About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
“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.

    One of my favorite places in New Orleans. Whenever in town, I try to make it to the Bourbon House. Oysters are excellent - just down the street from Acme Oyster House, but a more upscale (and quieter) environment.
    Bourbon HouseResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re honored to be one of your favorite stops in New Orleans. There's nothing we love more than welcoming returning guests and serving up fresh oysters in a comfortable, relaxed setting. We truly appreciate you choosing to spend time with us when you're in town—see you next time! 🦪 – Gerilyn & the BH Team

    My wife and I had a date night here during Restaurant Week in New Orleans. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and the ambiance was a mix of romantic and casual dining. It's worth checking out, and it's right on Bourbon Street, which we hit up after dinner.

We're so glad to hear you and your wife enjoyed a memorable date night with great food, warm hospitality, and a little post-dinner Bourbon Street fun.

    For the prices of the menu and the ambience you’re in, you’d think it would be classier. However, I could have gotten better seafood and service elsewhere

We strive to deliver both high-quality seafood and warm, attentive service in a setting that reflects the spirit of New Orleans, and it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit.
