Where is everyone?
We were doing OK for a minute there, but the past week has looked a lot like June for us and a lot of other "Mom & Pop" businesses in New Orleans.
We are still struggling to survive week-to-week. We thought we would have turned the corner by now, but it hasn't happened. If you can't visit, the GoFundMe is still available. We are also fully stocked with Buffa's merchandise, which you can purchase on our web site. Every little bit helps.
Please remember, Buffa's is not the only "Mom & Pop" business in New Orleans suffering this summer. Come visit us once a month (or more, if you like!) and tell your friends to do the same. Then find 2 or 3 more local businesses you love and patronize them once a month. If enough people do that, New Orleans summer economy will thrive as more people will be employed and those businesses will be able to meet their obligations in the tough summer months.

A word about our shows
We have a cover charge for most of our shows. 100% of this money goes directly to the musicians — we don't keep a dime. If you get tickets on Eventbrite you are guaranteed a seat for that show, as long as you show up within 15-20 minutes from the show's start time.
This system helps us make sure the musicians receive fair pay, and also allow us to pay our employees properly for their time.
Live Music
Every Wednesday thru Monday
All Ages Welcome!
