  • This isn't really a restaurant or a 'nightlife spot' but it is open all night, sometimes, it depends on how the people working there feel as to whether or not they stay open. They serve Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Tea, and BEIGNETS! It's a great place to go before or after you go out in Baton Rouge.

    You will see people there wearing anything from jeans (most typical) to formal attire, and maybe even hardy anything at all!

    The Casino is just across from the State Capitol. It is an authentic turn of the century paddle wheeler which now has 30,000 sqft of gaming facilities. It also has an International Marketplace Buffet and live music in Jesters Bar.

    One is called The Argosy Casino and the other is Hollywood Casino (old Casino Rouge). They are both pretty easy to find (big signs) and since they are boats, they dock by the River. Docking is really a misnomer... when Edwin Edwards was governor, he really laid the path for gambling in Louisiana. In trying to look like he was pleasing everyone while lining his own pockets, Baton Rouge ended up with the non-land based casinos, that were supposed to sail on the river, but after a short time, everyone just gave up on the whole sailing thing. Too bad, because I think that would be the best part of going.
    I'm not really a good judge of which one to go to (lack of gambling experience) although I can say that The Argosy has live music in its Pavillion (before you enter the boat). Casino Rouge has live music too... in the "Rythems Lounge". They've got a pretty decent dance area too, perfect for when Stormy (my favorite dance band in Baton Rouge) plays there - usually once per month.

    Wear whatever you want.

    The Argosy is a three-deck riverboat casino on the Mississippi River in the downtown historic district. There is over 29,000 square feet of gaming area. There is a bar on the 2nd level and a Deli on the 1st level. The Casino is connected to the Sheraton
    Convention centre and hotel.

    The Varsity: Old School

    The Varsity is right at the north gates of LSU. It can be cheesy, just like all the other clubs on the planet, but you can always expect a packed house. Different nights have different music. The best night is normally the retro night. Many costumes, many good looking people. The building itself is really old with a cool history, which you can read about right as you walk inside. It has recently been "connected" to the Chimes restaurant through a side door.

    Semi-nice is the norm, but you'll see shorts also.

    You could stay at the Chimes...

    You could stay at the Chimes and hang out at the bar, or if you would prefer to have a little club action, you can head to the Varsity, which is right next door. There are plenty of bars to go in Tiger Land. Baton Rouge also has two River Boat Casinos. Going out totally depends on what you want to do. I like to dance (swing) so the location changes night to night.
    Another bit about beer around the world... you get your name on the wall! My buddy Matt and I hope to one day get our names up there (you can see part of it behind us).

    The Chimes, Varsity, and Tigerland bars are all pretty well casual, so no worries there. Just make sure you wear the right shoes for DANCING!

  • One of the best places in town to have a few cold draft beers. Huge beer selection from around the world. Excellent food too.

    Casual, but I personally recommend no t-shirts or hats.

    Fun bands, fun people, good food, reasonably priced beer.

    very casual - guys can wear jeans, t-shirt, and a hat but can get reasonably dressed up too (dress pants and shirt)

    Chelsea's: Live music
  • By tulajane on May 26, 2006
  • Baton Rouge Page by tulajane
  • Chelsea's is BR's foremost club for live music. Great sound system, great bands, reasonable covers. All-in-all - a good place to hang and meet new friends.

    The food is pretty good too!

    Parking can be a problem -- too many people and not enough spaces!!!

    College casual.
