Famous Door, dating back to 1934, is Bourbon Street's oldest live music club still in business. The famous door refers to the front door of the bar that many celebrities and musicians have autographed. Inside there is a sunken dance floor situated in front of a glass-brick stage. The atmosphere is dark, loud, neon and raw. The acoustics and lighting system enhances the performances of the live New Orleans soul and blues bands. Later, when the live music ends, the older folks leave and the bar transforms into a dance club for the younger crowd. It is open from 4p onwards Monday to Wednesday, 3p onwards on Thursday till Friday and On Saturday and Sunday it is open from 2p.

tripadvisorWe visited Friday night and had a great time. The atmosphere was lively and the live music was exceptional. Made my GenX heart happy. We will definitely be back!
MoreRecommended by some folk we met earlier on our travels, we wandered in and were blown away by the bands on both nights we came here. Stood at the bar, great groove, good prices on drinks, everyone super friendly – and no Swifties allowed in!Heaven!
MoreThis is the best place for music if you love classic rock. The band (who play during the day Mon- Weds apparently) were just incredible. Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Whitesnake, Journey - just incredible! And genuinely lovely people too, a credit to the establishment. However there’s lots of signs of everywhere about how they don’t accept this and it’s extra for that - it made it look a bit cheap, but if you stopped people coming in with outside drinks it would probably help. I also forgot to tip the barmaid for my first drink and was told next time around that if I don’t tip then I would be refused service. It was a genuine error but it soured the experience somewhat. The band was amazing though - you could see everyone stopping outside to listen to the classics. Highly recommend, but make sure to tip
More“Sweet Home Alabama” was playing as we walked by, so we had to check it out. We decided to leave when the band played a song we didn’t like. We were there a couple hours! The bar was full of patrons of all ages. Great music and great cocktails!
MoreStopped in the Famous Red Door when on Bourbon street and had a great time. The live music was great and very interactive with the crowd with a large dance floor and you didn’t have to wait long for drinks at the bar. Definitely spent more time here then any other bar and would recommend you check it out if you want to have a good time!
