BATON ROUGE. Long-lived and much-loved, this place is a great gathering place for college folks and those just out of that scene. The Caterie always offers a good supply of fun, and its casual ambience means that anyone can stop by and feel comfortable. Although it's more familiar as a bar, the place offers tasty pub fare, including sandwiches, burgers, and classic po'boys. Local bands play throughout the week, and you can also shoot pool, try your hand at foosball, or just sit and enjoy well-priced beer and free conversation.

BATON ROUGE. Comfortable and unassuming, Chelsea's offers a good time without a lot of pretense. It also offers all sorts of distractions, from live music by great local talents to sports on the TV and, sometimes, open mic nights. Two full bars offer dozens of imports and domestic beers, and nightly specials make imbibing even more affordable. Music (generally Wednesday to Saturday) ranges from rock and blues to funk, and crowds always make the performances a terrific experience. Plus, the food menu's eclectic: fried catfish po'boys, crawfish risotto, curried vegetables, and burgers, for example.

BATON ROUGE. Everybody knows the Varsity, Baton Rouge's nightlife mainstay near LSU's north gates. The place is best known for live music, and its roster has included Better Than Ezra, The Wailers Band, Kevin Martin, and other rock, reggae, and alternative performers. When they're not around, you'll find sports on huge TVs, LSU gameday events, and awesome dance parties. Most any time you go, the place is packed, but for a dose of local color and Louisiana fun, the Varsity is hard to beat.
