re: Question for LSU fans on Baton Rouge

Fred's isn't the best bar, these are graduates, about age 24 I'd assume. I grew out of Fred's and all of Tigerland by the time I was 21. The Bulldog is a far nicer bar with far more beer, a better crowd, and no chance of fights or shootings.

Also to the guy who said downtown is dead probably hasn't been since about 2012. Theres about 15 bars and 30 restaurants along with a bunch of hotels. If you want a concentration of bars go to 3rd St downtown. City Bar is really popular and the line is normally really long to get in, Boudreaux and Thibodaux's usually has live music and has an upstairs bar and balcony as well, Blend is an upscale bar/restaurant concept at night, probably not what you guys want but it's there. The Bald Eagle is a dive bar with a pool table in the back. Happy's is a nice bar with an arcade room and a large back patio with a pretty big stage. Tsunamis is a rooftop sushi bar, fantastic place for drinks in a beautiful building. The Watermark hotel has a beautiful bar inside it called The Gregory, I've never had to chance to go though. Jolie Pearl oyster bar also has live music on weekends, I don't eat oysters but I've heard they are pretty good. Driftwood opened after I moved so I haven't been either but it's one of those industrial gastropubs from the looks of it. Lots of beer. Bengal tap room is something new to me too.
