Igor's Checkpoint Charlie, New Orleans

My band was playing a few blocks away at the Always Lounge and we swung by Checkpoint Charlie's for a bite before the show. At first I was disappointed, since I was craving an oyster po'boy and some redbeans, but all I needed to know was learned one bite into the Cajun Burger. I was blown away. The place is about as dive as you can get, but the music's good, the bartender was friendly, and the burger was out of this world. I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm playing in the neighborhood.

This was a place like no other... From the first intimidating impression to realizing this place was filled with a home town spirit and fun. Everyone was very kind and made you feel as if this was your hangout. All the bands are great and approachable. The food is good. Definitely a must visit and experience.

I like the fact that no matter where you stand you can always see and hear the band. Plus the foods not bad.Plus I like the fact that I know any given night I can go there and hear good music, Its like a guaranteed good time!

A cool place with a great band the night I was there. The Chronomatics are young guys with original music that rocked the place. I'll go back! A super crowd and a place to dance. Does it get any better?

great if you are sick of bourbon st and you want some local music. we saw the mountain sprouts and i was laughing so hard i almost fell off my barstool. we had a great time. we go there everytime we visit. you are guaranteed to have a blast and catch some great music. anja and joe.

The place was pretty cool. I went there tonight (March 25th) and I saw the Saltines. They were great. The music sounded good in the room. It was small and personal and comfortable.

This place was wonderful. I really ejoyed the band that was playing "THE HANGOVER OUTLAWS". I definitely recommend this place to others and my friends and I will be there every Thursday to watch the "Hangover Outlaws".
