Bourbon Bandstand

Super cool place we ended up spending a decent amount of time here. They have outside and inside seating at well as upstairs and balcony seating. For sure would go back to this place if ever back in New Orleans and recommend you stop by yourself if around. Drinks and service also was great and alot of dancing going on.

Had a great time Christmas night the band was rocking and the bar tender ( Shauna aka gypsy ) was very friendly and quick with the drinks.

Bourbon Bandstand is engaged in a common scam in cahoots with vendors of shots who walk up and down the street and in the bars. These young women walk around with boards of some sweet shots and try to peddle them. I said no, was actually drinking water and listening to a good band. Then, a few minutes later, some other girl comes and asks to dance. So I say okay, why not, and we dance a little. The shots vendors shows up and the dancing girl asks if she can get a shot. Dumb me says sure, and the dancing girl proceeds to down a bunch of shots in front of me. Then I get presented with a bill for almost $100. It is late, I don't want to cause a scene, so I give the vendor my card and she goes and runs it with the bar. Then she says she is going to get my receipt and of course never shows up again. Beware of this scam and say no to randoms who ask for shots or to dance with you. I will dispute the charge with my credit card company. I did not order the shots, did not consume any of the product, and did not get a receipt though I asked for it. I am sure the bar is well aware of this scammy practice of extracting money from unsuspecting folks listening to music in their establishment. The music is good, and it attracts people inside your bar. No need for scams, sell honest drinks instead, this is how you destroy your reputation. You made $100 extra that you split with the operators of the scam, but you also bought yourselves this review.

Was told they could make any drink in asked for... Then couldn't make the three drinks I asked for (old fashioned, vuix cararre, and Moscow mule) then I ordered a jack and coke but got jack and Pepsi (not the same) wife Margarita was meh. Music was really good and the bartender was nice. My one star "food" rating is about the drinks and I think it's fair. My advice: order a beer and enjoy the music.

Man we had a Time. This lady sang us silly. There were grooves I knew the words to. It was an amazing experience for a 45yr old in these bourbon streets Lol.
