One Eyed Jacks closed on Toulouse Street in 2020 and the building was reopened as the Toulouse Theater in October 2021, operated by Ben Jaffe of Preservation Hall, his wife Jeanette Jaffe and Clayton and Boo Randle. In 2021, Nola.com wrote: “Preservation Hall proprietor Ben Jaffe wasn’t necessarily looking for another music venue, especially during a pandemic…But he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to acquire the former Toulouse Street home of One Eyed Jacks.”
