The parking can be a bit tricky for some who haven't been yet but it's easy to figure out. I love the atmosphere and how they pay attention to a wide variety of scenes from Emo and Goth Nights to Disco and Fairy Raves. The staff is always nice and the service runs smooth every time. The bar seems to provide drinks quickly throughout the night. I've never had a bad experience at Chelsea's even when I lost my phone and I will continue to attend concerts and shows there. I've brought all my friends and they've all had a great time as well. Definitely in my go to places for a fun night out alone or with friends!

I've been to numerous events here, from private events to public, and this is pretty good venue. I…read moredo wish it was a little easier to get to. Waze tends to send to through some areas I don't want to drive solo through, so I usually detour. Parking can be slightly sketch at night, and be aware if you're in heels, you may have to park in gravel/large rocks under the interstate. You are parking at your own risk, so don't leave valuables out. Staff is always there to greet you with a smile. I've never encountered any employee there who didn't seem to be in a pretty good mood. The floor space is large with lots of standing room. Depending on the event, they'll throw some high top tables around. There are two bars, each pretty big, and the bartenders are very attentive, looking around for the next person to serve (which is good because I am short and can get lost under some people). The drinks are a bit pricey, but the liquor is pretty good with a variety. The private events I have attended were well run and staff members were very helpful for those who rented it. The public events are also very well done. Chelsea's Live brings in some pretty big names, so keep your eye out for future events. They also highlight local artists. The stage is high enough to where you can see who's on it no matter where you are in the place. I do wish it was a little easier to get to, but it is certainly worth attending some great shows there!

As one of the city's most versatile and treasured venues, the Varsity Theatre is known well by the…read moreBaton Rouge faithful as a great place to see a show. Located just outside of the LSU campus, it has been a mainstay in the area for decades. While it's mainly concerts that rock this venue, I've attended corporate events, watched LSU Tiger games, and enjoyed a show or two in years past. I've always enjoyed my time here. Not to be confused with a cinema, this multifaceted venue has played host to a number of events and has partnered with many organizations both local and national to feature great acts and some for great causes. My favorite event in the past was a Saints game night, where for $12 one got unlimited beers (Bud Lights only?) and all the hot dogs one could eat, as well as red beans and rice. If that deal is still available, I'll be floored. The parking isn't the most friendly. Street parking is usually that is available and it's more luck than anything else. The Varsity is in good company with a number of other super famous establishments located within the same block. Figuratively, one could chow down at Chimes, play games at Barcade, drink their face off here, and then head to Louie's or Raising Canes for some late night food. This is such a prime location that it's great for a solid casual night out. From concerts to comedy nights, there is literally not a thing that this place can't host. While I do wish for a slightly better men's bathroom, unsightly conditions do happen at places that holds hundreds of people at a time. Peep their schedule on their website and social media for what's happening next.

My first time going here after passing it for many years. I saw R&B artist Tamia and had a…read morewonderful time. The only negative would be parking. The parking lot is behind the building and is not big at all. Fortunately we were able to park across at LSU visitors parking lot and walk about 3 minutes down to the venue. The line was wrapped around the building but it moved quickly. I did will call tickets and had no problem with my name being found on the list. There was a bar with about 10 barstools set up but those were taken. I would suggest being first in line to get a seat at one of these. Upstairs had a few tables but once again those were taken. I ended up watching the show against the wall next to the railing and had a good view of everything. I had a Basic Bitch drink which was surprisingly good. Drink was huge and was only $11. I will definitely look for more events at this venue.

This place is a vibe. @Court To Table really blends that sports & social scene perfectly. Big outdoor patio, indoor & outdoor pickleball courts, and plenty of space for groups or events. I didn't try the drinks this time, but they've got a full bar line up. I'm definitely circling back for sure! What we ordered: * Mozzarella Sticks * Firecracker Shrimp * Garlic Knots * Smoked Wings * Spinach Artichoke Dip The Apps are a heavy hitter, like my drives (pun intended) but, everything hits; especially those top 3. This is the perfect spot to eat, play, and just hang out. Tonylameats Approved

And when you drive by this bar, you may think it's closed too as it's super dark looking from the outside except for the bar sign and the gas lanterns. It gives that speakeasy vibe. Nice you walk in you'll see where the party is happening. Multiple spaces within bar, each offering its own character. The seating gives off a relaxed vibe with couches and carpets a long the floor. Order drinks at the bar and then a place to lounge. The menu offer some unique drinks, including a caviar drink that will set you back somewhere in the low 30s. Worth a visit just for the vibes. Definitely a unique place in Baton Rouge.

The music is loud and the speakers sound like they're about to blow. The music changes from country to old school hip hop to new shit I've never even heard of, quite the interesting mix.

It wasn't crowded at all, but this *was* the night before Thanksgiving, so that made sense. That said, there was a decent group of regulars that seemed to love the place. And we can see why. As the other reviewer mentioned, this bar caters to an older crowd (baby boomers with a sprinkling of Gen X), which isn't to say that younger people wouldn't be welcomed ... but the shenanigans that sometimes comes with being younger would be out of place here. Don, Jared and the Konspiracy was the band last night, and they did a fine job of playing classic rock standards that kept the dance floor busy. The food at the back (jambalaya) was a really nice touch, and the bartender did a wonderful job of keeping everyone topped up with good cheer. We're glad to have discovered this locals hangout and we'll definitely be back.

As a former bartender, I am not a fan of college crowd bars or bars where the owner is wasted and causing drama. Im not a fan of drama, period. I like an older crowd that you can have fun with, drink with, dance with, etc. The owner is awesome, as are the regulars. When the dancing gets going, they salt the floor! Cap'n & Gayle do karaoke on Friday nights and it's the absolute best in town!!! if you're into karaoke you have to check it out! Not to mention, Friday nights, band nights, game nights and special events they have food cooked. I know you're thinking "yea, ok bar food". No. I'm talking home-cooked crock-pot food. I will bet that the chicken & dumplings are the best 99.9% of people that try them have EVER had. For LSU football they've got a projector screen and the game going on loud. Commercial breaks they put on 98.1 or the fight song, etc. Definitely my favorite place to watch the game. Long review but there's so much greatness about this place I know I'm forgetting to mention a million things.
