Snug Harbor
 

I've seen Snug Harbor mentioned several times as a good place to listen to jazz. Anyone know whether reservations are necessary? I know, from their website, that they take them, but has anyone gone without them? Thanks!

Best,
Sandy

Snug Harbor (New Orleans) doesn't take reservations, per se, but you can buy tickets in advance for their nightly 9/11pm shows. I suggest you do this as they OFTEN (but not always) sell out.

Even with advance ticket sales, we had a hard time getting a seat. Buy in advance, and arrive early! Although the bigger names are at Snug Harbor, we preferred the Spotted Cat across the street! Once you're in the neighborhood, there are a couple great places for dinner before or after your show. We loved Marisol's down the street; it was really excellent food in a romantic atmosphere. And another the place on the corner a half block from Snug Harbor looked great, although the name escapes me right now. Have fun!

Snug Harbor at Ft. Myers Beach is a fun casual restaurant. I wasn't even aware until this post that they now have jazz. That's good news.

I assume that's the Snug Harbor you're talking about since you didn't mention any state or city.

Hey Patrick - I assumed the Snug Harbor in New Orleans was the one sandypaws was talking about. Maybe he or she will come back and let us know :)

Could be, and it makes more sense than the Snug Harbor I know about. I understand how a "newbie" could not understand that everyone will automatically know where he's talking about when posting and clicking a state, but sandypaws has done a lot of posting here. Did we suddenly think everyone is supposed to be a mindreader? Or is Snug Harbor in New Orleans so famous that everyone is supposed to automatically know where and what it is? I may not be a NO expert, but I have been there four or five times and I've never heard of it, so I don't think it is quite like saying, "I want to stay in Times Square" without adding the New York City to the title.
