I had not been inside since they eliminated smoking, and wow, what a game changer! Lots of TVs to catch the games and they'll put whatever you want to watch on. Cold beer on tap, several daiquiris, frozen margs, and my fave - the frozen crown and coke. Service with a smile. All great prices. I remember going to dollar burger night in the past, and it was always tasty. It's our beloved crawfish season again, and they waited until the price came down a little and the crawfish got a little bigger to finally have them on sale. Prices were reasonable this weekend for the pound, platter, or bucket. They are seasoned so well, not overly spicy (confirmed by our spice sensitive friend), but still had a nice kick (maybe if you're not from here, it is too much), but it was super tasty. The platter was just enough to fill me up! Who's ready to hit it up again next weekend? read more

Some of the best boiled crawfish in Baton Rouge! Check the schedule to find out when they have dem mudbugs. So juicy and plump and very well cleaned and washed. Their small pot batches are so much better than other places that use those huge rectangular pots. Secret recipe is the best all I have ever tasted! Service is stellar. Laid back atmosphere, u can eat them out back and watch the sunset over the lake or inside and watch the game while playing music on the touch tunes. 2 pool tables, 2 dart boards, video game golf, corn hole. Outdoor TVs. 21 and over. Great old school style daiquiris too. read more

Lakeside Bar & Daiquiri's - a plate of crawfish, potatoes, corn, and a beer - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This bar has it all. Good daiquiris, good beer and bomb.com crawfish. What more could a person want? Plus a great bartender (Carson) a clean and nice bar with tvs and it's perfection without being too highbrow. Love it, read more

The place is boring but a bar. Advertised food but no one would talk to us much less get menus

This place is hands down my favorite place in the whole of Baton Rouge, LA! Who doesn't want a 5lb bucket of crawfish? My husband and I ate one bucket each, which might sound like a lot but it was absolutely perfect. The crawfish are full of meat and taste amazingly fresh. We loved them so much that we tried to go multiple times whilst in the area. The Daiquiri's are also brilliant, and at 100 proof we only needed on each to have a good time. Along with our buckets of crawfish we also had a pitcher of purple haze beer which was refreshing and a great companion to our little crawdads. If you find yourself in Baton Rouge you have to get yourself here because you won't find value, atmosphere, or quality like it anywhere else! read more

See all

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Yesterday I bout crawfish yesterday and they tasted like dirt and we're super hard, the potatoes taste spoiled and the corn had so much spice my throat felt like it was on fire read more

Hope this is not a sign of things to come, but this was by far the worst experience that I've ever had at Lakeside. The crawfish were very small and mushy. I threw over half of the 5 lbs away. $50 down a rat hole. Don't know that I'll try again. read more

Always would pick up daiquiris on the go but last night I actually hung out here and this place is amazing. Very spacious with such a friendly staff. The drinks were perfect and the patio was huge. I highly recommend this place. I will be back! read more

Great atmosphere and crawfish better. Music. Crowd was friendly. Again great crAw fish.

The crawfish is AMAZING. It's one of my favorites in Baton Rouge. There is a tall, male bartender that is a pleasure. No matter how busy he is, he is always patient and friendly! read more

Came to Lakeside for the Tuesday night free crawfish and didn't complain! There is a $15 cover and you get free drinks and 3 lbs. of crawfish from 8-10 PM! Great deal and delicious crawfish. read more

Lakeside Bar & Daiquiri's - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Thank You.....$1 Dollar Burgers on Wednesdays...I haven't been there yet , but I'll be @ Lakeside tomorrow

This is my favorite place to eat crawfish in Baton Rouge. Not only are the crawfish the best, but the drinks are pretty tasty as well. It's also nice that there are pool tables, darts, and a jukebox to make for a pretty fun evening. My only complaint is that it is very smoky in there. read more

Not sure why all the reviewers love this place. I went to catch up with two friends for dollar hamburger night. I've probably driven by it thousands of times in my life, but finally decided to stop in. Like others have mentioned, it was hard to breathe in the bar due to the smoke - maybe wear a ventilator when you go. The hamburger was really dry and overdone, kind of like eating a piece of cardboard. Also, the bartender was all about that buddy lingo. I'm not your buddy, so don't "buddy" me. Three times in the course of a two minute conversation is excessive. The patio area outside is nice, though, home to a nice tabby cat who prowls the grounds. read more

as of tuesday 31 january 2017. the lighting out of the bar is horrendous. little to none. read more

Lakeside Bar & Daiquiri's - this is outside of the bar and there is little to none as far as lighting is concerned - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I heard this bar served crawfish and wanted to give it a try. Coming into the establishment, you see it is very dark and only light is at the bar and a little bit into the back room. It was a bit smokey when walking in. There were daiquiri making machines along the wall behind the bar. The bar was filled with people drinking and eating crawfish. It took about 10 mins to get the attention of a bartender. I ordered crawfish and got 3 lbs with an order of mushrooms. My order came out quickly and smelled good and spicy. The crawfish tasted good. Spicy and salty. It was a bit more saltier than what I enjoy, but was still good. There was, however a bunch of dead crawfish in the mix unfortunately. The Cajun boiled mushrooms were very spicy, but I still enjoyed it. Crawfish was good for its very reasonable price. May not be my favorite but I may give them another chance in the future. read more

Crawfish was amazing! Daquiris were pretty good as well. Bartenders were friendly and efficient. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is that im a non smoker. When I left, I smelled like an ashtray and my chest burned. Id still go back for the crawfish though! read more

Between my friends and I, we demolished three buckets and two platters of crawfish. Really good Southern crawfish that you don't get in California. By looking at the place from the outside, you would not think that they have really good crawfish, definitely a hidden gem. The local beers on tap and daquiris were really good as well. Typical bar scene with pool tables and darts. Being from California, I was not used to the indoor smoking so we ate outside on the patio. I would recommend this place for someone looking for really cheap but really good crawfish. read more

THE best crawfish and daiquiris I've ever had. It's tucked away and you wouldn't really expect it to be this good - I guess that's good because it's kind of a hidden gem and isn't ever as crowded as Sammy's during crawfish season. read more

They gave me a card and every time you buy a daiquiri, they punch a whole in it. Seems like a game I am willing to play! The drinks are very tasty. read more

Best crawfish and best daiquiris in town. I decided to check this spot out after I got a coupon from bargainbee.com. They claimed to have the best crawfish in town, and I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as spicy as I like to make it, but it was definitely more flavorful and more spicy than any other restaurant I've visited. After finishing the crawfish, we decided to try the daiquiris since they had such a good selection, and they were by far the best I'd found in Baton Rouge. Excellent! read more

Best place to have drinks and crawfish before LSU Baseball and Football Games or after work! Great atmosphere and great staff! Close to LSU campus and usually no wait to sit! Even if you have a large party this is a great place to enjoy some of Louisianas best crawfish and drinks! Beat the campus rush and venture a few miles off campus to Lakeside! You won't be disappointed! read more

I love Lakeside! My favorite part is dollar burger night on wednesdays. $1 for a giant burger (this ain't no mcdonalds burger) and not much more to put cheese on it and get fries - though I don't much like cheese on my burgers to begin with. If you like pabst, they're $1 pints on wednesday too, but I am not a pabst fan. Pitchers are $9 on wednesday, so bring a friend and you can both eat and drink a few pints for about $5... hard to beat. I hear monday is dollar sloppy joe night, and I definitely wanna go. My favorite beer is here too, Leinenkugel's sunset wheat. Tastes like froot loops, but gets ya drunk. My only complaints: the music inside is just a little too loud. Not unbearable, but it could be turned down a bit. You won't have to shout, but you will have to talk loud. You can go outside, but go early if you want a seat. That's my other complaint... the place is getting so popular it's tough to find a seat these days. But I still recommend it. read more

Great daiquiris but the smoky air is a bit much. If the weather is nice I suggest sitting on the patio to get out of the smoke. Overall the staff is friendly and dollar burgers are not bad for $1 plus a little extra for cheese. It's in a secluded area and not really in walking distance to anywhere so I recommend having the Uber app on your phone. The drinks are strong! read more

The food here is amazing! The dollar burgers on Wednesday are delicious. You really wonder how you can pay a dollar for something that good, and they aren't little either. The crawfish is so tasty - it is seasoned just right. They do crawfish specials on certain nights/times. They have a decent tap selection, including good ole PBR! The daiquiris are made with premium liquor, and you really can taste the difference. They have a great digital jukebox, pool tables, and darts. There is a huge outside seating area as well. I highly recommend giving this place a try, whether for food, daiquiris, or both. read more
