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.
This dive joint is the basement/ground level of a house right across from Rouse's on Tchop. Â This place sometimes has music and often has other events going on. Â It is a relatively generous space and has a decent sized bar. Â This place will often get crowded during a big show at Tipitina's when folks will walk back forth between here and there and then hang out here after the Tip's show. Â This generally seems to be a cool bar except for the times when it gets too smokey and I'm not a fan of smoke or dumb ass smokers that always seem to accidentally bump into you and burn you with their cigarettes. Â This place seems to almost always be open so I'm not even sure what there hours are if they aren't 24/7.
Review Source:If you like to mix alcohol with your coffee I have two words for you... Triple Jitter. Drop what you're doing right now and go order one. I could drink the Van Gogh espresso vodka that they use in that drink straight! Oh wait... I do... well on the rocks ha! I also could have sworn I had written a review for this place already but maybe I started and had just had one too many of the aforementioned drinks *scratches head* oh well moving right along!
The bartenders here are the best, so helpful. I would have never discovered my new favorite vodka without them! They have darts, an excellent beer selection, and free food during saints games! It also doesn't hurt that Taceaux Loceaux and WhoBurger seem to pop up here quite often. I guess I could see why the smoke would bother people but I have never really been there during peak hours I suppose. It's definitely a fun little haunt for me.
45 Tchoup is a smokey dive bar.
Years ago I wouldn't have minded the smokiness. Hell, dive bars are supposed to be smokey, right? The problem with the level of smoke is that the next day my clothes and hair reek, plus my lungs don't want to function to their full capacity. Now that that is out of the way, 45 Tchoup is a pretty cool place.
There was a pretty good beer selection including several St. Arnold's beers. While not local, I occasionally like to support Texas brewers and this bar gave me that opportunity.
The bar was nice and dark with a low ceiling. These two features added to the ambiance and made me feel better about drinking beer while it was still technically the daytime.
I would probably come back to 45 Tchoup if I were in the area, but if it was crowded, I would probably pass due to the level of smoke.
After starting the night, er, late afternoon off in a classy fashion, my friends and I decided we needed a slighty grungier place to continue our escapades. Â After a quick search of happy hour specials, we found ourselves at 45 Tchoup. Â We sauntered into the dimly lit bar and sat ourselves down to grab drinks and take in the scenery. Â Our bartender, Shanon "Deuce," was a friendly lady who filled us in on the daily specials(try the $3.50 bluberry gin martini) and the place's history. Â While nursing our drinks, pulled pork tacos and homemade slaw magically appreaded behind us. Â SO GREAT. Â Apparently, one of the bartenders brings food on Tuesdays for bar patrons. Â
Delicious free food, always a plus in my book. Â Good, nicey priced, also a plus. Â While the bar is out of the way for me, I'll be sure to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Â Gracias, 45 Tchoup!
I just visited 45 Tchoup after having lived here for 3 years. Â I really regret not stopping by earlier! While this place sort of reminds me of sports bar meets dive bar - it really is a pretty comfortable atmosphere and a good place to grab a few drinks.
The prices are very fair - $2 high life all the time, 2.50 mexican beer night on Tuesdays and drafts range $3-5. Â Overall, its one of those places where if you drink cheap, you'll be tipsy to make your $10 credit card minimum!
The one downside is that the place is VERY smokey - the only portal to the outside world appears to be the front door, so not a lot of air circulation going on in here.
The jukebox at Tchoup 45 could have been stocked by my grandmother, specifically for those nights when she had a couple too many Brandy Alexanders and started flirting with the busboy, had my grandmother been a whiskey drinker who hung out at country-themed drag bars in Norman, OK.
It is, in other words, the greatest jukebox in the history of public houses. Â On my last visit there were 9,987 credits on that baby just waiting to get spent.
Darts? Check. Evan Williams and a pint for $4? Got it. Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack right next to Rebirth and Hank, Jr. on the box? Were you not paying attention earlier?
As Christine D. noted, it is also wildly smoky. Â Impossibly smoky. Â So smoky that, the next day and possibly for many days after (depending on how many fresh loofahs you own), you will smell like one of those creepy old people who chain smoke Merits with their cat and rheumy-eyed Jack Russell in their sketchy condo for decades on end.
But no one ever said that entry to Jukebox Valhalla came without its cost.
I don't know if I just had a bad night here, but I doubt I'll be back. It was very dead and very smoky, I usually don't have a huge problem with smoking, but I felt like I was hanging out in an ash tray here. The one good thing is that they have cheap drinks and darts! But that still wont get me back. Sorry.
Review Source:While I want to love 45 Tchoup because it's a Red Sox bar (WOOT!) with a good vibe and darts...the smoke in there is (in my opinion) the worst in the city. I can't breathe and I leave feeling nauseous. I've gone back a few times hoping that I can stand it but ... I can't. I think that if it wasn't for the smoke I would be there at least a few times a week during SOX season.
Review Source:I came here with the promise of darts.
So last weekend a promised face off against the dart master of my boys turned into the scavenger hunt of the year. Â
We started off the night at shamrock to be turned away by our dislike of paying cover for a band we didn't know and the bass lines coming out the door made an otherwise sure... let's do it moment turn into me running headlong down those green stairs towards freedom and the words "it's new orleans.... there's got to be plenty of places to play." Â So we began.
We contemplated mick's but realized we weren't sure if they had any darts. Â Drink one and out the door. Â Went to milan and in the midst of my confusion about when was that party that brought me down here realized the hipsters crowding the front weren't going anywhere we had a few tasty cocktails, grabbed a sixer to go and headed to 45 tchoup. Â
This was the first time i'd ever walked in that door and I have to say it was a great surprise. Â It wasn't overly crowded and I was able to order my whiskey and coke within just a few clicks of bellying up to the bar. Â It was a good drink, strong and she didn't put diet in the glass (which turns out is still a huge problem the first time I order a whiskey and coke at almost any bar round here). And she very quickly took care of the guys too. Â To our disapointment they were down from the promised 2 dart boards to one that was already taken. Â We settled in and chilled out for a bit drinking up the great neighborhood bar atmosphere and the clean space. Â We went to check out the foozeball table to discover that it had been removed in favor of a poker table. Â Sad moment, but hey... i'd play some serious poker back there given a chance.
During a rogue girl moment/ escape from the sports talk I was suddenly surrounded by i headed to the ladies room. Â Which was great. Â Hilarious with the prom pics up everywhere. Â I spent a very entertained extra 10 minutes in their oggling some bad prom dresses and even worse auquanet situations.
We managed to ringer the dart board away from the guys playing for a game and I did enjoy how even though the bar got even more crowded as tips let out that it still felt cozy and warm over there. Â So our challenge turned into one drunken game but was well worth it to discover this little jewel way over on the other side of town.
My advice is go in if you find yourself over there. Â No matter how packed the bar my drinks and tab came in a timely manner with a smile and a friendly joke. Â The seats aren't thousands in capacity or anything, but it's still roomy enough for a night out with friends. Â And from what the guys said the tap selection was pretty decent.
And note to yourself if you're looking for a place to play darts in this town: Buy your own darts and bring them with you wherever you go.
I have been meaning to write up 45 Tchoup for some time, as this is one of the best neighborhood bars in the Uptown area. Â The staff here are all super nice, drinks are reasonably priced, the music is consistently great, and the patrons are friendly to boot. Â
If my life had turned out differently, I would gladly be planted at the bar every damn night. Â Unfortunately, due to some so-called "success" and "luck" in life I cannot go to the bar and get hammered every damn night, which suggests I need to rethink "success" and "luck."
Special note: they are now holding a quiz night every Monday at around 9pm. Â I have gone a few times and can attest that they do it right--funny categories, sweet prizes, and hands-down the best music round I have ever seen, and I have quizzed it up world wide. Â Bert, the bartender who does the music questions, is a mad genius.
As an orphan Red Sox fan new to NOLA, I was in a tough spot trying to find somewhere to watch the ALCS among other expatriates of Red Sox Nation. I found 45 Tchoup here on Yelp & called ahead. Debbie the owner practically saved me a seat for Game 1 and I kept coming back for the games that followed. Debbie & Frankie and their staff are just about the nicest, most welcoming folks ever. They really bend over backward to make the patrons feel right at home, as if they were in their own living room. Now that I've found a home away from home(plate at Fenway), it will be one of my regular haunts, even in the off-season!
Review Source:Debbie & Frankie, formerly of Parasol's, have their own place now, across from the Sav-a-Center. They transformed what used to be Shilo into a beautiful, long, wood bar with plenty of stools under just the right amount of light. There are a hand full of tables near the two dart boards and a musicians corner for the occasional show. Plus, a quirky jukebox.
Most of all, 45 Tchoup has that great, low-key New Orleans' neighborhood feel. Frank & Deb (plus Woody and Dean) are some of the friendliest bartenders in the city. And if there's a game going on, it'll be on the flat-screen TV's are behind the bar - especially dem Saint's and Debbie's beloved Red Sox games. And the bar prices are the same as you'd find at Parasol's. No food to speak of, except for special events.
While the bar space itself is comfortable, it's the people who run this place that make it the gem it is. Â You'll become a regular in no time - and be made to feel like one, too.
