Great atmosphere and drinks! The live music was a phenomenal vibe that made me wanna dance all night. 10/10 would recommend the "cool as a cucumber" drink, so refreshing on a hot day. Jonathan was a great bartender and took great care of us!

Bourbon Heat is a gem! The food is absolutely delicious, the service is warm and attentive, and the place has such a cozy atmosphere. But what really stood out was the management team, they went above and beyond to help me sort out a misdirected package that was accidentally delivered to their address instead of my hotel. Incredible kindness from an incredible team. A must-visit in New Orleans!

We were simply walking past Bourbon Heat when the sound of a live band caught my attention and listen, if there’s live music anywhere within earshot, I’m going to investigate. The energy spilling out of the place was too good to resist, so we decided to stop in for lunch, and I’m so glad we did. The atmosphere inside was upbeat without being overwhelming, and the band added such a fun, authentic New Orleans vibe. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel like you’re part of the moment, even if you only planned to stay for a quick bite. My husband ordered the shrimp po’ boy, and he practically inhaled it that’s how you know it was good. I ordered the boudin egg rolls, and they were flavorful, crispy, and surprisingly filling. And the drinks? Buy one, get one free. Yes ma’am, we were absolutely winning. You can’t beat that kind of deal, especially in the French Quarter. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had great timing, checking on us but never hovering. Another major plus: the bathroom was very clean which is not something you can always say on Bourbon Street! Overall, Bourbon Heat gave us good food, great music, great drinks, and a genuinely fun experience. Perfect spot to stop in whether you’re exploring, people-watching, or just chasing some live music like I was. We’ll definitely be back!
