Kajun's Karaoke Bar

Dive bar but the karaoke DJ is great and the bartender is super sweet. Decent local beer options. Clientele is all over the map but not bad. Definitely a local's spot. Bathrooms are clean for a dive bar.

So definitely not my choice for a bar but I'm better off knowing this place exists. Similar to most bars in New Orleans, I could've sworn I've been here before. Something about the patio seems really familiar? Glitch in the matrix, I don't know. So if you know me, karaoke and I do not mix. I've performed a total of 3 times in public in my life, and maybe 6 times period. It's just bad, and it takes an amount of alcohol I'm just not comfortable consuming in public. So how did I end up at a bar that exclusively does karaoke? Someone's birthday, as the DD no less. Still had a hella good time. The regulars got the party going early, then turned it up when the crowd got warmed up. Solo Linkin Park, WAP by the DJ and bouncer, Radiohead by a cowboy?! Props all around, we had a blast. My friend got to relive her early days with backup singers. Classic NOLA. Good basic bar food, lots of alcohol and even alt non alcoholic drinks. It's been awhile since I've hung out on St Claude, and it looks like it's coming up a little bit. There are a couple bars, restaurants, shops etc nearby worth checking out as well.

This bar was once great. I used to stop in and bring my dog in for treats. The people behind the bar were very kind and liked my dog. I enjoyed spending 10 bucks a day there. Plus, any time I had friends in town, we would stop in for karaoke. I did my bachelor party there. Anyway, in November of 2023, my friend was coming to meet us for a drink. She had her expired California Driver's License, along with the paperwork that explained that her driver's license was on the way. That was not good enough for the ID checker who had come on duty since I had gone in. I came in and pointed out that she was obviously in her 30s, and he talked to me like I was not someone who had brought in a couple thousand dollars worth of business over the last year. So, I stopped going to this bar. I would have never weighed in, except that this person has evidently taken control of this bar. They have a sign posted up about how they are a jerk and enjoy being a jerk and will make up rules as they choose. I understanding having to card people, but if someone has an expired ID plus the paperwork to prove this is their ID, I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with that, other than that they don't want their place of business to make money. They also have something on the sign about making arbitrary rules. I am not a fan of being unfair for no reason. If you like Karaoke, there is Cat's Meow in the Quarter, and a number of other places that do Karaoke on other nights. So after months of my dog avoiding a longer walk due to hot weather, we walked in the evening and caught this pathetic sign. If you're a tourist, this place is no longer an authentic place to have fun in New Orleans. It's a place run by a very sad person who will never have more power than telling someone their ID is not good enough to go into a Karaoke bar. But they're a really sassy dictator about it! If you are going to go there, make sure you get there before like 8 or 9. Whenever this sad sack in the sign shows up. Incidentally, I think it is worth mentioning that I was in there a few months earlier, and a different bouncer (allegedly the wife of the owner) wouldn't let my wife in. She had forgotten her ID and did not have the LA Wallet App on her phone. The bouncer simply said, I'm sorry, we had a problem and we really can't let you in. My wife totally understood and just sent me a text. When I got out, the bartenders mentioned that I was a regular and clearly well over 21 (40). At that point she was willing to let my wife in, but I had just been grabbing a drink while she was running an errand. All of that is normal. Talking to people disrespectfully for no reason, and then celebrating that in a sign seems pretty silly to me. Anyway, maybe they are thriving on the tourist trade. I'm sad to say, I will not go back there unless they change ownership and their power-tripping bouncer.

Great place to watch Saints- outside patio too Drinks very good and great price

So much fun!!! The bartenders are awesome, Bella the dj was amazing and has an awesome voice, and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and song Black Velvet for y'all again! ♥️

Not bad! Karaoke is good. Only bad is the auto karaoke system does not register your name every time, so you get passed by sometimes. Friendly bartender. Kind of out of the way in a scary part ot town if you don't know the area. Nice place over all.If I was a local, this would be my hangout.

Well I came there to sing a song or to sing do karaoke. This was my second time coming there. First time I had a wonderful time. Great atmosphere. Last night live band for karaoke and the one that was hosting the people to get up on stage who was looking like princess Leia is an a****** he made me wait over 3 hours. I still did not get up to sing then I paid $20. To skip the line so they say and he still made me wait with over six seven people me Then I said you know what let me go back and get my money. I went back and got my $20 back and he had the nerve to tell me I was being rude. You were being rude because you didn't even let me get up. I've been in there since 9:45. It was hardly nobody in there and then it's crowded and I still have not got up to sing. So I'm feeling some type of way. So I will not be coming on any live band night ever again karaoke and plus they hardly had enough songs that we could work with anyway. So then I don't have a choice of any songs that I would like to do doing what's on the list and still couldn't get up to sing. So I'm done. They will never see me on a karaoke live night again and make it so bad. I sing in the band. I wanted to jam with them but princess Leia was acting very funny and just didn't want to let me up or playing favoritism of who we want to let up. That's what it look like to me which is wrong for business

OMG So hot in there, but hey... I guess that goes with the territory. Staff was great and accommodating, the karaoke was amazing, and the outside area was a lifesaver I was shocked to see a vending machine with edible THC items in it, but I'm not from a state where that's legal, so it's interesting to see. ...Not my thing, but cool to see the differences from place to place.
