Boot

Description

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. 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.
