Do not leave your tab open. The bartender will add extra drinks to your tab. I had a party there…read moreand found out strangers were drinking for free.

I give this cramped little joint a 5 because I have never failed to have a good time here...whether…read moreI show up with friends or solo...Have always found the crowd to be a bit of a mix from 20-somethings to 40-somethings and typically laid back just wanting to enjoy the beverages and the atmosphere... They have a kitchen but I've never eaten here but the word is the food is good...They used to throw a Steak Night special on Thursdays but I'm not sure if they still do that or not and in season they boil up soem crawfish and people have told me they do it right... The owner, Dee, is one cool cat...I enjoy smoking a cigar with him when I drop in...last time in I think I was the one doing the owing so I stepped back out to my truck grabbed a coupla stogies and we fired them up and enjoyed... They have quite a few TVs and I know it's called a Sports Bar but I think it's more akin to a lively dive with TVs...Not sure on Thursdays but I know on Friday and Saturday nights they typically have a DJ or some live music act playing...pretty sure they do karaoke just not sure when... It's a local's kinda bar cause let's face it...if your in Shreveport/Bossier you're most likely gonna be spending your time downtown or at the Casinos instead of driving out to the thickets of Benton, LA for your drinking and musical pleasure BUT if you do decide to venture out I think you'll be made to feel welcome and you'll probably have a better time than you imagined...I always have!!!

Cajun eats and drinks? Sign me up!…read more Whenever I'm in Shreveport, I make sure I make the trek here at least once for my Hurricane fix and Louisiana eats. Drinks here are pretty affordable and you get all the favorite cocktails like the Hurricane and Hand Grenade. Drink at your own risk cause they are powerful and pack a punch. You may get some sass from the bartender but it's all in good fun. As for food, whatever cajun bar eat you're looking for, it's here. Boudin stuff, po boys, muffelettas, and the gumbo/red beans & rice/jambalaya are all delicious here. Everything I've tried here is awesome. The loaded mac & cheese is one of my favorites; get it fully loaded with the boudin and crawfish; OMG! Vibes here scream cajun college bar with some sassy fun bartenders and a variety of patrons here. I've seen college students, business folks, blue-collar workers, soccer moms having a ladies night, and teachers unloading through refills of wine and hurricanes. It's quite a melting pot of people here and it makes for a fantastic time! BeauxJax knows what's up!

July 11th 2026. 6:35 party of 4. We had to park deep into the lot…read more The outdoor space was already lively. We chose a bench out back. Our sever (Twigg) was right on time. I had a beer by 6:42. We ordered the game day nachos and a sausage poboy. The app took 10 minutes and the sandwich 14 minutes later. The nachos were tasty ($14) but I didn't care for the Gator Andouille poboy. It was too salty. The bread to meat ratio was way off. ($14) Beers are pricey, but the live music is free. So that's a trade off. We stayed till about 9pm enjoying the music.
