Going to be in Monroe for a while working during the week, I've already scoped out a golf course and there's an Applebee's by my hotel...

Heard the waterfront grill is good, what else? Any cool bars close to the mall? Strip clubs?

Lot's of culcha in that Applebee's...

You're time will be better spent working on your game in the afternoons @ Chennault.

Closest venue for "entertainment" is about 45 minutes east.

Waterfront Grill is good. So is The Warehouse, Cascio's, and Genusa's. Not too many bars near the mall, but there is a pretty good hibachi grill over there. Check out the Chennault Air Museum while you're in town. It's a couple of miles from you. Not sure about strip clubs, or even the bar scene anymore. It's been a while since I've lived there. Whatever you do...don't go south of I-20, unless you want to die

Literally nothing. It's why I didn't want to suffer there for pharmacy school

Lived there for years and tried to offer my opinion on a thread like this, which incited the wrath of the locals.... so I'll just repeat someone else's sound advice...

Courtyard Mariott by the Mall? I have gotten hammered at that Applebees.

Enochs is a great Irish Pub with great burgers.

When the wind shifts a little you can smell the lovely aroma of the paper mill which will sometimes fuse with the smell coming off of the landfill. I spend a good amount of time in West Monroe for work and I am glad I am worn out from work because there isn't much going on in the town but the traffic is still terrible.

I can find better deals at the Academy there than the one near my house.

Just got back from West Monroe.

The crime is getting out of control in Monroe. They had a shooting outside that mall and then another dindu pulled a gun on some people inside the mall. That all happened within the last month.

You should check out SQ's. It's right on the river, good drinks, and you'll see plenty of women.

Godspeed sir

I've noticed that Live Oak Ballroom has some decent live music every once in a while.

Cotton, or Sage for dinner


Daily Press for a quick lunch or breakfast. They also have awesome coffee. It is an instant French Press, very legit stuff.

only south of 20. Monroe is a pretty sleepy Baptist community

There's a Roma cafe Italian eatery that's good. It's in the antique alley area in the old cotton seed mill building.

Strip clubs? hahahah None here.
Avoid the mall if possible. Hoodlum hangout.
Make sure you go there during the day. Night time is not a good idea. The bus service runs till 10 or 11 pm from the southside; you can imagine what that ends up causing.

Enoch's is all right.

Pickle Barrel is good for a casual bite and they have a decent beer selection.

Rawz has good, and different, sushi.

Solid suggestions here. I'll add mine.

Avoid Ernesto's. That used to be good, but they've gone downhill.

Restaurants to hit up - Warehouse, Cotton, and Waterfront. Mohawk is ok. Quality has dropped a bit.

Bars. Enoch's definitely. But if you want the best Long Island Ice Tea ever, hit up the Airport Lounge. It's not in the airport anymore, but off of Louisville and 3rd. Anyone who's ever been there will tell you this.

There are a few, but you don't want any part of that.

When I was in school there, it was The Mirage. The pole was a painted piece of PVC pipe and it looked like it was turning green. One look at those girls and you can understand why.
