My dinner experience at Bamboula's on Frenchmen Street was nothing short of spectacular! The ambiance was enhanced by the lovely music performed by Amber & the Sweet Potatoes, adding a delightful touch to the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor and creativity.
From the charming atmosphere to the incredible live music, Bamboula's offers an unforgettable dining experience that captures the essence of New Orleans' vibrant culture. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out in the Big Easy!

Bamboula’s is a fantastic jazz bar! We just happen to be walking around Frenchmen area on a Monday afternoon when we heard this wonderful jazz music from the street. The jazz band was great, they were very lovely and interacted well with the crowd. We had drinks at the bar; the bartender was friendly and nice. Some people were eating but we just stayed for drinks. No doubt this bar would be rocking in the evening so this is definitely worth a visit next time we’re in New Orleans!
We got there before the rush thankfully. Got a burger and a drink. Bartender was a sweetheart. The live band was good, the singer was fun. Amazing energy here.
Great place all around. Food was delicious (jambalaya, po boys), drinks were great (hurricane and good beer), and the place per se is fantastic with a vibrant vibe and good music. The place to visit in Frenchmen street.
Excellent food. Great atmosphere. They let our kids come in and have supper and enjoy the band. Was surprised by the 20% tax and 5% card fee, so just keep that in mind so it don’t stump you. Excellent, first class New Orleans experience for the whole family.
We (husband and 5 month old baby) visited Saturday at 4 p.m. The live music lured us in (walk-ins) and we had a great time. We stayed for two hours and really enjoyed ourselves. The catfish po boy was excellent and served hot. We also ordered the hurricane and blonde Nola ale. We would return again.
This bar is a great experience away from the sometimes overbearing bourbon st.
Listened to two bands that were very good.
The lady behind the bar was so helpful. She made cocktails to suit our tastes.
The giant pretzel with crab dip was delicious.

This is one of the coolest clubs on Frenchman Street!
No cover…lots of space to dance if you choose!
Staff is friendly…good size bar food!
If you come to Frenchman St…Atop in before you go to the other spots…it will get you hyped for the day/night—whenever you visit!
This space had great vibes!
