new orleans hotelsGREAT NIGHTLIFE NOW OPEN:

It has been said that New Orleans is the best place in the world to hear live music ... and we would certainly agree. New Orleans is home to an incredibly diverse spectrum of music; blues, rockabilly, zydeco, rock, folk, and of course, the city's own contribution to music - jazz! In New Orleans, music has a way of spilling out onto the streets; it rises over rooftops; it maintains the backbeat that defines the city.

Cooter Browns Grill & Oyster Bar 509 S. Carrollton Ave. New Orleans, LA 70118 Phone: 504-866-9104. One of our favorite bars in the US! What else needs to be said ... Gambit Magazine, 1st place - Best Place to Get a Cold Beer, 1st place - Best Sports Bar, 2nd place - Best Place To Shoot Pool, 3rd place - Best Place to Get Oysters on the Half Shell. Throw in about 15 big plasa screens for sports and a great grill and you may never leave!

House Of Blues 225 Decatur Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. Phone: (504) 529-BLUE. One of the best places in the United States to see live music, plus the food is great! An evening must for anyone coming to New Orleans who love music!

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville 1104 Decatur Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116. Phone: 504.592.2565. Message from Jimmy ... "I have always enjoyed food as much as I have music. Both are celebrations in life and go hand in hand. There is nothing more satisfying than good music with good food. That was the idea when I opened up the Margaritaville Cafe in Key West. Nothing stuffy, just kick back, have fun and enjoy great local food and listen to great live bands. So loosen up, open up the menu, order one of everything, savor each selection and get into the Margaritaville state of mind."

Krazy Korner - 640 Bourbon Street (corner of Bourbon Street & St Peter), New Orleans, Louisiana. Phone: 504-524-3157. Let THE KRAZY KORNER swallow you up for a full night of everything you ever hoped the French Quarter might be and so much more. Can one place offer the best Cajun rhythms in town and then turn right around and dig deep into rhythm and blues? Uh - yeah! Krazy Korner can. Did you ever imagine yourself in a Bourbon Street bar playing the washboard at 3 a.m.? We thought so - here's your chance. The Krazy Korner is designed to let you go a little Krazy, dance the night away, enjoy some Krazy cocktails at moderate prices and meet some of the most offbeat characters you're likely to find in the city. There's only one way you can honestly tell your friends you've "been there and got the t-shirt." But what will people say? Hey - what happens at The Krazy Korner stays deep inside.

Old Opera House - 601 Bourbon Street (corner of Bourbon and Toulouse), New Orleans, Louisiana. Phone: 504-522-3265. Ask many first time New Orleans visitors what they'll remember most about the French Quarter and you'll hear a chorus of "The Old Opera House." If you're looking for music like Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco hellraisers, or Jimmy Thibodeaux's Cajun band, this is your place. And you don't have to wait until way after dark to hear it, because it's happening all the time, even during the 3-for-1 happy hour in the late afternoon. Rhythm and blues, jazz, Zydeco, chonk-a-chonk - everybody plays The Old Opera House, where the atmosphere will remind you of your favorite pub -- bare brick walls and all. Even though it's located in the heart of the tourist district, locals flock to The Old Opera House. Some of the biggest names in the music business go their start at this club, and it's not unheard of for some of them to pop in and play a set with the band. You wouldn't want to miss that, would you?

Tipitina's - Uptown and Downtown. Concert Line: (504) 897- 3943. Some of the best lives shows on the planet have happened at one or all of these places before. Tipitina's has earned the reputation as the heart and soul of the New Orleans music community. Acts as diverse as Harry Connick, Jr., the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, The Funky Meters and the Subdudes began their careers at Tipitina's.

Snug Harbor Jazz Club 626 Frenchmen St.- New Orleans, La 70130 - 504-949-0696. One of the premier modern jazz clubs in New Orleans, with an adjoining restaurant. The finest jazz in town is featured seven nights a week with covers ranging between $5-15. Home to Ellis Marsalis most Saturday nights. Club has table seating and there is a cozy, dimly-lit bar next to the restaurant.

Steak Pit - 609 Bourbon Street, 504-525-3406. Okay, time to 'fess up - what did you really come to New Orleans for? Come on - all together now - HUGE ASS BEER! There is only one place in the French Quarter you can get an OFFICIAL HUGE ASS BEER! It's The Steak Pit on Bourbon Street, the only place you can find sweet potato fries or eggplant fries to wash down your H.A.B. And we say buy the t-shirt first at the door - Huge Ass Beers taste so much better when your shirt announces what you're drinking. And stay for dinner, because if you're going to down a H.A.B. you need some Jim Bean barbecued baby back ribs. But before you dive into a full meal, try the jalapeno peppers stuffed with seasoned crab meat. Chances are you'll need some more H.A.B.'s. And if you're planning a beer bash, order your beer, t-shirts and go-cups from Steak Pit. Hey, you've got to have something to prove you did New Orleans right. Huge Ass Beers Rock.
