In a city best known for its unbeatable music scene, it takes a lot to stand out in the crowd. Tipitinas, however, has been the leader of the pack for years and years, famous around the world as one of the premier live music venues in the entire world. It has the perfect atmosphere for watching some of the best live music available in the country, hosting both local and national acts. It is named for the song Tipitina by New Orleans piano legend Professor Longhair, whose face is painted on the wall above the stage, and who is memorialized near the entrance in a bust always touched by fans as they walk in.
