Mother's Lounge

Nestled in downtown Baton Rouge, Mother's Lounge stands as a vibrant beacon of entertainment and creativity. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's both fun and exuberant, yet delightfully different. It's '80s glam, '70s disco, a touch of grunge, and a whole lot of red. It's totally a vibe.

The journey began with a sketch drawn by the owner's mother—a '90s glam shot with big hair and bold attitude. It was a visual cue that sparked a feeling, a sensation the team was eager to capture. Homages to this iconic sketch adorn the space, from the framed original proudly displayed on the red wall near the entrance to the shrine-like stage, illuminated by neon lights spelling out "Mother's" beneath a dazzling disco ball. This theme serves as the heart of the bar's branding, drawing on the symbolism of a drag mother—a figure of protection and guidance nurturing her protégés.

As you step into the main bar area, the walls welcome you with a lively shade of red, complemented by a luxurious merlot trim, while the floors boast a hand-painted pattern that adds to the allure. Quirky mirrors preside over plush red velvet booths, creating an atmosphere perfect for intimate conversations. At the bar, ombré fringed barstools invite guests to perch on a counter adorned with sparkling sequins and topped with striking red quartzite stone.

Serving as the central artery of the space, a runway-inspired hallway has been transformed into an art installation, brought to life by the vibrant glow of neon lights.

Ascending upstairs, guests are greeted by scalloped lounge chairs that provide a luxurious contrast to the shimmering gold tables, setting a tone of opulence.
