Le Chat Noir houses an elegant Cabaret Room. Located at 715 St. Charles Avenue, it can be discovered on one of the most recognized avenues in the country. The 700 block is between the Central Business District (downtown) and the Uptown residential area. Close enough for easy visitor access, yet considered 'where the locals go,' this area, know as the Warehouse/Arts District, has great appeal to tourists and conventioneers who want a hip New Orleans experience. It is five blocks from the French Quarter and six blocks from the Morial Convention center. Parking for busses, vans or cars is available in the evenings and on weekends at 721 St. Charles Avenue.

Le Chat Noir, French for The Black Cat, is housed in a newly restored turn of the century building, with expansive windows that front on St. Charles for viewing of the historic streetcars, and the soaring steeple of St. Patrick's Cathedral. At night, vintage street lamps light the block, which includes a selection of fine dining establishments, luxury condominiums and the lovely Gallier Hall. The neighborhood is an urban transition area including the largest concentration of contemporary art galleries, art centers and museums in the South.

Entering the Cabaret Room takes guests back to the elegant nightclubs of the late 1940's. Soft lighting, table seating around cabaret tables draped with tablecloths and candle glow create an intimate atmosphere for drinking and entertainment. Holding 135, the room has been touted as one of the most elegant in the city. The Room was designed for live entertainment with technical accouterments including enhanced sound and theatrical type lighting operated from a tech booth. The stage is 16' by 20' with a workable back of stage suitable for a five person singing and dancing group as well as a jazz combo or single torch singer with piano accompanist. A Yamaha baby grand piano is available.
