One of my FAVORITE LOCAL BARS to attend! I'm here every week esp on. Weekends! Definitely a "local" spot with local LIVE music ! Casey and Patrick are AMAZING BAR TENDERS!! they ACTUALLY CARE that your Frenchman and LOCAL experience experience is as best as possible! Drinks are CHEAP, NO COVER, AND A LOCAL COURTYARD EXPERIENCE to fit a LOCAL and visitor's needs! This is a MUST COME to if you enjoy LOCAL, CHEAP DRINKS, LIVE, AND NO COVER EXPERIENCE!!!!! Y'ALL visitors MUST see Frenchman St yourselves to fully grasp a New Orleans culture and experience!!!

Great music. Punk rock and garage bands. When you need a break from jazz here in NOLA.

Amazing patio, great food and drinks, reasonably attractive bartenders
Regan Brunetti
This place is fantastic for brunch! Sitting outside at one of the tables listening to music from live performers and musicians that are outside is unbeatable. The food is pretty damn good and I believe they have bottomless mimosas and Deals like that. I don't drink but I saw a lot of people walking around with champagne.

Lovely venue, good music and food, friendly relaxed fun place to be
Randi Wagner
This place is the BEST! Great music, ambience and amazing service. I lost a very important and valuable ring dancing the night away after a wedding, and the bartender got back to me within the hour to return it the following day. That's a first! Thank you Rare Form.

Great local music, fantastic beer list, wonderful bartenders. That bread pudding is my soulmate.

This was absolutely the coolest laid back comfortable bar on Frenchman. I went on a Saturday at 11am and stayed until 3pm when we had to run for a flight and the crawfish boil was amazing. They cook it right in front of the patio and although I've been to Nola three times, it was the first I felt like I was truly in the heart and soul of what New Orleans is all about.

Tuesday and Google says they're closed. Followed my ear to a piano and harmonica. Same guy playing both! Talent, oh yeah. From Czech Republic, sounds like from down the street. Great! A couple beers, some hummus, nice tunes, a great afternoon.

It was a fun night out with the girls! I got to catch an all male review when I went that evening. It was pretty good except for the fact that the staff inside the establishment was rude, but the staff that was attending the outside bar was quite enjoyable. Had it not been for him, I wouldn't have given as high a rating.

NOLA's own superstar guitarist, Steve Mignano put on a great show. Everybody had a great time including the drunk guy dancing alone up front. Steve is a great performer and he's funny. Go see him.

Great little Courtyard at the end of Frenchman Street. Friendly bartenders, but was told the kitchen was running very slow and then it ran out of food, a bit of a downer, only reason I left, would have stayed for the rest of Ham and Jang trio's set, I will look to catch them again.
Allireid Larsen
Love the courtyard. They often have good live bands that play each night. A fun and friendly staff too.

Rare Form is the hidden gem of Frenchmen Street! Never a cover charge, and never as crowded as the other bars on Frenchmen. The live music is phenomenal! The Steve Mignano Band plays some incredible blues rock every Saturday night. Probably the best guitarist in the French Quarter which says a lot considering the musical talent in NOLA! The bartenders Casey and Patrick are awesome, both really friendly & easygoing which really adds to the vibe of this place. You feel like you're among friends, no attitudes like you'll find at some of the Bourbon bars. Drink prices are very reasonable for some strong drinks! The food menu changes often but I've eaten here several times and it's been very good with minimal wait time! Weekends feature jazz brunches with bottomless mimosas! I really can't say enough great things about this bar. By far my favorite in Frenchmen!!!

Husband and I were there October 28th. We both this place was a gem in New Orleans..great atmosphere, great music and next door to our hotel The Frenchman which was also a very cool place. Only suggestion would be for staffing. We ordered food which was also good, but very unorganized, only one person behind the bar who took food orders but could not keep up with where food went when the kitchen would run food out. Really needed 2 people behind the bar on a weekend night..could have made more $ in revenue and tips because people had to wait longer than necessary for drinks. It could just been an off night. Other than that great place to check out.

Always great food, service and live music! A great place to relax out in the courtyard with family and friends. The red beans and rice is amazing along with a cold Abita Boot! Always the place we go to when we get in town!

Would not recommend! We came here around 7:15pm on Saturday. They had some jazz band playing and it was impossible to hold any sort of a conversation unless you were outside the bar, a quarter mile down the street. Way too loud. If you're deaf or don't care about your hearing (or having conversations), and you enjoy overpriced shitty food, this is the place for you. I ordered steak nachos (chips, cheese, and steak; how difficult can that be) and they were terrible. There isn't anywhere to attach a pictuee ib this review, otherwise I would. The cheese was so gross!! We enjoyed the Rusty Nail and the music there much more.
Sonya Grady Motley
Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and very good music. We highly recommend going here.
Mark Talbot
Great hidden spot for beverages and some awesome local live music. Easy to miss but worth the little detour.
Sara Dziepak Vinson
Quaint out of the way place. Amazing bands. Beautiful courtyard. Nice bartenders.. Such a great place that newcomers don't know about.. A must do!
Sharon Denise Talbot
Great little spot, good music. Can't vouch for the food since we had already eaten but we will be back. �
Angie Davis
My hubby was getting a new tat at downtown, was walking around and heard music, I stopped in for a beer and listened to some great music in the courtyard. Great little spot!
Adikus Sulpizi
The New show by Eureeka Starfish was one of the best nights iv'e had in forever fun talented and full of surprises.
Aura Jane
Great food, great staff, and I adore the REfresh show held once a month here starring Eureeka Starfish and others! What's better than Drag, Burlesque and local artists vending?? Always a great time! ���
Cher Couvillion Wilson
The courtyard is charming. Peaceful & authentic New Orleans live music & drinks. Get away from the rush here.
Sheena Romero
Great place to chill. Could've had a bit better music
Domenic Fusca

Charles Lucia
Great patrons, great shows, AMAZING staff who are all involved in New Orleans culture outside of the bar. Definitely stop in for a drink and get on the mailing list/follow them to keep up with al the shows and events they have.
