Napoleon’s Bar turns Monday nights into a stage for local singer-songwriters

For many, Monday nights are just the start of another long week, but in downtown New Iberia, they bring a little extra music, laughter and something to look forward to. Nestled at 129 W. Main St. is Napoleon’s, a cozy neighborhood bar where the drinks are great, but the community gatherings are even better. Each Monday night, local singers and songwriters take the stage to share their original music and favorite covers, bringing the community together through a shared love of music. On Monday evening, the bar was filled with a diverse crowd of people from all walks of life. Some patrons came to watch sports at the bar, listen to beautiful music or catch up with old friends. Others just came for a nice drink after a long day. Alyssa McMurray opened the night by singing her original song, “Boxes and Letters,” about finding emotional closure after a relationship has ended.
