What People Are Saying
from Google"Had an awesome NYE here, we just happened on this place on the way to Bourbon street and ended up watching a show here all night instead! We saw Sierra Green and the Giants, they were excellent. Apparently she is the 'Queen of Frenchmen Street' and we were lucky enough to see her! So so fun, good venue. Small and intimate, and the waitress was very sweet. Great experience overall."
"I had a great time at their Jam session! The server was kind and attentive. I just wish they would offer any type of snack. I would have liked to have a bag of chips or pretzels along with the drinks."
"Band was 10/10, the music and vibes were some of the best we had all night. We started our night there, went bar hopping and came back to end the last 2-3 hours of the night there."
"Awesome venue - especially if Higher Heights are playing! We went two nights in a row. Absolutely amazing band playing in super friendly place!"
"Cafe Negril is a live music venue located on Frenchmen Street. The atmosphere is vibrant and enjoyable for all. The live music is of great quality. Ranges jazz, blues, funk, reggae, and rock and roll."
