    Texas burger
    Jason R.

    Got the Texas burger and it was the best burger that I've had in a long time. Cooked perfectly and the jalapeños were fresh sautéed. Highly recommend this place

    Hamburger Steak Frites, mmmmm!

    Lost Cove is the place to go. Chill, warm atmosphere, good bar food and Great drinks! It never lets us down. Inside and outside seating, great for couples or groups.

    Food menu
    Rebecca T.

    I love this spot and glad it's open in 2023! Very large selection of liquor. Small bites and sandwiches. Great cocktails. Tables, booths, couches. Chill. It's not visible when driving by on Essen but just turn by the Oil change place.

    French 75 & Moscow mule
    Victoria D.

    *YAY MY 100TH REVIEW* LOVE this place!! I stumbled on this place on a Friday, just in time for happy hour. I was quickly greeted by the bartender and given the menus. They have a very small food menu. It's one page with small plates, big plates, and side dishes. They have an extensive cocktails menu with all kinds of wines and whiskeys, really anything your heart could desire. For drinks, I only ordered off the hh menu so I got the $7 Moscow mule, old fashioned, and French 75. They were all such good classic drinks. They were also pretty strong so I don't think I could do more than two at time. Additionally, I tried several hh food items! My boyfriend was obsessed with the felony burger that the second time we went two days later, he got it again. So that tells you how good that was. The boutine fries were so flavorful. It was a little salty from the au jus, but the boudin balls were spicy and the cheese curds were soft and chewy. It all made for a fabulous dish. The felony fries were good also! Oh so cheesy. The Cuban sliders were good but they didn't stand out like the other dishes. All in all, the food, drinks, and service is great! The ambiance of this place is cool and non pretentious. I can't wait to come back and try more things. I've been having my eyes on that chicken and waffles plate... BTW happy hours are from 4-7 daily and Louis is a great bartender.

    Large bar selection.

    So this place is back. Nice place to have a drink after work or take a date. The menu for food is limited but the drink selection is pretty good. The place is more on the pricey side but you can definitely take your time with your drink because they are crazy strong. They have several takes on the Old Fashioned and several mezcal options. I recommend the smoke on the water. They offer special food during happy hour that's not available during regular hours. Go by and give them a try.

    Love Lost Cove! The exterior doesn't reflect what's inside. When you walk in head to the bar order up what ya want and then seat yourself. You can't go wrong with the Boutine Fries and I haven't had a cocktail from LC that I didn't like.

    persephone's kiss

    * not crowded on a friday night * my friends and i stumbled upon the lost cove when we were trying to go to olive or twist one night, but couldn't get a table. the lost cove is super close by, so we decided to give it a shot! SERVICE: there's no one greeting you at the door, or even any employee saying hi when you walk in, so we just found a table and sat ourselves. the bartender was nice and made our drinks well and fairly quickly, considering it was just one person PERSEPHONE'S KISS: i got the persephone's kiss cocktail and i really liked it! the drinks are pretty strong here, which i think is great, because you're really getting your money's worth. it also makes one drink last pretty long, since you can sip on it throughout the night AMBIANCE: the inside is pretty nice, with wood accents and even a couch in the back. there are plenty of tables and booths for people to sit down at. when my friends and i went on a friday night, there were only 2 other groups of people in the whole place - so there were plenty of open tables and booths to sit at i didn't try any of their food, so i would definitely be willing to go back to the lost cove to try some of their bar snacks or burgers! their food menu isn't big at all, but it's enough if you're just looking for a simple meal or small snack. and the lost cove not being crowded at all is a huge plus if you're just looking for a place to hang or catch up with friends

    Empanada
    Christina D.

    I've gotten food from here a couple of times during the pandemic and I've been here once before for a Yelp event! The food is so so good like think modern bar food with a southern twist. I'm personally a huge fan of the boudin fries with fried cheese curd and gravy--such a savory and rich option... I'd honestly get it as my entree if it wasn't frowned upon lol. The burger is also a very solid option. I'd pass on the empanada. For the price, The Lost Cove delivers on portion and flavor! I did subtract one star because there have been 2 times where my to go order was straight up missing items I paid for, but hey the food is still good and I'll be back.

    Shrimp and sweet & spicy stewed tomatoes over rice.

    This is one of the best bars in town! Their revamped food menu is phenomenal. Can't go wrong with the Boutine Fries, a take on Poutine but this one has slow roasted pork and fried boudin. They make a fantastic burger as well. Their specials are killer too! I tried their tomato stew last Saturday and was very happy with it. Can't mention the Lost Cove without talking about their selection either. They have one of the most extensive whiskey collections in the city. Their cocktail menu is top notch and they have a solid beer menu as well. You can't go wrong with the Lost Cove!

    A whiskey cocktail. Original from the bartender.
    Austin D.

    This place has the best whiskey selection and the best cocktails in Baton Rouge. I've been a fan of the Cove for a long time. If you are into whiskey or cocktails, you need to make a stop.

    New Orleans Mule
    Nicole D.

    First time here and won't be my last. Varied cocktail menu that changes seasonally . Today's visit was the New Orleans Mule (smooth with a kick) and the Irish Afternoon (citrusy and refreshing). They have TV's to watch your favorite sports teams as well.

    This place is great if you wanna chill with your friends and watch the baseball game or any sports…read more The seats are the kind of chairs you don't want to sit for a long time though. I feel like if they invested in their outside seating, it could be the spot. They also serve pizza and chips and canned soda. I don't believe they do brewery tours. But definitely a hidden gem.

    Wonderful place to grab a pint, flight, or a few beers to bring home! Happened to go on a Friday…read morenight before a ticketed event, but managed to grab a quick pint in the half hour before they closed for regular business. The interior is super cute with long tables with stools and smaller tables with chairs. There are even a few booths tucked away. Our bartender was super sweet and patient with us during out first visit and even helped us pick out beers that we might like. It's interesting to note how many other reviews note a plethora of IPAs - my guess is this is seasonal because there were lots of malty stouts in early March. I love a rotating menu, so this makes me excited to go back. I was between the Wendy Peffercorn and Field of Nightmares (I think? It was a chocolate peanut butter stout.). The bartender let me try both and it was hard to choose! I ended up with Wendy Peffercorn, but I definitely would have been happy with either. Looking forward to going back, maybe even for Trivia night on Tuesdays! FYI - this business participates in PubPass and even though their website doesn't indicate food service, it looks like they rotate pizzas of the day.
