The Spotted Cat Music Club, New Orleans

Nestled in the Faubourg Marigny district, The Spotted Cat is a top-notch spot for experiencing live jazz and blues. It can be found on the famous Frenchmen Street, which is essentially the go-to place for nightlife in New Orleans outside of Bourbon Street. This charming bar tends to fill up quickly, especially when swing dancers hit the dance floor and claim the cozy space inside.

Starting at 4 pm and continuing into the evening, you'll be treated to a diverse range of fantastic musical genres, including jazz, swing, big band, gypsy melodies, blues, and more. Wednesday evenings are particularly special as they offer complimentary swing dancing lessons taught by seasoned pros. What makes the Spotted Cat even more appealing is that you typically won't encounter a cover charge for their exceptional live music. Instead, they encourage patrons to show their appreciation by tipping the musicians and enjoying some drinks.
