    It's always worth checking in at this friendly space while on Frenchmen St. It's about as intimate as it gets, with a 1ft-high stage crammed into a room full of tables and an upbeat crowd congregating in the bar and out on the sidewalk. Shows often start early here (18:00 or 20:00), making this a good place to start the evening, and a convenient link between dinner and visiting the clubs on Frenchmen St.

    The New Orleans Jazz Vipers hold down the fort on Friday night (19:00) and The Washboard Chaz Blues Band grind it out on Saturday (19:00).

    Cafe Brasil

    On the corner of Frenchmen St, a hip, bohemian crowd dances to reggae, Latin jazz and acoustic bands.
