I can not wait to use this facility again. Huge thanks to Ms. Cyrstal and Ms. Debra for going above and beyond for our group. Also, thank you to the culinary team for making sure our group had sufficient food and a clean area at all times. Not to mention the maintenance team that aided in loading up our things. Again, this is by far the best experience I've had with renting an event space. I will be back.

We had multiple shots and cocktails during the 45-50 mins we were there. He even cut on some music for us to enjoy. My aperolz spritz was very good. I tried a tequila he recommended. The sazerac he made for my friend was really delicious.

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 attended a wedding in this space this spring, and the space itself is GORGEOUS. The outside patio…read moreprovides stunning sunset views over the river, and the dark wood throughout allows vendors to really customize the space for each event. We saw it set up for a different event when we did the rehearsal, and it can really be a backdrop to many different styles. Staff was attentive and was able to transform the ceremony area into a stage/dance pit for Bag of Donuts in an extremely fast & unobtrusive manner. The food was catered in-house and it was DELICIOUS! The catfish tenders were my favorite, but everything was super good. The bar also has a super wide variety of domestic & craft beers and whips up delicious cocktails. FYI! The only way to get in & out in a long flight of stairs. There is not even a freight elevator for those who may be handicapped. The website does mention this, however, so points for transparency.

Maybe I'm a highfalutin person. I don't know. But the Lyceum did not impress me at all. I will say…read morethat it is a good space to hold an event as it has plenty of room downstairs and up. What I didn't really care for was the look. The interior looks dated like nothing has been replaced since the 80's. The walls are all white and could probably use some artwork or a coat of paint. The chandliers should be replaced too as they looked old. I like venues that appeal to the eye as much as anything else when going to a party/event. The Lyceum didn't catch my eye. The staff is really nice over there and they have plenty of booze for the events so yeah.

A professional group that I'm involved with is considering this space for our closing party at a conference in Baton Rouge later this year. We didn't have an appointment but the manager just happened to be in and gave us a tour. What a fabulous space! I guess it's an old ballroom and while it was a bit grungy (can't fault them we dropped in unexpectedly), it's got such great architectural details. I hope this is where our party ends up.

Wow, I have never been here nor have I ever heard of it until I received an invite for a piano…read morerecital there. It's a fairly large venue space perfect for small-medium scale functions. Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.
