Bourbon Street is where the tourists go, but Frenchmen Street is the spot if you want to experience some real New Orleans nightlife. Blue Nile is a Frenchmen Street nightclub housed in one of the oldest buildings on the famed rue (1832). The club consistently draws some of the best local and nationally touring musical acts, and offers a full bar to help ease their patrons into a night. The blue and gold interior sets a mellow vibe, making transitioning from business to pleasure rather simple. The establishment features entertainment on two floors, including an upstairs balcony which looks out over Frenchmen.
