Good service! They make a great Shirley Temply with extra Cherries 🍒 & the music and Karoke are my fave. Some of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met walk through those doors.

I went there for the first time last Friday for the Metallica tribute band. I have heard stories about the bar being a bit “rough” in the past, but I have also read and heard that they have done a lot of work to change the image, build a nice stage/music venue, and create a safe environment. I am here to tell you that those stories are true! So true, in fact, that I brought my 22-year-old daughter to that show, and we felt completely safe! We had no issues with anyone. The bar tenders were great, and the fellow attendants were nice and respectful. I will be attending more shows at Bayou Thunder from now on, and whenever my daughter is in town again, I have no issue with bringing her with me.

Straight Jackets, formerly Bayou Thunder, is a live music venue/bar/event center. Easily accessed from all directions, close to I-20. The new idoor stage is sizeable.... there's also an outdoor stage. This place features local bands and nationally known bands. Powerman5k and adema will be there soon! Drinks drinks drinks! They have the best tenders in town. Its a lively fun place to be. Multiple T.V.'s , three video poker machines, video golf, dart boards, dart league, pool tables, pool league. Karaoke on a premium system. I think this should be the prime place for karaoke. You can tell a lot went into the sound system and stage. There's an ATM, digital jukebox with a HUGE selection of music. They have a small selection of food. The wings are good 👍🏼.
