re: Give me some dive bars in Baton Rouge

I thought so too

I pass it a good bit and it looks open. Haven’t been in a year or so though.

ETA: Google says it’s open

ivar's was a dive bar back before the reno. Now it is just a bar.

Maybe it's changed. I haven't been in years, but my bar tab always seemed to be about twice as much as I would have expected from what it was.

around 2014/15 they changed mgmt prior to that they made it habit to overcharge non-regular tabs. So it wasn't pricey, the bartenders were just scumbags



I have a common last name so i have to be careful about where i open taps. shitheads regularly will go up to a busy bar and "give shots on wolf". So if do open a tab I usually will audit a little bit. There is a flip side to it, some nights i will close out and they didn't put half my drinks on my tab.

Old Ivar's i could not even use a card, even when it was empty the bartenders would try sneak a few drinks on there to cover their arse. This was common complaint for everyone that would end up there

It has become a much better bar since then it became the bogies for mid 20s people in BR.

The French Connection on Old Hammond.

Old New Orleans bar is open. I go every now and then.

A great Dive bar is 190 Connection in Port Allen at 190 & 415.

Vineyard is closed to my knowledge

The problem with Baton Rouge bars is fewer normal people want to go to Baton Rouge after dark.

Tiger Tavern on Hwy 44 is awesome.
