2239 Saint Claude Ave. (Bywater) 504.945.4446. 7 days: late to 'tll.
Call ahead for shows. Closed on random days. A post-storm renovation brings this old punk music club dangerously close to looking like, as someone remarked, "a very nice steak house." New owners ripped out the drop ceiling, installed new booths, refinished the original woodwork and installed ceiling fans. All that work was part of a plan to turn the lowly Hi Ho into a jazzy Jazz Club, but recently the owners have started to book punk shows. The result is a music club that showcases local punk in a room with excellent acoustics and something most punk bands have never experienced: a sound man.
