I’m trying to decide if this place will be successful or if it’ll be just another culcha-filled shithole. That location could easily set it up to be either.

My biggest fear is that TopGolf is not cheap and not something that you want to do more than a couple of times per year. I’m not sure BR has enough non-culcha residents to keep it afloat long term.

A lot of businesses use it as a fun work group team building event. This should fill up the 3pm-5pm slots on Friday. Will be dead during LSU home games but maybe packed after a day home game.

It's really not bad. The most it gets up to is about $50/hour, but you can have a about 8 people at a bay. For example, we went a couple of weeks ago for two hours on a Saturday night. It was packed and came out to about $16 a piece for the bay plus food and drinks.

Honestly I would have rather got that Buc-ee's than Top Golf...



Only rednecks think that.

TopGolf is going to do well in the Baton Rouge suburbs. Buc-ee's would be a better fit for Livingston or Satsuma.

Can college kids afford Top Golf?

The beer/food prices there are pretty high.

33 is the cut off? You’d think their target market goes up to early 40’s.

Don't know honestly.

They had a legit pool hall next door to Bogies and that couldn't make it.

This place is on the other end of the earth to an LSU student

I mean that's cool and all that yall are finally getting a loop though, but what happens when you can't go east or west on the highways because they are so fricked up when just one car loses control?

yeah.. I don't think this is aimed for the college crowd.

its for the fellas who are bored as frick in the ebr suburbs and don't want to just go sit at a bar, but want to get out of the house

there is no shortage of that demographic

You're biggest margin is going to be on the young people food and drinks. 40s have kids and won't be as frequent. They certainly aren't out of the market, but young people will be the best customers.

Agree.

In college, it was where are the cheapest drinks and the most girls. Not I wonder what's happening out on Siegen at wherever

Not sure if they are the target...but have you seen what LSU students are living in now? They are apparently much better off than my class was.

Excellent market in North Baton Rouge. This is just the beginning.

That's partly because of tops in the last 15 or so years.

Parents had way more money to pay for expensive living because tuition was so low.

That's gonna catch up quick with the amount of condos being built and the price of college through the roof

Got to be honest. I would be a hell of a lot more excited if this was a putt putt place on steroids.

Not sure about college kids, but hopefully it'll keep the undesirables from ruining it.

Who got the construction contract? Is it MAPP or one of the other locals?
