Featured Live Music Club

dragonsden.jpgA venue that has the feel of an old Bangkok opium den, this two story music club has over the last twenty years become ground zero for the avant-garde and DJ scene in New Orleans.

There are two music rooms in the building, with the downstairs room mainly featuring DJ's and hip hop acts, and the upstairs room showcasing jazz, funk, and other acts, all usually with an experimental flavor.

The feel of the club is friendly and very hip, with lots of tattoos and dreadlocks.   Individual expression is valued highly here. The late night scene can be the most happening in town, so showing up at midnight or 1AM can be a great idea on the right night. Covers tend to be very low, and drink prices are also cheap.

Located on the dividing line between the French Quarter and the Faubourg Marigny, the Dragon's Den is a great spot to come in and out of all night while bar hopping on Decatur and Frenchmen Streets.
