Great live bands every night, when band is in down time their DJ is great too! Just like previous posts watch out for the 2 for 1 beers if you only want one be VERY clear when you order or you will get two automatically. Most bartenders have a little snappy to them after a few bars you become numb.... More

The bands at this place are always great. Any night of the week. It is better to go midweek if you want to sit. More

Every time I go to Famous Door there is an excellent live band playing. This past trip was no exception. I knew the words to almost every song they played! People are usually dancing during the daytime, and always at night! The bad points: 1. There are no towels in the restrooms. 2. The lady bartender was snappy and not... More

Went back to this bar 3 times while we were in NOLA. Loved the band, yes drinks are pricey, but if you get there early they have 2 for 1 specials...shots are relatively cheap and there is no cover to hear and awesome band. A must see in NOLA! More

We sampled all of the bars/clubs along bourbon street and throughout the rest of the french quarter. This place was horrible! The band was not very good while we were in there. they were playing the normal stuff, I think one song was guns and roses and then AC/DC. We heard the same music two bars down right before we...

I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year for 4 nights, and seemed to end up spending most of my nights in this place. Mainly because of the awesome houseband at the Famous Door, ROCKBOX ! The crowd loved these guys, who can play just about anything you can think to request, and talk about stamina, they just... More
