Typical college bar restaurant BUT this one has great service and delicious food! Definitely get the spinach and artichoke dip with the fried bow ties! We’ll go back next time we’re in town.

Located just steps from the LSU campus, The Chimes is one of Baton Rouge’s most beloved local institutions—a place where the warmth of Southern hospitality meets the energy of a college-town bar. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, with a long polished bar lined with dozens of beer taps and shelves of whiskey, a few televisions tuned to sports, and the friendly bustle of students and locals alike. It’s the kind of place that feels welcoming at any hour, whether for brunch, a casual dinner, or a late-night drink after a game. The food at The Chimes reflects Louisiana’s comfort-driven culinary spirit. The plate pictured, crawfish omelet with creamy grits and a warm biscuit, captures exactly what the restaurant does best: hearty, unfussy dishes made with care and a touch of local flavor. The portions are generous, the presentation simple but appealing, and the flavors unmistakably Southern. Combined with the friendly service and rustic wooden surroundings, it’s easy to see why this spot has earned such loyal regulars over the years. Highly recommended!

Right next to LSU. We wanted something that could be considered local, not a chain and not at New Orleans Pricing. Big comfy restraunt and bar. The neighborhood is better than Downtown New Orleans. A few homeless, the stores a little run down, but it is a college town. Plenty of families eating there. Oysters were large and came w8th plenty of horse radish, lemmons,crackers and cocktail sauce Gator bites delicious Pulled acoustic Beef poor boy with Fries was large portions

Pretty decent Cajun/southern food. The good: Dishes are big and flavorful, service was good, and they have the best beer menu in BR. The bad: The parking lot on very full and hard to find spots, the seafood pasta had an andouille sauce but only one piece of andouille, and the general noise was pretty loud.

The place had a nice lively feel without being overwhelming. I ordered the soup and salad and was very happy with my choice. The shrimp and corn soup was rich and flavorful. The beer selection is impressive, with plenty of options for every taste.
