“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.

I’ve been here before and it was great. I brought a group of 8 here expecting the same. Tonight was completely different. The wait times for drink and food was terrible. They need to improve their entire kitchen and service process. They apologized for well over an hour while waiting on food and drinks. During the course of 2hrs, our table only managed to get served 2 drinks, and 7 of 8 dinners, then after another 30 minutes the final entree arrived. They offered free desserts, so we ordered some desserts. After 20 mins of waiting for free desserts, we had to leave. Terrible night for the Bourbon House on 12/10/2024. We were there from 6-9pm and I’m sure nothing improved later. We finally got up to leave and I had to find the waiter to pay. While offering to comp food or drinks is a nice gesture, we don’t want free stuff we just want great food and service. That’s why we came to your restaurant. Lots of better choices in New Orleans to spend your evening, instead of the Bourbon House.

We were at Bourbon House July 2023 and it was a whole “ fine dining “ experience which is what I was hoping for last night . We very much enjoyed our meal but, fine dining is so much fun!! And I wanted my family to experience that southern fine dining experience that seems to be disappearing

Hostesses were not friendly. Waiter was very sweet but food came out in less than 2 minutes after I ordered it. No way was it made fresh. Epic fail.

If you'd like to share more of your feedback with us, please call the restaurant and ask to speak with a Manager. We would have loved to have a chance to make things right for you before the end of your visit. That being said, we hope to hear from you soon and appreciate you dining with us, even though it seems we missed the mark. Take care, Alexander & the BH team.
