George's Place

  Things to Know: No Cover. Largely Male Clientele though their lady friends do frequently tag along. Sometimes there are a lot of ladies who love ladies in the establishment and other times you are banging your fist down on the bar and yelling "Where are all the freaking lesbians!" - Seriously, ladies of Baton Rouge, where are you all hanging out????
  
  Anywho, prices are o.k. I won't say they are ridiculously cheap but not overpriced, I guess decent, hell, $6 for a shot of Maker's is pretty good I suppose. They DO have Karaoke but just on Wednesdays and Thursdays I've been told. Typical TV's that blare loud music - check. Stage for Drag Shows - check that (I finger snapped as I said this in my head). There's also a pool table, a cigarette machine, and a snack machine (well I am pretty sure there's a snack machine). There are male bartenders and looks like they have a female bartender as well - though it wouldn't hurt for management to hire another (Do ya'll hear me!). This place is SMOKY which was great for me when I smoked - not so pleasant now that I've stopped smoking. Bar closes down at 2pm, but this is Baton Rouge, which is lame, so all bars close at 2pm....Oh yes, this is a dive bar so no need to be all fancy, anything goes and anything appears to be appreciated.  Sure hoped that helped.

  George's is a gay dive bar with a primarily male clientele; although, there are plenty of lesbians who go there too. My favorite nights to go are Tues-Thurs during the Kats Ass Karaoke. (Note: Tipping the guy who runs it lets you sing sooner & more frequently.) On other nights there is music & dancing, and there is always a constant stream of either drag shows or gay soft porn (nothing too raunchy or odd) playing on several TVs. The drinks are well-priced, & there is no cover for 21+ ($5 cover for 18-21).

  I much prefer this bar to any other alternative bar in Baton Rouge. Reminds me of the bars back at home in Lafayette.  I've always had a friendly experience here!!

  I have to completely disagree with Mike T's comments. I love this bar. George's welcome's everyone. The majority of the people are gay, but I am straight and have a FANTASTIC time there when I go with my gay guy friends. It is very tourist friendly, I have even brought in my parents and little sitter from out of town and they were welcomed with open arms. The owner, Guy, even bought them a drink when he found out they were in from out of town. It is a great place, a home away from home for me and so many others. Karaoke is awesome. So is the dancing and drag shows.

  This is a Gay bar and although it's 95 percent men anyone can go and still feel comfortable. I go when I just want to sit at a bar and have a drink with friends. Not reccomended for dancing, they have kareoke (I know I can't spell) and the drinks are cheap. If you pay with credit or ATM there is a $10 minimum and they have no cover charge to get in.
