Baton Rouge Tips:

Rush hour in BR is truly awful. Try to avoid driving on weekdays between 4-6:30 if at all possible!
BR is only a little over an hour from New Orleans so it is a quick day trip

Adventures & Ales Top Recommendations:

Tin Roof Brewing Co: Great beers, great atmosphere! Free brewery tours and a large outdoor space with frequent live music
Louie's Cafe: The best breakfast spot! A traditional old diner that I highly recommend
The Chimes: Don't miss the spinach and artichoke dip at this college bar and restaurant

The Classic Tourist Spots Actually Worth Visiting:

LSU: Tiger Stadium is incredibly impressive, but the rest of the campus is really pretty as well
Louisiana's Old State Capitol: This building looks like it's from the medieval times, definitely check it out!
