Okay, Lava Cantina's starting to piss me off

I liked the place at Perkins Rowe for a while. They have decent tribute bands (not great but entertaining), nice rock and roll theme to the place, good beers on tap, etc. But recently they went from no cover for regular local bands to 5 bucks across the board, and also doubled the cover for tribute bands from 5 to 10 bucks cover. Add to that the fact that their drink prices are among the highest in town. Used to have bands play from 10pm or earlier to at least 1 AM, now advertising bands as 10 PM to 12 midnight. Last tribute band I saw played last song at 11:30, encore, was done at like 11:40. We got there at a little after 10 and left an hour and 45 minutes later, down almost 60 bucks between two people.

Now I've found out that they're taking over Roux House downtown and turning it into some kind of goofy theme bar, presumably with no live music. The new Lava Cantina will be where Lucy's Retired Surfer bar was and will be geared toward one-man acoustic type stuff.

None of this is giving me the warm fuzzies about live entertainment in Baton Rouge, particularly the rock and roll variety.

Sorry, had to vent.
