DBA at 618 Frenchmen St is a live music club that proudly leads with great beer, great spirits, and great wine, while booking fantastic bands to complement the excellent libations. Established in spring 2000, DBA features two distinct rooms with two bars, each with its own character. The lounge room offers a relaxed feel while the music room captures a jazz club atmosphere, with both dimly lit by twirling ceiling fans and lined in rich redwood paneling. Local and regional acts perform nightly, creating an authentic Frenchmen Street experience centered on musical excellence. Under new ownership as of November 2023, DBA continues its mission of celebrating New Orleans' cultural heritage through live performance, attracting music lovers and spirits enthusiasts who understand that great cocktails and great music belong together.
