Going out for game day

If you’re not planning to follow the Tigers to Auburn for their first away game this season, never fear—Baton Rouge provides plenty of places for you to get a terrific view of the action. We asked our fans on Facebook to name their favorite places to catch the game. Here are a few of their responses:

Walk-On’s: Voted best sports bar in our 2012 Best of 225 poll, Walk-On’s Bistreaux and Bar combines a huge menu, inexpensive drinks and a great sports fan atmosphere. Be sure to grab a table early, though, as the restaurant becomes standing-room-only fast.

The Varsity: The Varsity’s huge screens mean you won’t miss a minute of the action—and their Thirst & 10 celebration assures you won’t run out of refreshments while you cheer on the team.

Schlittz & Giggles on Perkins Road: Nosh on piping-hot pizza and enjoy a cold beer while you take in the game on the giant projection screen over the bar.

Pluckers Wing Bar: This sports bar on Nicholson Drive is close to campus, so you can enjoy several flavors of wings, drink specials and a raucous student atmosphere.

Mason’s Grill: Munch down on one of their signature burgers at Mason’s weekly TigerVision party, and enjoy great drink specials from the bar.

Portico: One of Baton Rouge’s newest bars, Portico offers a full menu of tasty southern standards, as well as a covered patio with enough TVs to make sure you can catch the game no matter where you sit.
