The Spotted Cat

The velvety tones of sax, the swing of trombone and soul-thumping beat of drums create a uniquely mesmerizing atmosphere at The Spotted Cat, where some of New Orleans' favorite jazz and blues musicians take the stage and own it from open to close. Everything about this usually hopping lounge lends itself to a spirited, carefree experience, including the potent drinks, welcoming staff and an easy-going crowd looking for nothing but fun as they swing and jitterbug the night away. Afternoon shows from 3 or 4 pm are sure to get you in the mood for cheek to cheek action now, or later on, back at the hotel.
