Cash Only. Lots of Coffee options, only non-dairy milk is Soy. Lots of sweets, like Brownies, and homemade Rice Crispy treats! Awesome vibes and comfy couches. Open mic nights are Mondays, starting at 7:30pm. Free parking on the street. Funny staff, theyre all volunteers so tip them well!!

Great atmosphere, music and people. A great way to experience local New Orleans

Nice place with lots of character and very atmospheric. They have table games, card games,feels like you stopped by your friends house. Make sure to bring cash to leave a tip for the musicians.

Very comfy and cozy atmosphere. Great coffee. Live performances.

Music is great at the building is perfect for meeting up with friends. Coffee was great too!

Really down homey spot! Lots of little alcoves and character and games and books, and dog friendly!This is like going to your hippie dad’s cabin in the woods for some old fashioned coffee pot coffee and a good conversation.Always music, which is great unless you wanna concentrate (to write or think) as it is a music venue. Also, a bit of a younger crowd when I went (high school age), all polite but not quite what I’m looking for in my mid-30’s.Still I’ll def check it out again

The capital of singer/songwriters in NOLA County.

Amazing place! Ambiance and great coffee! Also live music every night

The neutral ground just can’t be beat! love spending time there, and the people can’t be beat! always good music, and if not it’s at least interesting. can never resist getting a root beer float and playing trivia with pals and this fun and local spot.

Basically if someone turned their house into a coffee shop. Usually has live music and is very very chill. They offer drinks and snacks. Boardgames a plenty and artwork all over the walls. Check out Sunday nights for open mic night.This has been my go to spot for so long I remember when it had a hooka room.

This place is my favorite spot in New Orleans, its the coolest coffee place Ive been to here. Its an old school coffee shop with couches all around the place, super cozy and they have the coolest barista. They even have a really cool tea room, and they have live music at night most of the time, usually local young musicians and bands. The coffee is pretty decent but the looks and atmosphere of the place is so unique and friendly. Its honestly the one place I recommend to everyone in New Orleans.

Outstanding! Our favorite secret find in New Orleans. A small, unpretentious venue where anyone can play and sing. Just put your name on the sign-up sheet to secure a time slot and youre the star of the show. Great coffee bar adds to the funky decor and overall cool vibe.

Saw my friend Bill Barry perform, nice place, cool people. Laid back atmosphere. We both live in Hollywood so the experience coming out there was even more special.

Cozy spot to watch a band

You go here for the music and not the drinks. The $5 hot chocolate is Swiss Miss from a packet prepared with a hot water heater. I didnt try the coffee but I can only assume its a similar deal.The dessert is apparently good according to the people I went with.

Great atmosphere. If youre going by yourself, there are books and live music. If going with friends, there are board games and lots of comfy seats to sit and talk. The staff are also really friendly!

One of the best cafes Ive ever been to. Im never leaving. Im hiding somewhere in the floorboards. Toilet paper is not an issue because the pawns are the perfect shape to plug holes. 2 dollar coffee cant be beat by anything you throw at it, and neither can comfy couches, nooks, open mikes, or the street lice I dragged in from a 9th ward flop house and rubber all over the cushions.

Closing up when I got there (11pm) because the musical acts were done for the night but that makes sense. Vibe seemed really laid back and nice, would like to go back during the day while theyre open.

Noise Complaints and Cicada were both entertaining again. The coffee and tea were yummy. nice atmosphere. a little warm, though lol

Lovely and cozy evening venue for live music. Fantastic espresso. Charming, creative decor, and comfortable. Run for and by musicians.

The best place in the world - amazing homely, welcoming vibe for newcomers, especially those traveling alone!!! Magically chill atmosphere, phenomenal people of every variety imaginable, great coffee, and amazing music. Sunday night open mic is always rad.

The only place to hear acoustic music in New Orleans. I know. Isnt that pathetic? Its supposed to be a music capital, but thats really just for jazz, funk, Dixieland, etc. Anyway, its a coffee house with live music. I expected a little more variety in the coffee and baked goods, but I came for the music. Its an oasis.

For music performances and coffee it doesnt get any better than this. Great ambience and board games. Bathroom is a little bit of a wait usually. Very cosy place.

I found this place through some friends and had a blast, so much so i went again later on during the week. What characters! reminds me of an odd but loving family. Ohh and the coffees not bad either.

GO. Such a cool place, amazing musicians, laid back atmosphere, couches, cool building, super hip people.

So when we where visiting we wanted to find a place for all ages that would not break the bank. Neutral Grounds was perfect. We only planned on going there one night over the 2 weeks we where there we ended up going every night.

Had one of the best nights here. Come to watch beautiful musicians come together and jam out

Best for late night hot drinks, snacks, chess, or just hanging out in their opium den of a pillow room. Good live music, nice people, and fun times.

Chill, cozy, low-key, rustic coffee shop with live music most nights. Lots of great books and games. Great place to end the night.

Nice and chill atmosphere to go and relax while supporting local artists during open mic nights! Good chance Ill be going again.

Really cool and unique place. I love going on Sundays to see the open mic night performers.

This is my place of places to go and chill and hang out. Its open from 7pm to midnight every night. The only time it closes is New Years or is it - yeah New Years eve. But this place you can be who you are. No pretense. Tucked in the covey of uptown on Danneel Street which is between St. Charles and Freret Street is the place for musicians to play before a live audience. Caveat - sometimes you have to bring your own crowd. But if you promote your show - theyll pass the tip basket around and you could make a few dollars for the night. Every musician thats worth their salt has booked a show there. Allain Touissaint played there before his untimely death. Now on Sundays there is an open mic. Its the longest running Open Mic in the south. Now there is no alcohol which makes it a great place for recovering alcoholics to enjoy a nightlife.

Dont leave New Orleans without visiting Neutral Ground. There arent many places this cool, places where you say Wow when you see the decor. But it just gets better from there.The food is Wikid Awesome and the people are just cool. Theres nothing stale or corporate about NG; its for humans, artists, music lovers, and, oh yeah… coffee hounds.Neutral Ground defines the word,Welcome.

Old wooden plank walls, comfy sofas and good coffee, what more can a modern beatnik bohemian ask for, oh yea, live music an poetry, check. If you like just hanging at a friends comfy couch, drinking coffee floats and wishing you were high so inspiration would hit your repressed genius, then this is the place for you.

One of my two favorite places in town to play music (the other one is Buffas).

Good people, chill vibe. Go and relax

The people who run it are lovely conversationalist and the place is unlike anything Ive ever seen.

Great place, accepting of everyone with fantastic open mic nights and local music. My favorite New Orleans spot!

Very reasonable price on popcorn.

Great place with good music. Remember to bring cash.

Such a great little spot for tasty coffee and really good music. Neat neighborhood, too!

Great place. Andrew is the man. Great music

Like the entertainment, free. Nice. Mixed ages... everyone is at home.

Cute and quaint coffee shop offering live music. Definitely visit!

Union of artists, great city secret, unaffected by tourists.

Played a gig, had fun, got paid. 10/10

This is a unique quirky nonprofit lovely little snug and friendly oasis

I love all the art! And the guy on piano

Not the best coffee, but super cute and cozy.

One of the coolest and unique coffe shops around

Great music. Fabulous coffee.

Nice relaxing place with good live music

Great food 👌

Good coffee and entertainment.

Great place to unwind and end the day

Cool place.

Best place ever!

Credit card machine was out, but Id go back again

Chill space, friendly staff, live music, and pots of tea are $3. A+, glad to have wandered across it.

Live music, enough said 👍👍☕🎼🎤🎸🥁🎶

Awesome atmosphere

Great music venue, offering musicians just starting out much quality face time at open mic as well as in monthly sets if theyre game. I reccomend the iced Rasberry Hibiscus tea, but there are countless other great options and an overall vibe of commeraderee.

Amazing

Try the tea.

Unique atmosphere

Joshua

Super deco
