Historic bar and music venue The Spanish Moon has been purchased for $385,000 by Baton Rouge design and branding firm TILT, Elifin Realty announced today.

The new owners plan to make the building the company’s headquarters, Bonvillain says. But it’s not ready for its new tenants just yet.

“They’re finalizing architectural plans and everything like that, but it’s going to be a substantial renovation,” he says.

TILT will keep some elements of the bar intact, Bonvillain confirms. For instance, some of the booths and certain fixtures will stay in place. But as far as everything else, it will be a “top-to-bottom renovation” that will see new windows, paint, flooring and offices installed, among a bevy of other updates to modernize the space.

But why? Terrible location right outside the Hood. You really want to work there every day?

I mean yea I definitely saw this coming. Chelsea’s offers the same music scene with 1000x better atmosphere. It’s basically like “the Spanish Moon grew up and moved out of the basement”.

Odd place for an office. Can you see branding that they might put on the building from I-10?

That might be why they want it over one of hundreds of other old buildings that need re-work.

Dammit. I read this as Silver Moon and suddenly had a desire to eat a 6 pound plate of soul food for $5 and get a a hug and a "see ya soon baby" from a sweet black lady I called Mama for three years.

I was thinking the same thing. I played a handful of gigs there from 2009-2011 and the bathroom was epic…in the worst possible way.

Their cars will be broken into daily. Wonder if they will keep the claw door handle? So many hot college girls there when they first started 80s night. Isn't it on the register? Renovate to a certain degree maybe.
