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).

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Beth D'Addono
New Orleans Local Expert
- Best Nightlife: "If you are in town for Jazz Fest, be sure to head to Maple Leaf for one of the "after Jazz Fest" late night shows."
- Jazz Clubs: "Tuesdays are legendary at this uptown hot spot, thanks to Rebirth always being in the house."
- Live Music: "Tuesdays are legendary at this uptown hot spot, thanks to Rebirth almost always in the house."
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: When they're not touring Rebirth is onstage every Tuesday for a later night brass jam.
- Best for Jazz Clubs Because: This Oak Street club is an iconic spot for all kinds of local music uptown.
- Best for Live Music Because: This uptown venue is a classic, one of the best reasons to jump in a cab to hear music.
