So it is the old Iberville's. That was a great Sunday night place when I was a freshmen.

Great. This is only a few miles from work and home for me.

Does anyone know if bars in that area can stay open past 2AM?

Pretty sure thats Iberville Parish. Likely 2:00a.m. close.

They used to stay open until 6am. That is the only reason anyone ever went to The Country Place.

Those were the days....Sorry about your friend...I remember when that happened...I think that was why I gave up ludes...Luckily it wasn't far from Cahoots to the Country Place.

It will never be the same, impossible................... 
It'll be just like when the new Happy Note and Uncle Earls tried. Nowhere even close to what they were.

Uncle Earls
I fished Venice this past weekend, the first time since the storm. They told me "Mac the Knife" who died a couple of years ago, moved up when he got his FEMA trailer.
He used to own Uncle Earls with Missy Jackson and he lived in the back. When they closed it he started guiding, lost all his money and ended up cleaning fish at Venice Marina. Serious alcoholic but died from lung cancer two months after they found it.
He was a little guy and was also a quarterback for Tulane.

I thought Uncle Earls was one of the Broussard brothers...one owned the caterie and the other owned Uncle Earls.

Guy I knew at LSU got hammered one night at The Country Place when we were hanging out there after 2am, walked out into the middle of Nicholson Drive, layed down and went to sleep. He got run over and killed.
I remember it well. Pretty well publicized.
Passed today trying to escape the I-10 madness, and the sign is already up. There have been a number of places try and fail there, hopefully Rodney and crew can make a go of it. The question I have is will the cougars roam that far from home?

Wasn't that the Brousseaus?

Brousseau family. The two brothers sold the Caterie to Darren and Kevin, Were one or both whom opened O'Brien's Ice House, and then both Parrain's? I have cousins that know them well. Love Parrains, liked O'Briens too.
Mac Brousseau owned Uncle Earl's, I think he went to school with my dad. By chance, Mac taught me to swim as a child, he was an instructor.
Mac was always sitting on a stool drinking a beer in the doorway, if you didn't know any better, you'd mistake him for a patron, great guy. Stacey was behind the bar. CCR was always playing loudly over the speakers and clicking of the pool tables.

Yes, my bad...it was Mac Brousseau. I remember a very crazy weekend on Macs houseboat with crabs iced down and steaks on the bar b q pit...a lot of liquor and crusing up and down the river...and I think CCR was still on the stereo

The thing about the Southdowns area is all the bars fed off each other and took care of each other....Halloween was Southdowns....St. Pats belonged to Kevin at ZZ's etc...etc. And no one ever encroached and tried take away customers...Rodney always knew it was good for business to have a lot of people coming to an area and he would get his business as they moved from bar to bar...Southdowns was the late crowd.

Parrain's is owned by the same two fellas that own the Chimes.

perfect move. Now the Ascension trash has a shorter drive. The West Baton Rouge crowd may feel slighted.

Do they have a good cougar population in Ascension Parish?
