I'm going to be in New Orleans Super Bowl weekend. I've been to the city many times and know there is not a plethora of sports bars. Where would you recommend we watch the big game?

If you are a Patriots fan and they end up going, I recommend 45 Tchoup uptown. Owner Debbie is a Boston girl, great atmosphere, very friendly, around the corner from Dick and Jenny's.

Thanks. I'm from Miami and a devout Dolfan. Really just want a good place to watch the game, drink, and I guess that will be our dinner spot that night, too. So, the food should be decent.

Anyone else?

Cooter Brown's, near Tulane.

Yeah, I remembered that after I posted. We went there a few years ago for a Canes game. Ideally, I would like place with better food, but I know that might be our best bet. Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else have another idea?

We watched the Saints-Falcons game at Turtle Bay on Bourbon Street. Very decent bar food.

We also watched misc parts of bowl games in the bar area of Arnaud's Remoulade's Cafe, also on Bourbon. Food was very good.

That's a sad life to lead now.

I'm thinking there are worse places to go than Remoulade or Turtle Bay. IIRC, I watched the Alabama-Miami game at Turtle Bay years ago when we couldn't get tickets to the Sugar Bowl. It was lively during commercials, bonkers during the game.

Go to the corner of Bienville and Decatur. Club Decatur or Ryan's Irish Pub have TV's but neither is a sports bar. Both are great places to watch games with a lot of big screen TV's. Duck into one and then the other and decide which one your like.


Call the Carousel Bar at The Monteleone I think they have TV's. It's smoke free. Coop's Place is also smoke free and has plenty of TV's.

Wow, Littleman! Thanks for your comprehensive post. Some great new places in there for us to try. it's been a while since we've been to Cooter's. Is it right off the St. Charles Street Car at
Riverbend, just across from Camillia Grill?

Yeah, BigRuss, it's tough to be a Dolfan these days. At least we got a new coach today. Not a great one, but at least we have one now.

I was hoping the Saints would make it again. They had a good run.

sf7307

Yes, that's where Cooter Brown's is - fwiw, in addition to oysters, they make a delish muffuletta!
