Great bar to stop by after work. Has a dart board, ping pong table outdoor, and board games. Great place to just unwind and hangout during their happy hour with plenty to choose from between their drafts and wells. read more

Enjoyed the outdoor seating area and the drinks. It's a bit on the expensive side but it's otherwise pretty good :)

So my last time reviewing Radio was nearly 8 years ago, and I'm not sure how, but the bar hasn't missed a beat during that time. It's a great neighborhood bar with regulars who also welcome newcomers and visitors without making anyone feel out of place. The patio has evolved to still include the famous pool tables, but also have added built in and covered booths surrounding the space. When it's chilly, the patio is still inviting as they put heaters out for you. The bar is dog friendly, so bring your best fur friend with you. The bartenders have come and gone through the years, but they have always been on point with their expert cocktail craft. Their beer selection is top notch. They welcome a Sunday running club nearly every week (4:30 Sundays if you're feeling it and want to meet new friends), and they're the go to after many events like Mid City Gras parade, Surreal Soiree, and other area events. Radio Bar continues to shine as a Mid City go to gem in Baton Rouge! read more

Ok, so if you are looking for a Happy Hour...this bar will keep you happy! Happy Hour every day until 7! $1 off most draft beers, which are already reasonably priced. Great selection of scotch, whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, and beer!! Inside is industrial but warm. Garage doors open up onto an expansive patio. Staff is efficient, helpful, friendly, attentive and expedient. The cocktails also seemed well made. Give it a try and you should be pleased...that is if you ate out to have a good time enjoying yourself. read more

Bartender was drunk and taking shots but wanted to "follow the rules" and kick out the 18 year old when all he wanted to do was have a soda while the whole family wanted to check out this place. Traveled 11 hours to Baton Rouge and awful service. 0/10 would recommend this place and bartender so rude. Maybe post a sign that gives families a heads up..... read more

I absolutely loved the Radio Bar. It was perfect for a chill date night. The drinks were delicious and contained the perfect amount of each ingredient (Tequila Sunrise). The staff made sure to stop by our table several times which was located in the main area of the bar. We were able to order additional drinks without leaving our table which was great. I can't wait to visit again for good drinks and vibes. read more

Radio Bar - Tequila Sunrise - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I do like Radio Bar because it's not too crowded when I'm there and they allow your dogs to hang out. They have a nice outside area with wooden benches/seating areas. The seats inside are okay, there's not much room. Bathrooms are clean and they have a couple arcade games there like darts for instance. The drinks are good, I haven't had any complaints regarding that! Recommend Radio Bar for a nice sit down bar to hang out with your friends! read more

I love this place the bartenders are well versed they are the best in the biz chandler had mad flair

The drink was nice and the atmosphere there was really good! I enjoyed the string lights and the lights come from the bar area. There's an outdoor patio where I saw ppl grabbing drinks with their friends. Also heard that there would be open mic on Thursday. read more

The Radio Bar is such a gem in MidCity. It a hipster, hole-in-the-wall type of vibe. This is one of those bars that is loved by the locals and a lucky stop for tourists. The cocktails are delicious and reasonably priced (meaning you can have 2-3 without a ridiculous check). The imported beer selection is expansive with beers from all around the country. Not to mention the bartenders are super knowledgeable and helpful. Although the bar does sell food there are plenty of options next door or within walking distance. The Radio Bar allows outside food and even furry friends!! The cleanliness, atmosphere, and crowd all make this place the best date night, girls night, or night out with friends away from the college kids spot! read more

I love EVERYTHING about this bar! Pet friendly, nice outdoor area with heaters. However, they could have more chairs outside and last time I went they promised mulled wine and there was none. Still a 5/5 though. I reunited with my estranged mother here. read more

Anurag and I have been here once - fortunately when the weather was gorgeous and we were able to enjoy sitting outside while enjoying our drinks. The place is huge and very airy and I really appreciate that. As the night wore on, the place got more and more crowded - still with enough space to move about and have conversations. The drinks were good - I loved the bourbon/ whiskey options and we tried a few. Servers were friendly as was the rest of the crowd. The are pet friendly, so expect many pups hanging out outside as well. They have pool, darts and a couple of other games outside, was fun! read more

Be sure to wear your BEST hipster attire! It is like a goddamn hipster fashion show in this place, but I enjoyed the people watching. I am very intrigued by this hipster bar culture. It just completely fascinates me! Drinks were good and I love a patio! Especially with things to do such as table tennis. Really cool place and cool vibe. I'll come again, but maybe put more energy in picking out my outfit next time! read more

Radio Bar - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

COVID really ruins all the fun but don't worry things are somewhat normal! After the saints game this hidden gem is such a vibe. I've been a few times but last night was just so nice I just can't help but rave about it. First dont speed down government street our you'll pass it up! Security is tight JKJK just have your id ready. When you walk in your see they are observing the COVID Protocol everything is spaced out and the booths are marked for social distancing. Inside and out seating is a plus you can also spice up the night and have a fun game of darts if you like. It's dark but no too dark so it makes nice for dates or hanging with friends. I saw on there IG the have happy hour for service industry which is so nice and they all come in and hang out but I wasn't but it's cool the vibe is what keeps me coming. I got a French 75 the bartender asked if we wanted to start a tap and got to making in the shaker time we where waiting another bartender ask where we okay. We got our drinks an sat down and talked and enjoyed the space they each came checked on us and multiple times and where so nice and kind. Can't wait to come back during the week. read more

Was not expecting it to be as packed as it was at 9pm. Usually the crowds arrive 10 or later. This place was so much fun! A wide variety of people were there young and older. The staff was super friendly and helpful. My group sat outside and watched other people play some games. The staff came by very often to make sure we were ok and helped us pick a few drinks. They really knew their menus and the drinks were delicious! We loved this place! read more

Radio Bar - Best drinks. Best crowd. Best dj. - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Great ambience, good drinks, terrible music. Their Rockbot app's playlist is egregious to be kind.

Best drinks I've had from a local bar here in br.. the Long Island are strong and reasonable

This is one of my favorite spots in BR. I used to go weekly when it first opened, but I just don't go out as much in general anymore. When I do, I always try to stop by Radio Bar. It's laid back, casual, roomy, has fun games, good cocktails, talented bartenders, you name it. You can request and vote on songs for free on their app. It's a "must hit" spot if you're going out in Baton Rouge. I don't know how I've never reviewed it before. read more

Came here a while back for a friends birthday day party and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a smaller bar with a pretentious crowd and weak drinks. I WAS WRONG to assume any of that. The bar opens up to an expanded patio (with a corner bar) and adequate seating through out. The bartenders are as attentive as they can be (the crowd was pretty large) and the selection of brews and spirits are extensive. These bartenders make some great tasting drinks. The DJ was on point with a nice eclectic variety of music (aiding to the laid back hipster atmosphere). It was a comfortable and inviting feel and made a great impression. Great mid-city hangout. read more

Radio Bar - Attentive Bartenders ! - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

It's hipster, y'all. REAL hipster. If you are into that, absolutely hit it up because the drinks are tasty, inventive, and reasonably priced. Go for the Sazerac or any of the whiskey drinks they have when you come in. Another cool thing about Radio Bar, is they use the Remote app for the sound system, so there's bound to be a random mix of music happening at any given time. Plus, in a very hipster fashion, they stream the music that's playing in the bar ONLINE from their website. I like it because it's great people watching, the service is good, and it's non-smoking, but it's not usually the first place I think to go, unless I'm meeting friends who live in the area. read more

Great atmosphere. Doesn't smell disgusting like a lot of bars. It's clean, the decor is cool and retro, and it's overall a neat place to chill, listen to music, and have a good drink. The drink prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed a Pimm's cup. They also have a nice beer selection if that's more your style. There are some bar games on the patio. People bring dogs. It's very relaxed. You can sit in a cozy booth or socialize at the long bar. Another cool thing is that you can request songs by using their app. You can add songs from their collection to the playlist, and people can "upvote" them. This is something I wish more places had. We had a good time adding some songs and hanging out listening to them while enjoying our cocktails. Will definitely return! read more

Definitely one of the better bars in Baton Rouge. Very clean and chill with a diverse group of patrons. I very much enjoyed their reasonably priced well drinks along with their cocktail menu which included stuff like a French 75 and margaritas for around $9. The people next to me got some of those cocktails and really enjoyed them. The bartenders were awesome! I especially enjoyed chatting with Angela who made me feel so welcomed. She even introduced me to her friend group sitting outside and recommended I join them. The blonde bar manager was super friendly too. Overall a nice bar with an accommodating and professional staff. read more

Radio Bar is my favorite place to grab a drink in Baton Rouge. The beer list isn't huge, but the beer selection is great. The cocktails are also pretty tasty. There's a nice patio with ping pong and darts. You can bring your dog! The bar has a great vibe. You can be dressed up or super casual. It can get a little crowded after midnight, but as long as you're there before then, it's a perfect place for getting together with friends/coworkers or a date. read more

First of all, I think it's important for me to state: I've never been a 'bar' person. What's the point in over-paying to drink in a crowded, smelly, smoky bar when I can drink for much cheaper in the comfort of my own living room with only people (and entertainment) that I like? But the Radio Bar has finally given this homebody a place to "go out" to. There's no smoking in the bar itself, which is a BIG plus for me. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, but not divey. The staff is super friendly! And the crowd is (generally) refreshingly bro-free. I can go in at 7ish with a group of close friends, grab a booth, and hang out - we've even brought in food and games before, it's all cool at the Radio Bar! The signature trait of the Radio Bar is the smartphone radio app that allows you to tap into their music selection (for free!) and vote for your favorite songs. The music selection is limited, but for the most part, very good! Even the music I don't like is at least ignorable, which can't be said for a lot of public spaces these days :/ Drink-wise, I would say their selection is average to good....but then again, I tend to only order my same two or three favorite regardless of where I go, so I can't say I have the greatest frame of reference there. But if you're looking for great atmosphere, Radio is the place to go! Oh, and I whole-heartedly agree with a previous reviewer - they have the CLEANEST bar bathrooms I have EVER seen! read more

This is my go to bar. I love it. They have an interactive radio set up so the customers can log into an app called remote on your phone where you can suggest songs to be played in the bar. The application ranks songs based on a ranking system where others vote. The more votes the song gets the sooner your song will play. Pretty cool if you ask me. They draw an eclectic group of people and there are games like shuffle board and ping pong set up. PBR is always $2. Otherwise most drinks go for well over $8. read more

A gem hidden in MidCity. When my friends initially told me we were getting drinks and hanging out in MidCity, I was hesitant. I hadn't experienced the rest side of midcity yet. However, I was pleasently surprised by this laid back and trendy atmosphere. The bartenders are super knowledgeable and their alcohol selection s on point. They have a great happy hour with a lot of variety. They have an open floor plan with booths at the periphery for a more intimate environment. The patio has another part area along with a ping pong table and is a great place to relax when it's not sweltering outside. One of my favorite bars and hang outs in Baton Rouge! read more

Great neighborhood bar. The building used to be a car garage, and the owners managed to make that charming--huge garage doors that open to the patio, industrial style lighting, etc. There's almost always a food truck or cart in the parking lot. This bar quickly turned into my Old Faithful. Go when the weather is nice and sit on the patio. Download the remote app on your smartphone and vote for what songs you want to hear (mostly indie music). There's a ping-pong table on the patio and a shuffle board inside. The cocktail specialties aren't always great, but they're fun to try if you have some extra dollars. If you can manage drinking a bloody mary after 4:00 in the afternoon, order one from Olga--she deserves an award for those masterpieces. read more

"Superb neighborhood bar in the heart of mid-city". This bar is huge!! I love it!! Since they don't serve food, the great part is that you can bring your food in!! It was so cool to see, when I walked in, boxes of pizza being shared amongst the different parties. Looks like the next spot for my upcoming birthday party! Want to challenge friends or new-found friends to a game of ping-pong? Step outside into their outdoor area, where you can carry-on a fair game (of course) ping-pong. Cravin' a cold brew... they got one for you!! Had a long day at work and looking for a place to chillax with some friends? They have happy hour specials for you, too, from 4pm-7pm (Mon - Fri). Even if you have a large group of friends, bring 'em all... they can accommodate! Do you want to cozy up with your main squeeze? You will find booths to sit in that feel private because of the high backs! read more

This is a great, eclectic, hideaway bar. They have a great cocktail menu that are all freshly made! Not to mention, shuffleboard and PBR on draft!!! Make me feel all warm and fuzzy on this inside. Added bonus: They usually have food trucks outside the joint incase you get the munchies. read more

Favorite bar in mid city/downtown BR. It's cool, hip and the seasonal cocktails are enough reason for me to come back eve

Love, love, love this open concept bar! The garage doors were open on a splendid Spring evening! Though there was a fantastic Spring drink menu, I opted for a French 75...yummy! Drink prices are comparable to most hand crafted bar menus. The patio is spacious, open air, and equip with a Ping pong table :) I promised my husband I'd play next visit. Hail Radio Bar! read more

Nice bar in the heart of Mid City. What makes me really enjoy this bar is the fact that there is NO smoking. I love that I can go out to get a drink and not go home smelling like I have a pack a day habit. This bar is great if you're on an intimate dinner and want it to keep going with drink kind of date, or if you're catching up with friends at the end of a busy week. Great mixed crowd, so you'll fit in. Also, the patrons request the music through an app. Drinks are reasonably priced. read more

Radio Bar - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Radio Bar is what I would consider my neighborhood bar. It's also what I would consider one of the best neighborhood bars around, because it has something for everyone. If you like cheap beer, they have it (although Pabst Blue Ribbon just went up fifty cents). If you like craft beer, they have some great locals on tap and nationals in bottle. If you like cocktails, they have a menu of classics and another that rotates seasonally, and they will happily make pretty much whatever you want if they have the ingredients and you tell them how. If you like food, they welcome tasty food trucks on the weekends and have even been known to serve people for free on Sundays. If you like competition, there's darts, table tennis, and shuffleboard (not to mention Bar Olympics in the summer). If you like music, you can select your own playlist from an iPhone with the Remote app just by joining their wifi network. If you're somehow afraid of non-fratty college students, grad students, or other people wearing glasses... I guess go to Phil Brady's instead, they'll be glad to have you. So why four stars? Really just because of the relatively small music collection that doesn't often grow or change. That can be a positive for some people who like stability, but I would love to be surprised with something new or, for example, something more than When Doves Cry, which is one of only two Prince songs on the playlist and was therefore played approximately seven trillion times the week he died. But seriously, Radio Bar. Check it out. read more

It looks like it could be a decent walk from the Hampton Inn downtown, but it ends up being a 4-mile round trip, which was just what I needed, although I wouldn't recommend it. The area is older on Government Street where it is located, then all of the sudden, a couple of newer shops come into view and this is part of those. The place itself confused me as I walked up. It's on a corner, and a couple was leaving through a door, but there was no handle on the outside. I walked around the side and found about 3 more of these doors, but couldn't see how to get inside. I walked back around and saw a group of people enter some darkened glass doors that would appear to be the next venue over (it's in a strip mall), but as I followed them in, I could hear the music from the bar stereo system and saw how it was connected. I got here at 6:30 on a Free Food Sunday and they had some fellows making chili in a big jambalaya kettle. I got the last scraps, and it was delicious! The bar has a decent selection of craft beer, but not a lot of beers I had not seen before. The banter is relatively loud, and this is definitely a place for younger and "hipster" people although I don't really like that term. Music is loud, but wasn't too terrible. I was still able to have conversations with people. It was filled up nicely for a Sunday evening. Looked like it started to clear out around 7:30, as that was when I left. The bartenders were very attentive and upbeat. Very polite and kind. They didn't appear to be tired or put out as some bartenders are. If you're in the area, it's a nice oasis. No TV. read more
