Tipitina's

Only in New Orleans can you checkout live music at 7:30am ! The city turns up for Mardi Gras and I'm fortunate to catch some of that 'Who Dat'. This is a world famous live music venue in New Orleans and a great place to catch that local flavor. Drinks were pouring early with various wines, beers and non-alcoholic options available. I hadn't been here in quite a while and needed to get a new t-shirt at the merch counter. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes !

Tipitina's is a great venue to hear music. Get there early as they really fill up.We also use Tipitina's as our krewe pre-parade costuming and breakfast area. They do a good job.Only complaint are the bathrooms. They need to be cleaner and often run out of towels or soap.

No visit to NOLA is complete without seeing a show at Tipitina's. As long time fans of the Radiators, we spent two of our six nights here ands came specifically for their show. All tix are General Admission as there is no seating and it was packed wal-to-wall with their loyal fans. There is some bench seating upstairs which wasn't quite as crowded. Advise you to get there early to stake out your spot. Hanging over the rail on the second floor is a great view and not as taxing. Free water on the second floor is a nice touch. We had a blast. Always great acts here.

Tipitina's is great !Buy tickets on Ticketmaster. I just got ripped off by Vivid Seats and can't get a refund.

First time here. We came out tonight to see brass a holics. This venue is hugeand the bartenders are bartending! ;-) It's crowded in here for this to be such a big venue. It's cool downstairs, hot upstairs. noisy everywhere and the sound system is pretty awesome!

Eleven years since my last review for Tip's? Update demanded.I've seen many a great show here since then so that hasn't changed. The sound and sightlines remain superb (I'm partial to watching from above, right where the NKOTB video for The Right Stuff was filmed and I was today years old when I found out this video was shot here, thanks Jen L) and the drinks remain reasonably priced. They have bubbly by the glass (I mean plastic cup), and that's the way I roll these days. And clean bathrooms... at a big music venue?!OK but I was not familiar with these cover-less shows... We had friends in from out of town on Friday and everyone wanted to go to Tips. We were pleasantly surprised by no cover on a Friday night to see the Brass-A-Holics. What a phenomenal show this was, too. There you go. Always a good time at Tip's and if you disagree, well you have to go back. Update delivered!

Great venue to chill and watch live music. The bartenders were great. The drinks were strong and packed a punch, but not overpowering. There is an open floor for you to dance. There is no seating, which is NOT a big deal if you're in tune to the music and show. It was not a big deal for me, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's definitely local friendly and not as touristy, which is a plus in my book. I will definitely come back to check out more live music.

We were in town for New Years and 50th Birthday celebration! We were told to visit TipiTina's and were lucky enough to catch theJohn Cleary Band and the Monster Gentleman. Fantastic show! John shared stories about Tipitinas, which was great. The bartenders and the lady at the mercy section were very friendly. We got general admission tickets on the floor and could see the stage, even though it was packed. Cool place. I recommend seeing live music here!

Fun little concert hall with a dive bar feel.On a recent trip to New Orleans, I landed at this spot for the first time. We saw a band called Dragon smoke, and had an amazing time. It's not tough to realize why this bar/music venue is rated so highly. First for the music, the sound system is great, especially for the type of music that play at this facility. The band I saw was jamming all night, Guitar , bass, drums, keyboard, and they were all mixed perfectly. Also, the venue was pretty big, and when the lower bowl fills up, there is an upstairs area.The second draw is the nice layout of bars, and assortment of alcohol they have. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though the place was packed, I didn't have to wait too long for a drink. There is also a bathroom situation on both levels so you don't have to walk back-and-forth.Would definitely go here if you are seeing a band you know, or try them out for something new.

We were tourists in New Orleans. A Cajun band was scheduled to play at Tipitina's, and we decided to go listen and watch people dance. Cute joint, super friendly lady at the door, fun music, and so much fun watching the people dance! We did not order drinks. The atmosphere was just fun!
