The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had an amazing time at the Van Ella Bordella Burlesque show! A must place to attend when visiting NOLA. Not only it was educational, but empowering and artistically beautiful.

Went to a show for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable and fun. The environment was very relaxed and felt very personal with the performers who were all amazing

Van Ella Bordella was absolutely amazing. Great show about the history of Story ville. Performers were stunning, gorgeous and generous. She reads every review. IYKYK. Thanks for playing Pink Pony Club. A small piece of me was healed in that moment.

Awesome little spot! We will be back! Excellent entertainment and great drinks. Very local spot. Very small. A+ musicians and dancers. Tons of fun!

A home to every cabaret, drag, and burlesque performer in New Orleans

Thanks for the great Burlesque show experience! They had a wonderful Drag show parallel to it too. Great place to visit when you’re in NOLA.

The burlesque show was the best thing I've ever seen! AMAZING!!!

This show is absolutely a must see. I had a great time watching the Vampyre Burlesque.

The All Ways Lounge was an absolute blast during our visit. We attended Pinky Deville burlesque show and the entertainment did not disappoint. Kennedy took excellent care of us with our drinks. Not terribly far from from the French Quarter. Just take a stroll down Frenchmans, and enjoy the live music on your way to the All Ways Lounge.

First time in NOLA and doing anything on my own. I've always been intrigued by Burlesque. Not just the beautiful women and sparkly wardrobe, but the comedy aspect of it as well. Ive always appreciated burlesque as a whole because it is so welcoming to all and teaches us to not take life so seriously all if the time and to just laugh at ourselves. I loved that the performers were a mix of all body types. Each performer was beautiful in her own way and the comedy really added to a very fun and comfortable night. Special shootout to the professor on the piano keeping everything going too! Thank you, ladies for making my first and only night in NOLA fun and unforgettable.

Fantastic time, incredible staff and performers. Very fun and highly recommended

Absolutely enthralling show!!! One of our best NOLA experiences hands down 🙌🏼

The best show we’ve seen in NOLA!!! A must see!

This was so fun. Truly of the tours and shows we went to in NOLA, so easy and entertaining and well worth your time to attend. You won't stop laughing!!

Best cabaret show in New Orleans!

Wonder show tonight for Sapphic Burlesque night. It was fun, I felt safe and accepted. A new "must stop" in New Orleans.

We got tickets for The New Orleans High Society Hour! show and it did not disappoint. The place had a cool cabaret atmosphere, band was outstanding and engaging, Angie is funny, sexy and a great singer. Overall an excellent time! p.s.: we did not have any food.

This is my favourite place in New Orleans. You are guaranteed to have a brilliant time, no matter which show you attend. A New Orleans experience that is not to be missed.

We had such a fun night here, we went to a show for Jeez Loueez and it was an amazing night. All of the performers were so talented. I can’t wait until we are back in New Orleans and can come see Jeez perform. Great energy overall, loved everything!

Pinky deVille’s show Variété deVille was INCREDIBLE and an absolute highlight for our trip to New Orleans!! We booked the tickets last minute and couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience, there were 4 different acts all who were fantastic, the atmosphere was so fun and inviting!! Will be recommending to everyone I know, don’t miss out on Pinky’s show!!!

What an amazing show! Our first time in NOLA and we booked VIP seats for the Van Ella Bordella show. I was completely mesmerized by the talent and beauty of these ladies. Ainsley KILLED it on the piano! Madame Gigi Marx was hands down my favorite! Beauty, talent, humor...she had it all! One of the best shows I've seen in a long time and the atmosphere was amazing. I wish we had this setup closer to home...I would visit regularly.

I bought tickets to a show from their website, & staff never even arrived. The building was locked closed. Show was apparently canceled, but no one even told us or any of the other 20 guests stranded outside, nor did they care about our wasted Uber money. Edit to repond to owner: Cancel for whatever reason you need, but PLEASE tell people. Eventbrite allows cancellation & notifying buyers with just a few clicks. Recklessly abandoning a bunch of queer folks in the streets for hours is unsafe & disproportionately harms the most marginalized.

I would give 7 out of 10 if I could!! Lol. I guess you had to be there! Van Ella Bordella (burlesque) a great time. Sexy and hilarious! I give a 5 star Google' review.

these folks are dancers and comedians… providing a space that is simultaneously sexy, comfortable, welcoming, hilarious, and inclusive - they are working magic here! do yourself a favor and go check out “spin that wheel” because it is absolutely delightful and an excellent way to spend your time and money. your entertainment is guaranteed! [this review is written with all the love from the birthday princess golden osetra]

Bought top VIP for the Van Ella show, absolutely worth seeing. Downside is not all tables are equal. Was sat on a semi view side area. Also the champagne was not poured by any of the troop. But absolutely would see again, just would skip the vip in favor of GA as they get full view of the performance.

Wonderful show! First cabaret show and Pinky was an amazing host and performer, tons of fun.

Lovely place to hang, listen to great music, and watch talented artists!

Went to Burning Hell Burlesque this past weekend and had an absolute blast! Highly recommend, unless you hate fun, rock and roll and/or cake sitting. Then by all means please stay home.

This was fantastic. My wife and i went their for any anniversary, and we saw the Van Ella Bordella (burlesque) show. It was the best I've seen. Entertaining and funny throughout the show. If you are visiting NOLA, you must catch a show, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely go again on our next trip.

We were fortunate enough to see the vampire cabaret. It was beyond charming and wonderful. The hosts Stanley Roy and Madame Hellfire were funny, talented, charming and easy on the eyes. The box office and house host, Lady Midnight was also an absolute joy and a perfect front of house manager. If you are a native or a visitor to the area, I can’t share enough how welcomed and loved we felt by the staff and performers. Don’t miss a chance to see something from them. The dramatic literature reading had me crying. You will experience Fantasy!

Great space for avant garde art. Trish is a super kind bartender. My wife and I went three nights in a row. Our favorite show was the bordallo show on Thursday.

Recently saw a burlesque musical Jesus Christ super star. It was one of my favorite outings I’ve had while visiting New Orleans. The bartender Trish was really nice, the show was hilarious and well put together. I will definitely be visiting here again when I’m in town.

Saw a production of Jesus Christ Superstar this past weekend and it was amazing 👏 stunning and talented cast, the production was so popular they ran a second, earlier show! Nicki Nicolai and staff put on an amazing collaboration of artists for this drag burlesque musical.

Tuesday night show was a blast!

Saw the The Van Ella Bordella: A Storyville Burlesque show on a Saturday night....was absolutely fantastic. Great interaction with the audience, all of the actresses were amazing and super friendly. Plus got a little history lesson! Thanks again ladies...made the night!

The show was great although not on time but really the bathrooms need help. I also felt a little pressured to tip the dancers more after I had already tipped each of them

Saw an incredible singing showcase Sweet D*ck Productions presents “They Got Pipes” in the Twilight Lounge last Friday where host Bette Tittler was an absolute standout. Her talent, commanding voice & poise through chaotic good created a joyous performance of incredible artists. As an audience member she helped me feel safe & encouraged all of us to relax & be completely silly with sweet & sexy comic bits & stellar costume pieces. Standout performer Risa Grace closed with a powerhouse rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” that gave me chills. Definitely recommend Allways & any show Bette hosts or is performing in there 💜

Loved loved loved the Van Ella Bordella Burlesque show!

Went for Sunday night linde hop dancing the turn out was great. They do burlesque shows in the back as well.

My fav place to see a show in New Orleans!!! Always something going on, I love it! Def have to Uber to/from it tho

Had an amazing time watching Pinky Deville and her variety act!

If you're looking for a night out in The French Quarter, but Bourbon Street isn't your scene, you'll love this place. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing The Van Ella Bordella: A Storyville Burlesque. It turned out to be a great way to kick off Women's History Month because the host wove in local Storyville herstory with the acts. The show definitely had a feminist lesbian lean to it which made it a perfect choice for us. They feature a variety of burlesque performers, strong drinks and a great VIP section that comes with complimentary champagne. I highly recommend it to avoid sitting with the rowdy bachelorette parties New Orleans is notorious for. If you forget to bring cash, no worries there's an ATM at the front door so you can show your appreciation for the gorgeous performers as they titillate your senses.

So much fun!!! Wonderful performers, great service, and welcoming atmosphere!!! One of the best of New Orleans!!!

I adore the Allways Lounge. The service is sweet, accommodating, flexible, and talented. The talent they book is always top tier and unique. The environment is one of the most unique and family-like in New Orleans.

Van ELLA BORDELLA IS AMAZING!! Must see for tourists!! It’s like a history tour and a tiddy bar and a cultural explosion of local performers 💜💜💜💜💜

Went to the Burlesque show last week. It was a great show. Funny and well acted by the performers. I would recommend this venue for anyone visiting or living in Nola. I happen to be looking at their calendar for another show to go to on a non-parade day.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We are local and absolute adore The Allways Lounge! We have seen all differing varieties of shows and combos of all and these performers do not disappoint! They have burlesque, drag, comedy, music, rock opera, choose your fate and so many more! Guests need to remember you are seeing REAL people perform LIVE, for YOU, so be generous with your praise, enthusiasm and tips and they will most certainly make sure you have a great time!

Best place in the city for burlesque, drag, so many creative & fun shows <3

Amazing evening at the AllWays Lounge attending the FoxyRose Variety Show last weekend! The hosts Ramona Rose and Fox Monroe are beautiful, talented, and funny! They entertained us while making jokes, keeping the audience engaged, and offering incredible performances. All of the acts were amazing ranging from burlesque to drag to side show. What I appreciated the most is that they seemed to genuinely love and care about all of the performers and the AllWays venue. I will definitely tell all of my friends to come to the AllWays Lounge any time they are in New Orleans! Keep up the great work! ❤️

I’ve lived in NOLA over twenty years. I love this place. I’ve seen so many amazing acts there; and the staff is always lovely and attentive.

The AllWays Lounge is the real deal. It is the home of New Orleans drag/burlesque/ counter cult. scene. If you are not seeing NOLA Queer Performance at the AllWays Lounge, then you are not seeing NOLA Queer Performance.

This is the space to be in New Orleans if you want to enjoy the best performances the city has to offer. Stacked with shows every day, from burlesque, drag, and sideshow, to live music, comedy, and poetry; you’ll never be bored when you visit. Expect great service and strong drinks. Make sure you have your ID though!

I love this space with all my heart. I've been to multiple events there and I'm always overjoyed. Inclusive, fun, affordable, the allways lounge is part of the beating heart of our neighborhood.

Wow! Just wow!! My partner and I came to the Allways lounge on Saturday night. And were blown away. The venue was so cool!! With the old school cabaret vibe and a hint of New Orleans originality. But the show we saw was spectacular! The Foxyrose Variety Show, was like nothing I’ve ever seen. It was every weird thing I wanted to see in the city, all in one! I can’t wait to come back and visit this place again!! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I saw one that left me compelled to. This place seems to celebrate people’s differences. And I would like to support that. So if you aren’t into diversity or self expression, maybe stay on bourbon street. This place is for the strange, not you.

Fantastic venue as both a patron and performer! Friendly staff, joyous atmosphere, and snazzy drinks! Burlesque Bingo is a smash hit!

My favorite hangout as a local. Small, cozy space with inclusive performances and everything you could ask for in a neighborhood queer bar.

Absolutely LOVE this venue! The vibe, the drinks, the SHOWS are so good—special shoutout to the Van Ella Bordella, and the New Orleans High Society hour 💙

Love this place. The absolute best venue in the NOLA area for burlesque and drag shows. The best people and the friendliest staff around. We always have so much fun here.

The Allways Lounge is an experience wholly unto itself. As the only bar with a Cabaret license you'll see performances here that simply can't happen quite like this anywhere else in the US. Highly recommend for anyone local or traveling, but if you're closed minded this place isn't for you.

The AllWays is a magically welcoming place with a heartbeat of art, passion and inclusiveness. You can tell how much love goes into it and the shows/events it presents. I feel lucky to get to see performance art and even perform on a regular basis. Thank you!

This place has the most amazingly talented people in the city. The venue gives all the freedom and opportunity to its performers to be the most they can be. Cheers to this place for actually caring about their performers throughout the 14 month shutdown. I garauntee that any bad reviews on here are from reviewers tha misbehaved, and got put in their place

The staff & performers at Allways are always top notch! There’s food next door, the bartenders don’t mind if you bring it in! Loved The Van Ella Bordella & Smoke Show Cabaret! Great times.

The Allways Lounge & Cabaret is a haven for the incredible local performers in our community. From breathtaking Burlesque and Drag performances to live music, comedy, and so much more, this place truly has it all. It is a cherished home for many talented individuals. The warm and accepting atmosphere, along with the strong support for the LGBTQ+ community, is something truly special. Trust me, you wouldn't want to miss shows like Van Ella Bordella, New Orleans High Society Hour, or a Vivacious Miss Audacious production, among many others. Whether you're on stage or in the audience, you'll feel right at home here. Without a doubt, New Orleans would not be the same without this extraordinary space.

I’ve been producing and attending shows at the Allways for over a decade! They foster a lovely community and provide space for some of the most talented performers and producers in New Orleans to make incredible, creative, entertaining, and very high quality work. Any night of the week you can find multiple performances happening on the cabaret stage in the front and the theater in the back, live music, burlesque, drag, theater, and often combinations of various forms. You could go there every night and see something completely different! And there’s often a pop up out front or on the back patio so you can have a delicious meal too. A true neighborhood gem. 💗

Saw the Van Ella Bordella here, and having seen many many burlesque shows in my life I can truly say this was one of the best! I look forward to seeing a lot of other entertainment at this lovely and inclusive venue. Thank you!

I've attended a couple of shows at The Allways Lounge, and I've performed in a few as well. I always have an amazing time there! The staff is friendly, and the performances are so much fun! I will return to this venue every time I visit New Orleans.

Thank you for providing a venue for unique and entertaining shows of all kinds. New Orleans is a beautiful and diverse city and needs to be represented by many types of beautiful and talented entertainers. We do not want the same stereotypical show over and over again. I have been coming to see shows here for years. Even long before I became a resident. I have especially enjoyed the FoxyRose Variety Show and Le Vampyre Cabaret. I work in the service industry and often have guests tell me that they are looking for a real New Orleans experience, and seeing a show at the Allways is very high on my list of recommendations. Please keep doing what you are doing!

We had an Absolute Blast at the Show! If you want an amazing and Risqué night out, this is definitely a hot spot to go, hands down!! And Pinky DeVille is brilliantly beautiful and entertaining!! ♥️

I really have enjoyed some of the shows here the little shop show in October was amazing! I highly recommend if you’re in town visiting

Always a good time! I've been to several of the shows regularly hosted here and have thoroughly enjoyed each of them! Shows like Feys Gone Wild, the Foxy Rose Variety Show, and The New Orleans High Society Hour are a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours laughing and lusting your night away!

I’m local, and love seeing shows here! Lovely staff, delicious food pop ups, and amazing variety of entertainment literally every night of the week. 10/10. 🤘🏻

Amazing staff, bartenders, and constantly growing and everchanging shows and casts. This truly is one of the most diverse venues I've been to and I keep going back to see the amazing music, variety shows, drag shows, and of course burlesque shows. If you're wanting an amazing time with a different wonderful experience each show & beautiful humans, you definitely want to go here.

SECRETS OF THE SEA shows are sooo much fun!! 🫶🏻🍹💋 The gals and I have been MANY times…sexy entertainers, surprising outbursts of laughter, audience participation, strong cocktails, and just amazing personalities and talent! 💕❤️💕❤️

The bar and bar staff were great, Very dissappointed with the FoxyRose Variety Show.i, The performers spent more time solicting tips, then earning them. Having seen other Burlesque shows, I expected attractive and talented performers to showcase their talent is a sexy and stylish show. The two female co-hosts were neither attractive or talented . We left after an hour, But I am sure we did not miss much. This was the only Burlesque show not sold out and in my opionion it does not sell out for a very good reason, It is not an entertaiining show. You are either being scolded about the rules or asked to give them money

I hate to write a bad review but feel the need to share our experience on Saturday November 4th. We brought my sister to New Orleans for her birthday and she really wanted to see a drag show, based on the online reviews and a 'drag show' being advertised at AllWays Lounge we decided to check it out. When we arrived shortly before 11PM we noticed a very small number of guests, we asked BEFORE paying the $25 cover if they were doing a 'drag show' at 11, we were told yes. The entertainment was actually a variety show with 2 burlesque performers, one very poorly qualified singer and 1 person dressed in a TeleTubby outfit which was supposed to be the drag portion. We tried to make the best of it but after spending $75 and paying $7 for each watered down drink we clearly felt ripped off. On Sunday we located a drag show at the Golden Lantern and could not have been more pleased, 0 cover and great $4 drinks. I hope our experience with AllWays is not common, in retrospect we should have made a stink with management while we were there, no one likes to feel ripped-off.

Genuinely lovely and sexy vibes - didn't eat there but drinks and entertainment were topnotch, would give more stars if available!

Went to see the Horror Movie Burlesque Show in the Twilight Room. Great show and fantastic atmosphere! Good drinks and venue staff as well.

Wonderful inclusive cabaret and lounge! I have been hear for a Burlesque show and a comedy show. It is so much fun and the interaction between the performers and audience is fantastic! Can't wait to go to another show! The bar has a good selection but wish there was another bar tender so the wait for drinks wasn't so long.

Wife and I passing through just kicking for the night. Host and narrator was really good at everything! We had a great time

This place was absolutely amazing! True theater, style, singing, and dancing. I would highly recommend this to any couple or friend group looking for something to do in New Orleans. So much talent presented in the stage and memories created throughout the show. Even offered some fun souvenirs for purchase. Such an amazing night and show

What an AMAZING EVENING! Went and watched the Van Ella Bordella Burlesque show with my Wife and all I can say is WOW WHAT A NIGHT! The show was a riot, the bartender was super cool and friendly, and the atmosphere was authentic ol'time New Orleans! As Arnold would say..."I'LL BE BACK!"

Amazing venue as always. Bette Tittler’s shows are amazing. Jaw on the floor type of entertainment! I’ll be back again and again to see Broadville Follies!

I can't really put my finger on why a 3. Definitely not a terrible place but it also wasn't a 5. My wife & I saw POC during the Infinity Hour. It was fun. Our bartender Trish, he was cool! I'd recommend it.

Burlesque to DuHast hast has been the highlight of my life

The show was amazing!! My friends and I had an awesome time and would go again!

We saw the Van Ella Bordella Burlesque show. It was thoroughly entertaining! My husband and I had so much fun! This show is fun, funny, and sensual. I highly recommend it! I hope I get the opportunity to see it again.

My girlfriend and I went to the Vampire Burlesque last night. We LOVED it. The music was incredible. The plot was hilarious. The two main characters were so funny. Everyone was extremely talented. The atmosphere was on point, and I love how inclusive the show was. I will definitely be coming back.

We went to see the VanElla Bordella and it was HILARIOUS. It was fun, sexy, engaging, and hilarious. Highly recommend. Bring lots of $1 bills- you’ll definitely want to throw them!

We’re locals and went to the LeVampier Cabaret, last Saturday night July 15. TOTAL WASTE OF $100.😡 It was supposed to be a burlesque cabaret. Sadly it was just 2 dudes and a lady insistently asking for tips. No story, no plot, not even funny. No musicians, just sad!😡 WE WONT RETURN, unless we verify that they actually have a real cast of musicians and talented performers.
