Savour succulent mains such as rib eye steak, baby chicken, traditional New Orleans jambalaya, and meaty platters that are ideal for sharing with friends and a glass of whisky.

The popular house-baked traditional flatbreads, delivered fresh to your table, are the perfect accompaniment to the Adana beef or lamb kebabs.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, enjoy live bands from 6pm to 9pm, or stay late to groove to beats spun by resident DJs from 10pm. “We turn up the music and get the party going with popular party songs and beats, including Amapiano, with its unique blend of deep house, jazz, and lounge music,” said Bryan O’Connor, General Manager of Carnival City. On Sundays, enjoy live saxophone performances to wind down the weekend.
“The venue pays homage to the legendary artists from days gone by who shaped jazz from its New Orleans roots to the global stage, including Sophiatown in Johannesburg.” From Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald to local icons like Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and Abdullah Ibrahim, the New Orleans Cocktail Bar & Grill celebrates the rich legacy of jazz music, blended with the melodies of funky Amapiano.
“Don’t forget to diarise our stellar line-up of unforgettable performances, because we promise non-stop music action from a variety of different performers.”
