In New Orleans, we don’t separate our flavors from our sounds—or our spirits from our soul. At The Howlin’ Wolf, we bring it all together under one legendary roof, serving up more than just shows. We deliver the real New Orleans experience, plated, poured, and played loud.
Here’s how we keep the vibe deliciously authentic.
🎶 A Venue That Lives and Breathes Local Music

From the moment you walk through our doors, you're stepping into decades of musical history. This isn’t just a stage—it’s a launching pad for New Orleans’ most iconic sounds. Whether it’s Rebirth Brass Band, Hot 8, or a rising local funk powerhouse, the music here is raw, real, and rooted in NOLA tradition.
We don’t just host concerts—we host culture.
🍽️ Food That Hits Like a Drumline
It’s not a party without great food—and we’ve got that on lock. Our kitchen serves soulful Southern comfort with a twist, blending barroom bites with the rich culinary heritage of Louisiana.
Fan favorites include:
Bacon Cheddar Beignets (🏆 Winner of “Best Savory Beignet” at Beignet Fest)
Boudin Egg Rolls
Shrimp & Grits Bites
Cajun Fries with house remoulade
Plus rotating specials featuring seasonal local ingredients
Whether you’re grabbing a bite before the band hits the stage or booking full catering for a private event, our menu keeps the flavor front and center.
🍺 Drinks on Tap, Spirits in the Air
The Howlin’ Wolf bar features over 100 beers and 25 local taps, showcasing brews from hometown heroes like Abita and NOLA Brewing. Pair your pint with a signature cocktail, or go for our themed occasion shots (perfect for weddings, birthdays, or Mardi Gras blowouts).
Our bartenders are part mixologist, part spirit guide, and all vibe.

💃 Events That Dance to Their Own Beat
Want a brass band at your wedding? A burlesque show at your birthday? A tarot reader next to your custom cake? We’ve seen—and hosted—it all.
The Wolf and The Den are built for:
Live music celebrations
Themed parties & costumed chaos
Corporate events with character
Immersive pop-up shows
Second line parades straight off the dance floor
If you can dream it (and it's loud enough), we can throw it.
🌆 Come Hungry for More
What we do isn’t just nightlife. It’s New Orleans life. Every show, every meal, every beat that hits the walls of The Howlin’ Wolf is steeped in the culture of this city we call home.
So come for the food. Stay for the funk. Leave with a story you’ll be telling long after the music stops.
Book your next event, catch a show, or just stop in for a bite and a beer.
