The Station Sports Bar and Grill

What has happened to The Station?

When I was first going to bars, The Station was actually my very first bar I had ever been to. I don't know if I loved it because it popped my bar-cherry... or if it was legitimately a good bar, but I DO know it's a small shell of it's former self.

I went to The Station just for old time's sake a few weekends ago. It was a Friday/Saturday night (can't remember).. a night when any successful bar would be packed. Remembering my younger nights at The Station, I assumed it would be slammed.. but it was completely empty.

They had a live band on their calendar, but there was no band playing. When I inquired as to why, an employee told me that the band was sent home because the bar was too empty for them to make any money. Since the band got sent home before I arrived, I am not certain as to why I was charged $5 cover. Cover charges when there;s no band or DJ really aggravate me.

I only stuck around for about 30 minutes. Played a couple rounds of pool, and walked next door to Penthouse instead.

When I got to Penthouse, I saw the owner of the Station in there..

So there's that ;)

The staff were a little too friendly & the guy who said he was manager clearly had one drink too many. He was very generous in giving us free shots & when we didn't like the second one (a Jager-concoccion), he took 'em for himself! The background music consisted of Evanescence, Nickleback, Seether, etc & was very loud. Too loud.
Inside, the place was fairly clean & orderly. LSU & other sports memorabilia throughout. They do have a full-service kitchen with standard pub-fare. We didn't order anything (not hungry at the time), but their kitchen is open late & probably does really well during game nights.
All-in-all, The Station was not really my scene. I've been to many places that play loud jukebox music,  which I am not opposed to at all. I just feel that the music was way too loud even by nightclub standards. I am not trying to persuade the Yelp public from checking this place out & if you like hard rock hits & Jagermeister, look no further. Otherwise, there's better places to go in BR.

Wings and fries are good. Tuesday nights they have a live DJ. DjPk1 was everything the other nite!
