Chelsea’s is reopening as a live music venue near Pastime Lounge

Not sure if you LSU guys remember Chealsea's. They were on the north gates for a long time, then moved to the overpass area on Perkins when they built those apartments and shopping on State Street. They closed down in 2015.

Now they are going downtown. Should be a lot of parking under I-10 for them.

Chelsea’s, the once-popular Perkins Road overpass area restaurant and live music space that shuttered in late 2015, could be returning to Baton Rouge as a bar and live music venue at a new location.

Domain Architecture has applied for an expedited commercial plan review permit to convert a 7,657-square-foot mercantile space at 1010 Nicholson Drive into “an assembly space to house a bar and live music venue.” The application—which also calls for the construction of new walls for bathrooms, offices and custom millwork bars—was filed under the moniker “Chelsea’s Live.”

Dave Remmetter, who owned Chelsea’s for many years, declined to comment on his plans for the Nicholson space, other than to say that project details have not yet been finalized.

But even after closing Chelsea’s nearly six years ago, Remmetter said he planned to keep the rights to the name of the restaurant, which his parents had founded in the late 1980s before he took over the establishment in the 1990s, relocating it from West State Street to the Perkins Road Overpass in 2006.
