About this Experience
What you'll do:
You are the star! At the World Famous Cat's Meow, you pick your poison and give your greatest rendition of your favorite tune in the very heart of the French Quarter. Strut your stuff and show them how it's done. Take the stage or just watch. Record your friends while they give it their all. Partake of signature cocktails, hang out on one of the largest wrap-around balconies in the Quarter, and people watch, or get a bird's-eye view of the stage from the mezzanine. There's even a nice little courtyard where you can catch some air and still be a part of the action. This is the perfect venue for a party. Non-stop entertainment and five bars to choose from. Never thirsty. Never bored. And the perfect place for you to let your followers know you are living your best life.
