BR poboy and cocktail location recommendations

My youngest kid and his UT wife are gonna attend the game with some friends. I haven't spend any time in Baton Rouge since living there decades ago and the last game I went to was probably 15 years ago so have no feel for that.
They are food snobs but really would prefer to hit up some place with good ol' poboys. He remembers the Pastime and their roast beef poboys so may try to get in there. Maybe Chimes?
Where would you suggest? He also asked where they could go for drinks and avoid the college crowd. So ideas for that would also be appreciated.

I ate at Pastime for lunch a few weeks back and had the roast beef after the lady taking my order recommended it as being the most popular. I didn’t care for it at all. Very dry and without taste quite frankly. I prefer a messy roast beef poboy.

Best po’boy @ Pastime is their cheeseburger po’boy, IMHO. If I’m not ordering pizza, it’ll be a cheeseburger po’boy…

Pastime is a shadow of what it used to be. I was there a couple of weeks ago and ordered a hamburger and onion pizza. It is now "ground beef," not hamburger, and nothing close to how good it was when I was in college. However, it is still an LSU institution and I would not consider visiting Baton Rouge without going there.
As usual I also ate at Phil's Oyster Bar and as usual the food was mediocre and overpriced. Still, another LSU institution.
I ended it with a visit to Acme Oyster House. I only ate a dozen oysters, but they were better than the last time I was there. If your son wants a sloppy roast beef poboy then I recommend Acme. But the time I ordered one it appeared that they made it as sloppy as possible and forgot to include flavor. That was years ago.

For roast beef poboys with actual debris roast beef and sliced lunch meat roast beef, I think Acme and Our Mom’s are the best in town.

Jed’s is probably a good option.

Expect disappointment. Food snobs are never satisfied in their attempt to demonstrate superiority over people that like a great debris po boy from a gas station.

Second Jed’s for poboy.
Rocco’s still does a good poboy too. After that heat to mid city beer garden for an outdoor bar atmosphere

Went to Jed’s on Sunday. Terrible service, they lost our orders, and then they lied about it. Don’t waste your time and money there.

Ordered apps, they took 35 mins. Then they come over and tell us they didn’t put in our salad order. Then they confessed they didn’t put any orders in
How’d you get your appetizers if they didn’t put any orders in?

Rocco’s is my favorite roast beef in BR
For drinks sit at the bar in the back of BLDG 5

They didn’t put in our salads or entrees, that were ordered at the same time.

Rocco’s Roast Beef is a very good one. I like their tater salad, as a side.

Geroge's Southside needs a mention here. Highland and Starring. Bit off campus but has solid food including poboys and is away from the college crowd. They ice their beer in tubs and have a decent hard liquor selection.

Thanks so much to all of you for responding and solid guidance. I knew you guys would come through. I'll pass it along.

Tell them to bring their jackets, there's a cold front moving in!
Also a bit away from campus, but I've always liked Dempsey's cup & a half....
Which is a cup of gumbo and a half a poboy.

George's Southside and Roccos is where I would go for a poboy here in town. George's has a better bar.
