The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret

This bar has been on my list for a while. Ive previously heard of the burlesque, poetry and drag. I've never seen a burlesque show and honestly not sure what I saw. The strangest, funniest, most erotic entertainment I wish I had experienced earlier. How do you make burlesque in clown makeup sexy?! Go see the show and find out! The bayou blues burlesque was on point. All the dancers were exquisite, the band was funny and even enjoyed them making fun of me. Got to come back sometime for the poetry night, even if it's midweek.

was recommended by greg at the cemetery tour on basin. glad we listened. once in a life time experience

I am a TransWoman. Do not always feel comfortable or safe in some bars but Allways lounge is the best. Nothing but super Queer silly fun with other humans that respect everyone. Even if you are straight homosapien everyone treats you with respect and kindness.

Very queer inclusive performance space. Every show is so much fun. Love the vibe of this place.

We saw an AWESOME show by Van Ella Bordella: A Storyville Burlesque, followed by swing night The Slick Skillet Serenaders and Tsarina Hellfire on Sunday night. So much New Orleans magic and so many peak experiences

We went to the Little Shop show on Halloween and had an amazing time. So many shows to choose from that week, but I’m so glad we made it to that one! Be aware there are different little stages within the building, so make sure you’re in the right spot for your event. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, particularly the lovely individual who helped us at the ticket window (I cannot recall your name by now, but our whole group commented on your service ). I enjoyed the show so much and will definitely drop in to the AllWays Lounge if I find myself back in New Orleans!

Went for a Christmas Eve queer cabaret with my brother, and had the Best time! The staff are super sweet and the service from them was top notch, but the real treat was the performers. From this fantastic Jewish burlesque duo to the hostesses with the mostess Tibby Honest and Bette Tittler, I couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining ringing in of Christmas Day. If you’re in New Orleans and Allways Lounge is NOT on your list, make plans to go now! It’s jolly, it’s inclusive and you’ll leave with a smile on your face.

This show was absolutely brilliant! All the ladies were hilarious and the piano player was fantastic. They incorporated the history of Storyville through song and dance and comedy. It was amazing! It was everything I hoped and wished for!! I look forward to coming back and experiencing another show sometime.

Great place to see local burlesque and drag talent. They have great pop ups for food sometimes too. Bring all your money here!!!!

Went to the Van Ella Bordella show while spending the week in NOLA and it was incredible. The Madame was hilarious, the show was perfectly raunchy and fun, and the piano player was incredible. Definitely worth the $25 and basically any seat is a good seat.
