50 Best Bars in Baton Rouge

“5 stars across the board. 13 Social has something for everyone. From the great service and social environment at the bar to the chill atmosphere of the secluded back end. Whatever the occasion, you won't regret choosing it.

I've had nearly every martini at the bar, and each one is a winner. They've got a great choice of sweet, tart, or classic flavors. Don't know what you want? The bartender (Sam/Hailey) will help you make the right choice.“

“Caleb and Bella took good care of us last night!! The DJ was on point and and the drinks were fantastic. Bella was twisting up some amazing drinks!! We had a great 1st experience at this bar!!“

“I had a great dining experience on a Sunday after church in this establishment.I thoroughly enjoyed devouring the quesadillas and my wife enjoyed the chicken wing platter which included tasty French fries. The ingredients in the quesadillas were fresh and the rations were bountiful. The toasted pressed tortilla, cheddar cheese, with chicken was delicious and complementing well. Accordingly, The music disc jockey provided vibrant tunes during the intervals and commercial breaks of the Saints | Panthers NFL contests. So if you looking for casual entertainment on a Sunday, Squeaky Pete’s is a great groove.“

“Definitely like the music choices a bit more than other local bars, for the most part.“

“Went in randomly being in town for lunch and stopped in for a drink and fell in love! Our bartender Ashley was so friendly and helpful and our drinks were out of this world! Wonderful relaxing atmosphere with so much to offer! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Speakeasy vibe cocktail bar.

Excellent bartender.

Each of the House cocktails were amazing.

Very comfortable seating in a cozy environment with multiple seating options.

Sometimes have live music in the evenings.“

“Great staff and excellent food!“

“It’s a great idea for the weekend to get together with your friends and have drinks and listen to music. The bar is really nice and it’s patio is really nice with lots of people dancing drinking and having fun with friends and other people. I guarantee you that if you are rap fan and blues fan you will love it but you can always order food if you’re hungry and need to feed your face to constantly drink and party then you will have a great time at Duece’s. So club nights are always good if there are no one there trying to get a fight plus the security is very tight and they ensure you have a blast without drama. Check out this spot.“

“Great staff with friendly and down-to-earth personalities that make you feel welcome right away. The daiquiri flavors are amazing plenty of variety, and they mix them just right. The atmosphere is laid-back but fun, and it’s the perfect spot to grab a drink and relax. Definitely a go-to on Lsu campus from now on!“

“I have to take a moment to PRAISE Radio Bar! They are just fan-freaking-tastic. They hosted the Baton Rouge Improv Festival’s opening night this evening and were the most wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond to share their space with us and were so helpful - even let us store the stage there for a night when we asked if it was possible. Special shout out to Caleb and JP and all the amazing team members that we interacted with. You were all outstanding and we look forward to being back with you on Sunday night!! Also side note - I was SO impressed with the work ethic of the team - they do NOT let an empty glass sit! They were so quick and just all around wonderful. Thank you all so much!!“

“great atmosphere and wonderful service 😸“

“Great place to grab a drink after work or even on the weekend.“

“Okay this place definitely deserves more hype. Came here for brunch with friends and literally everything was good. Pancakes were fluffy, eggs cooked perfectly, and the iced coffee hit exactly how it needed to. The restaurant had a super fun but relaxed atmosphere and the workers were genuinely nice the entire time. Prices were fair too considering the portions were huge. Honestly one of the best brunch spots I’ve tried in a while and I’ll definitely be back soon for another weekend breakfast 🥞☕🔥“

“FireHaus Club is an electrifying venue that knows how to keep the energy high and the good times rolling. From the moment you step in, the vibrant ambiance and dynamic lighting set the tone for an unforgettable night. The music selection is top-notch, with DJs spinning everything from chart-topping hits to underground beats, ensuring there’s something for everyone on the dance floor.

The bar service is exceptional—bartenders are quick, friendly, and skilled at mixing up creative cocktails. Drinks are reasonably priced for a club of this caliber, and the selection of spirits and beers is impressive.

What truly sets FireHaus apart is the vibe. The crowd is a mix of fun-loving locals and visitors, creating an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Security is visible but not intrusive, so you can enjoy your night without any worries.

If you’re looking for a spot to celebrate, dance, or simply let loose, FireHaus is the place to be. Whether it’s a weekend outing or a special event, it never disappoints. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“We’ve been all over the country and have had some great hamburgers in places that I never would of expected and this establishment falls into that category! The ONE DOLLAR burger at this place is one of the best, top 5, I’ve had! The staff is great too! Oh, don’t forget the crawfish 🦞 with potatoes 🥔 and corn 🌽!! If you’re in the area, make the stop!!“

“I gotta say, Churchill's is an awesome place! I went there last night and was super impressed.
The bar area is nice. I had a cocktail while enjoying a cigar. The atmosphere is chill, and it feels classy but not too stuffy.
Amber was my bartender and she took good care of me!
I went on a Friday night, and it got busy fast! Make sure you get there early if you wanna find a good spot.“

“Great drinks, cool hip vibe“

“a very good spot Lounge in Baton Rouge. you get to come out and have a good time enjoy yourself very good spot“

“It's a neighborhood bar. Older growd. Food if bartender cooks They are very nice ladies!
Friendly, clean, non-smoking
Smokers can sit outside. Table and chairs provided.
Pool tables and bowling machine, occasionally have a band“

“Best looking bartenders in town.“

“On 8/11/23. Never been here before but my husband friend invited us. It's definitely the older crowd. I like that, bc I don't do clubs. Parking is limited, inside space is limited but it's not crowded..no shoulder to shoulder. They played good music(a real dj ??), everyone was dancing the drinks are good. They cook food on the outside. If I had to say if I would go back I would. Only downside is they give u your ice in a bowl. It wouldn't be much if they get some of those ice buckets from Dollar tree to make it a little let hood. Other than that it's a nice chill spot. oh yeah, they HAVE SECURITYThe one across the street seem a little more wide open. The younger crowd. I don't do that.“

“Hey as an alcohol....I mean an alcohol Connoisseur, I can say we may hold these truths, not all daiquiri places are created equal.Spanks has to be one of my all time favorites! Out side of their long menu of different flavors and choices, the staff will help you with a drink of your own! My favorite drink at this location HAS TO BE the Victoria’s Secret. Think of a strawberry pina colada. It’s littt, with Three Ts. If you see me there ordering 4 to go, mind ya business, but say what’s up.“

“Come and indulge in a delightful smoke when you're in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Experience the warmth of a classic bourbon finely curated for you—each sip bringing forth its rich flavors. Let the enchanting sounds of 90’s music fill the air, creating the perfect atmosphere for your evening. And remember to dress to impress in your Sunday best, as I insist! Do me a favor and let them know that Mrs. Cognac sent you. 🫶🏾💨🔥 #BlackOwned“

“Damn, what a spot. For game day there is no better place than right here at Fred's. What a great time. The bartender Mathew took awesome care of us and he ran the bar like a boss. How can it get any better when the big man himself is on the grill cooking all the steaks and his wife is keeping it straight on when you get your food. Great times and look forward to going back every time on game day.“

“COME THRU EVERY FRIDAY WITH ME DJ CHUNCHY“

“Cheba Hut is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The portions are pretty generous and they pile on the toppings. The atmosphere is fun if you are 4/20 friendly or even just like music and movies, etc. I would highly recommend giving Subway and Jimmy John's a break and trying Cheba Hut for a different experience. You won't be disappointed!“

“everything is all good and also have great music“

“come see me I work there lets have a cold one“

“I only wish I could've stopped eating long enough to take a picture. Some of the BEST wings I have ever eaten! If you're in the area and love good music, atmosphere and people...then don't pass by this place. I'll definitely be back!“

“We went for good seafood and the best crawfish we heard. When we walk in we has awesome service. Our server Aundria E was the best. She took care of us from drinks and helped explain the menu!! Food was hot and good. Great place and definitely number 1 server!! We will be back!!“

“IceHouse is a great spot with a really cool atmosphere — laid back, friendly, and always a good time. The owner is super nice and always welcoming, and the bartenders are great — very helpful and give excellent service every time. The food is solid, prices are reasonable, and it’s definitely one of the places me and my friends like to visit regularly. Always a good experience.“

“Best daiquiris in town !!!!“

“The total package-food, drinks, atmosphere and amazing staff.“

“Wow, we were taken by surprise by the exceptionally high-quality cooking offered at the King Bar & Bistro. We split the house special, “Red Fish Pontchartrain,” and it was so intensely flavorful and artfully presented we could immediately tell the chef learned his trade in New Orleans. We splurged on another house special for dessert, the “White Chocolate Bread Pudding,” and were again amazed by the quality of the dish, a perfect balance of pillowy caramel and subtle sweetness. Five stars for the food; hard to find in Baton Rouge. Please forgive the eager waitstaff for they are still learning the ropes, and the bar could stand to improve the wine list. We will be back. You should try it too.“

“Say with Essen great service“

“This is the neighborhood tavern.“

“food was delicious. I tried three different things and will be back for more!“

“Great daiquiris! Lots of great Live Music! Good food and fun place. Pool tables and good atmosphere.“
