This place!!!! It turned out to be (mostly) a private show. We were early as we old ...so got to watch band set up. Super bartender. Super duper. Made me a delish Sazerac n wifey a 75. And whoever that lady was working the kitchen... Those beans n rice with andouille were killer. TY. Couple folk floated in and out but for most part we had a private performance. This was awesome and perfect last night outing. We handed off the bar to the nighter owls n strolled back to our hotel in a kind of bliss. Love love
Three Muses After half a day soaking in the sunshine, jazz, blues, and gospel at the 2026 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival I headed back to Canal Street to chill for a minute before looking for dinner and music on the festival’s first Thursday. I’m aging out of late night shows, so I took a pass on seeing Kings of Leon, Raye, Stephen Marley, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Blind Boys of Alabama, and Cowboy Mouth. Instead, I headed toward Frenchmen Street, and the Three Muses. The musicians from Bad Penny Pleasuremakers were setting up as I arrived around 6 p.m. By the time my drinks arrived the band was in full swing mode. Mills at the bar took my order – beef bulgogi ($16), a bottle of PBR ($5), and a Maker’s Mark neat ($10) did the job. I paid at the bar and took the number letting the server know where to deliver the meal. The band kicked in, and I was transported to heaven. This is a small, open space where the band can dominate without being intrusive. I took my time with my meal, soaking up the generous vibe the band was sharing with the 20 or 30 of us in the hall. I should note a local resource that might get unsung: 99.7 wwoz tracks the music of New Orleans year round, and does a great job alerting us to venues and performances at places like Three Muses.
This spot is a gem on Frenchman. We stayed for 2 sets and both were lit. Had two people under 18 and they were welcome. Loved the staff!!! Will be back again before we leave town. Drinks and menu make this a perfect spot for a date, night our with friends, or time with the fam.
A smaller jazz club offering plenty of seating, food and drinks. Just pop in, relax and enjoy the atmosphere and the live music!
It's been 6 years and I'm still thinking about how much we loved this place - so much, we visited 2 nights in a row. I was with an English friend and wanted to give him a better experience than Bourbon St. Go east of Esplanade: good restaurants with good music. High school jazz band jamming in the street. It was much more like how I remember Bourbon St in the 70s. Our waitress was fantastic, the food delicious, the band wonderful and the atmosphere fun. And I understood it was "woman- owned"! Another very good reason.
