Louis "Red" Deutsch 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, became a popular watering hole, especially with Deutsch's fellow boxers.
