Fritzel's European Jazz Pub

Fritzel’s European Jazz Pub calls itself the home of New Orleans traditional jazz and offers a casual and intimate space for enjoying the music that put NOLA on the map. It’s located in a historic building dating to the 19th century and has become known as the space to catch traditional New Orleans jazz.

From its great menu of food to craft cocktails, there’s a lot to enjoy here. If you get lucky, you might even catch a surprise when a major name in jazz just happens to stop by to catch a show or even hop up on stage for an impromptu performance.

History and Highlights of Fritzel’s European Jazz Pub

Fritzel’s European Jazz Club is situated in a building dating to 1831 and exudes history in its atmosphere alone, but it was founded in 1969 by Gunter “Dutch” Seutter and has been a staple ever since. It may be roughshod with bench seating and a classic dive-bar feel, but that’s a big part of its charm.

Don’t be fooled by the old-school, dishevelled appearance. This is a sophisticated home of jazz on Bourbon Street. They serve up local Abita ale, spirits, and a few craft cocktails, and everything except the jazz takes a back-to-basics, no-nonsense approach.

Nice to Understand When Visiting Fritzel’s European Jazz Pub

Keep some cash on hand when you come here, as depending on the night and which artists are performing, there may be a small cover charge to get in. It is a bar, so it isn’t family-friendly but those at least age 18 can enter so long as they are accompanied by a parent.

If you want a real old-school experience, upstairs there is a speakeasy called Potions that is operated separately. You’ll need to obtain a password from a local Voodoo shop to get up there, and upon delivery of the password, the Fritzel’s hostess will let you up.
