Uncle Earl's has transformed itself from the loud, college crazed, packed pick up bar of the 2000s,…read moreand has grown into a mature destination for young professionals. I had not been in some time, my last few experiences were filled with drunk kids at the bar and I figured it was a place I was too old for. But recently, I went in after work to meet with some friends, and the place certainly had a glow-up. They have a decent wine selection, and the cocktails were on point. The bar is clean and I like the different levels. The lushly decorated outdoor area is comfortable and a nice way to relax and enjoy conversation. And everyone who worked there was helpful and engaging. We also attended a Galentines Day event recently, and that was a great way to expose new people and those who had been away to the location. Delicious catering items were spread throughout the space. While I likely will avoid any large scale events there, it is nice option for grabbing a drink after work or attending a special event. Of course a note about parking.... because the area is separated by a fence, it is a little dicey. You can park in the lot on the other side of the fence and walk around, or you can drive to the back behind the building. Please be aware of your surroundings if doing so as it is pretty remote back there.

When I walked in the atmosphere was a bit boring..... anyone could basically go behind the bar and drink if you knew the managers. NEARLY EVERYONE who was serving me was underage, one girl even told me she had just turned 21... I was a bit uncomfortable with that. The drinks are overpriced... What bar doesn't serve Titos? The worst part about it every time i went in the bathroom most of the employees would be sniffing drugs.. like what type of bar are you guys running ? This bar needs to be shut down.... Let me update my review since it's being misconstrued and talked about . This review has NOTHING to do with anyone that worked at this bar. I've worked in a bar 12+ plus years ! I know how old you have to be to serve and yes that's correct it's 18 . Drinking and serving underage is highly illegal and I saw both of those things . Along with the drugs in the bathroom . My review still stands and no it's not biased . It's a great atmosphere but it needs to be ran the correct way .

The grounds are beautiful, and the acoustics are perfect. Follow their social media for events, and contact them for your next reunion, party, wedding, or other needs. Note, parking is all around the area, under the overpass and in other areas. You may have a walk a little, but it's well lit and beautiful.

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

I would rank it on the same level as the Renaissance…read more While I do not travel to BR overnight as much as I once did, I have stayed in many different hotels in the Capital City. The Marriott happened to be convenient when I was in town for my work Christmas Party. I have passe this hotel hundreds of times and the reviews always made me stay elsewhere. But damn the reviews were wrong. This is a nice hotel. I stayed on the club level. The rooms here appear larger and have a wall of windows. The view of the interstate from this high up was pretty great if you like that sort of thing. I do, and the road noise was minimal because the room was so high up. The bar is fully stocked but expect hotel bar prices. You will spend a fortune if you drink here for a while but it was a great meeting place for our group. There is no lounge access on weekends but you will get a free voucher for breakfast. At $31.99, that voucher is much appreciated. If you don't have the voucher, I would skip breakfast. It is good but Louie's isn't that far and is far superior. If you are staying in BR, consider this hotel. It is nice.
