Cotton Club, Murphy's, Longbranch, Library - oh, you meant that are still open? Pastimes, if you classify that as a bar and not just a resturant, is pretty old. Mike Anderson's was on Highland when I was in school and is also pretty old. Fred's was open when I was in school from 1978 - 1985 (yes, it included law school) and I don't remember any of the current bars being open that long.

The Patio opened in the late 50s or early 60s.
ONO’s is pretty old too. Not sure when they opened.
The Jefferson and The French Connection are also older than pretty much everything mentioned. But I think those were both opened in the 70s.

Mr. G's, now Mrs. G's has to be in there.
George's downtown was opened in 1970.

Today in Baton Rouge History
March 20, 1945
In the early 1900’s, the sale of alcohol within a one-mile radius of LSU was prohibited. Just outside that perimeter lay Alesce’s Grocery store, which had opened in the 1920’s on the Corner of South Blvd and a gravel road that later became Nicholson Drive. The grocery store grew into a bar and restaurant, and in 1945
changed its name to The Pastime. Due to its proximity to LSU and the Mississippi River Bridge, which would be built overhead in 1968, success was assured, and the Pastime became a familiar and popular hangout. Today, it is Baton Rouge’s oldest bar and restaurant—as well as one of its most popular.
