Best Cocktail Bars In Baton Rouge

Maybe you’re looking for a place to grab cocktails before dinner or a good happy hour place to head to after work. These cocktail bars have some of the best bartenders around mixing up some delicious drinks to sip on. Here are my go-to Baton Rouge cocktail lounges.

  • Bin 77 Sidebar

    Bin 77 Sidebar is one of my favorite cocktail bars in Baton Rouge. Located in Perkins Rowe, Sidebar is separated from Bin 77 Bistro by an awesome courtyard that has live music starting Thursday nights and going through the weekend. With seating available inside, Sidebar is perfect regardless of what the weather is doing. An added plus, they have a full food menu with some incredible bites on it.

  • Olive or Twist

    Olive or Twist is a great spot to start or end a great night out and about! They have a patio outside and a vibey interior that makes ya feel fancy. They have some really good specials on beers and cocktails depending on the night of the week which is always a win. They also have a super solid food menu in case you want something to snack on! Definitely one of the go-to cocktail bars in Baton Rouge.

  • Lotus Lounge

    Previously the cocktail bar of Soji: Modern Asian, the Lotus Lounge rebranded itself as a separate entity, getting a menu refresh and a more distinct and redesigned space in the restaurant. Still under the same ownership and serving as the cocktail generator for Soji, the Lotus Lounge became a great spot to grab drinks with or without eating there! A great feeling space that’s elevated and on-trend, Stop at Lotus Lounge next time you’re looking for cocktails in Baton Rouge.
