We walked into Coop's several years ago and were lucky to find room (at an already-crowded table in back). Enjoyed the Shrimp Creole! I wandered through the back door in search of the restroom and found some employees stirring a concoction of gumbo in the biggest pot I've ever laid eyes on...right out in the open air. Looking forward to returning one day, maybe this spring?
That sounds about right! It's a fun li'l place to land to just have a drink at the bar, too. I feel like it's definitely retained its French Quarter je ne sais quoi, and is 100 percent worthy of a visit anytime you're in town. The other place we like a lot is Golden Lantern (which is a straight-up bar ... no food, fyi!).

We'll check out Golden Lantern! We like Erin Rose and the shrimp poboys in the back (Killer Poboys). :D
We have not tried those yet. On the list!
I want to give the possum scritches but am afraid of the thousands of needle sharp teeth.
He is asleep most of the time, so there are little windows of possible scritches!
I would like to go to Coopers!
The next time you are here, we will take you there! And we'll go visit the possum, too. Hopefully I will have gotten a formal introduction by then.
