Mismanaged is obvious in this case, somehow the underaged drinking is more obvious. Seemed as if…read morethe male bar back had "friends" that were being discreetly given drinks, but that takes takes the back seat. 1st- you show your ID at the door- as this is normal, ensure on your OWN that you're given a wrist band (that you otherwise would be unaware of) or you will be treated as I & others have been. Then when you order your drink after giving your I'd 12 foot away- this said barback who's looks to be giving away drinks at that point upon observation.... after being ignored for a seasonable amount of time, he finally approaches me & says verbatim "what do you want? Why do you not have a wristband? Why didn't she give you one?" I had no idea not being this "friend" entailed almost turning away my business. I confused then follow with- "I'm ordering a pizza, & also would like to buy a beer while I wait." Rolling his eyes he pulls my beer, immediately demanding payment which was fine because cash was already in hand for it. (Rude behavior aside, I work in the industry so I maintain composure.) Disregarding the cash & ID already pulled out for him by the time my beer was on the counter, my friend was already prepared- somehow that's my fault & He looks me directly in the eye, and approaches me audacity to refuse to see her ID and money . After awkward looks for a full 60 seconds he then finally agrees to let her pay for the pizza and beer... then turns around after giving her change, turns to me after pocketing the money for the beer & says "that'll be 3.00" Makes me remember why people only go to Lake Charles for the casinos... this place being a "tourist" spot is more than a joke. If I wanted to tip for crappy service I would have. Based on my experience, this is a business where you have to be a thief to be given anything close to decent customer service, let alone not watch your money get pocketed right in front of your face. 10/10 wouldn't recommend.

This place is the ultimate dive bar and I love it. No good menu but they have snackish stuff like…read morebeef jerky. They have 2 dart boards, 2 pool tables, a stage for karaoke (not sure if they have live bands or not), and some of the best bartenders around (especially my favorites Danny and Davey xo).

Fun bar in the front of the casino at the Golden Nugget…read more Just inside the main entrance and behind the security of the casino, RUSH Lounge is a great spot to meet for drinks, a cigar or listen to live music before, after or while taking a break from gambling. The spot is small so it always feels like there's a crowd. Drinks are good and service is better. I always drop by during my visit to the casino floor. You should too.

Amazing pizza experience. I tried the chicken shawarma pizza at Lux Plates and Pours and it was…read moretruly exceptional. The crust was perfect. The toppings were generous and flavorful. They actually let me choose some extra toppings. And the combination of chicken shawarma, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, jalapenos, special crema and queso fresca was a game changer. The service was also top notch. I would highly recommend this pizza to anyone looking for a unique pizza experience. There's nothing like it in Southwest Louisiana. Not to mention the good vibes. I wish i would've taken a picture, but we ate it up so fast. It's a must if you're in Lake Charles.

There was also plenty of space out front to celebrate together with friends and family, and also play around and ride the bull. Thanks for hosting! I didn't take a picture of the food, but everything was fantastic. Not just saying that. I will be back again soon. Boneless wings were my favorite! Both the buffalo and Asian.

There is another restaurant nearby that is similar that I've been going to for year's it's always been my favorite but I must say Cooler's Ice House really out did themselves. Lean Roast Beef, Ham and Turkey soaked in their house made au jus, dressed with 3 cheeses, lettuce, mustard and that delicious jalapeño mayo on a super crusty roll that is source out of Lafayette, Louisiana I'm told, the bread is definitely fifty percent of the sandwich's quality and taste. There were six of us in our party and the table service here was outstanding, Madison our server was on top of everything throughout our visit here. They weren't very busy when we arrived but quickly fill up as time went on - I thought the kitchen was a little slow but everything was well executed and delicious - no complaints from anyone at our table. This is definitely a place I'd return to and it's likely I'd repeat my order exactly, there's no sandwich that comes close to this deliciousness anywhere that I've experienced near my home in Florida - it's great when even the locals whom have access to this place treats it like something special...
