Sunday evening July 2023, read the reviews and tried it out. Allen did not disappoint. The plum cucumber martini and old fashion were terrific, atmosphere was unique eclectic. We’ll definitely be back.

Small and cozy on the inside. Great, friendly bartenders. Strong drinks that are very different (also served in beautiful glasses)! Lots of cool nick-nacks/decorations inside. Definitely a great addition to the mid city area!

The Brakes Bar is a truly exceptional place. Drinks and atmosphere unlike anywhere in Baton Rouge. The place can get packed at times, but that’s apart of it. Bring ya boo thang with you if you need a great impression spot. Very niche. Very kewl.

Allen is a phenom! His cocktails are top-drawer. An ode to artists everywhere. An ABSOLUTE MUST SEE when in Baton Rouge. Sadly, he is not open on Tuesdays.
