“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.

    Don wax our waiter, he made you feel like you were his only table! Service was excellent,. This was my families second time in this restaurant and both time the food was great. And I must say the best part was Dons insights were completely spot on. The man knew his food.

    Great server, Ashley, and great food. They were out of a lot of what I wanted but the substitutes were all solid. Kids enjoyed it and best bourbon selection in town.

    Food was mediocre, at best. Service was ok. Waited for our check for a long while. Too few menu selections. Probably wouldn’t eat there again or recommend to anyone.
