My group of 75 LOVED their time in the Foundation Room. As the planner, I can say that contracting, planning, and executing was a breeze! I could not be happier with my experience at the HOB. ALL of the HOB staff, the food, AND the atmosphere was outstanding. This was memorable event for my attendees that they will continue to talk about for years to come.

An amazing hidden gem! Beautiful place and atmosphere, great live music and food! Destiny was our server tonight and she was fantastic, very friendly and just great! If you don’t make it here during your visit to New Orleans you’ll be missing out!

We stopped in for drinks, appetizers, and to enjoy the live music, but the experience fell flat. The bar staff working the back patio was extremely rude — they visited every table around us except ours, and after waiting far too long without even being acknowledged, we decided to leave.
The only person who showed any courtesy was the bar back, who at least offered a friendly attitude. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the service.
Disappointing visit overall.

What should have been a pleasant evening was terrible at Voodoo Garden. Good music, nice weather, and the area was clean and open. The service was absolutely terrible. Several wait staff were available and noone ever checked on us. I had to order at the bar (nevermind we were seated at a table). Then when i asked about food the waitress/bartender was rude and ignored me until it was time to cash out. I won't be back and I would not recommend.

We hosted a corporate event at House of Blues New Orleans, and our customers had nothing but positive things to say about their experience! We rented both the Music Hall and the Foundation Room, and this pleased both the people who like live music and those who wanted a quieter spot to socialize. House of Blues contracted dueling pianos for us, and it was highly entertaining! They kept the crowd engaged. Nicole was an amazing partner to work with on this event! If you have a large event coming to New Orleans, I highly recommend House of Blues for your evening entertainment!
