Snug Harbor is a popular jazz club, bar, and restaurant on Frenchmen Street in the Faubourg Marigny section of New Orleans, Louisiana. It has been described as "the classiest jazz club in New Orleans" by The New York Times[1] and as a "musical landmark" by Rolling Stone.[2] It regularly features live performances by noted jazz performers, including Charmaine Neville and Ellis Marsalis.[3]

The club was owned by George Brumat until 2007, when he died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 63.[4] The damage from Hurricane Katrina forced its closure for a time, and its closure was noted as a significant blow to the jazz heritage of New Orleans.[5]
