Matt Alleman, owner of Republic New Orleans, has had a hand in the management, ownership, promotion, and/or reinvention of virtually every successful nightclub/special events facility created in New Orleans within the past eight years.  He became disenchanted and bored with the passing fads and short-lived trends that have become so cliché in today’s entertainment venue market. Matt’s goal is to harbor an atmosphere that celebrates New Orleans’ historic elements through an innovative and modern interpretation.  The owner’s hope is to captivate guests of all ages through diverse programming and commitment to an excellent experience for all guests who choose Republic New Orleans as there home for entertainment.

The Republic of Music By Angelina At Go

Now that the world agrees New Orleans is the number one spot for nightlife, according to TripAdvisor.com’s Annual Travelers’ Choice Awards, here’s my take on a trendy spot that’s helped New Orleans get such a high honor – The Republic.

Referred to mistakenly as “Miamiesque” (no disrespect to that wonderful city), The Republic (828 South Peters) is definitely not your traditional New Orleans hole (gem)-in-the-wall (which personally, I prefer), but it’s heaven for those seeking an urban slash chic night club where usually, you’ll have to dress to impress to get in. But this isn’t your typical froufrou night club either and dressing up (versus dressing down) will depend on what you’re there for.

Based in the Warehouse District, inside a 150 year old building full of history, The Republic sets itself apart as it hosts some of the most popular (and not so popular) indie rock, electro punk, afro-indie, indie-folk, noise-pop, noise-rock, electro-pop or any sub-genre of indie or alternative music you can think of (there are so many), plus funk, jazz, rap and hip-hop.

Some of their most recent concerts include Slightly Stoopid, Julian Casablancas, Infected Mushroom, Gift of Gab, Spoon, and Miike Snow, who preformed to hundreds of enthusiastic fans there the night of June 9th, some driving in from close-by cities and states to catch the unmatched electro beats of this Swedish band. I was there and no lie, they had my hairs pointing straight up, as if my hands touched those silver magnetic balls from Science class, but to the extreme.

The venue is ideal for an intimate crowd. There was no need to go to the upstairs balcony overlooking the stage on this night but other times, the balcony offers some of the best views, especially if you land a spot in the first few rows. The bars are conveniently situated on both ends of the club and mix up great drinks. I’m also really fond of their women bathrooms – so clean and elegant with a beautiful, classical mirror covering the back wall. (I’ve always had the strange need to check out the bathrooms everywhere I go. Is that weird?)

Plus, The Republic hosts neon friendly throw-back parties over the weekend (which tend to have a younger turnout as the club allows 18-year-olds and above to enter on certain nights), retro to recycled to rampant fashion shows, special fundraisers and other memorable events throughout the year. It’s a great spot to catch your favorite band or let loose with your friends, or make new ones.
