Comfortable place with a great vibe. Live band, crowd, bartender, and even the bathroom attendant were all great. Hurricane I had here was the best tasting I had while visiting New Orleans.We did not experience the overcharging mentioned in other reviews. In fact I liked how the bartender handled pricing. The music is so loud inside, the bartender rang up drinks on the register so I could see the amount before paying, which I always did with cash.If there is a negative on this place it would be the very loud music volume.
Great show !! But would still love to have Rober do Mustang Sally!!
Bartender forged a 100% tip on a $12 tab. This place needs to be and will be investigated.
Had a blast this weekend. Kept ending up back at this bar. So much fun shaking our booties. The band was amazing!Went again for Mardi Gras weekend. My wife and I would walk up and down Bourbon but always ended up back here dancing. The DJs were fun and the crowd was having a great time! The drinks are strong and the vibe does not disappoint!
Cool Band. Does not skimp on pour. had a great experience but they had only 3 tables in the whole place . Many customers came in and went back out because no seats . You can easily add more tables and stools and still maintain a respectable distance between them . You must really not like money huh ?
Great place to see live music. If you wanna go see a band up close and dance all night this is true place to go. Its a dark dive bar but the music is loud and the drinks are flowing. The shot girl walks around with test tube shots, she tends to be a little pushy but she is entertaining. Stop by and check it out.
Excellent time at Funky 544!! Great musicians, staff, and overall atmosphere. We will return!
This place is pretty nice. The music changes (this visit was Queen, Bon Jovi, and some other recognizable stuff) and the musicians always seem to encourage audience participation...singing along and such, not dancing in on the bar if thats not your thing! Ive been here on at least one other visit to New Orleans, and Im sure Ill be back.
Ive been to this place several times and there are a couple of good consistent trends. #1, the band is awesome they play old school, new school, R&B music and there is always a good vibe with them.#2 the bartenders are good they just get overwhelmed sometimes.#3 the bathrooms are relatively clean, which is a commodity on Bourbon Street. I wish they would do something different upstairs, appears to be a waste of space.
Love this place. Atmosphere is great. Ive been going to this place for yrs. Im a local and still love it. I would like to mention the quality of the shot girls have been going down. I went on 10/11/19 and got into an argument with the chick because she tried to sell me shots she wanted me to take. When I asked her what other shots she had she accused me of having an attitude and tried to have me thrown out! Hate to see this place lose long term customers over temporary workers
Horrible place. They are theives. This place is disgusting. A girl shoves shots down a persons throat my entire family was so scared!nd demands 70+ dollars for something that wasnt even ordered! I will contact my bank and maybe my attorney! Do not go to this bar they will chase you down and force you to buy anything they want like its a robbery!
Very irritated. Went and had 2 drinks with friends. Paid and left, all of a sudden my wallet was missing from my purse. Went back in After walking across the street and realizing I just paid, put my wallet away and now it was gone and no one knew of anything. 30 min later a charge of over 100$ took place and a declined charge occurred after at Walgreens. 100$ charge took place before I put a hold on my cards. When we called we were informed yes someone had my card and they had it on footage and to hold. They hung up. We called again and they told us to wait and hung up. Sketchy, staff was quick to say yea my card was used by someone else but hung up the phone anytime a question on the Situation arrose… another 30 min goes past another charge over 100$ declined at a Walgreens nearby. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO NOT COME TO THIS BAR!!!! No help when they agreed illegal actions took place. Law enforcement has been notified and given all information as well as documentations.
Great place for live blues! Black Diamond was AMAZING! The shot girls were annoying! However, I dont think they were specifically for this club. I noticed them coming in and out of several clubs. One of them came to me trying to get me to take 2 shots she had put in her mouth. I was drunk but I wasnt that drunk. I did have to give 5 stars for the music though!
The bartenders and bouncers were nice. And The band changes so this is only my experience one night, but man was the band cringey. Watching 50 year old men make jokes about Justin Bieber being gay is incredibly pathetic. They had the sense of humour of 14 year old boys from 2012.
Bartender added $10 extra tip for two beers I bought above my signature. Im reporting them for fraud, but skip this place.
Very fun night. Stage performer is incredible and engages the crowd. The staff makes the whole experience very memorable.
The bouncer’s tried to steal my knife that I told them to hold onto. They really tried to play stupid when they passed around my property thinking I won’t notice.The bartenders are crooks that force overpriced shots into your mouth and then expect you to pay for them.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! NASTY waitress forced us to do shots and started twerking on us with her disgusting jiggly fat a**. Then she chased us outside demanding $48 for 2 shots!
Best music on Bourbon Street. Listened on Friday and then came back Saturday. I was so impressed with the band. I also found the bartenders and the people who worked there very friendly and kind.
The warnings about the Shot Girls are fairly true, but they are rather nice.The music and the vibe are great. My favorite non-jazz spot on Bourbon St.
I had the best time ever, havent been out in years. if not for having to go home the next day I would have stayed there all night. The band was amazing!!!!
The BEST club with the BEST music! We had so much fun! And it was right across from our hotel (Four Points by Sheraton) you can literally walk across there.
The girl with the shots made my night since I had a bad experience at barley legal
Their drinks taste really good, i had the hurricane and they have a nice dance atmosphere. The live band sounds great!
Funky Club 544 is THE best bar / club on Bourbon Street. The Jagwah Band featuring BRW is the best band / group I have ever heard, very polished and not to mention the drummer...... OMG I LOVE this place. I will be back again and again and again.
Im Chicago!! This joint here has th best vibe!! Live music vibe!!! Dj and my boy on stage vibe!! Best joint on bourbon street!!!
Best bands on Bourbon! Not fancy, but what talented musicians and singers. My favorite place to go in Nola💓
Avoid this place, it was empty for a reason, that should have been our sign not to go in. Downstairs bartender was rude right from the moment we approached and then overcharged us for drinks. Bad vibes all around.
First time in N.O club was right across the street from my hotel they have live music and great drinks the band was good. I had a great time.
I love that club I always enjoy myself when I go there
The bar tender Dawn was amazing! The drinks were amazing and the band was great! I’ll be back! 💜
They had water leak on the dancefloor. And people slipped. They were aggressive when it came to paying overpriced drinks. Overall wasnt that great
One of the best clubs in New Orleans great friendly people and security guards keeps things safe and the live entertainment is second to none
Loved the place and loved the band, Mojo Shakers! Great margaritas and hurricanes!
Always has a great band, drinks are average so stop off and grab a hand grenade on your way there.
Love this place, good people, awesome band and one of my stops when I visit New Orleans!!
Always a great band playing. I stop here everytime I come to town.
Music was soooo good. Best we heard in NO
Best Place to Dance on Bourbon Street! The Band is Something Else! :)
$18.75 for one drink, bartender was on drugs and jumped on the bar threatening us. Go anywhere but here lol its a joke
Great impromptu fun w/Live Music - the band was rockin on Sunday afternoon 🎶🎶

My friend’s phone was stolen when we were dancing just an hour ago
Great venue with live music (for free)
The quality of the band was second to none. Super impressed.
Great place to have a great time. Funky music!
Sneaky b*tches! They literally trap you and pour shots down your throat and expect you to pay for it.
Worst place ever. To many great places on bourbon street to waste your time here.
Had the Best time. Music is fantastic
Nothing particularly unique or special about this place but I suppose its a mainstay in the sea of bars on Bourbon.
70s R& B funk bar
Will go back. The band, Full Throttle is the TRUTH!!!
Music was OK. Didn’t get to keep us for much long.

Cool place
Great music
I walked the streets of New Orleans a lot, but by far the best jazz band I found at Funky 544. I saw that band a total of 3 nights in a row and at no time did they lose their energy, fun, and not to mention the good vibes they had with the public.
