Neutral Ground Coffeehouse — Restaurant in New Orleans

This is my place of places to go and chill and hang out. It's open from 7pm to midnight every night. The only time it closes is New Year's or is it - yeah New Year's eve. But this place you can be who you are. No pretense. Tucked in the covey of uptown on Danneel Street which is between St. Charles and Freret Street is the place for musicians to play before a live audience. Caveat - sometimes you have to bring your own crowd. But if you promote your show - they'll pass the tip basket around and you could make a few dollars for the night. Every musician that's worth their salt has booked a show there. Allain Touissaint played there before his untimely death. Now on Sundays there is an open mic. It's the longest running Open Mic in the south. Now there is no alcohol which makes it a great place for recovering alcoholics to enjoy...

I went there to study and sat in the back away from the music and was confused as to why I was being judged for not spending more money. Was my only negative experience there unfortunately. Drinks are okay, prepackaged most of them. It’s more about the atmosphere which is overall great...

This place is my favorite spot in New Orleans, it's the coolest coffee place I've been to here. It's an old school coffee shop with couches all around the place, super cozy and they have the coolest barista. They even have a really cool tea room, and they have live music at night most of the time, usually local young musicians and bands. The coffee is pretty decent but the looks and atmosphere of the place is so unique and friendly. It's honestly the one place I recommend to everyone in...
