Club Bourbon Heat

What a fun club to go to while our group was at Mardi Gras! A promoter came out and let our large group in for free! I like that the upstairs is the club and the downstairs is the seating area, which gave us time to relax from dancing. The club is very upbeat with techno and hip-​hop, as well as great lights to go with the beat. It is definitely very spacious so space wasn’t a problem especially during Mardi Gras. Also, the cover to get back in was $ 5, which isn’t that bad at all.

I came across this establishment because a group of us was looking to come
In jere but we detour from here but a friend came in here and paid $ 10. I asked the bouncers if I could come in and looked for my friend go home
& they said No & then threatened me
To say «even if u have $ 10 u still can’t get in because this a million dollar establishment.» Yet, in my mind because we are all pretty drunk on mardi gras I don’t want my friend to be taken advantage of. If she is upon this club, i will take this club full advantage. I remember your bouncer. 1 is a white man with reddish full beard white
Skin about 5’10 &
The other is middle eastern fair skin 5’5 no beard brown eyes asshole mentality & worried about the establishment. Which is all good. But ask me with a line up, i can pick u out! I am very upset because
I will not pay $ 10 to find my friend to take her out so we can go home & then say i would have to pay more. So what that say. Fuck your club, as a first time esperience i won’t
Come
Back and i won’t spend my money here.

Bartenders were HORRIBLE! Cheated you on the liquor!!! Front bar charged one price and the back bar charged a different price for the same shot! Prices varied from bartender to bartender! Bartenders were rude!!! Don’t waste your money on liquor at this establishment!!!

Our favorite bar in New Orleans! Great décor, vibe, music, crowd and drinks! We will definitely return! We had the most fun mostly because of the live music. Perfect in every way!

Had a blast in VIP Music was good and our host made sure we had fun Security was great too

At this point during my NOLA NYE trip, I only remembered a few things from this club. The DJs played more electronic mixed with hip hop and that made this experience enjoyable.
There always is a line to get in but we never waited long. There are two stories. The second story is more lively and kicking. The DJ accepted requests so I requested Drake’s Hot Line Bling, and he literally shook his head no!

Francis was awesome! Ask for him :). Great Palomas and bloodys! We’ll definitely be back! Thank y’all!

Came in here on Mardi Gras afternoon and danced a bit and enjoyed the heated patio. The DJ was pretty funny and she was rocking the house and even had an old lady come up on stage and flash her tata’s several times. That lady was either really drunk or just a cool cat who didn’t care. LOL The drinks were good and they had a decent size dance floor, which was absolutely packed for an afternoon. But it was a nice place to get out of the rain and use the facilities and get a few drinks. One of the bars outside even sold 10 shots of Cinnamon Shots for $ 5, needless to say that got the afternoon started off right and got us motivated to go back to the hotel to get our costumes on. Nice place to stop in on and I hear the food is great too.

I liked Bourbon Heat.
Has a little something for everyone.
Like previous reviews stated, it’s a 3-​in-​1 bar.
You have the downstairs, which consists of the front bar, really cool and fashinable. A lot of delicious elixers to choose from and decorated nicely.
In the back, you have a large spacious patio with another small bar and restrooms. During the winter-​time, they have heaters all over the patio, which really makes it nice when it’s cold. We came here twice, just because they had heaters and no one else did on Bourbon. They also have food to order in the back patio.
Walking upstairs, it’s divided into two parts.
1) Huge dance floor with a bar and a DJ spinning the latest Pop music and Hip-​Hop/​Rap music. Perfect place to dance and make romance.
2) Outside they have a large balcony which is perfect for people watching. During Mardi-​Gras season, it’s even more fun, watching the various parades (crewes) coming down the street.

I’ve been to this place a few times. It’s not terrible and it’s definitely one of the better bars on Bourbon, although that isn’t saying much. I do like the fact that they have a nice patio area, but I found the upstairs really tight and cramped for what they are trying to achieve. The area isn’t really big enough for a huge bar, dance floor and separate VIP area. It takes forever to get a drink and the space is really small for the super loud music that they play.
If I were to go back, I would definitely just hang out downstairs.

Fun, loud joint, with a *real* dance floor! By far the largest dance floor I saw in New Orleans. Don’t try to ask for wine… this is a beer and cocktails joint. =) Very limited seating. The band started at 7.

This is one of the few actual clubs on Bourbon street every thing seems to be more bars than anything else.
My friends & I were here this past wknd for the memorial wknd, we came here on two separate occasions.
The first night we went straight upstairs, cool place nice going w the lights not very big but that’s cool… not a lot of places around the area seem to be.
Drinks r decent prices, people r all over the place dancing & having a good time, we did as well only thing is that the music kinda sucked ?? I was disappointed the DJ was terrible the music was all over the place it was just not flowing right !!
I mean the guy that walks around w the mic was more entertaining he was rhyming along w the beats & was better than listing to the DJ !!
On our second night, we decide to have drinks at the bar below first… crazy ass special 3 for 1 holy crap, many places seem to have this but we didn’t even realized they did oh well… needles to say it was a long night lol
We headed upstairs to dance, the music unfortunately was the same… I just don’t get it? it’s a decent place but the music & the DJ are all over the place so not cool & hard to enjoy but we just pushed that aside & had a good time.
I must say of all the places on Bourbon street this one had a lot of eye candy as far as the staff goes… definately a lot of good looking guys.
We certainly enjoyed our selves’s dancing, drinking & watching all the drunken idiots make fools of themselves along w all the girls doing nothing more than shaking their ass to everything… pretty funny & quite the entertainment.
I got to walk outside & check out the balcony, kinda cool to just stand there or a few & check out the crowd passing by.
This place was fun if u can ignore the bad music since in between they do play a few good songs the place would be so much better if they had a better DJ that played better music constantly as supposed to every so often.

This is a three-​part watering hole. If you’re in a sizable group, looking to please everyone, 711 Bourbon Street is a great spot for the night — or at least part of it.
Downstairs: It’s the first part of the trio. Get IDed, and walk into a tiny, narrow bar that’s brightly lit and with plenty of TVs and bar stools. Jam out to the music and watch all the party freaks walk through the door. There’s a sign advertising the 3-​for-​1 special (certain brands only. On this particular night it was Stoli and Captain Morgan).
Upstairs: it’s more of a club-​like experience. Apparently there’s bottle service, a small dance floor area, an even smaller stage with a resident emcee with a slight behavior resemblance to The Situation … and a really rude bartender. i didn’t get his name, but he had an issue with my recently expired ID, even though I had already been carded downstairs. Prepared for such a sitch, I showed him my birth certificate. «It says your occupation is housewife,» he sassily says to me. Uhhhh, «that’s my mom’s occupation. If it were my occupation at the time, it’d say ‘baby.» For the rest of the night, we were ignored, yet he had no hesitation serving the other crowds. Dunno what his deal was.
The best part of 711 Bourbon Heat, as others have mentioned, is the downstairs courtyard. I discovered this quaint area in route to the restroom, which, out of the *entire* venue, there is only one restroom.
I’d check out this venue again. Hopefully, better service would be provided.

Me and a girl friend went here on a Friday night. Maybe it was too early (got there around midnight), maybe people were too hyped up for the LSU/​Auburn game the next day, but we weren’t too impressed with the party here. I’m all for «come as you are» parties, but the crowd looked awful. We spent about 45 mins there, we were the only ones dancing, and by dancing i mean we had to pick and choose which songs to dance to because the DJ seemed to have a 40 or 60 song playlist he wouldn’t switch from, even though his dancefloor was empty. smh In the end it started to look a little sausage party-​ish, so we just bounced. Especially since the dudes that were there were playing the wall or playing pocket pool, and the females were… meh. People (and Unilocalers) have said this is one of the better spots on Bourbon. I wasn’t that impressed. I will say that the layout is nice as clubs go and it does have a lot of potential. I was digging the courtyard. Maybe we just caught it on an off night…

Cold Drinks and HOT FUN! Wow this place is perfect for a group of people– even picky people! Went out with group of girls, everyone was happy– those who wanted to dance got to, those who wanted to talk hung downstairs in the courtyard, some of us hung on balcony and of course we all had a blast! Something for everyone– IN ONE SPOT! LOVED IT!

After being Bourbon Streeted for a couple days I was looking for a place to plant my flag. I landed at Bourbon Heat and never left. Downstairs was both a casual bar, and a relaxing courtyard where I was treated like family. By night time I went upstairs to turn up the «HEAT» at a full blown Night Club, and dance the night away.
Thanks to Angelo and the unbelievable service his staff provided, my experience in New Orleans was better then I ever dreamed.
If you land in New Orleans and do not make it to Bourbon Heat, then you are going to miss out.

I went there and met up with Rocky the resident dj. Very impressed with the layout of this club/​bar. The owner, from what I learned, open the doors new years eve. and has been improving everything ever since with sparing no expense.
My first walkthru took me to the first bar which I here by designate the «tourister’s bar» cause it’s connected to the outside street. Passerby’s can «duck in» have a drink and enjoy the music from the dj upstairs.
Next was the trip to the back bar next to the patio. This set up was extremely impressive and quiet. Video DJ set up with video screens on the walls and around the bar. On Bourbon Street? With no stripper pole? Yep, more proof that the owners want a different feel to his place. I heard good music at a level where you can enjoy it and have a conversation. The atmosphere there was good and separated from the excitement of the front bar.
Next was the trip upstairs to where the DJ (Rocky) played. Up a winding staircase and you enter a large room. This was the club portion of Bourbon Heat. Intel lighting, massive sound system and in the middle of the floor sat the large full bar. Next to that was the balcony leading to the outside. Being a former dj though I kinda glazed over the rest of the room and paid a lot of attention to the lights and sounds, so I have to go back to finish that part of this review lol sorry. But all in all I was impressed that someone would dive in and put a real New York style dance club smack in the middle of Bourbon street. It’s way different and i hope it last.
Only two negatives though (there has to be something)…Inattentive bartenders… I waited 10 minutes for one BT to acknowledge I was standing in front of her. (it was hectic though but no excuses). I ended up going downstairs to the Touister’s bar where I purchased a 5.50 domestic beer??? I got pulled back to the moment that this is a bar on Bourbon street so I have to expect those prices. (somebody got bills to pay lol)
I’ll defiantly be back with friends. Rocky told me as i was leaving that «the owner wanted to bring something new to that area». my reply «Its different.» It felt as if the wanted to bring the local dance club scene to that part and show off and i cant wait to follow it

Strolling down bourbon street for my first time after walking by 12 hand grenade places and a couple of souvenir shops we found ourself in this establishment sitting at the bar chatting with the owner and realized we finally found a classy place on bourbon street.
We had a few drinks at the downstairs bar which was a long slab of marble with warm exposed brick and wood walls and a well back-​lit bar with top shelf liquor and Abita on tap.
The back patio offers a casual lounge scene with bamboo shards growing up the sides of the wall offering a nice change from the norm. There is also a bar on back patio as well for when it gets super packed in there.
The upstairs video and dj lounge is well stocked with top shelf liquor, a center bar, a small dance floor and affordable bottle service with roped off seating. I could totally see this place being a hit with the Bachelorette parties that come into town as well as a girls or guys special night out on the town. The music was a good mix of hip-​hop and R&B to shake your booty. Overall the bar is extremely well put together and a beautiful property.
