The House of Blues in New Orleans is unlike any other venue that shares its name. Opened in 1994 in the French Quarter, this historic blues house offers standing room viewing of a stage that gets concert-goes right on top of the performers. Each stage contains a box welded to the bottom containing original Mississippi mud, ensuring "that every artist has the roots and the spirit of the South planted beneath their feet". The New Orleans location has more than 298 pieces of folk art that line the walls and hallways of the interior. The calendar is always packed with not only blues artists, but top names from every genre.

New Orleans Local Expert
- Best Nightlife: "Check the concert calendar before your trip and get tickets in advance as shows tend to sell out."
