Fulton Alley is New Orleans’ newest and most unique entertainment bar & restaurant that features 12 bowling lanes wrapped in an atmosphere of art, music, craft food and cocktails.
Fulton Alley’s executive chef, Mike Nirenberg, formerly of Tivoli & Lee, Oak and Delachaise, has created a Southern-American-influenced menu, including homemade meat pies, sliders, deviled eggs and smoked, fried and glazed chicken wings. Snacks and sharable small plates are primary on Nirenberg’s menu.
Fulton Alley’s craft cocktail program is curated by the leadership of Cure – Neal Bodenheimer & Kirk Estopinal. Serving both a mixture of traditional & craft cocktails, Fulton Alley has one of the most extensive collections of liquors in the New Orleans area.
Fulton Alley is in many ways the new gateway to all that New Orleans has to offer. On the doorsteps of New Orleans tricentennial, Fulton Alley is a nod to the fun, flirty, laissez-le-bon-temps-rouler attitude New Orleans is known for – in a new, modern, & hip way. Both fun and refined, Fulton Alley is characterized by a rich mix of uses – lounge & leisure.
An adaptive reuse of a former bus barn and ground-floor parking garage, Fulton Alley’s design is comfortable and approachable, but refined for an evening out with your partner or a casual get together among friends. Artwork from local, New Orleans-artists, Mitchell Gaudet & Michel Varisco, flanks the walls and ceilings of Fulton Alley. A sleek incorporation of reused brick and reclaimed barge board inform the design aesthetic of Fulton Alley, combined with soft-light fixtures and candles.
Fulton Alley is locally owned and operated and joins a number of venues along the Fulton-Street pedestrian mall that complement its neighboring Harrah’s Hotel & Casino.
Fulton Street has a long history as a hub of activity in the City of New Orleans, most recently serving as the main entertainment promenade during the 1984 World’s Fair. The addition of Fulton Alley makes the street one of the City’s great entertainment destinations.
Created by two local entrepreneurs – Shawn Barney & Kyle Brechtel – the idea came about during their time in graduate school at Tulane. Part of their final project, the two developed the concept and business plan for what would become Fulton Alley today.
