This is one of the longest standing bars in downtown Baton Rouge. They've survived all the…read morecraziness of the early 2020's and kept their name. Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.

Once in the restaurant, we went to the bar and got their amazing Golden Gatsby cocktail. It was sweet and fruity and had a nice kick to it. The bartender made great drinks our entire visit. I also got an old fashioned which was great. We ordered the beef wellingtons minis and the duck confit tacos which were very yummy. There were not a lot of people there at all. It was us and another couple. We did not have any long wait times at all which was one of the reasons I chose an earlier reservation time not a time later in the afternoon. The ambiance was perfect for date night and the vibe was very intimate. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic evening with their significant other!

Yes, oh yes, Dark 30, yes! A dark bar after my dark little heart. How could I resist stopping in…read morewhen doing a search for cocktails in the area? Impossible. Let's start with ambiance. It's what will lure you in, with a small sidewalk patio that's perfectly inviting (perhaps less so on a 90 degree night) and then you walk in and hit dark nirvana with black walls, stunning patterned accent walls and amber fixtures and lighting. An enormous, really cool chandelier hangs from the very high ceiling. I could probably stay here forever (and I haven't even gotten to the drinks yet). The bartender was really nice, offered us wifi right away so we could use the QR code. I knew I wanted a sparkling rose and she recommended one for me. Then, because my husband asked about mezcal, she made him a cocktail that she's testing out for the menu. On the sweeter side, but delicious and beautifully concocted (I felt fancy as I drank it). Wall art! Oh yes, it's beautiful, too. I particularly admired two huge framed portraits of black cats dressed in finery. Seating is at the large bar or at a number of small cocktail tables lining the wall. What a surprise lurking in sleepy Downtown Baton Rouge. While it's been a while since I've been here, it's in a league of its own in an area that you'll be more likely to find sports bars.

I went to O'Hara's expecting a relaxed, welcoming downtown spot. What I experienced instead was a…read moreplace that felt far more hostile than hospitable--especially for anyone who doesn't fit a narrow social mold. During karaoke, I made a simple, polite request: whether there was any way to sanitize the microphone, as I'm immunocompromised. I didn't demand anything--I adjusted immediately when told no. I followed every instruction given to me throughout the night. Despite that, the tone from staff escalated quickly. I was spoken to abruptly, then more aggressively, and ultimately told to leave while I was still gathering my belongings--with the threat of police involvement if I didn't move fast enough. This was after I had already complied with every request and explained that I'm disabled and physically needed a moment. At no point before that was I disruptive, intoxicated, or behaving inappropriately. I don't drink. I was simply trying to participate in what should have been a communal, low-stakes environment. What stood out most wasn't a single moment--it was the pattern: basic questions treated as problems, calm communication met with hostility, and zero flexibility for someone navigating invisible disability. Accessibility isn't just about ADA checklists. It's about how people are treated when they speak up about their needs. If you're looking for a place that feels open, respectful, and genuinely welcoming, this was not that experience.
