Karaoke night at Mellow Mushroom sure has changed

If only they had watched the Gillette video

SWB and Gravy will hold a press conference and thank Mellow for keeping these kids off the street.

What a complete shithole this town is.

Not enough.

A $9 pitcher with a straw in it was my drink of choice.

Spent many a Wednesday night from 2006-2009 walking around that place with my straw and pitcher.

Jackson was seen running with a firearm in his hand around the tiger habitat





death penalty

2012-2016 was my time there and it was still decent then. Towards the end of that stretch it started to go downhill. Maroon 5 guy was holding that place together.

LSU has a major problem on their hands with all the section 8 that surrounds the campus.

When I was there 12 years ago it was avoidable but now the campus seems to be completely surrounded

Of all the places around campus they decide to occupy MM. I say occupy, because that’s what they do, most don’t buy anything they just occupy space and and a lot of them don’t even come inside they just hangout in the parking lot.

It’s a shame MM is getting the bad press. They aren’t catering to this crowd, the crowd just chose MM.

I notice this at LSU and UNO. The apartments and houses built decades ago for students are not desirable to current students.
When I was there one section of tiger land was rough and Aster street was pretty bad.
I can imagine it's much worse now. I bet places I though were nice in 2000 are hood central now.

WBRZ may have the worst written article I have ever read regarding this incident.

BATON ROUGE – Nearby gunfire caused chaos and panic in a packed bar parking lot near LSU after an evening of partying early Thursday.

Police said a gunshot fired near Mellow Mushroom on Burbank lead to hysteria among patrons who were leaving the area. As groups fled the parking lot, a person trying to drive out of the lot got caught in the crowd and was attacked as she knocked people over and bumped into cars.

The driver was beaten and her car damaged by the scared mob. Video recorded by onlookers shows the crowd encircling the driver and climbing on top of her car. Police can also be seen handcuffing that same driver and leading her away.

Police said the crowd was spooked when a group of guys a couple blocks away from the restaurant fired shots. It’s not clear if the shots were meant to scare the crowd or were related to another situation. But, police working an extra-duty shift at the restaurant heard the shot and responded.

When officers attempted to investigate the gunshots, the suspects drove off.

As the fleeing men sped toward LSU down Burbank and onto Nicholson, officers radioed to LSU Police, who intercepted the suspects’ vehicle.

Both LSU Police and Baton Rouge Police said one of the people in the car ran from the vehicle when it stopped and, while being pursued by campus police, tossed a gun alongside Mike the Tiger’s habitat.

Jaylon Jackson and Jarius Wells were arrested on weapons and resisting police.

Authorities said the gun turned out to be stolen.

No one involved in the scuffle at the restaurant was charged.

Social media posts suggest the restaurant has become a popular late-night hangout on Wednesday evenings and early Thursday mornings. Bars aren’t required to close until 2 a.m. Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Bars must close at midnight between Sunday and Monday.
