WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US...
Reviewed April 22, 2022 via mobileThe Spot is Rockin’!In a word: WOW!Okay, I don’t mean to overstate but this place was ROCKIN’!! We had a nice dinner up the street with intentions on checking out some more lively offerings elsewhere on Frenchmen Street. On the way back to the car to stash some dinner leftovers, the Wife wanted to wait for me at the window of Bamboula’s…With the car only a few steps away (yeah, we scored nicely on parking!) I left her there only to return to find her wiggling and dancing at the window!I understood, the energy of the The Wolfe Johns Blues Band was flooding the sidewalk!…I grabbed her by the hand (to the disappointment of some gathering fans, lol!)and said let’s go in!We were soon overwhelmed……able to get a great table quickly, a very attentive server started with some delicious cocktails and the band continued on the first of two sets of blues classics with energy so high, I was tired by the end of the second set! With all the toe-tapping, hand-clapping, feet-stomping, yeah-yelling, and dancing, the work-out was real!We even experienced Mr. Weldon, “Shadow Man” who I heard is something of a fixture around NOLA.The bottom line, we stayed for two full sets, disregarded our intention to check out other spots and decided to make Bamboula’s a regular stop for in NOLA.…and now, I just may check out which episode of “Queen Sugar” was based here……and by the way, the Southern Comfort drought was fixed here! It will not be so hard to find in NOLA if I start at Bamboula’s. As a SoCo cocktail guy, and knowing Southern Comfort was “born” in NOLA, it is consistent to find SoCo in a spot that has proved true to New Orleans expectations!

Best Jazz on Frenchmen St!We had a great time listening to jazz! Of course, it does depend on which band is playing. We were fortunate that Marty Peters and the Party Meters were playing … they were having as much fun as the audience! They are exceptional instrumentalists (saxophone/clarinet, trumpet, guitar & bass) and vocalists but as important is they are entertainers especially Marty. Highly recommend!
Date of visit: April 2022Reviewd by John, Houston, TX Good music!Had a great time listening to jazz in the afternoon. Great place to come to get away from the chaos of Bourbon St. We Heard a great jazz and blues band and it’s a very relaxed atmosphere.
Date of Visit: January 2022Reviewed by Landon P. Great Event - Service, Music, StaffWe had a small cocktail party (50 ppl) at Bamboula's. They did an excellent job. The communication prior to the event was consistent and answered any questions I had. The area designated for our group was set up perfectly with enough staff to serve our crowd. The music was very enjoyable. We had a great time. Would definitely set up another party at Bamboula's!

My favorite hangout in NOLA!Bamboulas is a must on your checklist when visiting NOLA. If you enjoy Blues, Jazz, and Cajun/Zydeco, this place is for you. The food is good, the drinks are tasty, and the servers/bartenders are amazing!
