If you work in New Orleans’ hospitality scene, you know the drill—you’re serving up cocktails, clearing tables, checking guests into their hotels, and making sure everyone else has the time of their life. But who’s making sure you get to unwind?
At The Howlin’ Wolf, we believe the people who keep this city’s nightlife alive deserve a party of their own. That’s where Service Industry Night—a.k.a. SIN—comes in.
What Is SIN?
SIN is our way of saying thank you to the bartenders, servers, chefs, hotel staff, tour guides, and every other hospitality hero who makes New Orleans magical. It’s an exclusive night dedicated to service industry workers, with special perks like:
Discounted drinks and bites to keep your tab as low as your stress level.
Live entertainment—from brass bands and DJs to stand-up comedy and burlesque.
Late-night hours so you can party after your shift.
