Late-Night Jazz & Cocktails

Low light, a brass quartet and craft cocktails — the kind of night that turns into a slow dance you didn't plan.

Blue Room, New Orleans

Thu–Sat, 9pm–late

Arrive before the second set so you can get a table near the front. Order something you cannot pronounce and let the room do the rest.

How the night goes

  1. 01Get there by nine for a table with a view of the band.
  2. 02One classic cocktail each, then swap.
  3. 03Stay for the last set — it is always the loosest.
