Louis Red Deutsch

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Louis Red Deutsch (September 16, 1895 - September 11, 1983) was a heavyweight boxer and later the owner of the Tube Bar, a tavern in Journal Square, Jersey City, New Jersey that he started in 1933 after the repeal of Prohibition. The bar, named for its address of 12 Tube Concourse, near the PATH subway station (colloquially known as the tubes), became a popular watering hole, especially with Deutsch's fellow boxers. According to Jim Davidson, Deutsch was known as The Tough Jew by police who frequented his bar. Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano was known to drink at the Tube Bar, and a photo of him and Deutsch at the bar is widely circulated among Deutsch's fans.
