    Dance floor
    Sera G.

    The best time downtown! Every time I want to dance I go here because the people are SO nice & everyone wants to dance! There's no shame in it & I LOVE IT. I moved here from Southern California, where in Los Angeles we have a whole strip of gay bars that I would always go to because they were always more fun than your basic bar. Also the drag shows are PHENOMENAL. Thank you Bolt, till next time!

    I had a very upsetting experience at Mother's Lounge during pub quiz night…read more I am autistic. I arrived late, did not have a team, and was standing alone in the corner trying to be unobtrusive. There was a small stage with a folding table where the quiz host was asking questions. Between questions, music would play while people wrote down answers, and I was singing along quietly. Staff told me to move away from the stage, and I did. Then they told me I was not allowed to sing along with the songs between questions and called it disruptive. The situation escalated from there. The context matters.This was a bar that does karaoke regularly, and there was already a loud song playing between quiz questions while people were writing down answers. I was singing along to music that was already in the room, not trying to interrupt the quiz or perform over anyone. I also stood as far away from the quiz participants as I could without going outside, and when I sang louder than softly, I turned toward the wall/corner because I was trying not to project into the room. Maybe the sound carried more than I realized, but my intention and my behavior were not careless or hostile. When I became visibly upset, they threatened to call the police if I did not leave immediately. I said I needed five minutes to gather myself and my belongings. They refused and told me I had to leave right then or they would call the cops. That is when I raised my voice. I understand venues have rules. But there is a big difference between enforcing rules and escalating an overwhelmed disabled customer who is trying to comply. This was humiliating and frightening, and I hope ownership takes disability awareness and de-escalation seriously.

    Things to Know: No Cover. Largely Male Clientele though their lady friends do frequently tag along…read more Sometimes there are a lot of ladies who love ladies in the establishment and other times you are banging your fist down on the bar and yelling "Where are all the freaking lesbians!" - Seriously, ladies of Baton Rouge, where are you all hanging out???? Anywho, prices are o.k. I won't say they are ridiculously cheap but not overpriced, I guess decent, hell, $6 for a shot of Maker's is pretty good I suppose. They DO have Karaoke but just on Wednesdays and Thursdays I've been told. Typical TV's that blare loud music - check. Stage for Drag Shows - check that (I finger snapped as I said this in my head). There's also a pool table, a cigarette machine, and a snack machine (well I am pretty sure there's a snack machine). There are male bartenders and looks like they have a female bartender as well - though it wouldn't hurt for management to hire another (Do ya'll hear me!). This place is SMOKY which was great for me when I smoked - not so pleasant now that I've stopped smoking. Bar closes down at 2pm, but this is Baton Rouge, which is lame, so all bars close at 2pm....Oh yes, this is a dive bar so no need to be all fancy, anything goes and anything appears to be appreciated. Sure hoped that helped.

    Service was okay the bartender was more interested in the game then us plus the drinks made us sick…read moreand we only had 2 of them and one shot each probably won't be back
