Drinks & Nightlife
Probably the most popular bar in Baton Rouge, it has delicious seasonal cocktails, indoor and outdoor seating, ping pong, darts, shuffle board, and great music. They sometimes have free food on Sundays and it's where I've spent many a late night. It isn't within walking distance, but it's only about a 5 minute drive.
