You really never can go wrong with Calandro's. A Baton Rouge staple for decades, this is a great…read moreplace to find all sorts of unique beer and wine, and some amazing deserts. Known for their delicious and diverse king cakes, they have all sorts of treats and special items. If they don't have it, they can usually order it as well. I was searching for a unique beer to bring some friends, and they have one of the largest and most unique selections in the state. The list of beers is growing every week as well. It's almost overwhelming all the different types, but hey, just go back and get another kind later! Their chicken salad is probably the best in town. It has flavor and larger pieces of chicken, so it's not a spread like others in town. Their pimento spread is great for parties as well. They have tons of different cheeses and olives and different Calandros brand goodies. Their produce is always fresh and reliable. They don't tend to cater to special diets, so if you have special dietary needs or restrictions, you may have to go to another store for those. But by nature, you can find items that will work for you. Top all of that with friendly owners, friendly staff, and friendly people all around, and it always makes an enjoyable shopping experience!

Tucked away in a calm little shopping center with a shade tree and benches, Martin Wine and Spirits…read moreoffers a broad selection of many treats - wine, liquor, mixers, cold prepared cheese trays, breads, dips, and bar accessories. The staff here is super friendly and very helpful, ensuring you leave with something that will make you or your loved ones happy. I've visited several times, sometimes with something in mind to grab, other times needing a little help from the staff, but I have never left disappointed. This location does not have a deli, but they have many treats and, as I said, some refrigerated goods. Be sure to join their email list so you learn about different wine tasting events and various specials and sales. Skip the big stores and grab your needs from the professionals!

We were looking for wine and I found the closest liquor store to where we were at. And Mike said…read morebefore we went in that I better get ready to leave if someone gave us shite. I said ok knowing that we can get along with anyone. I walk in and immediately see all of the cheap wine available there so I started taking pictures of it and Mike went looking for the buzz balls that are super tasty like a mild mudslide and he grabbed 4 of them while talking to an old man in the back of the place. So I grab 2 bottles 1 Gallo Cabernet Sauvignon and 1 Gallo Moscato sweet white wine which were $5 bones a piece and we got up to the counter and Mike offered to buy the old man's wine!! And then they loved us! The place was very clean and low shelves across the room!

As for the food, it's a creative Indo-Western fusion concept that definitely caught my attention! I was especially excited to try the butter chicken ramen. While the flavors of the butter chicken were rich and well-executed, the ramen was underwhelming, because it just looks like it's Maruchan (instant noodles) making the dish feel a bit mismatched. The sides that came with the naan short rib sandwich aka tater tots has the same seasoning as another side dish (the debris fries), so there wasn't much contrast or variety in flavor.

If you are in downtown Baton Rouge, this is a spot to not miss if you like Rum. This distillery…read moreoffers a variety of rums that you can try through flights or experience in a variety of traditional cocktails or in frozen mix drinks. Each drink is handcrafted. The rum and cocktails made for us were solid. The bartenders were awesome. Great interaction with guest. Bartenders were very knowledgeable of the distillery plus the drinks they were pouring. I appreciated the enthusiasm. The distillery is very nice space. The distillery offers bar seating, lounge chairs and tables. Plus there is an expansive outdoor seating area. As the distillery does not offer food, they often coordinate food trucks to enjoy with your drinks. A crawfish boil was going on the day we were there. At the distillery you can purchase bottles of rum to go. Plus they sell various shirts to me and women. Distillery owns a parking lot adjacent to the building. Parking is free. Inside scoop: the distillery offers tours for 15 dollars

If I could rate this place a 100/5 stars I would! I planned a small birthday gathering for my…read moreboyfriend's 33 birthday this past weekend and it was amazing. I wanted a great place with a chill vibe and great drinks and they did not disappoint. The service was amazing and the drinks were perfect. I got their raspberry frozen drink and also tried their flight of rum which comes with over six different types of rum, light and dark. The bartenders were so sweet and they made amazing drinks all night. I also tried their old fashioned and fresh mint mojito ( taken directly from their herb garden)! Everything was done perfectly. They have a nice, large patio outside with plenty of room to sit. They have board games, darts, large Jenga, and more. We were able to spend quality time with family and friends and enjoy the night. We were also allowed to bring our own food from outside which was perfect for the occasion. I cannot wait to come back to such an amazing place located right downtown next to Ballys casino. They also offer tours of their distillery for a great price! Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy a great beer. The place is dog friendly and the crawfish smelled great (they weren't ready yet or we'd have tried some).

They have caribeaner clips to clip your dogs leash to on the picnic tables, dog bowls, human grade dog food for $5, ice cream for dogs, dog themed alcohol, and a yard for your dog to go to the bathroom. They have giant space heaters hanging from the ceiling, lots of shade, a projector so I guess they have movie nights, and little campfire areas. They have an area where people sing and the band plays. Tons of beer options and non alcoholic beer too. They give out dog treats as well. They have a little food truck with a good amount of options, not just meat pies. Hope this helps. Give it a like if it does! I forgot to take pictures.
