The Rum House in Nola is the hottest restaurant on Magazine Street. I will never figure out why it didn't take in Baton Rouge. Best Jerk Chicken and margaritas in town.

For whatever reason, the transition from NOLA to BR hardly ever works. Rum House held that location down for quite a while though and for most of their tenure, they were doing quite well.

I think this was more of a chance for the owners to get out of the lease while things looked bleak than a financial failure overall.

Granted I haven't lived in BR in 4 years, but when I did, I felt like it was always busy. The terrible location probably didn't help. The happy hour on Tuesday was tGOAT, but traffic at that time was horrible.

The margaritas at rum house were the best in town? What?

This sounds like a similar concept to Rouge Creole...so overpriced ?

I enjoy Rum House for what it is but best margaritas in town? LOL

Haven't had their jerk chicken to comment. I get my Jerk Chicken for Johnny's Jamaican food truck.

I only tried it once but it had a cinnamon, almost sweet flavor. Wasn’t a fan.
