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!

Live After 5 has been a BR event for decades now, highlighting local musicians and artists. Several food and alcohol vendors are set up if you need something, there's a VIP area, and the Davis Rhoer Plaza has a large lawn for seating. This year (Spring 2025), they have added some special touches, including presentations from the Baton Rouge Music Studio artists, young students who are learning to hone their skills showcase their talent for the attendees. Well behaved animals and children are welcome. They discourage you bringing your own libations, but just don't be obnoxious about it, and you're fine. Parking is all over downtown, the garage, the streets, lots (be sure you pay if you park in a lot). And then once the music wraps up, just head to any of the local bars as they usually have more live music to extend your day!

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.

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.

The food tasted good but the only items refilled were the breakfast items. There was only one person working the omelet station and he did that in between helping to replenish the other food.

Right when we arrived, a band called Night Hog start to perform. They were really good! They played on the first floor stage, and we sat at the seating right across from them. There was a dance floor in between us, but no one was dancing. We sat here for quite some time while we waited to bowl, so we kept going to the other side of the first floor to get drinks from the bar. Bar service was great! I never waited for a drink, and the bartenders gave good recommendations. Typical bar with plenty of cocktails and beers. When it was our turn to bowl, we went up to the 5th floor and got our lane. It is $25 an hour per lane, which I think is an amazing deal. At the lane, there are places to sit, tvs, tons of bowling balls and four total lanes. For bowling you were able to choose different games after you finished your round. I really like how they didn't make you change your shoes.. you could bowl in heels if you wanted. Show rental is free! This was an old warehouse converters into an event venue... just so cool. I love that each floor is different and there are bars in every floor, so you don't have to go back down to the first to keep getting drinks. Such a fun time!
