"Since 1977, Cooter Brown's has been a popular watering hole and sandwich shop. . . . Located in the historic Riverbend section of Uptown New Orleans, Cooter Brown's proudly serves over 400 brands of domestic and imported bottled beers, as well as 45 different beers on tap. . . . When in town, take a relaxing 30 minute ride on the beautiful St. Charles Ave. streetcar line from downtown (stop #43). Shop the Riverbend and join us for a pint, raw oysters, boiled crawfish, or one of our overstuffed po'boys."
–Cooter Brown's website
"Cooter's is home to not only countless television screens on which to watch the big game, but also a menu known for surprisingly good grub, including a host of creative variations on Philly sandwiches."
–Gambit Weekly
"The long row of fridges at Cooter Brown's Tavern & Oyster Bar. . . house a fine selection of bottled beer. Together with the draft beer selection, a patron practically needs a sommelier of the suds to help sort through it all."
–New Orleans Magazine
"The kitchen pumps out deep-fried or griddle-seared bar food with the best of them, with a specials menu that pays homage to former employees and regulars."
