The hottest place to see live music in New Orleans is not in the French Quarter, but uptown at the original Tipitina’s. Tip’s is a no-frills juke joint. There are no cocktail waitresses and no chairs; the 1000-capacity venue is standing room only. So what’s the draw? Top-notch local and national acts and a superior sound system. Tipitina’s hosts local artists including the Neville Brothers,...

Tipitina's began as a neighborhood juke joint, established in 1977, by a group of young music fans (The Fabulous Fo'teen) to provide a place for Professor Longhair to perform in his final years. The venue, named for one of Longhair's most enigmatic recordings "Tipitina," has survived in an ever-changing musical climate despite changing ownership and briefly closing in 1984. In the past 25...

Dedicated to the late piano master Professor Longhair (that's him in bronze just inside the entrance, pat his head for luck) Tip's is, if not the New Orleans club, still a major musical touchstone, and a reliable place for top local and out-of-town roots, brass, jam, and rock bands from Wilco to Band of Horses. (A few years ago at Tip's we saw Michael Stipe of R.E.M. serenade Patti Smith with...

The city's storied home for local music legends and touring favorites.

I went here twice last weekend and loved every second of it. There are so many great bands who have played here over the years. This is definitely part of NOLA music folk lore. The sounds was great for both gigs and the whole venue was bouncing. The bar staff were friendly and efficient I just didn't want the nights...

Still a favorite with both locals and tourists. Great venue, efficient bar tenders and well, just NOLA funk. No place to sit unless it's warm and you want to sit outside for a bit, but usually you don't care, especially if you like to dance. No need to get there early since you'll have to stand anyway. It exists for...

Tipitina's is a neighborhood music institution, located in Uptown New Orleans, that was founded in the late 70s to honor the legendary rhythm and blues great, Professor Longhair. This standing-room-only, banana-yellow venue, is the spot to catch both local and national acts. Tipitina's is open only when there is an event and features some of the best concerts you'll find in the New Orleans...

A success story of sorts, Tipitina's began as a simple juke joint and has since flourished into a popular music club with multiple outlets in New Orleans. The ardent fans of celebrated blues singer Professor Longhair would once come just to watch him perform. Today, Tipitina’s is an established music venue with a capacity of almost 1000 and stages concerts throughout the year. In past, the...

A staple of New Orleans music and culture since 1977 & one of the country's premier music venues

Know Before You Go

There's another Tipitina's on St. Peter's Street, the main drag of the French Quarter, but it's only open for private events.
