Speakeasy - New Orleans

21st is a wonderful bar to listen to excellent jazz music. The venue is small and loud so you will most likely be sharing a table or standing for a bit. We luckily scored a table and yes we shared it with another couple. Jazz is king here but so are their craft cocktails. We were in a Paloma mood and our spicy and not-too-spicy palomas were perfect. Do check out their cocktail menu it is impressive. What is equally impressive is their service Even though the bartenders really mixologists were slammed they moved through the orders quickly and I think I only waited a few minutes for each round. The band that night was high energy and got the crowd amped up and dancing. They even played a bluesy/jazz version of a Bruce Springsteen song! We will definitely return on our next visit.

Amy is one of the BEST bartenders I've ever had, and I went to college in Wisconsin. If you want a small bar with good music and good people, this is the place!

Great bartenders and music. I stumbled upon them and stayed for two sets of pianist Hoe Kennedy. TOTALLY recommend. It's a place for real jazz lovers.

One of my favorite joints for an excellent evening of LIVE entertainment, great libations, and usually a smart , chill crowd. Great place for after dinner too, located a 1 2 block from Bourbon Street. Friendly, professional bartenders that make excellent cocktails. My brother and I swear we had the best Old Fashioned cocktail of our lives there. Thank you for introducing us to Russell 's Bourbon! It is a small place so if you score a table share if you must don 't leave! Music is always authentic and interesting. A MUST location when I am in the Big Easy. Sadly it closes at midnight! small mention I found funny : one night the TV behind the bar had on The Big Lebowski with French subtitles..not that you could hear it over the crowd music.....just so New Orleans cool

This was one of my favorite bars in NOLA. The bartender was so nice and fun to watch. We asked them questions about what they were making and they were really excited to tell us all about it. It was a smaller bar and it luckily wasn 't very busy. They had live jazz music and the duo was great! I wish I got their names so I could find them on social media. They sang an original song called Is a Bat a Bird ? and I am still singing it 3 days later. The drinks were delish. I ordered The Frenchy and it was soooo tasty. It was like a pink lemonade champagne combo. My fiancé got the la panier de pommes and he loved it! I 'd 100% come back here.
