New Orleans Jazz & Blues Market — Attraction in New Orleans

Pros: -Aesthetically BEAUTIFUL; Kudos to the architects, so cool. Great design. Exudes contemporary, cool, chic... The place to be!!!

-Ample street parking

-Stage area, seating area & general congregating area; this place is truly MULTI-PURPOSE!!!! Awesome!!! Lots of area to do different things here there & over there... EVERYWHERE!!!!

-Many entry & exit points; this is a plus due to all around parking. You can enter from North, South, East or West, pick your poison.

Cons: -Not for large parties/events. I was here for LaToya Cantrells Mayoral Election Watch Party & as I expected the turn out was massive, but not to exceed the maximum occupancy, but it was still VERY HOT. Lack of circulating air? Or just the sheet excitement of the event... Idk; but what I do know is, it was hot indoors on a November night 2017 after 8p 😳 while we were in the middle of a semi-cool front. 🙈🙈🙈

-Bartenders were unorganized, confused and super duper slow. Idk if they weren’t anticipating the crowd, but they needed to get it together. The line was literally wrapped from one side of the bar to the other 😳😳😳 who wants a drink after waiting :45 mins? Ehhhhhhh not me. Lol.

Because of the event I attended, I will blame the crappy service, yes I said CRAPPY, organization-lacking bartender's performance on the massive number of folks in attendance; it was was truly maddening. I personally heard several people quietly complaining; I was glad it wasn't just me that was feeling the effects. That being said, management should've really anticipated a larger than normal crowd.

I will attend another event here, but I hope by the time I return they will've fixed their issues; ORGANIZATION IS KEYMakes me think of a pretty car that sputters when...

This is a very nice venue for jazz to say the least. There's not a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are amazing! There's a fully stocked bar which is available before and during the show and it adds to the ambience. Of course, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) led by Mr. Adonis Rose was astonishing. This was my first visit and I traveled from Baton Rouge to hear the all-star show. It was definitely a treat because I had never heard China Moses live and she's jazz royalty as the daughter of the great Dee Dee Bridgewater! It was quite a show and based on the musicianship and the surroundings, I look forward to hearing some great music...

The NOJM is the perfect place for a program with a versatile format. We hosted 3 activations in one day, running one after the other, and I couldn't be more pleased with the overall space capabilities and onsite equipment. A major shoutout to the NOJM's manager, Christilisa G., who was a wonderful, accommodating partner with a can-do attitude and resourceful spirit. The bartending staff was friendly and crushed our custom cocktail menu without complaint. Our program went off without a hitch because of their professionalism and I would without a doubt use them again. Highly...
