where do people between 35-50 hangout to listen to music and dance?


Places they can take their kids?

ETA: I think I can see what the OP is saying. The nightlife scene is changing and he feels left out.

Are you referring to the ones that can’t afford a babysitter for the evening?

Wasn’t like it was really hopping to begin with but It’s always better when the tigers are playing well.

Why don't we have more places like the Texas Club baw


We do, they're just in the suburbs. There's a half a dozen places like the Texas Club in Ascension, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge

Raxx in West Baton Rouge would be comparable, but nothing in Ascension and maybe the daiquiri bar in Livingston on magnolia bridge road. That’s about it.

Hell, I’m 24 and I feel that way. I would much rather go to a bar where I can get a seat and hangout with my friends rather than see a bunch of wasted 18 year olds acting like idiots.

dance clubs (Club 1913, Bogies, Fred's, JL's)


A drunk arse sorority girl getting up on the stage at JL’s and Bogie’s and doing...whatever it is they do when they get up there, isn’t dancing.

It's simple: if you want to get laid and meet girls, you go to a club. If you've already got a girl, or just want to hang out with friends and have conversations, you go to a pub. Why? Because the music at the club is too loud to have a conversation. And besides, if you have charisma, it's not like it's impossible to get laid at the pub, and most of the clubs have shitty overpriced drinks compared to the pubs. It's easy to see why their appeal has waxed why that of clubs has waned.

What are you expecting, a CYO dance with a swamp pop band? A John Travolta-style disco club? A 1930's swing joint? 20 year-old's (read 18-30 year old women) don't want that. They want to grind to some boosie and get shiitfaced with their besties so they have an excuse for the bad decisions they're about to make with the frat boy swoop with a coke problem driving his dad's 15 year old BMW.

City Bar on third street circa 2011 was the last club scene in Baton Rouge.

It might be a generational thing.. Before I was old enough to go to bars (when I was in HS), it seemed like just about every weekend someone was having a party (people who lived just outside of town that had room for parking.. Everyone would go there, hang out outside, drink, play music, etc). On weekends there were not parties, a group of us would still go out.. Ride around, find something to get into.. Drink, but we were always into something... A lot of times we were up to no good, but what do teenagers do these days?

That was extremely descriptive. What I’m talking about is what the OP would call dancing. Those aren’t really dance joints.
