The quintessential Frenchmen Street club, the Spotted Cat is a small, sweaty, no-cover room where trad-jazz and swing bands play nightly and dancers spill toward the stage. There is no food and it can get packed, but it captures the real, unpolished New Orleans music scene. Bring cash to tip the band and buy drinks, and go early for a spot.
