1:  Noble Savage Taveren.  A nice pub that has an excellent selection of drinks and food, if a bit on the pricey side.  Often has blues, rock, and folk bands playing as well as darts and pool.  Rarely a cover charge, and its open for all ages.  Located on Texas Street across from the downtown library.

2:  Keeping with the blues, Tommy's Place on Marshall is fairly decent.  The bands are normally good and the drinks are reasonably priced.  Cover is usually $3 - $5.  On Marshall St. across from the fun shop.

3:  The Venue.  New place in Bossier City.  Strictly live bands.  We'll check it out soon and post more info.

4:  Southpaws on the river front is one of the downtown strip clubs that often has local and national acts playing.  Cover varies according to band, and drink prices are about standard for the location.

5: Mojo's.  Granted its a downtown bar, and we normally dont go for the whole scene down there, but its not a bad place really.  Moderatly priced and usually fairly quiet.  The best part is my old friend Mike behind the bar.  Be sure to watch him mix a few..  its worth the price.  Located on Texas St. at the foot of the neon bridge.

more coming soon
