The Spotted Cat Music Club Review By Gizelle P.: Los Angeles, CA
"BEST bar in New Orleans!

Super casual atmosphere, cheap drinks, and AMAZING bands. What more do you want?

We saw the Washboard Chaz Blues group, WOW. They are world renowned, and it shows. If you are here when they are playing, come visit!

Also a great place to people watch. Some locals come in. There was a guy with a cane and a suit that came in and was a hit with all the ladies, and an old lady who chain smoked and brought her own tambourine to play with the band. Always a good time at the spotted cat!"

Clubs : USA : NO : New Orleans : The Metropolitan Nightclub

About The Metropolitan Nightclub

Another warehouse dance destination, The Metropolitan Club is the premier "video DJ" dance establishment in the city. The intricate lighting and smoke machines set the mood, as partyers find themselves lost in the endless beats bumping through the surround sound speakers. The music offerings are eclectic with Top 40, Hip Hop, Mash Ups, Rock and Pop in one room with House, Electro, Techno, Dubstep and Breaks in another. Flat screen TVs line the walls, so the dancers can follow the DJ from any spot on the floor. Like most good clubs, table service and valets are available. Unlike most clubs where one finds it hard to muscle through the crowds to get a drink, The Metro features 11 bar stations, rendering this problem moot.

The Metropolitan Nightclub Review By Eboni F. : Metairie, LA

Now this is definitely one of the best night spots I have been to hands down... Despite the cover beign a little steep ($25 Friday, at 1am!) it is definitely one of the hottest spots to see and be seen with an adult clientele (grown & sexy)... just mad I missed Anthony Hamilton.. but was lmao when I saw that the hostess was that chick from America's Next Top Model!!

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.

For details on what The Republic has in store during the weekend or coming up in concerts or special events, check out their site here.

Masquerade Review By Song K.: New Orleans, LA
"I finally got to check out Masquerade after hearing some enthusiastic recommendations from both New Orleans natives and first-time visitors. "It's quite a happening place past midnight." Still, I had some reservations given that this was in the middle of a casino and would attract.. well, middle-aged gamblers reeking of cigarette smoke.

Surprisingly enough, I quite liked Masquerade.

It's a cheap version of Las vegas, no doubt, with tacky, tasteless decor and Go-go dancers. Nevertheless the music was BUMPIN' (consisting mostly of Top 40 hip hop) and there was AMPLE room for dancing without unpleasant physical contacts with strangers (unless you're into that kind of thing...). With high ceilings and spacious gambling area surrounding the dance floor, I could have fun without feeling clausterophobic. It's the first time I left a club after 3+ hours spent there without feeling sweaty and gross.

Security personnel patrol the casino area so, say whatever you may about the crowd, it's safe and fun if you're in a good company of people. And if your stomach is rumbling after a hard night of partying, you can buy Fuddruckers burgers, hot dogs, and even Starbucks through the wee hours of the night without having to leave the casino.

Taken altogether, I quite liked the venue. so much so that I commented to my friends that our school should host a party here. But sorry, it would be a private event."

Clubs : USA : LA : New Orleans  : Club Ampersand

About Club Ampersand

Club Ampersand is built into an old bank in the Central Business District of New Orleans. Ampersand takes the decor of The Metropolitan and The Republic up a couple notches, getting a bit classier with a Euro/South Beach flair. Sprawling couches line the walls for VIP members and post dance mingling. Their DJs blare Top 40, house and mash-ups among other genres, keeping party-goers up til 6 and 7 in the morning. Resident mixologists craft up some delicious liquor drinks, and shot/beer specials can be had depending on the night. If you are in town for the Super Bowl or other major event, consider renting out Club Ampersand for your private party. Nicholas Cage did.
