Hasn't Missed Yet. Except for one lame college jam band, every act I've seen at Tipitina's has been well worth the cover. Great local bands, good atmosphere, and proximity to other cool hangouts make Tipitina's a winner.…
The city's storied home for local music legends and touring favorites..
The Scene
A bust of late R&B piano great Professor Longhair, the club's patron saint, greets visitors just inside the door to Tipitina's; his likeness also hangs over the stage, casting an
aura of respectability over the proceedings. Once the preeminent music venue in the city, Tip's (as it's known to locals) luster has faded somewhat with the success of younger clubs. The club's sense of history is undeniable, however, and its owners have wisely decided to play to that strength, unveiling a New Orleans Music Walk of Fame commemorating past and present pillars of the local jazz-R&B scene.
The Draw
This unpretentious space splits its fare between big-ticket artists like George Clinton and local rising stars like the Soul Rebels Brass Band. Rock, country, Cajun, reggae--it all gets played here.…
TIPS ROCKS!!!. A New Orleans institution!!! The House Of Fess. They've all played here. From members of the Stones, U2, REM, Widespread Panic, to local intitutions like the Nevilles, Funky Meters. Come to pass a good time!!!…

Tipitina tra-la-la. One of the greatest places on Earth. Great music and great bartenders. Don't forget to rub the head.
