BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A popular Baton Rouge Taco Tuesday spot will not reopen its doors, despite the state’s latest efforts to reopen the economy.
The Rum House, a Caribbean taqueria located on Perkins Road, announced on Thursday, May 14, the restaurant will not return to business.

Underrated brunch

Business beforehand seemed to be slowing a good bit though. Once they didn’t even try to do to go orders I figured they were goners

RIP Rum House. It has fewer people when I had been more recently, but didn’t consider that it wouldn’t survive coronavirus
