We had the best time at Ray's Lounge! They often reference their establishment as classy, elegant…read moreatmosphere and truly it was! A very different vibe compared to most places in Lake Charles. My fiancé and I went on a Saturday night, it wasn't very busy at all. There was live music that night which was pretty cool as that's one of my favorite night out activities. We walked right in and grabbed a couch right across from the singer. For drinks we ordered an old fashion, lemon drop martini, blue moon beer. The drinks were very well made! As a snack we ordered the hot wings which were savory and yummy. Of note, they do not serve hookah anymore either (even though it's marketed as such). I don't really partake so not much of a disappointment for me but just an FYI for others. This was such a fun, local spot and I really enjoyed all the country, rock, pop hits from the band. This is definitely a place to check out when passing through Lake Charles.

9/12/2025: Great spot for a late night bite. They are only open on the weekends. I think they stay…read moreopen til 3:00 am. They have pizza and hot dogs. The pizzas are huge! We bought 3 pizzas for 5 people and had way too much left over. I don't know what my friend was thinking. The crust is good and the topping were fresh. They have a small space to eat in the restaurant. A little pricey as pizza goes, but everything in a casino is pricey. Supply and demand. I also got a alcohol sundae, which was very tasty. The staff were all nice (they put up with our loudness - oops - sorry, y'all). Sorry for the pizza picture. It was late. There were drinks. I am not responsible after a certain time. :)

The spot is small so it always feels like there's a crowd. Drinks are good and service is better. I always drop by during my visit to the casino floor. You should too.

We were seated and taken care of- but then waited almost an additional hour for food. We arrived at 6:30 and didn't eat until almost 8:30- which was a little frustrating. Again- I realize it was a Friday night, but have had much better experiences at the downtown location. I also got the Maui Salmon (my Go To!) and the shrimp wasn't peeled properly, but that's just me being extra picky. It was good, just very slow service.
