Baton Rouge has needed a smaller bar/venue that books mid level touring bands for a while. Mid city ballroom is cool but it not serving alcohol was always a drawback.

With the varsity and spanish moon gone, this will be the spot

Damn. Black Angels would be a great show. Awesome first booking.

I know it was reported here awhile ago to be in the works, but I like how they came out of nowhere this weekend with a well orchestrated social media blitz and already have two shows booked from touring bands.

Anyone know the capacity of the venue?

600 apparently

Also hearing the demise of the Varsity is premature

The Varsity closed? What happened? I moved away about two years ago.

Also, anyone in BR should go check out The Black Angels. They're awesome.

I know the former manager of the varsity has another job elsewhere and said they have no plans to host events other than gamedays and private stuff.

RIP mud and water. The best small bar venue BR has ever known.

thanks Mb, but that belongs to the Bayou. But you are kind. The best former dank, lesbian bar under a bridge to get a calendar of some names in a matter of months I would say.

Bayou was cool but I liked the feel of mud and water better.

Their talent buyer booked the moon and other venues for 20 years so has some solid relationships with agencies … won’t take long
