If you’re looking for where everyone in New Orleans is going to be this summer… it’s @thebatture

River views, local vendors, food, cold drinks (AKA St.Rains), a nice summer breeze, and enough space to actually sit down and RELAX. So naturally we had to make it our second pit stop of the month while we’re still recovering from April.

This is the kind of place you accidentally spend 6 hours without realizing it. One St.Rains turns into two, you start buying all the goodies from @missmarketnola , someone orders food, and boom the sun goes down and it’s time for the next move.

Honestly… it’s exactly how summer in New Orleans should feel 😉

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Bar opens in about an hour because Mom deserves that. Rain or shine today, kids. No reservations needed.

#mothersdayspecial❤️

#letshaveaday

We’re gonna take a swing at Tuesday evenings because we have major FOMO - @missmarketnola on the pours, @waska_nola selling out every week and @stellysfroyo on the sweet treats. What’s not to love? Days are longer and the lobster is sweeter. See y’all tomorrow.

P.S. Starting with a limited menu of our fan faves - Maine-style, CT-style and crab rolls. All the chips, drinks and caviar too.

THIS MONDAY 🚨🦞 @thenellshell is coming to our house to host a lobster pop up we are very excited come pop out! Lobster rolls will be available as well👀

Meet The Nell Shell 🦞

What started as a 1962 Shasta trailer and a long-time friendship turned into one of the most unique seafood pop-ups around. Chris and Nell have known each other for more than 20 years, and after years of running Nell’s Catering Co., they teamed up to bring a shared obsession to life: authentic East Coast lobster rolls.

Inspired by decades of trips to Maine (and Chris’s New Jersey roots), they set out to figure out how to get the real thing down here. Today, lobster meat is overnighted weekly from a family-run supplier fishing in Penobscot Bay — where the lobsters are known for being a little sweeter. You can taste the difference.

The name? It actually started as a joke. When they bought the vintage trailer, it was just a metal shell. A friend started calling it “The Nell Shell,” combining Nell’s Catering with the trailer’s look — and somehow it stuck. Now it’s a fitting name for a seafood-focused menu.

They serve lunch, happy hour, and dinner out of the fully renovated trailer (which took about a year to transform), and if you ask them their favorite part of popping up at The Batture, it’s the river views, the spring breeze… and spotting their favorite light blue and white tugboat go by.

You can catch them serving up lobster rolls and more:
Thurs–Fri 3–8pm
Sat–Sun 11am–8pm
