Coming to New Orleans — a private cocktail club by James Beard-winning chef Nina Compton, where a portion of every pour supports future disaster relief in Louisiana.
ShaSha is Nina Compton's love letter to New Orleans — a city that welcomed her from Saint Lucia and became home. Named for her grandmother, the lounge borrows its mission from the city's historic Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs: a place to gather, celebrate, and look out for one another.
Pick a membership tier or an à la carte experience. Each one goes further than a drink — a share of what you pay goes directly to our disaster-relief fund.
Our smallest and most generous tier. Lifetime seat, name on the founding wall, and first access to every opening night.

$75 / seat Book a flightYou can taste the city in every glass — ShaSha is going to be the room New Orleans has quietly been missing for a decade.
Nina has always cared about this city. Making the mission part of the business model — that's the real signature.
Half social club, half beautifully stocked bar, all heart. We joined on day one.
