Great lively colorful scene; got to see the tippy Kermit's noggin' while pushing elbows with a really fun crowd. Sit outside for comfort and lots of gab. Fun! Fun!

Pop in Vaughan's to catch live music , and cheap prices. Tourists are afraid to come here, so it's great, and still safe. Don't be scared, good people here.

I'm sure the Thursday night crowd has changed over the years - particularly since HBO's Treme - but Kermit puts on an awesome show. Also props to his keyboard player for his musical telepathy.

Local legend Kermit Ruffins plays Thursday nights. Show starts at 8/8:30pm but I recommend coming at 11pm just before the second set, when the (free) red beans & rice are served and the crowd thins.

Alex Mizrahi

Go here ever Thursday night to see Kermit Ruffins play with his band. Quite possibly one of the best shows you will ever see. You will dance , it’s impossible not to.

On a Thursday night, it would be criminal not to take a cab three/four miles out of the Quarter to catch jazz musician Kermit Ruffins ’ regular gig at this laid-back bar . Read more

Fabulous live music venue , see Kermit Ruffins here most Thursdays. When you get too hot go over to BJs for some air conditioning and cool off.

Taylor

Just come. Get a beer , enjoy Kermit, hang out on the porch between sets, and enjoy being in the right place at the right time.

Jeremy Fisher

Great place to see live music . Check the schedule

$10 each. No Kermit today but his band played and they were awesome! Cheap drinks and free rice and beans.

@sloane

Sit on the sidewalk across the street and watch the cars, bikes , and people go by. Smile, take it in, this is New Orleans folks.

Caroline Sinders

some great music but it's so much fun on an empty night, too. the 7 dollar crawfish is worth it :)

Nick McCosker

A pretty local crowd . Probably more fun if you know the locals. But a cool place.
