The Howlin' Wolf

The Howlin' Wolf is a live music venue at 907 S Peters St in New Orleans, Louisiana, bringing concert nights, comedy, drinks, and food together in an intimate Warehouse District setting. The room has the feel of a small, relaxed, no-frills venue rather than a large concert hall. Visitors describe it as cozy and welcoming, with a close-up view of the stage that makes performances feel personal. If you are looking for a casual place to catch a show while spending time in New Orleans, The Howlin' Wolf offers a distinctly local night out.

Live music is the main draw, with performances that can range from indie-style sets to touring artists and international acts. Customer visits have included a Nahko concert and a Korean rock show by Rolling Quartz, reflecting the variety of performers who may appear on the calendar. The venue also hosts comedy: one guest enjoyed a show featuring four different comedians in the intimate room. Because events and lineups vary, check the current schedule to see what is coming up. Concertgoers should note that one visitor described a standing-only setup with no seats, so it may suit guests who enjoy being on their feet and close to the action more than those seeking a seated performance.

The atmosphere is informal and unpretentious, with guests comparing it to a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall spot and a small indie-show room. That close-knit feel can make it a good choice for friends looking for a live event, visitors wanting an alternative to a large venue, or comedy fans in search of an intimate show. Reviews also mention friendly service and helpful local advice, adding to the sense of a relaxed stop where guests can settle in before or after exploring nearby attractions. The venue has a bar, and visitors have praised its drinks, including margaritas.

Food is part of the experience for some guests as well. Reviews call out jambalaya, a chicken Philly, and home-cut fries, offering a few concrete examples of dishes visitors have enjoyed; individual menus and availability may vary. The combination of live entertainment, a bar, and casual food makes The Howlin' Wolf useful for a full evening out or a show with a drink and a bite.
