The people were very friendly - owners, staff and other patrons. The bar is really nice - larger than expected with cool artwork (the saltwater aquarium is also a nice touch). All sorts of people were there - the L, G, B and T were all represented. Great patio in back. I'd be happy if this bar were in my neighborhood in Houston!

Listen, I grew up in a small town. My first gay bar was in a small town. ...and I spent MANY nights…read moreat the small town gay bar. I know all about being the only gay bar in a hundred or more miles. I'm sure the owner of The Chute (named Bobby, story to follow) has a hard time keeping the doors open when you don't get many customers, and as such you've probably got to try and appeal to more than just the few gay folks in your town. It's listed on Facebook as an 'accepting alternative club' - whatever that means. On the night we went, there was a drag show. I feel bad for these girls, because we had no cash on us to tip. We were there to kill time and have a drink, sadly without cash. The emcee did her best, bless her heart, but her shtick focused on harassing or yelling for Bobby every third word. She couldn't tell a story without yelling at Bobby. Get it together, sweetheart. She also carefully explained the 'bathroom situation' which meant essentially that boys go in the boys room no matter how they're dressed, and girls in the girls room. This is probably something they've had an issue with - or perhaps local laws force them to repeat this - who knows. It just felt a little heavy-handed when I prefer nights like this to be more light-hearted. The drinks were a little light on the alcohol, the cover charge was inconvenient, the inside was tiny and a little cramped - but I know they're trying to make the most of it. Best of luck to you, Bobby.

Allure Ultra Lounge is one of two nightlife spots connected to the El Dorado Resort and Casino on…read morethe Shreveport riverfront. Allure is the upstairs, while sister club Celebrity Lounge is downstairs. There is one DJ for both floors, but there's a larger dance floor at Celebrity. Surrounding the dance floor at Celebrity are comfy chairs and tables, so if you need a break from shaking your groove thing, you don't have to go far. Keep in mind, this is Shreveport we're talking about, so don't go in expecting a nightclub reminiscent of your bachelor party in Vegas or Miami Beach. But the music is bumping, the liquor flows like, well, liquor, and everyone there is just looking to have a good time. During my visit, DJ Diamond (http://www.dj-diamond.com/) was womanning the turntables. I must admit that the most "alluring" part of the club was the DJ camera that seemed to always be focused on her bountiful, bouncing you-know-whats. This is not a bad thing. My brother and his friend were involved in a fierce battle about how much actual mixing Diamond was doing, but I didn't care. I was happy to pump my fist to Party Rock Anthem and enjoy the view from the balcony down to the main dance floor and stage where Diamond was sparkling. Grab a few friends, put on your fancy shoes, hit the casino and then make your way to Allure. You won't feel like you're in Norther Louisiana.

The bouncers at Celebrity were incredibly rude and the club was dirty. Definitely won't be back.read more

I definitely recommend the Celebrity Lounge to anyone wanting an upscale evening of entertainment or music! It's well worth the money if you able to afford it if you reserve a set. The customers are of excellent caliber and you can always make a friend if you have come alone.

The Kourtyard in back holds a decent crowd and both inside and out have stage areas. We randomly stopped in when they were having a hip-hop/R&B DJ competition and it was so much fun and good energy! The only reason this place didn't get a 5 is because this fabulous place has the worst women's bathroom! The doors look slipshod and don't lock, there wasn't any soap the entire night, it was dirty & not OK. But the club is definitely a place we will return to. There was a food truck outside selling wings and it smelled amazing.

My overall experience was very tainted due to customer service and expectations. I say that…read morebecause, the door greeter informed that if we (my friend and myself) pay 20.00 per person we would have access to upstairs and downstairs activity. Unfortunately, after paying a man basically screamed at us tell us to go upstairs because we purchased a VIP wrist brand. Keyword VIP, well their was no VIP access just able to go upstairs to their club area. Meanwhile, it was not VIP material, My friend bought a drink that was 16.99 and was served in a plastic punch cup. I asked for a sweet red wine, I was informed that the upstairs bar did not have wine only downstairs. I was confused because the gentleman that was yelling wouldn't even let us near the bar downstairs. The bartender apologized and said if you pay I will go get it for you. Well, another gentleman came an told her downstairs bar was closed and she couldn't go get any wine. So, this was a double inconvenience for me, when I was highly interested in having the upscale bar and lounge experience. I do understand the establishment is new, however management, if it was managment they should work on their communication and customer service. An elegance should be established throughout the entire build not just downstairs.

When in Shreveport on a Monday, your dining options are...limited (unless you fancy a casino…read moredinner, which we did not). So, we ended up here--the only place open that wasn't serving up blackjack with a side of fries. First up: water. Now, if you've never had Louisiana tap water, let me tell you--it tastes like someone steeped a bag of potting soil in it for 12 hours. I was about to blame this restaurant until a little Google dive informed me that most of Louisiana water just tastes like this due to geosmin and MIB (algae bloom byproducts, apparently). Fun fact that nobody asked for, but here we are. Anyway, we pivoted HARD to cocktails. I ordered a Belvedere martini, which was well-made by Dustin but oddly expensive considering this wasn't exactly a swanky downtown hotspot. For dinner: Hubbs went for shrimp fettuccine, and while it was fine, it didn't exactly make us want to write home about it. I, on the other hand, ordered Natchitoches meat pies, thinking they'd be the real deal imported from the famous place there. Oh, how naive I was. Instead, they were sad little impostors, baked instead of fried, and just...meh. Final bill: almost $100 for four drinks and two average entrées. If we're dropping that kinda cash, I'd prefer a meal that didn't require an emergency cocktail switch just to recover from the water.
