The smaller indoor room has 22 ft glass walls and leads to a large "rooftop" style terrace overlooking the Mississippi River and downtown Baton Rouge. Throw in a sunset and you have one GORGEOUS setting for any event!

Beautiful venue. My goddaughter got dressed for her senior prom here. Everything was so nice. Large…read morespacious clean rooms. Great location. Venue could be easily used for a small wedding, reception, party, etc. Nice balcony with seating that you can see the Mississippi River from and views of bustling downtown streets. Street parking and a paid parking lot available. I'd recommend this venue.

Rented building for engagement photo shoot. Great intimate building two floors. Staff extremely…read moredelightful believe I made contact with Megan and also Felicia. We were able to get some great shots. I was aiming for the Louisiana Bayou feel however with a touch of class. Downstairs wooden bar is immaculate, stair casing esquire and I just loved wooden floors throughout the building. To top it off with a French style balcony. I have no regrets booking this place for my photos!

An amazing facility with all services in one. Not to mention top notch customer service…read more Everything was so amazing. . . the food, the ambiance, the service. I can not wait to use this facility again. Huge thanks to Ms. Cyrstal and Ms. Debra for going above and beyond for our group. Also, thank you to the culinary team for making sure our group had sufficient food and a clean area at all times. Not to mention the maintenance team that aided in loading up our things. Again, this is by far the best experience I've had with renting an event space. I will be back.

We had multiple shots and cocktails during the 45-50 mins we were there. He even cut on some music for us to enjoy. My aperolz spritz was very good. I tried a tequila he recommended. The sazerac he made for my friend was really delicious.

I didn't catch her stage name, but we had a ball w lil mama who performed a whole set of ariana and then did the full choreo to sports car by tate mcrae. LOVED HER! she brought the energy!!!! now... the DJ is fucking weird. this is ALLEGED bc i did not witness it firsthand, but tonight, we heard from another patron that he told them a City Girls song they requested was "too ghetto." later, when i went up to request a cardi song, he asked me "if i was sure." lol wtf?

I attended a wedding in this space this spring, and the space itself is GORGEOUS. The outside patio…read moreprovides stunning sunset views over the river, and the dark wood throughout allows vendors to really customize the space for each event. We saw it set up for a different event when we did the rehearsal, and it can really be a backdrop to many different styles. Staff was attentive and was able to transform the ceremony area into a stage/dance pit for Bag of Donuts in an extremely fast & unobtrusive manner. The food was catered in-house and it was DELICIOUS! The catfish tenders were my favorite, but everything was super good. The bar also has a super wide variety of domestic & craft beers and whips up delicious cocktails. FYI! The only way to get in & out in a long flight of stairs. There is not even a freight elevator for those who may be handicapped. The website does mention this, however, so points for transparency.

Maybe I'm a highfalutin person. I don't know. But the Lyceum did not impress me at all. I will say…read morethat it is a good space to hold an event as it has plenty of room downstairs and up. What I didn't really care for was the look. The interior looks dated like nothing has been replaced since the 80's. The walls are all white and could probably use some artwork or a coat of paint. The chandliers should be replaced too as they looked old. I like venues that appeal to the eye as much as anything else when going to a party/event. The Lyceum didn't catch my eye. The staff is really nice over there and they have plenty of booze for the events so yeah.

So this is not really a review, but I want to go to a party here AND I want someone who has been to…read morea party here to review. A professional group that I'm involved with is considering this space for our closing party at a conference in Baton Rouge later this year. We didn't have an appointment but the manager just happened to be in and gave us a tour. What a fabulous space! I guess it's an old ballroom and while it was a bit grungy (can't fault them we dropped in unexpectedly), it's got such great architectural details. I hope this is where our party ends up.

Wow, I have never been here nor have I ever heard of it until I received an invite for a piano…read morerecital there. It's a fairly large venue space perfect for small-medium scale functions. Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.
