45 Tchoup

Yes this place has cheap booze. I used to go here because one of my friends considered this place his favorite hangout. The way he hyped this place up I thought it would have been way better.

If you are not a smoker this will bother you like crazy, Lots of people smoke here. Back when I hung out here I used to smoke so I guess it was no big deal. I think if I went back I probably wouldn't be able to handle it anymore. This place does get super crowded but it is still fun.

In short this place is good but overcrowded and smoky. Still it is way better than Ms. Maes!

45 Tchoup is Uptown-dive-bar finery. Located directly across the street from Rouse's, it is ideally located for those who are inclined to imbibe to help ease the pain of making groceries. The beer is cheap. $2 High Life, my dive bar drink of choice. They have one of those fancy jukeboxes that you can control with your iPhone. The staff and patrons both are both super friendly. It has a very laid back vibe. The only negative is the cigarette smoke. Confession: I smoked for a l-o-n-g time and, during that period of my life, the smoke would not have bothered me one bit. Now, I'm far from being an anti-smoking Nazi. But I do take offense to having my luscious locks smell like smoke after a night out. But, it is what it is and I can deal with it on evenings when I'm in the mood to drink cheap beer and play some tunes on the jukebox.

My favorite part about 45 Tchoup is the ladies room, where every inch of available wall space is covered in framed prom photos from the 80's and 90s. It's glorious.

45 Tchoup, pronounced "CHOP", is a great place to be before or after any event at Tipitina's. It seems to be ripping and rolling around 2am.

Drinks are cheap...like, stupid cheap..and I like the crowd here a lot. It's a way better alternative than Miss Mae's and Snake and Jake's.

I feel safe here. I never feel like I'm going to puke from the stench of body odor or get robbed. These things are important things to consider on a late night drinking binge.
