By all reports, New Orleans in Louisiana is the festive heart of those broad and United States of America.

It’s not the city that never sleeps, but it is a city that never sleeps, and for the right reasons: there is good food and drink, and musicians won’t stop until you leave.

NOLA in the heart of our East End is being as true to its namesake as it can possibly be by providing blues and brews to those who know the key to happiness is staying up late on a school night.

They’ve enlisted the indomitable Little Bang Brewery (how are they at every event every weekend and still find time to make beer?) and paired them with Jazzy Jones for a mid-week jam on the bar’s mezzanine level.

There’s no better way to spend a Wednesday night.
