Tipitina's

Tipitina’s is a cornerstone of New Orleans culture, established in 1977 to honor the legacy of blues legend Professor Longhair. Located at the corner of Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas Streets in the Uptown neighborhood, the venue is housed in a historic building that previously served as a gambling house and gymnasium. Its rustic atmosphere and storied stage offer an intimate, high-energy setting that captures the authentic spirit of the city, making it a landmark destination for any visitor. While celebrated for its deep musical roots, Tipitina’s frequently serves as a premier space for stand-up comedy and arts festivals. The venue has hosted acclaimed performers such as Hannibal Buress and Tig Notaro, offering a soulful, historic alternative to traditional comedy clubs. Whether attending a touring headliner or a special showcase, a night at "Tip’s" provides a unique blend of legendary history and vibrant performance in one of the most famous rooms in the South.
