Red Stick Social

Amazing bowling/event venue with live music and good ambiance! I came here on Friday night for bowling, and we had the best time.For a Friday night at 7 this place was pretty empty. Right when we arrived, a band called Night Hog start to perform. They were really good! They played on the first floor stage, and we sat at the seating right across from them. There was a dance floor in between us, but no one was dancing. We sat here for quite some time while we waited to bowl, so we kept going to the other side of the first floor to get drinks from the bar. Bar service was great! I never waited for a drink, and the bartenders gave good recommendations. Typical bar with plenty of cocktails and beers. When it was our turn to bowl, we went up to the 5th floor and got our lane. It is $25 an hour per lane, which I think is an amazing deal. At the lane, there are places to sit, tvs, tons of bowling balls and four total lanes. For bowling you were able to choose different games after you finished your round. I really like how they didn't make you change your shoes.. you could bowl in heels if you wanted. Show rental is free!This was an old warehouse converters into an event venue... just so cool. I love that each floor is different and there are bars in every floor, so you don't have to go back down to the first to keep getting drinks. Such a fun time!

Classmates of my daughter were performing for the Thursday night jam. This is a really nice place and I definitely will have to come back for bowling. The drinks were really strong and we shared the fries I didn't realize the waitress didn't hear my complete order but it was noisy. I don't eat bacon so I just pushed it to the side but it other than that they were good. It's really nice that they also give the kids a platform to display their talents. The lounge seating was comfortable as well.

Mother's Day bottomless brunch and buffet. I met my sister, mom, and cousin there along with our friend, her mom and sister, her two daughters, her niece and grand daughter. We did the Buffett and bottomless. We enjoyed the live band playing. The biscuits were so soft hot and fresh. It was self serve and the bartenders happily kept the carafes filled with champagne.

It was a pretty big venue. I think they can hold multiple events there at a time. When we first got there, there were a decent amount of people at the bar, so it took us 15 minutes to get our drinks. They had a select draft menu and cans only. The bartenders didn't seem too knowledgeable. They had a live band playing for entertainment. It was really loud though so my friends and I couldn't really hold a conversation with each other. My friends went upstairs for some bowling and that was really fun. We also got the loaded fries and added chicken to it which was delicious.

Venue was really nice! Nice ample parking, and great decor. I attended a concert that was horrible based on the late arrival of the artist and then horrible sound of her mic. I'm not sure if that was the dj issue or the venue's sound system. I didn't have any drinks, but I did try the boudin balls. They were pretty good. I would go back.

I would typically recommend this place for a nice cocktail and bowling. However, I went there for brunch on 7/23/23 with some friends and unfortunately all of us got food poisoning. Initially I thought it was the mimosas not sitting well with me, but the symptoms continued for 3 days. I called my friend and she was also cramping, vomiting, and having diarrhea. We both was unable to keep down any food or water. I may consider revisiting Red Stick Social for other purposes but I won't be attending brunch again soon. I suggest management triple check cleaning routines and food prep.

Such a great time! My parents, brother and I went here to celebrate my birthday. Lunch was pretty good. But we had such a great time bowling. It was so fun to enjoy that experience with everyone. Especially since everything is off today and there is always great service I would highly recommend bowling here.

The ladies in the family thought it would be good to get out for a ladies night. My sister in law suggested Red stick social. I had never been but I had a cousin who had gone and said it was pretty good. We went in. Saturday night at 7:30. LSU was playing away!So the building is nice and modern. There are string lights that you can see from Government street. There is a gravel parking lot across from the building. Ppl park terrible and it fills fast. You walk up to the building and there is the sweetest security guard sitting outside. Very welcoming. We walk in and it's like an outside patio empty space below and then up the stairs there are some stables to be seated outside. Walk in and you are told to go to the hostess station to request a table. Looks like there is seating in that area and a stage for a band. We were seated immediately! We sat in what appeared to me the main dining area. We were seated between 8:15-8:19. No one had greeted us by 8:20. I happened to see a girl and I asked her is this the bar area where we are expected to walk up to the bar for service? She replied "no let me see who is assigned to you" she came back 2-3 min later and said "the hostess didn't write this table down and no one assigned so I'll take yaul" I was like thanks. Mind you.....it is EXTREMELY LOUD!!!!!! I mean really loud!I asked was the sweet tea freshly brewed or from a tap and she replied "it's brewed but it's definitely not fresh" Ummm........ok I just got a margarita and it was just ok ! My cousins ordered the frozen and I had on the rocks. They said theirs didn't taste like anything.4 of us got smoked wings and crawfish MAC. The other lady ordered the shrimp, with the wings......The food was ok! The Mac and cheese was good and if I ever went back I would order it again.....I didn't bowl but to me the food isn't worth the price that it is. The service was mediocre. The young lady was nice but it was evident that she was swamped! I mean if someone has an event and I'm invited I may go but for me to just want to go there will be a strong no but who knows

I've been to Red Stick Social twice in the past two weeks. My first time here I was with my coworkers for a team outing. And the second time with a friend to celebrate her birthday. All in all, I had a great time! I love the way that the inside still has traces of the warehouse/factory. I'm a huge sucker for industrial design so naturally I was in love with the interior. Both times I stopped by there was a $10 cover to get in because of live music which I did not mind but it's good to keep in mind if you just want to come to bowl. The live band are a bit too loud for me because it was hard to talk to anyone even when we sat close. I assume it's loud so that it's heard from all 5 floors but it seemed like only the 3rd (maybe 4th) floor were open to bowlers. The atmosphere a live band brings is nice though! The staff is very friendly and willing to help with any request we had. I noticed some reviews about larger parties not having a great time but we didn't not have any issues for the team outing (group of 12). Granted, this was on a Thursday night. When I came back with my friend on a Saturday night, the building was packed. It looks like the bartenders are also responsible for not only making drinks and taking food orders but also setting up bowling lanes, getting shoes/socks, etc. I could instantly see how service can slow down when a number of tasks has to be split between 2-3 workers with a full house. I was patient and understood that there may be a lot on their plate. On top of that, many places are slowly reopening & they only have a partial menu out now so I'm sure there's a plan for them to be fully open & staffed as well. Nonetheless, this place is awesome and has HUGE potential. I'm excited to return with more friends and see what other activities/live music they have in store.

Didn't know this place existed until a member if my church took member took me here. He wanted to check out the bowling alleys. That section (on the second floor) was closed off that day for a private party but I was impressed with what I did see. Lots a space, a nice bar, a stage which people were dancing on that night but I imagine they have bands usually and lots of seating as well. The building was a power plant at one point from what I understand and you can see that. Brick walls and other elements left in. That night my friend had a Blue Moon and I had a Moscow Mule which was served in a cool copper mug. The age range seems to be varied but seems to be on the younger side. People seemed ready to have a good time as several women approached me that night which doesn't usually happen on the dive bars I usually go to - guess I've still got it!Can't say much about the food menu because we didn't order anything but I have heard good things about it. The bartenders were quick to take my order through and there was a nice selection. If I wanted a fun night out or had friends in town who wanted to get together, I would definitely choose Red Stick Social.
