    Bar drink

    Mother's Day bottomless brunch and buffet. I met my sister, mom, and cousin there along with our friend, her mom and sister, her two daughters, her niece and grand daughter. We did the Buffett and bottomless. We enjoyed the live band playing. The biscuits were so soft hot and fresh. It was self serve and the bartenders happily kept the carafes filled with champagne.

    It was a pretty big venue. I think they can hold multiple events there at a time. When we first got there, there were a decent amount of people at the bar, so it took us 15 minutes to get our drinks. They had a select draft menu and cans only. The bartenders didn't seem too knowledgeable. They had a live band playing for entertainment. It was really loud though so my friends and I couldn't really hold a conversation with each other. My friends went upstairs for some bowling and that was really fun. We also got the loaded fries and added chicken to it which was delicious.

    Classmates of my daughter were performing for the Thursday night jam. This is a really nice place and I definitely will have to come back for bowling. The drinks were really strong and we shared the fries I didn't realize the waitress didn't hear my complete order but it was noisy. I don't eat bacon so I just pushed it to the side but it other than that they were good. It's really nice that they also give the kids a platform to display their talents. The lounge seating was comfortable as well.

    The ladies in the family thought it would be good to get out for a ladies night. My sister in law suggested Red stick social. I had never been but I had a cousin who had gone and said it was pretty good. We went in. Saturday night at 7:30. LSU was playing away! So the building is nice and modern. There are string lights that you can see from Government street. There is a gravel parking lot across from the building. Ppl park terrible and it fills fast. You walk up to the building and there is the sweetest security guard sitting outside. Very welcoming. We walk in and it's like an outside patio empty space below and then up the stairs there are some stables to be seated outside. Walk in and you are told to go to the hostess station to request a table. Looks like there is seating in that area and a stage for a band. We were seated immediately! We sat in what appeared to me the main dining area. We were seated between 8:15-8:19. No one had greeted us by 8:20. I happened to see a girl and I asked her is this the bar area where we are expected to walk up to the bar for service? She replied "no let me see who is assigned to you" she came back 2-3 min later and said "the hostess didn't write this table down and no one assigned so I'll take yaul" I was like thanks. Mind you.....it is EXTREMELY LOUD!!!!!! I mean really loud! I asked was the sweet tea freshly brewed or from a tap and she replied "it's brewed but it's definitely not fresh" Ummm........ok I just got a margarita and it was just ok ! My cousins ordered the frozen and I had on the rocks. They said theirs didn't taste like anything. 4 of us got smoked wings and crawfish MAC. The other lady ordered the shrimp, with the wings...... The food was ok! The Mac and cheese was good and if I ever went back I would order it again..... I didn't bowl but to me the food isn't worth the price that it is. The service was mediocre. The young lady was nice but it was evident that she was swamped! I mean if someone has an event and I'm invited I may go but for me to just want to go there will be a strong no but who knows

    Didn't know this place existed until a member if my church took member took me here. He wanted to check out the bowling alleys. That section (on the second floor) was closed off that day for a private party but I was impressed with what I did see. Lots a space, a nice bar, a stage which people were dancing on that night but I imagine they have bands usually and lots of seating as well. The building was a power plant at one point from what I understand and you can see that. Brick walls and other elements left in. That night my friend had a Blue Moon and I had a Moscow Mule which was served in a cool copper mug. The age range seems to be varied but seems to be on the younger side. People seemed ready to have a good time as several women approached me that night which doesn't usually happen on the dive bars I usually go to - guess I've still got it! Can't say much about the food menu because we didn't order anything but I have heard good things about it. The bartenders were quick to take my order through and there was a nice selection. If I wanted a fun night out or had friends in town who wanted to get together, I would definitely choose Red Stick Social.

    Interior (2nd floor)

    I've been to Red Stick Social twice in the past two weeks. My first time here I was with my coworkers for a team outing. And the second time with a friend to celebrate her birthday. All in all, I had a great time! I love the way that the inside still has traces of the warehouse/factory. I'm a huge sucker for industrial design so naturally I was in love with the interior. Both times I stopped by there was a $10 cover to get in because of live music which I did not mind but it's good to keep in mind if you just want to come to bowl. The live band are a bit too loud for me because it was hard to talk to anyone even when we sat close. I assume it's loud so that it's heard from all 5 floors but it seemed like only the 3rd (maybe 4th) floor were open to bowlers. The atmosphere a live band brings is nice though! The staff is very friendly and willing to help with any request we had. I noticed some reviews about larger parties not having a great time but we didn't not have any issues for the team outing (group of 12). Granted, this was on a Thursday night. When I came back with my friend on a Saturday night, the building was packed. It looks like the bartenders are also responsible for not only making drinks and taking food orders but also setting up bowling lanes, getting shoes/socks, etc. I could instantly see how service can slow down when a number of tasks has to be split between 2-3 workers with a full house. I was patient and understood that there may be a lot on their plate. On top of that, many places are slowly reopening & they only have a partial menu out now so I'm sure there's a plan for them to be fully open & staffed as well. Nonetheless, this place is awesome and has HUGE potential. I'm excited to return with more friends and see what other activities/live music they have in store.

    Mmmmm so good. Pork rinds and queso.
    Erica S.

    This place is amazing! It's beautiful. Everyone was super friendly. We got there for lunch at 11:00am Friday. The owner's/manager's were greeting everyone. Even the chef greeted us and thanked us for coming in! We just ordered takeout at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and went out of his way to get us to go drinks. (We didn't even ask). I always have low expectations for food from a new place, but BOY was I wrong. I had the pork rinds with queso and the smoked wings. Best wings EVERRRR I usually see about 30-50 people daily at my work. EVERYONE has asked where this food is from. Raves from me! Will go back soon!!!!

    I would typically recommend this place for a nice cocktail and bowling. However, I went there for brunch on 7/23/23 with some friends and unfortunately all of us got food poisoning. Initially I thought it was the mimosas not sitting well with me, but the symptoms continued for 3 days. I called my friend and she was also cramping, vomiting, and having diarrhea. We both was unable to keep down any food or water. I may consider revisiting Red Stick Social for other purposes but I won't be attending brunch again soon. I suggest management triple check cleaning routines and food prep.

    Friends and fun!

    I had never heard of Red Stick Social until I visited it as a part of the LSU Alumni Association Chapter Summit. I wish I had known about it when I was a student, it seems like an awesome place to hang out, gather and have fun! It also seems like a solid place to have a graduation/birthday party or any other large celebratory gathering. I love the modern industrial vibe/design. As part of my conference, we were treated to drinks and food on the fourth floor. We had spinach and artichoke dip, wings, gumbo, red beans and some dessert items. The gumbo and the spinach dip were the stars of the meal for me. (The gumbo was sausage and chicken, but I'm sure could be just chicken should there be any dietary restrictions on pork.) I could have eaten them the whole night had we not had to leave. Overall, the food was great, but the plates we were given were so small it made it hard to enjoy our dinner. While we did not have time to bowl with our large group, we did visit the rooftop and were treated a great view of string lights and some of the cityscape. Being located so close the Mississippi River and the modern/industrial design, the rooftop seems like a great place for pictures and/or parties. My reasoning for giving 4/5 stars is that I did not get to experience all of the amenities Red Stick offers, so I can't speak to the full experience. Additionally, the restrooms are clean however not gender neutral.

    This place has serious potential. The whole plaza does. Red Stick Social is housed in a new business nook called "The Electric Depot". It's a former power company that now holds various food, beverage and art businesses. It has that industrial art vibe that sucks you inn the moment you pull up. Red Stick Social seems to be the "anchor business" as it is the largest and takes up the main building. Outside, there is a fenced in play area for dogs, children and adults alike. Downstairs is a restaurant and bar, while upstairs is a bowling alley. This place truly has a "little bit for everyone". Service was slow, but I am hoping that is just a training curve. We look forward to coming back soon!

    Very nice place! I love the atmosphere and overlook of the establishment. I went for the movie night. They offer free popcorn and seasonings for the popcorn. They had it inside but I think they have it outside some times. I love the idea but with the bowling and the other events going on you can't hear the movie. We asked twice for a higher volume but the staff told us that's always an issue. I would definitely come back because I want to try the food and an outside movie. Very short staffed! They were overwhelmed, but still nice.

    Bowling lanes!

    I had high hopes for this new hot spot in mid-city, and unfortunately it didn't fully live up to the hype. The atmosphere and space are incredible - solid 5 stars if we were just rating off of that. It was a lot of fun to wander around, listen to the band, and sit and chat on the rooftop patio. The bowling was a lot of fun, and reasonably priced on a Saturday night if you split the lane rental with friends. Weeknights are of course cheaper, with a great Tuesday special. The food was the biggest letdown though, and the reason for this place not living up to the hype for me. I had heard great things about the chef, and the menu looked awesome - lots of choices and variety. We played it safe and ordered a catfish poboy and the slider trio (your choice out of 4). The sliders sounded great, but were ice cold and had almost no meat on them. I can't attest to the poboy, but my husband said it was just ok. (It was reasonably priced for a large portion though, and came with a side unlike the sliders). Service was just so-so. All that being said, I am excited to give this place another try. Maybe they need to iron out some opening weekend kinks. For the bowling, drinks, and atmosphere this place is a hit...maybe have dinner elsewhere though.

    Bowling prices.... The ping pong price is kinda ridiculous.
    Victoria D.

    Disclaimer: I have not really tried the food; I'm just in it for the entertainment and drinks! I really like this place. I've been twice, both times for Tuesday's bowling special where it's $10/lane/hour. It isn't too busy and this place is massive so plenty of places to hang around if you do end up needing to wait for a lane. I've tried drinks and snacks in the form of chips and queso. The bowling lane area has a limited food menu so we had the chips and fries. They were both okay! Not bad but not great. The drinks are good. They're strong and not ridiculously priced. I did not have bad service like other reviewers had stated--I think they've upped their game so I thought it was pretty good. The one downfall is that it is SO HOT. Like upstairs where the bowling lanes are, it's like stuffy. Everyone in my party was drenched in a thin layer of moisture. It was like that the first time I went also. My cousin saw the thermostat and it was at 78 degrees!!! WTF. Anyways beyond that, this is a cool place to have some drinks and bowl with friends!
