    This is such a weird building. I guess it's mostly an office building but we were there to tour an event space...that was much to small for our group. I know Tsunami (sushi restaurant) is on the top floor. I guess it's just not the sort of mixed use space industrial space that you expect to find in Baton Rouge. Mostly it leaves me confused.

    Crazy fun afternoon at Manship Theater.

    We came to the Shaw Center for Performing Arts to see a Christmas play with our two daughters. The theatre is small and I think that's great. It makes it a nice, cozy setting to see a show. We sat in the back row, against the back wall on the floor level. My reason for a four star review has to do with the audio. The performers either had microphones or there were microphones on the stage, but from time to time you could not here the performers and other times they were too loud and blaring. And also there was some feed back on occasion. I don't know if this is a regular problem but it was unappealing. The seating is good. We have sat in different spots at different visits and it seems that you can see the stage well from all different angles. The prices will always very from performance to performance but we have never really complained about high prices on tickets. I was really pleased to see the full bar available (even during a children's performance). They have wine, mixers, beer, soft drinks, water, etc. This is a great place to take a date for a show and then dinner and drinks at one of the nearby restaurants and bars.

    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.

    I really liked it inside here. I went for taco Tuesday and the tacos were BOMB. Montana gave us…read moreamazing service as well! The vibe was cute and colorful and the upstairs bar area was nice and intimate. I will be returning.
