Rock ‘n’ Bowl has live music most (if not all?) nights. We chose to go on Zydeco Night. We paid a $10 cover charge each, got our hands stamped, and walked into Louisiana music heaven. The band was playing when we walked in (before official show time); they then took a short break, started again at 8:30pm, and didn’t stop... more

A friend from New Orleans took us here and boy, was it fun! It's a hole in the wall bowling alley that has a dance floor and a band! We dance to zydeco music. There's food and drinks, but don't expect great quality. You're there for the music, to watch the dancers and do some dancing yourself! $10 to get... more

My first impression of this place was one of horror. It isn't in the greatest of neighborhoods, our family of four got hit with a $10 per person cover charge before even making it up the stairs, and once we finally got up the stairs we were greeted with a dark, run down bowling alley, bar, and small music stage.... more

This place is nothing special also if you plan on going to this place there is no need to buy tickets for the music, if you get there before 8 pm. Which the web site does not tell you, in fact it takes you directly to a site to buy tickets for the concert but when you walk in you... more

Great time with New Orleans performer Tab Benoit on New Years Eve. He is an incredible blues guitar player and singer with touches of country, zydeco, even a little soul. I guess he got his start at the Rock N Bowl 18 years ago so even though he is a successful recording artist , he remembered where he came from.... more

This place is an original! I would advise folks to call ahead, the newspaper listing about zydeco night turned out to be swing dance night. There is a dance school right next door and after lessons, the group trouped up there to practice. It was worth it even though I had hoped for zydeco. Taking a cab is a good... more

Great music. Dancers that won't stop. One guy I saw never missed a dance through the whole set. When the band took a break he danced himself into the rest room. We come back whenever we can. No comment on the bowling lanes, did not go 1000 miles to bowl. more

You can go and just listen to music, but not to bowl a few rounds on these shabby, retro '60s lanes is to miss out on some incredible fun. Arrive early, or you'll have to put your name on a waiting list and check back every 45-60 minutes to see if a lane has opened up. (You may have to... more

We caught a cab from Fiorella’s in the FQ and headed to Mid City to the Rock n Bowl for Zydeco night. I had seen Geno Delafose before there and was very excited to see him again. This is one of the places I never get tired of and love to come here for an authentic New Orleans experience. There... more
