re: Portico's Baton Rouge. Now Open. Reviews?

BR needs an adult Celebration Station..I like to drink but I can't just sit still at a bar for very long...I'm too antsy for that, I have to have games.

...this is why they allow it. There are places that don't allow smoking on the patio, but it's because they are just restaurants. I don't smoke, nor do I hang around many smokers.. but people aren't going to hang out and drink at a place where the only way to smoke is to leave and go to the parking lot :/

Unfortunately that is true...I remember before the smoking law, when smoking was allowed at the bar inside Portobello's on G Oneal...The bar used to stay very busy. When the law was passed all of a sudden a lot of their bar biz was gone and the bartenders were pissed because of lost tips..Oh well.

BTW, I've never thought that the food at Chimes East was all that special relative(saban) to the props it sometimes gets on this board..but we had lunch there yesterday and their food is night & day better than Portico's.

Uh huh...
