Many of these live music venues and best dance clubs in New Orleans reflect the fact that New Orleans caters to the late-night population. However, the late-night throngs are unlike any you'll see in other cities. New Orleans is a town where everyone can have a good time. We don't operate with the same sense of exclusivity that a city like New York is known for - you look a certain way, you get in; otherwise, keep behind those stanchions. In most situations, the crowds are diverse, including homosexual, straight, male, female, older, younger, locals, and tourists, all of whom contribute to a great time.
