Kb was great and showed us great hospitality while my buddy was here on a business trip. Laid back spot with great whiskeys and a killer old fashioned

Cocktails and NCAA football. Can't be it! First visit but it won't be the last. Server was great! Our drinks were very good. The place is clean and nice looking. Very limited food menu but it's a bar. We had Taquitos and they were good.

My experience at Bourbon Bar was nothing short of terrible, and I was only there for 15 minutes before a bartender named Alexis had the police falsely called on me. I was invited by two friends, and while I don’t usually go to this bar because of its unpleasant environment, I decided to go for a quick drink. I sat at the bar, and when I asked my friend to order me a High Noon, Alexis rudely refused to serve me based on something as ridiculous as a Facebook message.

I barely know this bartender, having only seen her twice in my life, but I do know her reputation for having a terrible attitude and no sense of southern hospitality. She then called the manager, who shockingly supported her decision to kick me out without even understanding the situation.

To make matters worse, I was falsely accused of throwing objects at her, which was an absolute lie. This is unacceptable behavior, especially since I own a successful business in Shreveport with over 200 5-star reviews. The last thing I need is police involvement over someone’s personal vendetta. When I contacted the manager to resolve this, I was given a wrong number and received no response on Facebook.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen unprofessional behavior at this bar. On a previous visit, Alexis left the bar unattended to go outside and smoke pot, which everyone inside could smell. Somehow, despite being fired before, she was rehired, and it’s clear she’s continuing to damage the bar’s reputation.

I will be sharing my experience with my clients and customers, and I strongly urge anyone to avoid this place. The service is disgusting, the atmosphere is awful, and the treatment of people—especially people of color—is beyond unacceptable. Bourbon Bar has lost my business for good.

I would like to add, Lauren the other bartender was very sympathetic to my concerns and made me feel comfortable through my experience.

Love this spot Great customer service the bartender Lauren was so fun and attentive and knew exactly how to make the cocktail I requested and even though the bar was full and busy she still checked on me every few minutes to make sure I didn’t need anything and Aleena was so funny and absolutely the best

I loveeee this bar it’s great mixed crowd the music is on a jukebox and it’s always a great variety! I enjoy Tuesday nights, they have trivia from 7p-9m and the bartenders are some of the best in the city! They are clean, efficient and attentive! On a nice day the patio is a great vibe! Ask for Lauren or Aleena & Enjoy!

Inexplicable Things

After a 5 hour motorcycle ride on a Saturday afternoon, we were thirsty for a cold one. Stopped off here, hoping to cool off. Walked in, the place was not busy. One 2 top table was taken and one woman sitting at the bar. We smiled and made eye contact with the blonde waitress and made our way to the bar. We were not greeted in any way.

We sat down at the bar and waited. Eventually, the not busy waitress came over and said she would be right with us. Okay....

She walked down to the end of the bar where the solo female was sitting and they became engaged in a conversation. After nearly 3 minutes, we took our ID's out and laid them on the bar in front of us. Another minute or so passes. The blonde waitress is still quite animated, telling some story and laughing with the female. Not sure if she was trying to impress her or something, but she clearly could care less if we were there or not. My husband became slightly agitated and attempted eye contact with her again. She ignored him.

We waited another minute or two (now it's been over 10 minutes since we walked in and still no service at all).

We grabbed our ID'S, stood up and walked out. As we left, I did say what a shame bikers (& military veterans) were treated this way, but luckily, there are many other bars in town. And we left.

I can say that because of our treatment here, we did wind up finding the best little biker bar in town, so thanks to the slow blonde for forcing us to find somewhere else. We wound up spending about 4 hours at the new bar and have told all our biker friends about it. Believe me, we also are telling everyone to avoid Bourbon Bar because of the less-than-stellar treatment of veterans and bikers alike.

Way to go Bourbon Bar! Keep hiring folks like that and you will just keep giving business to other places! At least ya'll support local bars.... ?????

Thanks for pushing us to the right bar for us. We won't be back to Bourbon Bar.

This place use to be such fun! Now they have some of the worst service ! Bartenders service was trash when I came in on a Saturday. One bartender was very bubbly and nice the other seemed irritated and was very rude . In a separate occasion I came in on a Thursday same bartender same interaction. I definitely finding a new place to watch my games.

I absolutely love going into Bourbon Bar after a long day of work or just to hang out during the weekends. Elly always has a smile on her face and the most friendly and welcoming personality. She makes a bad day turn around just by seeing her there when you walk in.
