The Brakes bar is like something out of a movie. You have no idea what you’re a walking into, and then it is just the best surprise. Allen is amazing. So knowledgeable and the drinks couldn’t be better. Everything is so well thought out. We will without a doubt be back.

Allen is a phenom! His cocktails are top-drawer. An ode to artists everywhere. An ABSOLUTE MUST SEE when in Baton Rouge. Sadly, he is not open on Tuesdays.

There is a selfish part of me that wants to give a 1 star. I don't want anyone else knowing about this hidden gem of a sophisticated cocktail bar. The drinks were amazing and top notch. The craft applied is by far the best in town. No other places I know of brews tea for a drink, reduces pineapple, and many other micro touches to make a drink. The bar tenders know their craft, they aren't simply following pre-done recipes. They can make you a drink off your request. I would only make two requests to the business, you could turn the lights up a little bit. I leave with the feeling of the strip club scene from Varsity Blues when they hit the daylight. Also, please plan for when this place blows up. I keep hoping BR can finally support a unique, high quality, and niche place like this. Tell the William H. Macy look-a-like to keep on. He was great.

Sunday evening July 2023, read the reviews and tried it out. Allen did not disappoint. The plum cucumber martini and old fashion were terrific, atmosphere was unique eclectic. We’ll definitely be back.

Small and cozy on the inside. Great, friendly bartenders. Strong drinks that are very different (also served in beautiful glasses)! Lots of cool nick-nacks/decorations inside. Definitely a great addition to the mid city area!
