Louisiana's capital city brings a distinctly Cajun-Creole flavor to its party venue scene, where celebrations come with a side of live music, world-class food, and genuine joie de vivre. Baton Rouge sits along a dramatic bend in the Mississippi River, and its best venues take advantage of that setting with riverfront terraces and garden courtyards draped in Spanish moss.
