Best sports bar in New Orleans. If you're not a sports fan but looking to see what Saints fandom looks like, head down the St. Charles Street carline to Cooter Browns. Enough TVs to show every game.

Nicole Cheramie

There's sports bars and then there's Cooter Browns. With TV 's all over you'll find locals here on game days. Raw oysters , burgers and fries , & two bars , come here to unwind after play at Audubon Park .

Manny Ferro

Might be my favorite place to watch games. Plenty of tvs including a wall-sized one. Oyster bar and lots of beer variety. For regular bar food I recommend the bayou po-boy

Tasha Burton

The bartender was sweet as pie ! I had the snakebite (cider & lager ) and it was delicious. Got a grilled chicken caesar and it was tasty as well . So glad I went with my gut and stopped by!

Order beer at the bar , oysters at the side bar towards the main room, and food just to the right as you walk in the front room. Like 3 different places to order/pay.

Roman Kasprzyk

Nice choice of beers . Fresh oysters and other kind good food.

Ruben Flores

The best place to watch the Champions League in town . Also, the food improved a lot with the menu revamp!

Geoffrey Gauchet

No gravy fries on the menu, but just ask and they'll pour gravy on your fries for you. Grab a fork.

Meg Mertz

Boudin balls are out if this world! Love the decor with the wooden faces of celebrities!

Gambit New Orleans

Head to Cooter Brown's to watch the game! Stocked with TVs and a feasting menu of po-boys, burgers and fried goodness--not to mention plenty of beer--you can't go wrong.

Kim Shofstahl

New ownership - wonderful upgrade and game day atmosphere! Service fast and thorough!!!

Lears Fool

Meat pies , raw oysters , and shrimp poboy : Saints Football Trinity. One of the best sports bars on the planet.

Glenn Barnett

I want to like CB’s - I read the reviews & the menu, trip #1 is OK, 2nd trip is questionable and you finally figure out the food is bad & the vibe of the people that run the place is f$&@ off. Wow.

Matt Gentry

This place is great and has the NHL Center Ice package. One of the few places we were able to find in New Orleans to watch NHL games. Beer selection is awesome and food is good too.

Kat Robinson

Both the Looter's Philly and the fried oyster po'boy are exemplary.

Glenn Barnett

their Irish sandwich that’s so good

Jeff Byrnes

Catfish poppy is the jam , and the boudin balls are tasty

Glenn Barnett

pretty good spot but their food quality and flavor is so spotty

Susannah Clemons Bicknell

Great place to watch sports , and drink beer ! They have decent food too. Great atmosphere...I love Cooter Browns!

James Popp

Being 2000 miles away from Chicago, the Chicago dog is surprisingly inauthentic. Still a good place

kelli baggins

Great bar for beer !! I miss this place! Go during the day to avoid hipster frat boys. Eat, Drink, & be Merry!!!

Kol

1 pond of crawfish plate and 1 dozen of raw oysters did the trick!

Chantel Weeden
