Casual Game-Day Vibes Just Steps from the Stage

Located on bustling Fulton Street in downtown New Orleans, Manning's Restaurant offers a fun, sports-centric dining experience just a short walk from major concert venues. With a menu of classic American comfort food, over 30 flat-screen TVs, plush leather recliners, and a 13-foot mega screen, it's ideal for fans who love a lively pre-show buzz. Whether you're gearing up for a big arena concert or catching a local act, Manning’s blends Southern hospitality with a festive sports bar vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

Proximity is a major win—Manning’s is within easy walking distance of the Smoothie King Center and Caesars Superdome, making it a go-to for grabbing a bite or drink before the show. The atmosphere is upbeat but not overwhelming, and the efficient service means you can eat well without stressing about making it to your seat on time.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a casual meet-up before the music starts

What People Say

Guests love the hearty portions, friendly staff, and festive vibe. Reviews frequently mention the comfortable seating—especially the theater-style recliners and outdoor patio—as big pluses for pre-show relaxing. Many highlight the sports-focused ambiance and note that it’s a great spot to catch a game before heading to a concert. The burgers, wings, and shrimp & grits get particular praise, and the drink selection is regularly described as generous and well-priced.

Areas for Improvement

If you're seeking a quiet, intimate dinner, this might not be your scene. The sports bar energy can get loud, especially on game days. Some guests mention occasional waits during peak times, so reservations or early arrivals are a smart move before big events.

The Bottom Line

A fun, convenient choice for concert-goers craving comfort food, a lively atmosphere, and a seamless start to their night out in New Orleans.
