Our time has come to say goodbye...

We are so thankful for the five wonderful years and memories with you, Baton Rouge! The journey has been incredibly fun at times and terrifying at others, but no matter what, our love for this city will always remain.

It is with heavy heart that our family has made the difficult decision to cease our restaurant Operations, and therefore permanently closing Lava Cantina in Baton Rouge. We will be using this as an opportunity to refocus our time and energy on our businesses related to the entertainment industry.

We look forward to presenting some outstanding, major concerts to the Baton Rouge market starting in 2019 with the first announcements being made within the next few weeks! Stay tuned to this Facebook page to be “in the know” on these awesome concert announcements and the venues where they’ll be held!

TO THE BATON ROUGE MUSIC COMMUNITY.... a sincere “thank you” for sharing your art with us and our guests over the years. We started this business to create a platform to showcase artists like you, and while we learned a ton from this experience and would change so many things, the love and passion you have for your craft will continue to inspire us to work hard and persevere through the good times and bad.

We love you all. Thank you for sharing your time with us...

Bye bye Blackbird

It sucks because I actually enjoyed all the tribute bands they had there. And this is just another blow to the Baton Rouge live entertainment situation which is getting more moribund by the day.

I don't understand their little tease about bringing "outstanding, major concerts" here in 2019. I didn't realize the owners were primarily promoters. I guess that explains the quality of the food at Lava Cantina. I'm not going to hold my breath. If the track records of the venues in this town are any indication, it'll just be another disappointment.
