re: Supper Club Baton Rouge - Leighton Carbo?

A supper club is not a membership place, it's a place where you go and spend the whole evening. I was told by some Wisconsin folk that it started off as memberships but nobody has that anymore. True or not, that's what they told me. They also said a soup/salad and dessert always came with the meal and that was a staple of a supper club.

It's not a regular restaurant model that pushes you in and out and turns over the tables quickly for the next dining party. You go, relax, hang in the bar for a while. When you're ready to dine, your table is waiting for you. After your dinner, you go back to the bar and spend more time socializing. The two I went to had lounge areas with couches and comfy chairs just so you can sit around and be there all night. It's kind of like having dinner at a family member's house. Very relaxed with no time limit.

The bars are supposedly known for their old fashions.
