This is one of the longest standing bars in downtown Baton Rouge. They've survived all the…read morecraziness of the early 2020's and kept their name. Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.

There are plenty of seating options for couples or larger groups, and the sofas were sturdy, comfortable, and clean. The drinks were excellent, and the bartenders were attentive, friendly, and made each drink with care. I believe they offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and the happy hour menu includes several great drink options. I would definitely come back and grab a seat at the bar.

We went to Teddy's Juke Joint based on many website recommendations. I'm not sure how recently…read morethey've reviewed their list of venues or been there. It was absolutely terrible. We were scared. It's in the middle of nowhere. It is quite run down. We were the only ones there. It smelled dusty like an antique shop. The seats were busted. The floor was plywood in poor condition. There was no food. Sanitation was questionable. Teddy creepily stood by our table the whole time talking about conspiracy theories. The artist, Dixie Rose, was amature as best and talked to a YouTube audience the entire time in between playing. We left as soon as was polite because we were so remarkably uncomfortable.

This spot, Teddy himself, the decor, the location just all scream.... you're going to love it!!! I got there before the music started, got to visit with Teddy, hear the background of this beautiful establishment (the house Teddy was born in).... I will go back again & again!! Thank you Teddy for keeping the Blues alive in a this eclectic, beautiful place !!

We paid 5 bucks a person to enter and it covers all the game play you want minus the pinball machines in the back. They also have a bar in here. I did not try it on this visit but will next time. No food here if that's what you are looking for. There are a couple of booths to sit but it's so loud you can't have a conversation really. I took off a star because I do think this place needs more space. It is really cramped up and loud on busy weekend nights and a little hard not to bump into a couple of ppl while trying to get to the games in the building. Overall I will come back and recommend if you want to get out and do something fun. I really hope as they become popular they move into a bigger space.

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.
