I was encouraged to join a group of friends and acquaintances to listen to live Cajun music at…read morehistoric Fred's Lounge in the "Cajun Music Capital of the World" Mamou, Louisiana. I agreed to go without any expectations, except for having a great time with friends who have been and Mamou's international reputation for its genre of music. I was amazed by the experience, to say the least! Fred's Lounge is small, intimate and its music broadcasts live every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to around 2 p.m. on KVPI AM radio out of nearby Ville Platte, Louisiana there every Saturday. There was no cover, people there were friendly and embraced visitors as family. Even a wall flower could not help rump-rocking in their seat, clapping to the beat, stomping their feet, or even being coerced to cut-a-rug with a perfect stranger, while embracing the unique Cajun music rhythms. The band that day was local famed Don Fontenot and the Louisiana Boys. I could not help admiring the bass player's guitar strap made out of alligator hide. The craftsmanship was incredible! Also Don Fontenot, the accordion player's passion and creativity was spot on! The band played traditional music in Cajun French, however at times they played American classics like Proud Mary. They even played La Grange by Z. Z. Top in both English and Cajun French. However the most memorable song was "Ride the Donkey" with a guest performance from a local lady in the lounge, who he-hawed better than the best Jenny! I am certain it wasn't her first time performing this song! If you are a music enthusiast, looking for a fun destination trip or a simply a unique memorable experience in Louisiana, Fred's Lounge is a must!

Bartender was super sweet and fixed very good drinks, taking off stars for the douche nuggets who dont know how to leave guests alone. A female who is trying to have a good night out with friends shouldn't have to worry about some 35 year old, wanna be 21, popped collar wearing douche bucket making fun of her behind her back and making her uncomfortable. There are many other bars in the area that we went to that night and Cullpeppers was the ONLY bar where this girl was made to feel like she had to be ashamed for walking in the place.

They occasionally have live music on some weekends, so check their Facebook page or better yet, just call em up and ask what's up! I try to make a point to stop here and have a drink with Sam when I pass through. He always has a selection of cigars to choose from as well as a strong Beam and Coke ready for me. Ask about the Raynebow shots. I would suggest you have it made with rum over tequila. The customers here are very friendly too. Always ready to tell you a good joke or story to make you laugh. I may not be from Rayne or Acadia Parish, but these folks always make me feel welcome and at home.

I was recently visiting from out of town when I stumbled upon booze & cues. I'm not sure what was worse the dull personalities or lack of intelligence of simple bar tending knowledge. I'm 100% sure I even saw her use the bathroom without washing her hands ( ew, I know). But it doesn't surprise me with the lack of self care and hygiene(that she made very noticeable). Also if you're pretty I strongly suggest to avoid this place. Those inbred girls get highly jealous of anything that looks better than a possum.
