The Free Man Cajun Cafe & Lounge – Dallas’ Deep Ellum Cajun & Live Music Gem
Discover The Free Man — a Deep Ellum hotspot serving bold Cajun & Creole cuisine with live jazz, blues, and R&B every night. A go-to Dallas nightlife destination combining soulful food, two stages, and unforgettable performances.
Nestled in the heart of Deep Ellum, The Free Man Cajun Cafe & Lounge (2626 Commerce St, Dallas, TX) brings the bold flavors of Cajun and Creole cuisine to North Texas, paired with a rich tradition of live music. Since opening in 2011, the venue has leaned into its mission to be both a dining destination and a vibrant music club where diners and nightlife-goers converge.
With dual stages (Bourbon & Frenchmen), The Free Man features live music 7 nights a week — from jazz and blues to R&B and open mic nights. The menu offers staples like gumbo, jambalaya, etouffée, and other Southern classics that bring a taste of New Orleans straight to Dallas.
Owner John Jay Myers envisioned the venue as “a new destination” where great food, music, and atmosphere meet. Nightly performances often spill into the street, amplifying the energy of Deep Ellum’s vibrant music district.
