[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love a good sports bar, let alone bar food. Give me some good American fried food with a cold beer and I'm in ! This place is exactly that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plenty of TV's to keep up with your sports team and a good mouthwatering menu to choose from![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was extremely tentative and kept the drinks coming ! We ordered only their meat pies during this visit and they were SO delicious! A little kick of spice with them but very good! Highly recommend coming here rather it just be for drinks or to enjoy some delicious food from their menu as well, either way you can't go wrong with stopping by here! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice space, with plenty of options for sports watching.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was really good across the board. The only minor detractor was several local craft beers that weren't available (might have been from LSU's graduation over the past weekend). Definitely worth another visit! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Went there to watch a Saints came & I can dig the atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good af! The drinks were strong & good..they have a cheesecake egg roll with some friends had, they said it was super good! I had the cheesesteak eggroll with spicy ranch OMG!! They have a Tiger Tea which was pretty good. Strawberry margarita was very sour, I'm nnot use to that..On game days when LSU or Saints make a touchdown they give out free Fireball shots..overall I liked the place, definitely would go again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside & outside seating with tvs outside as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Apple maps and their own FB page shows they are open on Sunday. Went for lunch today and they were closed. Looks like they might be shut down. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Bengal Tap Room is a whole vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stopped in and had such a great experience, we had to leave a review. First off, their happy hour is ALL DAY -- yes, you read that right -- and the prices are unbeatable. Even with new ownership just three days in, the service is still on point and the manager is serious about making sure everyone's taken care of. The kitchen hours are a little different right now (they're figuring things out), but don't worry -- when it's closed, they still hook you up with FREE chili cheese hot dogs (with jalapeños, mustard, and onions if you want). Who does that anymore?! They don't currently have the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls (sad face), but everything else makes up for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is welcoming, the drinks are cold, and they truly make you feel like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a chill bar in Baton Rouge with amazing specials and heart? Come support Bengal Tap Room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They deserve it -- and we'll definitely be back! read more

This place is DEFINITELY NOT my go to! Bar staff is terrible. Feeding their own faces and chatting amongst each other instead of attending to customers sitting RIGHT in front of them. 4 customers versus 4 bar staff and NOT ONE of them asked how our food was or if we needed anything after our food was delivered. I finally got the attention of the female who was vaping. Meat pies BURNT, French dip was ALL bread. ONLY 2 STARS for the beer. read more

I loved Bengal Tap Room! A great bar, not too much going on to feel unsafe, but still a great place to go as a young person in BR. It's not stuffy, and you'll find people of all ages having conversations over great music choices. My moscow mule was delicious and the bartender was super nice which made me want to come back another day. read more

I live downtown and it's sad that this is our best dive bar to grab a beer and food. The bartenders are amazing and they have a lot of beers on tap. However, you can tell all of the food comes out of the frozen section of Costco. We're in Louisiana everyone can tell when you half ass a food menu. Do better guys. read more

Let's start with the FREE brunch they do on Sunday mornings. Now, I'm not sure if this is an every week thing, but we went to watch a soccer match. The brunch had everything from eggs to biscuits to sausage to hash browns, and it was really great. Throw on top of that some really well made bloody mary drinks at an awesome price, or mimosas or a few other cocktails, and you have a great morning! The next experience to talk about is when we headed over there after a good night at the HRC - our run club down the street. Service was amazing and super friendly, and the variety of beer was vast. They have a rotating special burger each week. I can't remember exactly what the burger was, but i went with the regular burger. ((This week was a bacon and brie burger - man, I wish I could have made it downtown for that!)) Finally, we went there on a quiet Saturday afternoon, before the business of the evening began. We were pleased with the sandwiches we got, paid with a nice good ole Jucifer. Perfect before a good stroll downtown. All in all, Bengal Tap Room is a refreshing addition to downtown. read more

February 2021 updated review. A 4% debit or credit card surcharge fee?! If you are going to impose a specific fee then at least let the customer know ahead of time! Until this fee changes, we won't be back. I would've paid cash if you gave a heads-up. We do like when Colette is working. She's a cutie. read more

Stopped in here twice while staying in Baton Rouge. There are a lot of bars but this one was one of the best. Lots of space, a patio, an Awesome Bartender - Dannie (she was great, cool, upbeat fun attitude), and fun people. I love beer and had been to a lot of tap rooms all over Louisiana but this one stands out as the best for the quality of beer. 36 Taps is awesome but more than that - they had great beer. Great IPA's, Pale Ales, Lagers, Locals, Nationals and they had a CBS - Canadian Breakfast Stout that was perfection!! I don't always drink them but this one is off the hook delicious. Dannie is super personable and fun, friendly, appropriate! There were 3 guys visiting and looking for trouble on a Monday night (not a bar's most happening night) and they whooped it up and Dannie danced and had fun with them, which kept them from getting too out of hand - just enough to be fun for everyone. Also, a very nice wine selection and all the cocktails one can ask for. read more

It's should be simple. It's a bar. I just need decent bar food. I wanted to settle in. I wanted this to be the spot to watch football. The wings were underdone. I finished one beer, paid, and left. Wings went unfinished. Be better...just a little. read more

Bengal Tap Room is absolutely one of the most chill bars here in Baton Rouge. They have $5 pitchers of domestic beer on Mondays and $3 glasses of house wine on Thursdays. There are other specials during the week too like $3 mimosas on Sunday. There are TVs along the wall if you want to catch a game. There is a pool table if you want to play with a friend. Outdoor seating is available if you want to get some fresh air. They have some pretty cool craft beers on tap, and their cocktail menu is pretty cool too. They have food and food specials during the week. The bartenders here are the best in Baton Rouge. They cut people off if they drink too much and make sure they get home safe. I love it. read more

Killer happy hour and great service. Ashley and Sean were awesome. Thanks @ChrisFarr for the recommendation. Next time we're in Baton Rouge we will be back for cheese fries and cheap beers. Cheers! read more

They brought back the Salisbury steak burger so I had to go back and get it with Swiss cheese. One of the best life decisions I made that week. Got my veggies in with a bloody Mary. read more

Let's get one thing straight: this is not a sports bar. I came in to watch the NCAA selection show, and while there are a ton of TVs, the only TV showing any sports was a USL soccer game (Birmingham vs. Tampa Bay, what a matchup!). When I asked the bartender to put it on, he looked at me like I was from outer space. I guess LSU fans are out of luck here, sorry, can't watch Tigers play Florida, we have bowling and MASH reruns to show while the jukebox plays Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo. Ordering a drink was like getting blood from a stone. Had to walk the guy through how to make a Jameson and ginger - yikes. Steer clear of this place - awful. read more

We ended up here after plans fell through to go next door, and it was a good thing. The men in the party got to get some good beer, and we shared some appetizers, and I tried the burger special. What I wouldn't get again: the spinach and artichoke dip. It was underwhelming, under-seasoned, with what appeared to be store-bought pita chips. I would also pass on the fried pickle spears. They were ok, just average, and I prefer pickle chips. The waffle fries served with the burger were also standard fare. They were seasoned with rock salt that fell to the bottom of the basket and therefore left me with bland fries. What I would get again: the burger special. I believe this rotates but I don't remember the frequency--we had a burger with fried green tomato, bacon and I believe pimiento cheese. It was a flavor explosion and really hit the mark. The meat pies were also freshly fried--be careful to let the filling cool or you will end up with burned taste buds! I was too full to try the wings, but they were really large and looked extremely appetizing. All in all, I was a great experience. It's a pretty extensive menu for a beer pub and the prices are really reasonable for what you get. It was a comfortable atmosphere to sit and listen to music or watch a game. While we don't find ourselves in downtown BR all that often, this is a place worth returning to. read more

I came here while in Baton Rouge for business and they over charged me. My tab was $12 and I tipped $2 but they charged me $34 instead of $14. I called to ask for a refund and they were not eager to help. The bartender said a manager would have to call me back but they never did. On top of all that the bartender who served my group wasn't friendly. There are alot of great bars in BR and I would recommend checking those out over this. read more

So I found this place walking around on a Monday in Baton Rouge. Everything else was closed and I just stumbled on to it. Great little spot, lots of drafts and bottles and the food was pretty good The wings are really good and the prices are great. Perfect little spot when you're in town and want just a beer or mixed drink and some snacks. Great staff, very nice bartenders and comfortable vibe read more

Love you all so much, but please for the love of brunch bring back the pimento BLT! I miss it. I need it. Bring. It. Back! read more

Cute little spot. Somewhat of a slow service but over all a great atmosphere. Great location right on 3rd st in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to a lot of all the main attractions. If you're looking for a place to end the night it's not a bad choice. read more

Really good food and lots of beer choices! Patio, pool and great TVs with sound. Ask for Montana :-) read more

If your looking for a casual friendly bar to hang out in while in BTR you must check out the tap room. Place is very reasonable food very enjoyable and we found it very reasonable. Also if you're a beer drinker "just do it!!!!" I would be remiss not to mention my boy Trent. Knowledgeable about menu local craft beers and gave us Great trip advice. "Hey Trent see ya'all next time through" read more

Lol....woohoo! Indeed....thanks bengal for saving the mimosa crawl...we had been pretty much disappointed until we stayed at you guys the entire rest of the time.....boudin balls and the wings! We had a special on shots, thanks for the recommendation of the starburst ones read more

The burger was good but was extremely similar to backyard burger and their wings are good as well. It was a really cool atmosphere and nice people with fast service. read more

Can't talk about dinnertime or nightlife but lunch here is totes chill. Lot's of tv's and everything on the menu that I've had has been satisfying although I usually get the chicken sandwich. Lot's of beers and specials every day (but none are active during lunch) make this a spot to check out when you have a hankerin for a bite and a brew while your downtown. read more

Phenomenal service in the middle of a pandemic. Our server, Corea I think her name was, gave us excellent service and was attentive the entire time. Will definitely be back again, and i highly recommend this barstraunt for anyone reading! read more

Worst chicken wings I've ever had in my life. I'm dead serious like these were literally the worst chicken wings I ever tasted. U could soak them in ranch and they would still have this distinct taste of garbage disposal juice Infused with the chicken meat. The mild Buffalo sauce was extremely bland and gave no help in masking the taste of the rotting corpse chicken limbs. So sick and gross. read more

Great drinks. Not pricey at all. Great specials. Pet friendly. Hopefully I can come back when they utilize their stage.

Excellent atmosphere, courteous staff, mouth watering food selection, extensive drink selection topped off with very competitive prices. Love it. read more

Really nice atmosphere. Wasn't packed while I was there but definitely not a dry feeling. Staff is very personable and was nice to have good conversation while traveling for work. Food was great. 10 wings and a massive salad for 20 bucks. Tons of local brews as well. Great selection for every type of beer. read more

After hours happy hour, had amazing $2.50 shots, but the bartender was not very concerned with taking care of her customers. She was texting the entire time. I may go back for the shots, but will expect the same crappy service. read more

Come on Tuesday after running at Happy's to get a $5 burger and $3.50 Tin Roof pints. (You don't have to run obviously, but it's a nice post workout reward.). Pretty cool atmosphere here and they have indoor/ outdoor seating. Tons of TVs to keep up with current sporting events too. read more

Really outstanding food. We went for lunch and had the special- which includes some of the best greens ever- and a sandwich. Dessert was great. It all tastes like it was certainly homemade. Next time we're in town, we'll definitely return. read more

Cutest little gay bar downtown. Short shorts everywhere. Haven't been called "sweetheart" so many times in my life.

Landry is one great guy. Service was 10 stars. I enjoyed my special made wings and he knows his craft beers! #positiveandlovely

Excellent Customer Service! We held an event at Bengal Tap Room last week and had great support from the Manager, Montana, in arranging all of our details. Not only the the tap room easy to find, it was the perfect place to hold our pre-game party with plenty of beer and food options. Following our event I accidentally forgot my laptop and didn't realize for several hours until I made it home to Houston! But staff, Tanika and Sara, were a tremendous help packaging it up securely and helping to ship it back to me. They even wrote me a Happy Thanksgiving note! I hope to go back soon! Thanks, Bengal Tap Room! read more

Bengal Tap Room is the best low key bar downtown. It's not too loud and is a great place to meet some friends after work or late night to catch a game. The service could be faster, but every bartender I've ever had has been extremely friendly which makes up for the short staffing. My boyfriend and I go often and have never been disappointed. read more

This is just a good place to grab a beer. Really enjoy the bartenders. Lots of TVs to watch games on. Music at a good volume for conversation inside and out. The patio is pet friendly - and there's almost always a patron with a dog. The food is stellar, but the kitchen closes at 10. read more
