Classic New Orleans building and bar. Full of great pop art. Large space would be great for a big event.

Beautiful space. The owners have a heart for art and students of the art community.

What a lovely space! Beautifully renovated and very versatile—a terrific event space. Bonus: tons of street parking available for us locals yet close enough to the hotels for visitors.
THE BUILDING is a performance venue, art gallery and event space located on O. C. Haley Boulevard (formerly Dryades Street). Christian and Connie started building this dream in 2001.
After much effort and years of self-funded renovations, their vision finally came to life – a venue to host visual art exhibits, live music, artist workshops, film screenings and private events. This vision is part of an effort to support the social and economic revitalization of historic Dryades Street as a cultural corridor for the City of New Orleans, while maintaining a unique aesthetic and character of days gone by.
