummed because I wanted to love this place but it must've been just a bad time to go.

Keith R.

Yelp
This review is based sorely on the live music and ambience. It's entirely too crowded, (which I love) with patrons who love and appreciate authentic New Orleans jazz music! Swaying with the music, sweating in the dark, and surrounded by the synergy of others who love the same is intoxicating. The live performances are amazing and can literally transport you back to atime where ragtime, jazz, and blues were all being created. If being amongst the crowd is not your vibe, you can sit outside in front of the place in a little patio and listen too.

Athena B.

Yelp
This jazz club is a MUST!!! It's located directly on Frenchmen Street, so it's very easily accessible. We got lucky and happened to catch a live jazz fest on Frenchman, so we were in the neighborhood already! We thoroughly enjoyed the live, jazz music that played! The band was so much fun and super engaging!! Highly recommend this jazz club! To note, it is on the smaller side with only one story, but when we went, it was not super packed.

Victoria G.

Yelp
Listening to local musicians here was a highlight of the trip. We thought we came early and there was already a crowd, a sign of the popularity. We lucked out that a couple friended us and we got their table when they left. We both enjoyed the Cat nip and pretended we were in Miami instead of freezing weather. There was no food that night and we ate plenty along the way to there. I'm happy we got to hang out and listen before the next band came out. I highly recommend.

Mansta A.

Yelp
If you want to be crammed into a tiny room, shoulder to shoulder, can't see the band or floor in front of you , then this is the place. People go on and on about how great the musicians are. It's okay and overhyped. I heard better music at any other place I walked into on the same street. We came here with a group of 10 and all of us wanted to leave immediately. Bartender was quite nice. But I would NEVER go back. $10 cover for entry and 1 drink minimum per set.

Fred S.

Yelp
Great jazz bar. High praise forTerry Peters and the Parking Meters. Their updated version of New Orleans jazz is the real deal. I'm hard of hearing. Even so, they came through because the equipment and moving the lead around worked. It ain't fancy, just real good. Go.

Sheila R.

Yelp
The Spotted Cat Music Club is so much fun!! It's a small and intimate club with live music starting in the afternoon and going until late. We visited at opening time after having a boozy brunch on a Sunday. We got a few stools and a little table of our own. We enjoyed some local beer and a passion fruit flavored French 75. That French 75 was sooo good! The club filled up quickly. We loved getting to relax and listen to some Jazz. They started with some slower songs and then got the party started about 30 minutes later. People were dancing, and everyone was enjoying themselves. If you are in NOLA, I highly suggest you visit this club!!

This is a very cool and well-known spot in Nola. Buy your tickets in advance and if you want to have a seat, go early! Always a great time, and don't bring your car if you can avoid it parking rough. We go here whenever we visit. It's my son-in-law's favorite spot. I have a cute little market on the side of local artists for unique souvenirs It's very small venue, most people stand. The performers are interactive, usually and amazing! Point there's something about the acoustics that make it very rich. You'll have a great time. You should definitely go!

Alex G.

Yelp
Super fun music club. No frills here but the staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. The band was great. We ordered pizza to be delivered there and the bartenders brought us paper plates and utensils for it without us even asking. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Nola.

Sigrid W.

Yelp
Walking down Frenchmen Street we entered here on a whim and I am so happy we did. Actually I think my friends were aiming for this venue. There are only a handful of seating options and we managed to score seats at the bar for all 3 of us. The band was starting to play and it was fabulous. Quickly the place was packed and we could no longer see the band directly. However, there were mirrors mounted above the stage which allowed us to see at least some of the band playing. We opted for some canned drinks and they were good. The bar itself is really nice and I'm sure you can get any drink you want. The beer and cocktail list is shown on monitors. A great touch free option. The bar tenders are on it, quick and efficient, you will have your drink in no time. Come here for a nice party atmosphere and great bands.

On a recent visit we finally made it down Frenchman street. I cannot tell you how much more I enjoyed the vibes here compared to the chaos of the exhibitionist Bourbon street. As a visitor, I think many of us 30+ year olds dream of coming to New Orleans to enjoy some music in a chill, relaxed environment and the Spotted Cat was the perfect place for this. The drinks were good and music was even better. I haven't had many Pimms cups to compare but I have to say this one was refreshing and came with souvenir to-go cup so it easily became my favorite. We came in during the day on a Saturday so were able to just miss the cover charge but with the experience we had the cover would be worth it anytime of day. Can't wait to go back next trip.

Yelp
This place is legit. If you want to enjoy some live Jazz music a bit further off the beaten Path than a lot of other French Quarter destinations (only a bit though) this is a great spot to do it. The stage is pretty small and up front leading to a pretty intimate feeling show. It will be busy on a weekend and the bar will be packed though so be forewarned. We saw the Shake 'em up Jazz band while we were in town and they put on a really good show so if you are thinking about going and they are playing I'd recommend trying to catch them.

Great for live music. Probably my favorite place we popped into the entire trip. We stayed over three hours it was so much fun.

Incredible New Orleans jazz bar. It's easy to sit or stand and get lost in the music. It's equally easy to get up and groove to the tunes. This is a classic dive bar feel-- smells like beer, funny signs and cool art every where, and bathrooms covered in graffiti and stickers. We really enjoyed hanging out here. $5 cover on a Friday night is well worth it.

Saphace A.

Yelp
A fun, upbeat jazz club that we went to two nights in a row! The live music is the best part! It gets pretty crowded here, but you can often find a spot to stand close to the stage. Flagging down the bartender isn't hard either. Drinks seemed reasonable priced. It was only a $5 cover per person. Not bad at all!

Had a great time at the spotted cat on a Thursday night. Loved Jumbo shrimp. We stayed for most of their set and the band that came on before. My Kuya working the door is fabulous. Apparently, he was also super friendly to my Filipino friend visiting Nola at a totally different time. I had a couple cocktails that were both tasty. Both bartenders were very attentive. Bathroom was relatively clean for a bar. Can always count on the spotted cat for a good time on Frenchman street.

We had a fantastic time at the event. Dominick Grillo & The Frenchmen Street All-Stars were amazing, and the bartenders were friendly. Be prepared for a standing room only venue.

If you are in NOLA, cannot miss this place. No food but drinks as you want. Service like any other dine bar, ambience the top! The music is just amazing. jazz, jazz and more jazz. You can listen some music, get out for a walk and came back ( no additional fee). Don't miss this spot in the center of the French Quarter.

We came here on vacation on a recommendation from our Lyft driver and were not disappointed! We enjoyed the live music and enjoyed a few tasty beers while we were there. We stopped in after a jazz brunch because we were in the mood for a little more live jazz and wanted to hang with the locals! I think they had just opened for the day so we may have been the first ones there but we think we got the best seats in the house to people watch and hear the music! We were there for about 2 hours and saw people come and go. We don't recall that there was any food here but since we had already eaten we weren't looking for it either. It was such a wonderful treat to be introduced to Spotted Cat and we're very thankful we got the recommendation! We will definitely be back again as it's high on our list of repeats in the Big ! Easy! We highly recommend it and suggest checking out their live music calendar!

Get out of the FQ and experience other parts of NOLA. At night a far better option then Bourbon St is Frenchmen Street. And an iconic stop there is this small and popular jazz music venue. Other bars and venues and a night art market right next door. Drinks are reasonable and flowing, the crowd is jumping and the music was great. But don't expect a chair and sitting. But you can also be glad not stepping over vomit and 22 fraternity/sorority kids. A better crowd other then some banker suits that came and .... Another story. The only negative is there is a smell of humidity infused humanity and the restrooms are horrid. But the music a d environment were just what I wanted on my trip.

Courtney M.

Yelp
If you want the best music, best vibes, best service, and best people... you gotta visit the Spotted Cat! This place was recommended to us by numerous locals as THE place to go if you want the ultimate NOLA experience and we were not disappointed! We saw the amazing band "Smokin' on Some Brass" play on a Friday night and it was seriously the best live performance we have ever seen! We did not leave until 2:30am and still wanted more! They were just so talented and the energy in the house was surreal! Everyone was shoulder to shoulder at one point because the place was PACKED but it was so worth it! The bartenders were both super efficient and knew how to work on a busy night. They were fast, attentive, and made sure everyone was taken care of. I appreciated them so much! There was also an art show/art vendors working outside beside the bar for people to stroll through if they wanted some fresh air. If you're visiting NOLA, this place MUST be on your itinerary!!!

Stopped by but there were no seats available. Standing room only. You can hang out at the patio in front of the restaurant and enjoy the music. Got a drink and enjoyed a little but of music, then we continued to bar hop.

The Spotted Cat was recommended to me as a place to check out some live music so we made sure to stop by. It's located on Frenchmen Street just a little north and a short walk over from the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. There was a $5 cover on a Monday night and we got a stamp on our hand for re-entry. It was packed the entire time we were here so if you want to stand in the front or want a front-row seat, I'd recommend getting here early. My first drink was the cat old fashioned ($14.50) which was sweeter because of the aperol. My second drink was the just peachy ($14.50) which was peachy and fizzy but overall just tasted artificially sweet. The cocktails were just okay given the prices, and being handed the drinks in a small plastic cup normally meant for water didn't give me a great first impression either. At a certain point if there are tons of people standing and you're in the back you won't be able to see a thing. If the music is what you're looking for (and why wouldn't you not be), come earlier in the day for smaller crowds.

Kareem A.

Yelp
We had so many folks recommend visiting this spot for live music. We found ourselves here like 3 times in two days. It's really accessible and nice to see such good talent coming through. My only warning, the old fashioned was the strongest I've ever had. Not sure if it's always like that, but I definitely had a blurry evening after one of those. Service was great!

Louie G.

Yelp
Excellent music venue!!! We went here to see the Paradise Jazz Band. They started when the club opened at 2 pm. There was NO COVER, the band was AWESOME, the bar service was excellent, the drink prices were very fair, & the band played for more than 3 hours!!! An EXCELLENT way to spend an afternoon in New Orleans!!!

Highlight of my New Orleans trip! Top notch live jazz music. Friendly servers. No cover! My husband and I each bought a beer and listen to music for 2 hours straight. Such a bargain! The place gets crowded after 8pm. So make sure you come early if you want a seat

Dawn M.

Yelp
Great place to find some local music & local well-known musicians. No cover charge so remember to tip the band. There's a one drink minimum. They have a full bar and a wide selection of local beers. Be prepared to pay a little bit more for the local brew, a Port Orleans Brewery bacchus blonde was $8 per can, as were other cans of beer up to $10, a mixed drink $11, glass of wine $10. Seating is limited, so be prepared to stand.

Vichet O.

Yelp
Phew. Let me make a list and if you know me at all, you'll know why I gave this place 5 stars: - Dive - Live music - Dancing - Cheap-ish drinks for the area - All types of people in attendance Come on now. If my favorite live music bar in Philly (Time) had a dive attached to it (they do, it's their upstairs club open only on weekends), it'd basically be like the Spotted Cat. Modulate your expectations about the space itself: the floors are sticky, the bathrooms could use an overhaul, and the lighting is like your basement office. But the music and the vibes? They get 5 stars just for that. Not to be missed. One of the best spots that I saw in NOLA.

Alyssa A.

Yelp
We were recommended here for a good Jazz club, and it ended up being a great recommendation! Local jazz bands play here and, while the venue is small with minimal seating, it was a great time with great jazz music. They charged a $5/person cover charge to get in, but it was more than worth it. The bar can get quite crowded as is typical, but the bartenders are efficient. They have good local beer and house cocktails. Overall, a great time here and definitely worth a stop for good jazz music.

Natali R.

Yelp
Get there early for a good spot to see the band if not if you're not tall it will just be a good listen to the performing band. Cover charge is $5 but you could come in/out at your leisure all evening with a 1 drink purchase per set.

Veronica Z.

Yelp
Went on a Sunday night where they had a $10 entry fee. The music was sooo good I was so impressed by the band they're very talented. Classic jazz music is a must in New Orleans I would definitely recommend.

Darlene H.

Nice little spot. Only disappointment we have is they have a cover charge, where other spots dont Our husbands were going to do in and they wanted $20 for each one. They told the girls $10 each

Erin H.

Yelp
Stayed just up the street from the Spotted Cat on a trip to New Orleans earlier this month and we stopped in as frequently as we could -- really fun neighborhood spot to get your night started or hang out until last call. The music was always lively and fun, and the bartenders did a great job keeping up with the crowd. The mules were really good and there's a solid selection of beers on tap and in cans. Worth the cover charge and the silly stamp/marks they put on your hand so you can come back in after sitting outside or grabbing a quick bite at Dat Dog or some other spot nearby. In fact, most nights there seemed to be street BBQ and other food options on the street outside the club.

Sarah P.

Yelp
I was originally supposed to snag tickets to a club but forgot to purchase in time and ended up here instead. I am so glad I forgot to get those tickets because this jazz club is AWESOME. The musical performances are top-tier. The whole club is on the same level and enjoys a mutual energy. This club feels like the heartbeat and soul of New Orleans. The drinks were delicious, I was very hooked on the Cat Nips and Just Peachy's. I also love a fruity drink so these were right up my alley. I read online to try and get to a show about 15 minutes before they are expected to start because it can get quite crowded in here and I absolutely agree. I was able to pop into several clubs on this strip and the music coming from here was absolutely the best. Can't recommend this stop enough when making a trip to NOLA. 5/5

Jenny G.

Everyday All Day Please get here early and try to find a seat One of the best spots in NOLA

Natalie J.

Yelp
This place is pretty small and they charged a $5 cover, but the live band was pretty cool. I was hoping for more places to sit, but it seems like they don't want people staying here too long. More of a stop in for a beer and be on your way experience

Sheila G.

Yelp
Small, but super quaint bar with excellent music. The old fashions are really good and it's just a fun spot to be at. It gets quite packed, but if you come before dinner you get to jam with the band and enjoy a great vibe.

John J.

Yelp
This was an outstanding experience. We got to the Spotted Cat at 4 PM on a Thursday afternoon. We caught the end of one group, sat outside, had a couple of beverages, and then went inside for the next group and enjoyed 45 minutes of fun, engaging, and entertaining jazz. This place is a must stop while you are in New Orleans.
