Underage Paradise

by nola_girl76

I wouldn't bother going here if you're over 21. I'm 28 and the few times I ventured in here, it was like stepping back 10 years straight into a frat party. Of course I felt ridiculous, being by far the oldest person in there! It's strictly a college bar (Tulane, specifically; TJ Quills, the equivalent Loyola bar, is just down the street.) It's a shameless meat market where everyone's wasted on Bud light. I imagine you will love this place if you're a college freshman, otherwise, stay far away!

• Cons: annoying crowd

The quintessential frat hangout: sparsely decorated and crowded with neophyte bargoers.

The Scene
The crowd is a concentration of frat-boy types (mostly from nearby Tulane) who are eager for cheap drinks and bar burgers, along with those who have yet to discover the wide world of New Orleans bars. The smell of stale beer is a constant inside, but outdoor seating provides a multitude of attractions. An attached pizza shop and small convenience store attract walk-ins. The Boot sports a bare-bones feel much like college bars across the nation. A giant stuffed manta ray on the ceiling is the one nod to actual decorating. Renovations have made the bathrooms tolerable.

The Draw
There's no jukebox, and the music (mostly college and indie rock) is programmed by the comely bartenders. Other non-human attractions include a pool table, several video poker machines and a couple of video games.

Get used to it if youre in college

by jessrz

This is THE college bar for anyone at Tulane or Loyola. Every night of the week youll find people in there. Tuesday nights fifty cent drinks for 5$ cover. Fridays 3 for 1 happy hour. Every night of the week that you go out this is always a place to start a night or end a night or both. Gets mad raunchy past 4-5

• Pros: Inexpensive, Drink Specials

Fun

The Boot plays good music and is a fun place to drink and dance. It's always a good place to meet new people or hang out with your friends. The price of drinks is good. The bathrooms are disgusting.

• Pros: crowd, drinks, music
• Cons: dirty

Freshman paradise

Next door to Dinos. Good for pool, burgers, chicken sandwiches and drunk freshman any night of the week. The closest bar to campus (across the street), the Boot used to be the best deal in town for Thursday night--$2 ladies night=all you can drink. Horny co-eds abound waiting to close the deal. Also a good sports bar (satellite TV).

• Pros: pool, satellite TV, location
