Slinky's

My favorite go-to place in Baton Rouge. It's always busy after football games, but I prefer to go in on other nights and just enjoy the interesting conversations that always pop up around the bar.
Perfect dive atmosphere complete with a leaning pool table, loud-ass jukebox, and old trophies of drunken escapades on the walls.
Good selection of bottled beers and spirits at really great prices.

I've heard this place is packed after football games, but I have yet to see more than 4 patrons in here whenever I go. That's fine by me when I'm trying to step away from the loudness of Northgate right next door. Very dark inside! Grungy with scratched up squishy round booths. Stuff hanging all over the ceiling. Visually interesting. I love to look at all that stuff... Past memorabilia, etc.

This is/was my go to spot in BR. I love it.
