to be clear, systemically i have first hand experienced the Boot’s RACE PROBLEM, or racism, several times! My experience since 2023: typically when u come while Black the Boot bouncers will just monitor you inside. Tonight, on 10/11, boot bouncers asked for my group for their “college id”, as a further precaution to prevent black and brown entry. this is after showing, seeing that I am 20 and go to college! Lastly, 1/10 rating for their music playlist and dj most importantly. After inside for 20 mins, i’m still not sure why fr, but bouncers kept starting at me, flashing they flashlight in my eyes. so i said I’ll go, yall as i was leaving the bouncer pushed, shoved me and tried to trip & embarrass me which didn’t work. I initially, instinctively turned to to right hook Lunch Patrol, but instead of spraying tactical tummy in the moment like i wanted i tried leaving for the 2nd time. Show me that SAME energy when i see you next time big gut, Big Mac the protector.
just go to the boot if your desperate for a night with friends and racial profile isn’t something you care about— because you will get kicked out like me. breathing while Black, i wouldn’t trade it for the world. But the boot should change their tactics before something happens to their business. ideally the boot will modernize, show equality, and fire their calorie cops!

The boot is everything you’d expect from a college dive bar near Tulane campus. Despite what various authors in the Hullabaloo news room think, I definitely recommend this place for a basic draft beer or well cocktail. Once you’ve had a few of the aforementioned drinks, order a slice of pizza and enjoy the people watching!

Really awful staff. Lady at convenience store wouldn’t give me what I bought after I clicked no tip, then bouncer pushed me out when I called her out for it.

This bar is exceptional, with top-tier service and outstanding management. Be sure to ask for TJ—he’s one of the best.

Rude door young male person. He cursed a customer out.
If you go to Tulane you’ve most likely visited the Boot. A rite of passage for college kids.. yeah it’s a dump but what college bars aren’t! Loud packed and lots of drinks flowing. All in all a fun place to go have a drink (or three) after a game or before a graduation…
