The window at 2836 La Salle St. tells of an earlier attempt to revive the Dew Drop. (Uptown Messenger) Plans to revive the historic Dew Drop Inn music venue and hotel in Central City moved another step forward last week with the City Council’s unanimous approval. “Putting this back into commerce is a wonderful, wonderful thing,” said District B Councilman Jay Banks before the conditional use application went up for a vote. “It adds to the musical legacy of the wonderfully musical city that we have. I am extremely excited about this.” The city’s leading Black music venue for three mid-century decades, the Dew Drop holds a hallowed place in New Orleans cultural history. It was not just a music venue, it was a welcoming barbershop, restaurant, bar, hotel and ad hoc community center for Black musicians, both local and national.
