Famous Door, dating back to 1934, is Bourbon Street's oldest live music club still in business. The famous door refers to the front door of the bar that many celebrities and musicians have autographed. Inside there is a sunken dance floor situated in front of a glass-brick stage. The atmosphere is dark, loud, neon and raw. The acoustics and lighting system enhances the performances of the live New Orleans soul and blues bands. Later, when the live music ends, the older folks leave and the bar transforms into a dance club for the younger crowd. It is open from 4p onwards Monday to Wednesday, 3p onwards on Thursday till Friday and On Saturday and Sunday it is open from 2p.

Rockbox Rocks!
By Amber, 12/14/08
Just got back from New Orleans and tried out all the bars but the Famous Door was by far the best for entertainment! The band is great, we went and saw them everynight we were there! The only thing I can say negative about the bar is that the drinks were a little pricey incomparison to the others but like every other bar, you can bring your own in so it wasn't that big of a deal.

great time!
By Bri, 10/13/08
There was an 80's cover band playing when we were there and it was a great time! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is rowdy. A great place to begin or end your evening!!

Rockbox Best on Bourbon Street
By Tammy, 06/09/08
The Famous Door is the best bar on Bourbon Street! Their house band, Rockbox is the best! We go to the French Quarter every few weeks and we spend the majority of the night here!
 
 
 
 
 
Rockbox blows the roof off of famous doors
By Linden, 05/01/08
The band Rockbox is awesome. They play all things rock from 8 to 4am nonstop. They even take requests. The lead singer and lead guitar(Brian) are pure energy.

AWESOME TIME
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/28/08
My husband and I went to NOLA for a second honeymoon. After walking along Bourbon Street for an hour or so we came upon the FAMOUS DOOR. We went in and basically never left. We went home late at night and came back early the next day. The band was great. The guitar player (Brian) was awesome. We are already planning out next trip back just to see them and drink 2 for 1's of course. Thanks for a terrific time Famous Door.
