Very atmospheric, but only about 45 minutes of a performance which was disappointing. Better options for jazz in New Orleans, would recommend Mahogany Jazz club as a much better choiceFull review by Sharon K

Our experience was probably more like 3.7 stars, but I will round to 4. Jazz is so associated with New Orleans, and the venue has a lot of a historical and cultural significance. And so we are glad…Full review by SeattleSunDevil

It looks like the all stars is the one I’ve seen both times. It is an authentic listen to jazz evening you won’t soon forget. Totally worth the $20 and more. I haven’t seen the walls talk but sounds like you get to hear the musicians talk about the music and their life some. That’s pretty cool but, my opinion is that it’s only 45 min so would rather hear the music.

There are four to six rows of bench seats and then a row or two of “seats” on pillows on the floor in the front. You can actually see exactly how many physical seats there are by going to the PH website and act like you’re booking the Big Shot tickets...you’ll get to pick your seats. You don’t have to buy; you can just see the seating chart that way.
