“Arguably the best oyster bar of any white tablecloth restaurant in New Orleans” per the Times-Picayune, Dickie Brennan’s Bourbon House is all about local seafood. If it’s not in season, you won’t find it on the menu. Enjoy authentic New Orleans dishes and oysters on the half-shell in a lively atmosphere overlooking Bourbon Street.

Dickie Brennan and his culinary team have created an incredible menu of classic New Orleans dishes complemented by new favorites. Signature favorites include Gulf fish on the Halfshell and New Orleans style Barbeque Shrimp.

Bourbon is a central focus at the bar with 200 bourbons on the list. Bourbon House is the perfect place for a specialty cocktail or a straight pour of that hard to find small-batch whiskey.

    We made a reservation for 7 and when checking in were told they would text when a table was ready. After 20 minutes I asked hostess and was told a table is ready. Waited an hour after ordering and then told them we were going to leave. Food arrived in 5 minutes. Once it did food was delicious. Tables near us were also leaving. Waitstaff was friendly and food was good, but this was not worth all the waiting.

    Horrible service. Waited 20 minutes until I had to ask a manager for service. Totally overrated and so many better options.

    Our waiter Hank was terrific and the food and ambience were excellent. We really enjoyed our evening there and the bourbon tasting as well. I recommend this restaurant and will come back again.

    A very busy night in NOLA as the Swifties took over the city for the weekend. Although everything that our table of four ordered was very tasty, almost everything came out lukewarm. Charbroiled oysters-warm/cool. Shrimp n grits-slightly warm. Gulf fish n mirleton- sent it back to reheat it. They do make a mean Old Fashion! Would I go back?…Yes. This is a sample size of one. Your results may vary.

    We had a great Halloween lunch! Dee was very attentive and took wonderful care of us! Food was great especially shrimp and grits and grilled oysters with crab meat. The icing on the cake was Cajun fiddler, Sam Craft playing an electric violin throughout the restaurant! I loved how he added a few Taylor Swift songs on this Era Weekend!

    The food was delicious. However, the service was terrible. I ordered an appetizer and second drink, neither of which I ever got. Wait staff was scarce.
