The bar is also partnering with the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. Customers are encouraged to bring a non-perishable canned or dry food item upon entry.
It’s been a long, winding road for TimeOut. The bar’s old location at 9374 Old Hammond Highway was destroyed by a fire in December 2013. Last year, TimeOut was set to move into a commercial space off Perkins Road. However, those plans were shot down when the city-parish Planning Commission voted against rezoning the property for a bar.
Fasullo’s mother and stepfather—Kathleen and Jerome Byers—own the bar, and they renovated the space to be more of an upscale bar as opposed to a sports bar. TimeOut Lounge will feature live music, billiards and darts and will be smoke free. Business hours are Monday-Saturday 4 p.m.-2 a.m.
