Such a cool place!! We saw it on TikTok for the sangria blood bags and they were so fun to drink and tasted good. The service was nice and the bartender was super cool and talkative. He was super nice and gave us vampire bite tattoos! lol The inside is very calm and lowkey. We will definitely come again when we are in New Orleans!! read more

The restaurant is a fun vampire themed experience! They have indoor seating to dine in. There is outdoor seating that does not include waitstaff, so you have to go in to order at the bar. They serve two kinds of alcoholic drinks in blood bags at $15 each. I tried both and preferred the vodka pomegranate lemonade over the fangria. The food was pretty decent. I had the scallops, which only had 3 on top the grits and my spouse had the vampire burger. The customer service to dine in was good and when you get your bill they include vampire bite mark temporary tattoos. They also have a vampire themed boutique just around the corner, however it is separate from the cafe. I did knock off a star as prices are on the high side. Additionally, I came back later the same evening just for drinks and the service was a lot slower compared to when we dined in. read more

Fun and interesting restaurant with the only cocktails I've ever seen served in IV bags. We had the Shrimp and Grits and the Alligator PoBoy. Overall I have say everything was over seasoned and over salted. Still glad we came for the experience! Service was fairly quick. Fun, quirky New Orleans experience. Drop in for a pint with blood. read more

Went here for drinks before walking around at night and it was very cute! There is a secrets speak easy that if the servers gives you the password you can go down the street to check out. I highly recommend getting the blood bags they are good read more

I wish they take reservations. Might be a good idea for Halloween weekend since you have the Anne Rice Vampire Ball, Endless Night, and Dracula's Requiem all in the same weekend. Plus the ANCC (nursing convention) has their event too. Lol. I stopped by around 6pm for dinner on Friday, November 1st, Halloween weekend. My husband and I have to be at the Endless Night Vampire Ball at 9pm so we wanted to get dinner beforehand. We did not get to dine in because wait time was 3 hours. I did see some emissaries from the Endless Night dining in. Dining in wasn't an issue when I was here back in March 2024. I just wanted to show my husband this cool establishment. I went to their sister business, The Apothecary down the road instead. I will be back for the next vampire ball. I really wanna try the alligator po'boy and get more blood bags! read more

Fangria in a blood bag was actually very tasty and the Brie appetizer & shrimp & grits were yummy - However the rest of the menu and decor was a little disappointing. The only other vampire themed items I saw were a few cheap Halloween things placed around the hostess table & bar. I thought there would be more effort put into making the place more sinister or fun. Food and drinks were good but I wouldn't go out of my way if going for the thrill of it. read more

Came to the Vampire Cafe on a Wednesday afternoon around 2pm. == FOOD == Ill be honest, my brother and I went for the blood bags since we saw so many videos of it on Tiktok. My brother got the Fangria Blood Bag, while I got the Pomegranate Lemonade Blood Bag. Super gimmicky, but worth the pictures. For food, my brother got the filet (medium rare) and I got the Vampire Burger (medium rare). There wasn't anything special with the food, seemed like anything I could get at a fancy dinner place. == SERVICE == It's a pretty small cafe, with only about 10-12 tables inside. There were tables outside too, but it was raining and we didn't want to sit outside. Service was pretty fast for us, but there was a lone traveler who waited to order for 15 minutes. == AMBIANCE == I kinda wish I visited the cafe at night, because the ambiance during the morning was pretty mid. While the inside decoration was nice, I feel like going at night would've enhanced it. The tables and chairs were very pretty. read more

Shrimp and grits was almost inedible . Way over seasoned with garlic and I love spicy food. Bloody Mary was good. Service good but very slow kitchen. I would not go back New Orleans quarter would expect much better food and faster kitchen read more

We wanted to grab some food before our scheduled tour. We found this spot, loved the vibe & decor. We were seated right away but the wait for food was going to be over our time limit per the server so he said we can have the waters he brought to our table. We ordered some drinks to go which was delicious & fun. Hope you check them out next time because the menu looked amazing, but they get all the stars for being so great! read more

I'm seriously not kidding when I say I've never had more disgusting food. The eggs Benedict was poached way too long, the salmon was slapped on there unseasoned overcooked on somehow both under and over-toasted bread. Only seasoning they offered to bring out was salt and pepper. I have no idea how this place is in business besides being an obvious tourist trap read more

We walked over after a day in the WWII museum. This place is fun! I love the theme and decoration. The food was delicious! We got the signature blood bag sangria. I had the bbq crab claws and the sauce was out of this world so delicious! My friend got the vegetable curry and she loved it as well. My husband got the deviled eggs and the gumbo he devoured both! We shared the baked Brie at the table, it was also wonderful. Overall we had a fun lunch here! The service was speedy and attentive. It is worth a visit if you're into the theme! read more

If you are not eating, you cannot sit at a table. Barnis for drinks only. There were no seats open at the bar. No problem. Grabbed a drink to walk around. While the blood drinks were a touristy thing .. they were actually good. The mojito was pretty lame ... not a good rum!!! read more

We only had a drink and desert so I cannot speak to the food, but what a fun ambiance and concept. Located in the French Quarter, if you are a fan of the dark and mysterious this place will please you. The theme is spot on and the prices are reasonable (especially for their location) The desert was very good too. Also if you are a fan of hidden speakeasy's be sure to ask them about finding one at the conclusion of your meal read more

I can't give them a zero star.......That was the WORSE Bloody Mary I've ever had in my life AFTER waiting over 20 mins for it. The bartender was lolligaging away with the staff (restaurant was empty) The "charcuterie board" was really a CHEESE PLATE....a $35 large lunchable! the server offered to bring us more meat (2 pieces of salami) as she rambled away about God knows what because we couldn't understand a word she was saying and she talked as we were trying to eat. The Cesar salad was mediocre at best and we ordered extra shrimp which came after we finished the salad. Our server stood next to me while I counted the money to pay and kept telling me to take my time while she hovered over me as I counted money. Stay away from this place. Nothing vampy about it read more

A must-visit experience for anyone into the dark side when visiting New Orleans, this was my second stop in, and it was another success. From the awesome decor to the on-point music, it has a vibe that I am there for. The drinks are excellent, featuring a variety of vampire-themed wines and other cocktails. I did a wine tasting flight the first time around, and on my second stop, I was feeling a Bloody Mary, so I did their Bloodiest Mary, which was a spicy one that was truly excellent. It came with a lot of pickled veggies on top, which is always a win for me. For food, both times I have tried the roasted elephant garlic and must recommend it. For my second visit, I had the Caesar, which is unique because instead of being on lettuce, the greenery is entirely shredded Brussels sprouts. I loved that, but I guess some people are put off, as the server specifically had to warn me. It is just a fun place with a definite vibe, and I feel like I will always make a stop when in town. read more

Ambiance: Historic & moody/dark/spooky themed bar in the French Quarter with a Vampire theme that serves amazing food & drinks! We had the best time sitting at the bar! Our bartender was super friendly & a conversationist with great drink recommendations. This is the perfect spot for a pre-ghost tour cocktail, date night, themed outing, or just grabbing a cocktail. The shrimp & grits were delicious - the sauce was almost like a braised beef or teriyaki style & super unique! You have to get the blood bags for the fun & photos! Lots of fun themed cocktails, wine, beers, & N.A. options. Highly recommend for a fun experience for anyone who likes spooky things! read more

Located in The French Quarters, this small cafe is vampire themed and has a unique ambiance. I wanted to try alligator for the first time but they were out so I ordered a vampire burger which was good. Their chocolate cake is super good and rich in flavor. The highlight was obviously the blood bags and we got the virgin versions which was pomegranate & lemonade. Definitely a little touristy and it was a fun experience. Our server was super friendly and helpful. We went in on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't that busy. They automatically apply a 20% gratuity fee since it's summer so just a heads up. The restaurant is pretty small and our stroller barely fit. They do not offer high chairs for small kids, by the way. There is some outdoor seating but it gets really hot and humid during this time. If you're into touristy things, this is a must to visit in NOLA. read more

One of my top 3 reasonably priced date night/girls night out spots that's atypical of the white table cloth ones in the quarter. From the decor to the cocktails and food, if you're wanting a unique New Orleans experience, you won't be disappointed. The service is exceptional and the drinks are strong and tasty. There's something on the menu for everyone. The haunted history of the building definitely adds to the ambiance--make sure to take a trip up to the attic for some surprises, especially during Halloween! read more

Busy place. We were at the bar but it still took the two bar attendants time to get our order. Since we were only there for the vampire speakeasy ticket and password we just ordered the blood bag. It came in two flavors. One sangria and the other vodka with cranberry juice. Both were more warm than they should be. Disappointing. You have to ask for the ticket and password to the speakeasy. It's located in the back of Fritzels European Jazz club. But by the time we got there, the speakeasy was at capacity that they could let in and we discovered they had a $20 cover. We decided to spend our money elsewhere. The Vampire Cafe has some charm for a goth setting. The Vampire speakeasy was a disappointment. We were not told about the mandatory 20% gratuity. That was shocking given the speed of the wait staff. read more

A hidden speakeasy well worth the search! You will need to get a code during the day to make it in at night. The decor, drinks, and attention to detail is outstanding. I've been to many places touring as a "speakeasy" but this truly gave the experience. Well worth a visit, and remember to look at the walls for monsters! read more

Alligator Po'Boy was sooo good. Very spicy. Dracula burger looked good, but wife wouldn't let me have a bite. I thought the air conditioning was too cold for me personally. Lighting was dim to say the least. I suppose it was fine for a Vampire Cafe. Overall, I really liked it. Our waitress was super nice and the food was very good and they have an apothecary next door which was a nice touch after the meal. Lots of neat stuff in there... read more

Great staff and a beautiful interior! We stopped in just for a drink to say we had one at the Vampire Cafe. Both of our drinks were excellent. I got the blood bag, Vampire Vodka Pomegranate Lemonade. It was great, I probably drank the whole thing in 5 minutes. My boyfriend got the B+ and loved it as well. The bartenders were great. We really weren't hungry to get food but enjoyed just popping in for a quick drink. All the food around us looked great though. The interior is what's fabulous here. The decor even at the bar is beautiful. The ceilings are gorgeous. Make sure to take a minute and look around while you're here! read more

Sat at the bar with my wife and had a Sazerac and she had an Old Fashioned. Both were nicely done. We also got some appetizers. Fried deviled eggs were ok (I liked, she didn't). The "blackened trio" and seafood gumbo were very good. The bar tender and other staff were friendly. The decor is cool. Worth a visit. read more

Vampire burgers were amazing. Fun ambiance. Alligator po boys a little too salty. Our server Katie was amazing

Service was not great. Our waitress was very rushed and did not want to answer questions. They were out of blood bags which is why we went and out of the dinner one of us was going to order and we were seated at 6:30pm. What we did eat was very good though. read more

Vampire cafe do better. That older lady in the front is so god damn rude! We walked in and the host sat there on her phone.. it took a server all the way from the back to great us before this B put her phone down. Then gave us attitude as if we were interrupting her time??? I'm a local, I will never be back in unless she stops working there honestly. She ruins the whole vibe for customers and employees.

We had a wonderful time at the vampire cafe! Luka (or luca) was the best vampire ever and gave fantastic recommendations!! We drank B-, O-, and two chocolate martinis recommended by our fantastic vampire server.

We are locals and will definitely be returning, they even gave us vampire bite temporary tats and a card for a speakeasy on bourbon! read more
