Tucked away near the Perkins Road Overpass, bring your own chair, blanket, snacks, drinks, and listen to great music for a fair entry price when they are hosting concerts. You can rent the venue for a party or wedding. I've been to both events there. There is a stage and an indoor space, as well as clean restrooms and seating options. 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.

The property is enormous with a rustic barnyard ready to be the setting for your next special event. It's completely ideal for weddings, where the ceremony is in the grassy field under a giant tree and the reception in the barn area. Twinklelights brighten the room and transformed it into something magical. Dr. Grace, the owner of the property is super helpful and hospitable to those that come to enjoy the beauty of his venue. Anytime there is an event here, I always want to make sure I attend. There is nothing commercial about it and that is what make it so appealing. It's truly an authentic southern space that you will definitely fall in love with and keep in the back of your mind for your next special function. It's located in Plaquemine, LA (about 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge).

As one of the city's most versatile and treasured venues, the Varsity Theatre is known well by the…read moreBaton Rouge faithful as a great place to see a show. Located just outside of the LSU campus, it has been a mainstay in the area for decades. While it's mainly concerts that rock this venue, I've attended corporate events, watched LSU Tiger games, and enjoyed a show or two in years past. I've always enjoyed my time here. Not to be confused with a cinema, this multifaceted venue has played host to a number of events and has partnered with many organizations both local and national to feature great acts and some for great causes. My favorite event in the past was a Saints game night, where for $12 one got unlimited beers (Bud Lights only?) and all the hot dogs one could eat, as well as red beans and rice. If that deal is still available, I'll be floored. The parking isn't the most friendly. Street parking is usually that is available and it's more luck than anything else. The Varsity is in good company with a number of other super famous establishments located within the same block. Figuratively, one could chow down at Chimes, play games at Barcade, drink their face off here, and then head to Louie's or Raising Canes for some late night food. This is such a prime location that it's great for a solid casual night out. From concerts to comedy nights, there is literally not a thing that this place can't host. While I do wish for a slightly better men's bathroom, unsightly conditions do happen at places that holds hundreds of people at a time. Peep their schedule on their website and social media for what's happening next.

The parking lot is behind the building and is not big at all. Fortunately we were able to park across at LSU visitors parking lot and walk about 3 minutes down to the venue. The line was wrapped around the building but it moved quickly. I did will call tickets and had no problem with my name being found on the list. There was a bar with about 10 barstools set up but those were taken. I would suggest being first in line to get a seat at one of these. Upstairs had a few tables but once again those were taken. I ended up watching the show against the wall next to the railing and had a good view of everything. I had a Basic Bitch drink which was surprisingly good. Drink was huge and was only $11. I will definitely look for more events at this venue.

Way before I was engaged, I saw this place on Facebook. I knew right then it would be where my…read morefuture wedding would be. I fell in love with the pictures. When I did get engaged I contacted them and met with Niki to see the place in person. It was so beautiful. We decided to have the ceremony in my church and just the reception there. I was worried about having to decorate because I don't do well with that. Have no fear. Aimee is amazing and so talented. She is the owner of the place. Bring your Pinterest pictures and your colors. She comes up with the decorating schemes and it looks so amazing. She has so much energy and is so pleasant to work with. She meets with you about two weeks before the wedding to go over everything. We actually had to move our date three times because of covid, and she worked so well with us! When you walk in, there is a big room with beautiful chandelier, tables set up, a fireplace with cake table, and all the little touches to make the room elegant. There are other rooms to mingle in. There is also a gorgeous courtyard. She had my bridal portrait and guest book set up by the door. I had treat bags for favors and she set them up so nice! We used her DJ and people have a great time on the dance floor. When it was time to eat, she had a little cabin in the back set up for us to have a private dinner alone for awhile. Even the drinks were set up so pretty. You don't have to worry about anything with them. I knew I was going to love it, but it honestly was better than I could have imagined. Even though our wedding was cut down to a small group because of covid, the disappointment wasn't there because we still had such a beautiful reception! They also do parties and showers and other events. I would recommend this place to everyone!

They also have bread bowls swimming with anything from tomato basil to crawfish bisque (their specialty). There's art inside as I'm sure you've figured out, from local artists depicting Louisiana romantically as we all do with vivid color and imagination. They cater and allow for meeting space as well. Here's a clip from the advocate Janet Mansur Terrell owns and operates the Beauregard Gallery & Bistro at 715 Europe St. In an earlier life, the building was the popular CC Fish & Oyster Market. "My great-aunt Corinne Mansur opened the CC Fish Market in 1932," Terrell said. "I was born and raised down here." Her restaurant is a neighborhood favorite.

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.

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.
