Located steps from the heart of the French Quarter, Basin Street is more than just a road — it's where New Orleans' spirit was born. Known around the world as a cradle of jazz, Basin Street was once the main artery of the legendary Storyville District — the city's famed red-light district operating from 1897 to 1917.
Here, some of the greatest names in music — including Louis Armstrong, Buddy Bolden, and Jelly Roll Morton — got their start. They filled the street’s clubs and halls with sounds that would shape American music forever.
Immortalized in the jazz classic “Basin Street Blues,” this historic stretch was a place of rhythm, soul, and culture — a haven where music brought people together, even in the face of segregation and struggle.
Today, Basin Street remains a powerful symbol of Black cultural excellence, musical innovation, and New Orleans pride. And at Robertson’s Vieux Carré Lounge, we honor that legacy every day — with live DJs, good vibes, and a space where friendly people still meet and greet.
