I sang here 17 years ago so you may think that I'm biased, but honestly this is the best place to go for jazz in NORL. The booze is sensible and the bands are great...don't miss it.

One of the best bands we saw in new orleans. Fritzels jazz band. They were fantastic and Richard Scott on the piano was outstanding , excellent musicians in an intimate bar. Do not miss ! Another bonus is there is no cover charge to go into the bar to see them. Lots of bars were charging at the door for...

I'm not a jazz fan, but the band playing here are excellent! Stop in and grab a beer, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the live music awesome.
What a find near the end of Bourbon Street this throwback hole in the wall jazz club is! Fritzels boasts some of the city's top notch ragtime jazz, with a house band that pumps out set after killer brass themed set. Buy a drink(the lovely host, Kate, will make sure you do before finding you a seat!), settle in, and...

Smoky, but fabulous intimate jazz. Gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as the servers really pestered me to drink more, even though I was not done with my drink. Also, several rude drunk people who bothered the musicians and were not asked to leave... Just thought this was par for the course for New Orleans.
Very crowded on a Thursday night. Too crowded to enjoy the band - and it was not that great of a band. Think it gets by more on what it used to be than what it is.
We love this place. My wife and I have been here many times, usually with friends. It is small, and it can be hard to get a seat. You might have to sit with strangers - no problem! This is part of what we like about Fritzel's - you get to meet other people who love New Orleans and love...

We wandered in and what a great time! The band was great and there was a special guest playing in the band from Germany. We loved the music, the crowd was great, the drinks were great, the service was great. I would defiantly come here again. It is a little small and old, but the historic building was built in...

I stumbled into this place and just thought it was great. It is cozy, everyone squeezed in and you feel like you are at a private party. You'll be smiling in no time.
Great jazz venue for old timey New Orleans music. The house band is excellent and an hour of two here will have you smiling and wanting more. The music starts at 9p.m. and the sets are a good hour long. No cover but a one drink mimimum. Drinks are strong and service is great. The bassist is incredible but so...
