A good place to rendezvous with your party in the hotel maze. The drinks are overpriced, seating is limited, the decor is aging and gnats are prevalent. read more

Great bar in the Golden Nugget just outside the casino and across from check-in. Bar selection is solid with plentiful bourbon and tequila choices. This place is at the intersection of everything in the hotel. read more

If you're visiting Golden Nuggets and you're going to be drinking, I recommend to start your night here. Just remember that your night could be either really fun or really sloppy. The bartender who was working here made some dangerously good drinks. Why dangerous? Take the 'Spiked Lemonade' for example. It was strong but when I was drinking it, I could NOT taste the alcohol. It literally tasted just like lemonade and I could be drinking that all night which would lead to a sloppy night. That wasn't the case here because I knew better, but for someone thinking, "this drink is pretty weak, I need more", that could lead to a very sloppy night. Tried some of the other drinks that my friends tried and they were all really good. The bartender even made a drink called "The Hugo" when one of my friends tried to order the Grey Goose cocktail. His description, "it's kind of like that but much better". Well, the drink was good for sure. Chill bar. Good drinks. What's not to like? read more

Small corner bar located in the main corridor of the Golden Nugget Casino. The bar is beautifully decorated in a contemporary style with all white furniture. It is on the small side though and can only seat a handful of people. Drinks are on the pricier side but the service is very friendly. read more

I had the worse customer service from a manager ever at any establishment! Stay away from this bar while at Golden Nugget. There are way too many places to get a drink. STAY AWAY! This woman wouldn't even give us a plastic cup to pour a drink in after spending $1,000 at the pool yesterday and spending $250 at this very bar last weekend before dinner at Vic and Anthony's. I will never go there again and I will tell everyone I can about how rude this woman is and not to waste their time or money. read more

We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

The menus are on the table but you really don't need a menu here since there are only a few items. Everyone comes here for po-boys obviously and they have a few to choose from. The top 2 choices are the most common, the special and the surf and turf. To me, what makes a good po-boy, is the bread....like many other sandwiches. If you have great bread, you're usually making a good sandwich. I tried the small special, while the rest of the table tried either the special or surf and turf. They don't have a formal kids menu, but they just have either PB&J or grilled cheese. We tried the grilled cheese. My fav ended up being the surf and turf due to it being cleaner to eat and more variety of taste and texture between the bread. I liked the special, but I forgot to ask the server to remove the American cheese, so it made it taste funny and would have been better without it.

Villa Harlequin | Italian

This is definitely going on the date night list!…read more The Scene Villa Harlequin gives a more upscale, intimate dining experience - the vibe feels both classic and local at the same time. It's the kind of place you go for a nice dinner, date night, or when you just want to slow down and enjoy a full meal. The Eats We started with drinks - my husband had The Italiano, which was smooth and well-balanced, and I went with a Hedges Family Wine, which paired nicely with dinner. For the meal: My husband had a house salad and the pan-seared fish, which was cooked well and complemented by the kind of rich, flavorful sauces they're known for. I went with the wedge salad and the surf & turf, and listen...this is where they shine. The surf & turf is a standout - steak paired with seafood and a bold, flavorful sauce that leans into that fusion they're known for. Everything came out well-prepared, plated nicely, and felt like a complete dining experience rather than just a quick meal. The Service Service was attentive and polished without being overbearing. Drinks stayed filled, courses came out at a comfortable pace, and the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. It matched the overall feel of the restaurant - thoughtful and consistent. Parting Thoughts Between the cocktails, the wine, and standout dishes like the surf & turf, it delivers a well-rounded experience. Definitely a solid choice for a nice night out in Lake Charles - and one I'd return to when I'm in the mood for something a little more elevated.
