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.

On a Tuesday night received excellent service from the bartender (was alone so ate at the bar). Drinks were appropriately strong. I tried the blackened redfish for $30 and while it looked good, it was overcooked and not terribly flavorsome. Definitely did not enjoy it. The service was good enough that I will likely return on a future visit and try a burger or something else from the menu that requires less skill to cook properly. The next morning, I ordered room service biscuits and gravy which was shockingly bad. An old stale biscuit split with about an ounce and a half of weird brown gravy. I later found out that in Baton Rouge they don't do white sausage gravy so maybe that's my mistake but I wanted to give everyone a warning! Whether you're from Baton Rouge or not, you'd have to be starving to eat it! Food alone would give it a one star, but given the excellent service and the ambience gets a three this time

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!

For cocktails, we ordered two old fashioneds.The drinks are no joke! So good and strong we had to order another round! The wings were really tasty too!

Nice you walk in you'll see where the party is happening. Multiple spaces within bar, each offering its own character. The seating gives off a relaxed vibe with couches and carpets a long the floor. Order drinks at the bar and then a place to lounge. The menu offer some unique drinks, including a caviar drink that will set you back somewhere in the low 30s. Worth a visit just for the vibes.

Discover Baton Rouge's Best-Kept Secret: A Hidden Gem Underneath the City…read more Tucked beneath Azteca's Mexican Restaurant and nestled right on the edge of the Mississippi River, this isn't your average dive bar. Since the 1930s, this historic spot has been serving up cheap, strong drinks in a cozy, basement hideaway. It's off the beaten path, and its entrance is a little tricky to find - just the way you want your dive bars to be. Once you do find it, prepare for a throwback to a time when things were simpler: dark hallways lit by a few twinkling Christmas lights, leading you into a dimly lit, welcoming space. The bar is stocked with an impressive selection of scotch, and the staff is as friendly as they come. It's a place where everyone knows your name, and the drinks come strong and cheap. The vibe is laid-back, with darts, a jukebox, and a pool room that's a little too fancy to be considered "divey" -- but hey, that's part of its charm. This is the local hangout, a true haven for Baton Rouge's service industry crowd and anyone who just wants to enjoy a drink in peace, away from the downtown hustle. Oh, and did we mention the drink specials? This place knows how to throw a party: SIN Night on Sundays (yes, it's as fun as it sounds) Ladies Night on Mondays, with FREE drinks for women from 9-11 PM Reverse Happy Hour on Tuesdays, where the drinks get cheaper every hour Bingo Night on Thursdays And, if you're out late, they're the only bar open after 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays! Now, technically, it's a speakeasy post-Covid, but getting in is easy: just scan the QR code on the door, and they'll email you a code to enter. Once you're in, it's like you've entered your own secret spot, away from the crowds. Whether you're a dive bar connoisseur, a fan of strong drinks, or simply looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, this hidden gem has something for everyone. So, grab your guest pass or--better yet--become a member and make this your new favorite spot in Baton Rouge. You won't regret it.

Just one of the reasons I plan to return for lunch. They make a mean martini over here and Danny is crushing it in the kitchen. Everything I've tried has been delicious. The grilled cheese is perfection on sourdough and the tomato soup is a perfectly spicy counterpart to its buttery richness. The daily specials during the week are all hits from the wings, to the burger, to the meatloaf.... While we're talking about that it's served with the best Real life mashed potatoes that I've had in a while. I've also tried their fried chicken caesar salad, a generous portion of salad tossed in good caesar dressing and topped with crispy fried chicken. Pretty darn good. Service is always friendly and attentive and the drinks are just as good as the food. Really solid martinis and the Ashley signature cocktail has become one of my faves. I'll for sure be making this a staple spot for my visits to Baton Rouge
