The main Uptown music joint besides Tipitina's, Maple Leaf Bar focuses on local musicians, with many taking up residency at the bar. Some of the best funk acts of the city play here, from Jon Cleary to George Porter and Johnny Sketch. Maple Leaf is on Oak Street, which is a prime location for doing dinner and a show. Patrons can enjoy New Orleans best music here seven nights a week. The fame of the Maple Leaf once lured Beyonce Knowles to shoot a promotional video for one of her singles, and the stage occasionally has a special guest jump in to jam (Bruce Springsteen and Bonnie Raitt have in the past).
