Title
Snug Harbor :: New Orleans Premier Jazz Club
Description
This is the most intimate Jazz venue in New Orleans. Combine the intimacy with an ever-changing line up of some of the best musicians in the world and you end up with an up-close and personal music experience that can not be matched anywhere else in the city. On almost any night you are guaranteed to bear witness to the forefront of contemporary jazz in the making. The small wood-paneled bar room holds several tables for dining where dim lighting and exposed wooden beams give off the feeling of being in a cabin in the woods. The performance hall boasts 25 foot ceilings and several tables lined up in front of an elevated stage. Menu items include the Seafood Pasta; oysters, shrimp and crawfish with penne rigate pasta, sauteed in extra virgin cold pressed olive oil, the Crawfish Etouffe, and the freshly cut and grilled Filet Mignon.
An inconspicuous spot that's earned a reputation as the city's most prestigious jazz club. Snug is separated into three distinct spaces: a cozy restaurant with candlelit tables; a warm, dark-wood bar area; and a performance club with close-quartered table seating on two levels. Most nights, the club's floor level and the adjacent bar are teeming with young jazz hopefuls, instruments in tow, ready to play if called upon from the stage. The action starts early here--sets are at 9pm and 11pm nightly--long before the rest of the colorful Frenchmen Street scene begins percolating.
Unlike the old-school proceedings at Preservation Hall or the Palm Court, Snug Harbor is more in line with the times; players often advance the art form's future rather than preserve the legacy of its past. Ellis Marsalis,Charmaine Neville and Astral Project are among the many New Orleans talents who regularly grace the stage.
