Came here for a retirement party. It was fantastic. The staff were friendly and fun. One of the food servers was so friendly and funny and just having a good time. Will the bartender did a wonderful job making fantastic drinks. I definitely will be coming back

I have to say after reading some of the reviews I wasnt sure what to expect. I was happy to find that Republic NOLA was a really cool, interesting and comfortable place. This was my first time here to see The Hu. I brought my sons for my youngest 21st birthday!!! And it was a success!! He thoroughly enjoyed the concert and the venue. I happy to say I wasnt the oldest there!!! Republic NOLA really has industrial feel in its decor!! The employees were friendly and helpful. Thanks to Jacob for helping an old girl out to make sure the evening went well for my son!!There is only 1 thing that should be addressed and its the VIP area. I have no problem with the price if it allowed everyone an opportunity to be able to see the performance. Basically its a General Admittance for the balcony. I had hoped by paying for VIP it meant a better chance of seeing the performance...not only easier bar and bathroom access.

Had a great time, we got to be back up dancers for Vanilla Ice , during a private show at the Republic. Stage crew was a little short so we helped out. It was a blast being on stage with Vanilla ice. Me and my crew did a good job firing up the crowd and dancing with the audience. The venue was smaller than i thought, but it looked packed from the stage, thanks for everything, the best part was hanging out back stage with the Ice Man

Bass Church at Arora Nola was great! The sound system was great and the DJs turned the place out. Only complaint was excessive use of fog machine. Though the venue is no smoking, we were constantly having to go outside and gulp down fresh air

One of the first clubs I went to in New Orleans about 7 years ago. I went recently (before the shooting) and they were lacking a lot. The first obviously being security, theyre very inattentive and all seemed to be pretty inebriated. Secondly, the sound quality was terrible. I dont know if they even have someone operating the sound booth, but if so, their sound person is even more messed up than the security, 0/10 on sound, I dont know why they wouldnt be able to afford that. Last thing would be drinks, in no world should a High Life be $4.50. Republic seems really poorly managed and like the ownership doesnt know how to make money or manage finances. Very odd.

Republic lost my credit card. Called them 5x explaining that I left my tab open. I called my bank and there was no charge on it so clearly they didn’t swipe it. All they said was “we close out all cards even the ones left behind. We don’t have yours.” Okay. So what? Capital One Bank is lying to me about my charges? At least they didn’t run it and then lose it. Guess we’re even, Republic. I owe you $50 and you owe me my credit card back. Also everyone in the office is rude. My advice to anyone who goes is to never leave your tab open. One of their bartenders will accidentally lose it and then you’ll be forced the spend your whole day trying to explain how bank statements work to the people in the office.

Republic is typical large New Orleans dance club. Right downtown near everything. Venue is spacious and has first floor and second VIP floor. View is much better on the first floor. Enough bars to keep you lit. If you are local or a guest in our city you will enjoy.

Not a bad venue at all. I’ve been here for a concert and Shrek Rave. Both experiences were similar; overwhelmed bartenders but the service wasn’t too bad. Nice guys at the door, but the ladies were pretty rude; sometimes the price you pay when you’re fabulous. The bathrooms were clean too, allIn all I’d come again.

The crowd had great energy! I wasnt aware that it would be standing room only but the atmosphere made it worthwhile. Good experience while visiting for my birthday from Detroit. Love the Nawlins vibe!

When we came to New Orleans we were expecting a party like this. Of course, Bourbon st was fine, it had the endless entertainment vibe and all.But nevertheless felt like a touristic attraction, instead the republic had this everyone does their own thing sense. So yeah, the sound was incredibly good, the music was intense, and the drinks were good too. Thank you Republic.

Went there last night for the first time to see Jorja Smith. Had such a great time! Security was so nice. I use a wheelchair so they brought me to the front of the line so I could get a good spot inside. And even checked on me while I was in there throughout the night.

Attended for Essence After Dark. Standing room with a few VIP tables. Supposed to start letting people in at 10pm. Didnt get in until almost 11pm. I assumed artist didnt show until almost 12am. At least thats when I saw Spice walk in. Very long night for standing and very crowded. Yes, they started at 11:59 PM. Tickets were $81 with fee. Venue was nice setup and clean bathrooms. Just was not into the long stand or wait. Glad I didnt pay for VIP because they were seated behind the standing crowd.

This place will run false entries on your tab and refuse a refund. The staff at this place is beyond incompetent. On an extremely low turnout night (maybe 20 people near the bar and 50 in the building) I opened a tab with the upstairs bartender who was serving maybe 6 ppl the entire night. I tried to close my tab and was charged for several drinks I did not order. Of course by the time I am presented a reciept my card had already been charged. After the bartender acknowledged the error, it took 20 minutes before a manager came to the resolution to have me just dispute the charge with my bank rather than issue a cash refund. This is fraud. Save yourself the time, effort, and theft and avoid doing business here.

NOLAS premiere venue/bar to catch the best DJs and rappers. The scene actually cafes about its artists.

Review №24

Venue is beautiful and we had lots of fun. However, I can’t get over how when I asked for my bill at the end how expensive it was. When I asked for the itemized receipt, it turns out they included a 20% gratuity that wasn’t shown on the original receipt they were going to have me sign. Just be aware that they already include tip in the receipt without telling you. I always tip 20% but it feels like a scam not to tell you that it’s already included on receipt.

Review №27

They need a special entrance for guest list and promotional tickets. A 250ft line is excessive for an adult. The general admission kids expect to wait but friend and family of the band should be allowed in a bit early. Staff does a good job of managing large crowds. Plenty of space downstairs and in VIP. The bars are very well staffed, barely wait for a drink. Good venue for watching smaller bands and DJs. Also a great spot for shooting music videos.

Review №28

The bouncers at this place need to be investigated ASAP. Witnessed multiple women being verbally and physically assaulted once a show ended, and threatened myself and many others that everyone needed to get the hell out. I’ve never experienced this before at any club or venue, it was not exclusive to one bouncer or patron. There was no fighting or rowdiness, as this was at a Beabadoobie concert on 10/22. (listen to one song and picture a problematic crowd situation at a venue.)I’ve been to Republic many times in the past, but it has been at least 4 years since being here for an event. I want to be clear that I understand the business behind running a venue like this, and the need for assertiveness from bouncers when dealing with large amounts of people. I am not exaggerating when I say that they made many people fearful for their safety, and it’s almost like they got off on the power trip. When a 5’1 girl is shoved to the ground because she’s not moving to the exit quick enough, that’s a sign for the management to wake the hell up and change something in their bouncer staff.On a positive note, the silver lining is that all of the other staff were great, and both helpful and friendly (ticketing, bartenders, VIP staff, etc.) so there is hope for the way this venue could be ran.But matter how much you may like an artist, it is sadly not worth it if they’re playing here. Avoid at all costs.

The overall facility is very nice, great place for live music. Only problem was they overcharged on a bar bill. It was a bit of a hassle to get our money back. Most likely an innocent error but thought I would mention here in case others have experienced the same.

Doors open at 10pm but at 11 we were still waiting to get in. I thought staff was disorganised and didn’t really care that the patrons were standing outside in the heat next to all the trash cans. It was awful, smelly and hot. We ended up leaving before we could go in.

Refuses speak to me because my wedding isnt until 2025. Called for over two weeks trying to get in contact with Jessica or whoever is in charge of events; and then I was told from her assistant that she wont talk to me because my event/wedding isnt till then. Horrible customer service. All I was inquiring about was general pricing. How dare they treat someone like that.

Review №33

This place is a great club located in the warehouse district. I went there for a private event-- my sons engagement party. The bartenders were knowledgeable and knew exactly what they were doing. They made some mean drinks. The food was outstanding. The setup for the party was breathtaking. The dance floor is huge with plenty of space for everyone. All the staff were on point with their service and their attitudes. I would give then 10 stars if there was a way to do so.

Review №34

Nice when they aren’t over selling tickets. They need to replace their sound system. Very distorted. Not terrible when they’re at about 50% capacity. They will say an event is sold out online but sell as many tickets as they can at the door. When it’s full, it’s over full. Then the sound quality is sooooo drowned out you can’t hear anything. It’s very sad because this is one of the only places in the area that books electronic music and every time they book a major dj, the sound sucks 😒. Would easily change this review if the sound quality issue was corrected.

Review №35

An amazing venue that has been around for years! Showcasing some of the biggest and best talents from far away and locally. We went recently to see Beabadoobee and were also introduced to a great opening act named Lowrtown. There are two levels, with intimate access on the ground level, and great overhead views for unique shots. They also have more than one exit which my friend reminded me is always good to consider and know. Ive gone a few times now and thankfully the staff and crew always work to keep things safe, which can be hard for the rave days Im sure. But the artist are always very eclectic going from edm, to rap, to alternative, to whimsical all in the span of a few days. Definitely a recommendation for a popular local place.

Have been to the republic numerous time amd have had a great time. Went to a show on 2/25/23 and opened a tab for some drinks and forgot to get my card back. Check my email and bank account next day and $500 in Ulta beauty card was purchased off my card. Seeing as the bartender were the ones holding my card one could only assume a bartender stole money from my card. This was the bar on the bottle left when you walk into the venue. Republic needs to evaluate their staff and find out who is stealing from customers cause this isnt probably the only incident.

I had never heard of Republic NOLA until recently when I attended a Christmas Party here. The space is really cute and a decent size, not large but not too small either. I spent most of my time in the balcony area and appreciated the view a lot more than on the first floor. It was spacious and there was a dedicated bar upstairs as well. I tried one of their Christmas themed drinks and unfortunately was not a fan of it. The music was a mixture of a band and a DJ. The DJ was okay, but I felt the music could have been slightly better. Overall, I think Republic NOLA would be a great choice for an event.

WOW.... thought I would review this place after the Tab Benoit and Samantha Fish show Saturday the 27th of April....Great place to see a show!! Our venue was standing room only but we got there around 7pm grabbed a drink from the bar next door and went to stand in line. We were around 20 deep at that time. Once we were allowed in we took a spot on the railing on the second floor. Great vantage point and there is a bar 20 feet behind ya.....they did have vip seats off to the sides but in my opinion they are not worth it.....great show And thanks to the management for helping me find a parking spot for the bike!!! Will definitely visit again!!

Review №49

I love EDM and expected great things from this venue considering Alison Wonderland would be playing at it, but I had nothing but a horrible experience coming here.After waiting in a long line, they let us in, but forgot to give me and my friend the show wristband (they gave us a green one which was apparently for being 21, but never explained the difference either). We asked a worker, and they said we could re-enter if we had already been in, so we went outside to smoke. The guards wouldnt let us back in right away though, because we apparently didnt have the show wristband that THEY FORGOT TO GIVE US. Despite offering to show them our QR codes and explaining how it was their mistake, they made us go to the VERY BACK of the line, which ended up wasting an hour of our time. We missed Shygirls set waiting to be let back in, which was very frustrating because we really wanted to see her.After getting back in, it was packed as it was clearly oversold. Im talking not even enough room to dance. I did end up getting close to Alison after a while, but it took carefully-planned shimmying for 30 minutes to do so.Oh, and the craziest thing about this venue? You literally have to pay for the privilege to sit down. There are no chairs at any of the downstairs bars or outer areas of the inside of the venue, because apparently $50 doesnt cover the LUXURY OF SITTING. People that tried to sit on the floor by the walls were forced to stand, despite having partied all day at a festival, and with the event at Republic NOLA lasting until 5 AM. So if you needed a break after dancing for a few hours at a Republic NOLA event, youd have nowhere to sit and catch your breath. This really surprised me as a raver, because literally any other EDM event Ive ever been to has had at least SOMEWHERE to sit. And Ive been to clubs in multiple cities of all sizes. Im talking huge arenas and festivals as well as average nightclubs to even underground events. Like youd think theyd want to shield themselves from lawsuits of people overheating or passing out from exhaustion, etc. but apparently not. Republic NOLA is the only place thats ever had the audacity to charge VIP for the luxury of sitting. Which is funny considering how disappointing of a venue it is.Like theres no cool lasers, or high-tech visual screens youd expect from a place hosting a premier EDM event. Nothing cool on the walls to stare at while raving, nothing to bring the vibe together. Maybe Im spoiled here in Atlanta, because even the most bare-bones Raves surpass the set-up exhibited here. But wow. It honestly impressed me with how little the venue seemed to care about the event it was hosting. No effort put in whatsoever. Im glad I got to see Alison, cause she did her thing. But this venue did not. If I could give them 0 stars I would, they were the only negative experience I had in New Orleans while visiting, and thats saying something because I stayed in New Orleans East during my trip. New Orleans is an amazing city and doesnt deserve the shame of hosting such a terrible venue

Great venue, setup, dj’s, etc..EXCEPT: the sound system is definitely fried. Either the speakers were being overdriven or were blown at some point, but definitely really hurt the experience for us. I hope they fix it soon because we’d love to come back and see more artists.

I really love the place, and I remember when it was under a different name and management. For normal nights Im sure its fine for very young people who like to wait in a stantioned line as though they are at an exclusive night club...And they may very well be at one. I dont know because I dont like those kinds of places. But dont let that deter you from attending a private event or anything else here. It is beautiful inside, reminiscent of Tips Uptown.

Review №53

Reviewing as a wedding venue:I don’t even know where to start - Jessica and the team at Republic were amazing!! We had our ceremony upstairs, with the reception downstairs - along with a Second Line. Jessica + team helped everything run super smooth. The venue is such a departure from a standard wedding venue, which is exactly what we were looking for!We were planning our wedding from California - so we weren’t able to meet the team or see the venue before booking (which is very nerve-wracking, but it completely worked out). We opted for the candle package (highly, highly recommend) and the string light package. From last minute changes (adding pedicabs for some people during the Second Line, the day of…) to all of the early planning, it was all taken care of with a smile! We had Jessica help secure the Second Line band (including police escort, permitting, etc), photobooth, catering, linens and decorations. We couldn’t be happier with the way everything looked and the day of flowed.One thing to note, the special events team is in charge of many, many things that take place at Republic - each event is a priority to them - so as the time gets closer to your event, the communication will increase.All of our friends and family made it a point to let us know that the venue was beautiful and what a fun wedding it was! Cannot recommend this venue and team behind it, enough!

Always something going on here! Very diverse programming from emo, gay, techno, hip hop...find your night!! The staff is always super friendly and the drink prices are decent.

Highly recommend Republic NOLA for your corporate event needs. Jessica and her staff are exceptional! They brought me fresh ideas and the partners needed to completely transform the space.

This venue sucks the layout they have make it very hard to see if youre not in the front. Also it looks like they over sell the place so its so crowded you cant even move. The majority of people that come here are young kids that just want to push you and block you if you want to move up front. Drinks were thrown all over and kids want to start fights. I will never come here again and I would definitely not recommend it.

They over charge for drinks because they assume no one checks the bill. 3 beers and charged the card 60$ and I complained... the women next to me was screaming about the same thing. found out this morning they charged my dads friend 150 for 4 gin and tonics. This is fraud and I will be compiling to the FTC.

The place itself is beautiful and the employees are great, but... I was there for a concert last night and I couldnt find any open space to see the performers! The Republic is basically a standing room only venue and had we known this ahead of time then we probably wouldnt have even went. There were several open Private Party set aside for those who could afford a $500 upgrade that never had anyone sitting at them. I would have thought that after the concert started and no one had paid for them that they would open them up for more viewing possibilities for those of us who didnt get to be at the railing upstairs, but they kept it closed off. There were several other patrons who had worse issues than I did. Im able to stand for long periods of time and I was able to move closer and snap a few pictures (not good ones though) but I had to bother others just for those opportunities. Others werent that lucky. I wont be going back there again for a performance but if you choose to go be prepared not to be able to see the show

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. I recently went to the Rae Sremmurd concert. Doors were to open at 11:00 pm but we waited in line for 2 HOURS! not to mention we had VIP Balcony tickets. This place was so unorganized. How is it that I get VIP tickets and have such a bad view. I would have rather bought general admission tickets and been done with it. It took us 2 hours to get into the concert and almost an hour to get out. 1,000 people fighting to get out of the one tiny door! Ridiculous. I would have left if I hadnt traveled so far to attend, The performers were great but I will never attend anything at this venue again. Please do not waste your time going here.

Me and a few friends went to see Seven Lions in concert here and it was really fun! The before and after show was so amazing. I don’t really follow many EDM artists, but this experience made me want to start searching lol. Most of the bartenders were super nice. Unfortunately, I did try to get the attention of a lady who was behind the bar, but she wasn’t happy with the fact that I was in search of water instead of an overpriced cocktail. After calling her from the front of the bar multiple times, while witnessing her make drinks, I touched her hand to get her attention and she yelled, “I’m not a bar tender.” Which was confusing, but hey! Maybe she’s only a bar tender if the drinks she makes are labelled “tip me”. On the bright side, the rest of the staff members were extremely nice and helped me find my lost friend 52 times without a single complaint. 100% looking forward to the next show.

Location was beautiful! I dont know of it is because i am getting old, but i would have sold my left leg for a seat. I stood in line outside for an hour, then stood inside for an hour before the show started, than stood for 3 more hours for the show. The main show was great!!! The DJ who played for an hour before the Emo Nite DJ came on was not good. We were there to get ready for emo show, but he was playing a bunch of rap or something (???) It felt like he did not know his crowd.The bars looked clean and the staff was nice and professional the whole time. I thought it was funny when the security looking guys stood around the stage and looked as if there wasnt a show going on at all, they were so calm and peaceful.

Review №72

Very disappointed with this venue. I dont think I will be returning. I bought balcony VIP tickets, which the only perk was not waiting in the line to get in. I was unaware that there would be a VIP within a VIP section. There are are no chairs in the VIP section unless you are willing to pay $400+ for the exclusive booth seating. If you do not arrive early, you will not be able to to see the artist down below. The VIP section is designed for 20 people to view the show. The floors are also hard and sticky. Be prepared to stand cramped for a few hours while you stare at the back of someones head.And honestly, the VIP sections arent much better. I heard one of the guys in VIP become irate and exclaim that he couldnt see s***! Its a bad angle, especially from the left side of the VIP section facing the stage.Terrible design and waaaaay smaller than the online pictures would have you to believe. I wish I could rate 0 stars.

Review №75

Clean establishment and staff was very nice despite their lack of knowledge. Went for a concert and was very disappointed. Opening act of high schoolers played for what seemed like three hours. When the main performer finally came on it was 1a when the doors opened at 7p and show started at 8p. I would have been fine with the main performance starting at 1a, had I known when I showed up that it was going to start then. On the tickets it listed no other acts so I assumed he would be on within two hours of door opening. To add the cherry on top, the performer pretty much was his own hype man. I know that the Republic can’t control the quality of bands, but you could let your clientele know when the main opener will be coming on.

Review №79

You can only consume drinks at the bar so those of us who are underage is impossible to get drinks from other people. Make sure you pre game before entering. Other than that, its great because theres re-entry. The venue is not great, though. The music is not very diverse. Its only local artists, trap and bounce music. I want to see house music; good house music. A house DJ should be there every weekend when there isnt a good artist. Thats a change that would attract a lot of people I think because sometimes the place is rather empty.

I was there for the Raw art show, and when it was time for me to leave I closed out my bar tab, when I was handed the receipt I was given a different bank card but the correct receipt with my name on it. However when I got home I find that I was charged 3x more than what was originally on my bar tab. Its a little frustrating seeing as I had 3 beers and there really wasnt a lot of people using the upstairs bar and somehow I paid for someone elses drinks, I brought this up to the bartender when it happened and was assured that it was taken care of immediately. However it wasnt, now I get the joy of calling them the next day to explain to them they screwed up. Anyways the place is ok and the bar staff was very polite considering circumstances. Great place for the hipster crowd.

Venue was kept relatively cool, no major violence or unruly messy bs, security wasnt over the top, VIP was comfortable with excellent service and the night was very pleasant, sound quality was also excellent

Went to see Betty Who last night. Had a great view even though we were further towards the back. I was sooo excited that a cup of water was free. Other venues are so rude about it. Im sure Ill be back

If youre here for the music, the sound is great. On the downside, the drinks were pricey, and the bartenders were rude. The floor is concrete, and theres no where to sit, so a couple of hours in, and my feet were killing me.

Review №87

Horrible place to try and see a show. If your not right up against stage or upper rail you can not see the artist. Terrible video screens try and show the acts. Venue should at least have better quality cameras and screens for patrons that can not afford to buy VIP sections that they so selfishly promote.

As the sponsors of the Collision Night Summit, we (Kradle Software) had the absolute pleasure of hosting our event at Republic NOLA. Jess and her team were instrumental in making it a huge success and we are all very grateful. The venue is simply gorgeous and the recommendation of the band New Thousand was epically good!

Worst music venue ever. paid full price for a concert ticket. Watched the bouncers physically assault patrons and not let people in. Did not feel safe and left.

Saw so many awesome shows here. Its great for intimate shows due to it being a smaller space. You have a good view of the stage no matter where you are standing.

Great ambiance, great staff. They know music and make great experiences. Get there early for big shows, only bad spots in the house are behind the wooden beams, and you can get stuck behind them if you get there late.

Im from Ms , so I drove an hour to the venue last night to see 8 ball and MJG with pre purchased tickets. The doors opened at 10:30 we were in line around 10:40 , there were two huge lines on either side with the entrance in the middle , they were letting 5 people in at a time. There werent any security guards outside to control the line or to even assist the LARGE crowd to form a line , people would just walk up and jump in the line , people began yelling and pushing and the people at the door began arguing with people in the crowd ,they closed the entrance doors to the club several times in hopes that the crowd would form a line, often threatened to cancel the show ,we stood there for an hour and a half then finally left ,in that time the line never moved , the venue is very unorganized, unprofessional, and I would never go back I really feared for my life because they did not have the crowd under control and I would like a refund for the tickets I did not use very disappointing

Pay to sit down anywhere! Especially when I pay extra for V.I.P and you still want extra to have a seat? Ridiculous.2 years ago it was great....now, Its jus b.s. No one respects this establishments management and your reputation in the community has become a joke. The only reason anyone puts up with this and your shyt attitude bartenders is the headliners.

Bought 2 VIP balcony tickets to the Rae Sremmurd show last night. Got in line at 10:20 because doors were supposed to open at 11. Didnt get inside till 1 am and missed most ofthe show because they let 500 people skip the line. Venue should never be book again by any promoter with dignity.

Review №104

Came in town from Memphis to see 12th planet. I was having an amazing time here until I realized I dropped my wallet somewhere . A girl saw that I was looking for it and told me she turned it in to the vip bouncer and everything was in it. Thankful she did the right thing by giving it to your staff I instantly went and asked the vip bouncer if he had it... This guy told me the first time he gave it to the one of the servers and told me to wait till later to get it. I said okay.., but then I wanted to buy a drink so I went and asked him to get it for me now . Then he made another excuse saying he left it on bar... WHO THE HELL JUST LEAVES A WALLET ON THE BAR!!! Then I tried to look around the bar he said he left it then magically he found it NEXT TO HIM UNDER THE STAIRS. Then I opened It and $200 was missing out of it. Basically that’s when I knew the bouncer stole my money cause why was it such a struggle to get it back from him. I had no money to get back home and I’ve never cried so much in my life cause of this guy. He is a white guy with gauges in his ears and skinny. I hope this guy gets fired cause I’ve never felt so hurt in my life. I’ve never gotten anything stolen from me especially from someone who works at a club.

Sirvice is sub par, table services are an atrocity, poor communication within staff led us to have major delays in the delivery of our bottles and mixer... also the club seems to have an identity issue, it cant distinguishe what its playing the night of events... they draw a crowd for one type of music and play another
