An intimate Canal Street club that punches well above its size, Chickie Wah Wah books live music every night of the week — mostly New Orleans players, with regulars like Jon Cleary and Meschiya Lake. Blue Oak BBQ handles the kitchen, so you can pair a plate with the show, and any cover charged at the door goes straight to the band. Named for a 1956 Bobby Marchan single, it’s a locals’ favorite for hearing the real thing up close.
