Cafe Negril

Per the band: "Hey Y’all! This Friday. 6:30-9:30. Cafe Negril. Come have a drink and hear some tunes. Can’t wait!"

Labor Day Weekend is officially on the clock, and we’re starting off strong at 6:30 PM with Matt Wilson & Sinking City. Matt and the crew bring that raw, driving Crescent City funk-rock energy that gets straight to the point—no fluff, just heavy-hitting arrangements, burning guitar work, and a beat that forces your feet to start moving.

We’ve got the full lineup of house perks ready for the holiday weekend: blast-chilled industrial A/C to freeze out the September mugginess, signature craft pours, botanical zero-proof mocktails, crisp seltzers, and a hot food pop-up slinging savory local plates for ya. Free entry for General Admission as always, or hit the link below to lock in dedicated VIP table service for your krewe before the room fills up. Come raise a glass with the 606 family and let's kick this long weekend off right! 🎷⚡️🥂

Thursday night is rolling in, and at 8:00 PM, 2nd Lion Reggae takes over the floor to lay down those heavy, conscious roots rhythms. If your week has been loud and chaotic, this is the exact spot on Frenchmen Street to shake off the static and catch a deep, uplifting groove with people who care about real sound.

Our industrial A/C is cranked down to keep the whole room bone-dry and freezing cold, while the bar team stays busy pouring custom craft drinks, zero-proof mocktails, and chilled local seltzers. Free for General Admission, or use the link below to lock in a dedicated VIP table with the best view and table service for your whole squad. We can't wait to see y'all! 🦁⚡️🥂

Wednesday night is when the real heads slip out onto Frenchmen to recharge, and at 7:30 PM, Jam-ilton takes over the room. This isn't just a mid-week gig—it’ll make you forget all about your daytime troubles. If you're coming off a long shift or just wandering down the strip looking for authentic, unvarnished local talent, there's an open chair with your name on it.

We’re serving upcold glasses and heavy grooves. Step in out of the thick evening air into our ice-cold A/C, grab a custom craft pour, an icy mocktail, or a chilled seltzer, and let the music do the rest. Free cover for GA, or hit the link below to lock in VIP table service for your krewe and the best view in the house. Let’s make some mid-week noise! 🎷⚡️🥂

Tuesday on Frenchmen Street is for the players, the music lovers, and anyone who knows that the best moments in this city are completely unscripted.

Starting at 7:00 PM, John Lisi & Delta Funk! launch the Super-Most-Fantastic-Blues-N-Such-Jam. They bring a heavy, greasy blues-funk pocket that sets the perfect launching pad for our open mic night. Pack your guitar, bring your horn, or step up to the mic—you never know which local legends or traveling icons are gonna walk through the door and sit in with the house band. And why would anyone want to miss that Sham smile.

Not playing tonight? Pull up a stool, double up with our Tuesday 2-for-1 well drinks, food pop-up, and all the regular libations you crave. Our sub-zero A/C is blast-chilled to freeze out the sticky September air. General Admission is zero cover charge as always! Tap the link below if your crew wants to lock in a VIP table right by the stage with dedicated table service. Come watch the unexpected with us! 🎸⚡️🥂
