"*9 October 2025* Visiting from Atlanta. A time was had! My last tequila shot did EXACTLY what I needed it to do. The DJ did his thing. I was on the dance floor enjoying myself. The bartenders were great. The place was packed, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'd totally come here again the next time I'm in NOLA. The walk just to enter the Blue Nile was entertaining; so many characters on the street."

"Blue Nile is a live music venue. Theres a variety of musical acts ranging from jazz to afro beats. It has an energetic atmosphere, huge dance floor, and large bar. There's an upper level, a lower level, and a balcony with views. The space is located on Frenchman Street. Blue nile is accessible. 21 and older establishment, most night there is no cover."

"Standout music quality, no cover, bar service was quick when we were there, but we were probably early for them. If you aren't going here for the music, I don't think there is anything here for you, but it was our favorite spot in NOLA."

"Walking down the street the bouncer spoke to us and was very nice asking us to come in so we did! Very neat upper and lower level to enjoy! Bartender and all staff was very friendly too and the music was good! Lots of drink selections too! Highly recommend while in the area! Great spot, neat balcony with views, good staff and music and drinks as well! Come check it out!!!"

"We were in New Orleans celebrating my wife’s third “29th” birthday, and our night at Blue Nile was truly one of the highlights of the trip. With Kermit Ruffins performing, we knew we were in for a great time—but the experience far exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was fantastic. The doormen, ticket booth team, and everyone we interacted with were friendly, welcoming, and professional. But the real standouts were the bar staff. Bar manager Gil and bartenders Wendy and Madison were second to none—warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They didn’t just serve us; they made us feel like family. We reserved the VIP table next to the bar, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the weekend. The service we received elevated the entire night and made the celebration truly special. Thank you, Gil, Wendy, and Madison—you made my wife’s birthday unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!"
