This beer bar and seafood joint is always easy to find, located as it is on the river at the foot of St. Charles Avenue. With 400 brands of bottled beer and 45 on tap, Cooter's caters to the frat boy determined to conduct his own drinking tour of the world. In fact, they encourage such behavior, offering a ''passbook'' so you can keep track of just which countries you've ''visited.'' When it all becomes too much for your stomach, try some of their excellent bar food, including a raw oyster bar, solid po-boys, and some of the best cheese fries in town.

You can also enjoy standard sports-bar amenities like pool, video poker, and sports - this bar contains no less than eight widescreen TVs and an all-sports satellite system. Cooter's other main distinguishing feature is the ''Obeertuary and Barsoleum'' sporting caricatures of dead celebrities, carved figurines holding a specialty beer that relates to their life somehow. Here's Alfred Hitchcock hoisting a Rogue's Dead Guy Ale, there's Judy Garland with a bottle of Germany's own Hexen Brau. Witches' Beer. Get it?
