When we decided to have our destination wedding in New Orleans, we knew we wanted something on Bourbon to give our guests the true party experience. When we met with Jeanne and the team at Maison Bourbon (Vieux Carre Venues), we were so excited about the possibilities! The venue has a balcony facing the best and most lively intersection of Bourbon St. and is such a gorgeous space. We rented both rooms - one above Maison Bourbon which is adjoined with the one above MyBar@365. We had our wedding catered and our guests are still raving about the selection of food. We highly recommend the brisket and the oysters! There was so much comfortable seating and they allowed us bring in our own beads to toss from the balcony. There were clean restrooms, two full bars, and the ambiance was spectacular! We are so thankful to get to work with Jeanne as our coordinator - she is truly the sweetest and most patient person! We had so many questions along the way and their team never hesitated to get right back to us with details. Don't sleep on this venue! It's affordable and truly worth the experience!
Such an amazing experience! If you are wanting good jazz in NOLA, come here. The service was phenomenal. So many great drink options (thank you for the surfsides!). The music was absolutely fantastic. Real jazz players playing 5-7 sets. Bring cash for the show. Definitely a must go to spot. Would come here every night
Maison Bourbon sounds like a brand of jam you’d find in a Carrefour 45 minutes outside of Paris. But it is not. It is a jazz bar in New Orleans. The band that was playing here was good, but the singer definitely seemed like he was on some substances when he wasn’t (incredibly competently) playing the saxophone. The beers were a reasonable price, it wasn’t too busy and there was plenty of room to dance. Overall a fun experience.
While we were in New Orleans we had a few drinks in Maison Bourbon. The jazz band was excellent and they were funny when they introduced music and with general banter. Highly recommended
