1. Ernest’s Orleans Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge

The atmosphere at Ernest’s Orleans Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge in Shreveport offers a romantic setting coupled with elegant food and superb service.  The business has been operating for more than 65 years, and they have figured out the formula for an elegant culinary experience.  They serve tasty USDA Prime steaks, Sicilian-Italian and seafood dishes, and you must get the flaming gumbo — yes, FLAMING.  They are renowned for their uniquely marinated crab claws.  Speaking of flaming — you must try to leave room for dessert.  The Banana’s Foster is made tableside, flames and all. A trip to Ernest’s is an experience for the senses.  It’s a feast for your palate as well as a feast for the eyes.  

2.Red River Social Kitchen + Bar

If a more casual feel is your scene, head to downtown Shreveport to the Red River Social Kitchen + Bar.  With room for live music, line dancing, and karaoke, there is always something social to soak up.  Big TV screens and cold beer await sports fans.  As for the food, it’s where “American cuisine meets Southern Hospitality.”  Burgers? Yep.  Signature wings? Of course.  And if you’re the more adventurous type, check out the mouth-watering Cajun pasta dishes.  VoodooPasta is fire.

3.High Gravity Glassworks

If you really want to turn up the heat with your special someone, then you may get fired up about High Gravity Glassworks. Join one of their classes, workshops, or book a private event, and the team at High Gravity will happily give you the lowdown on safely making your own glass creation. 

4.Escape SBC

Those who dare to test their relationships may want to choose Escape SBC for a wild night out.  The experiences will test your wits and patience, but if you love a little teamwork and a challenge, this place is for you. There are convenient locations in Shreveport and Bossier City.  Solve a sinister secret and get a little spooked, if that is your thing, or immerse yourselves in an apocalyptic mystery by clocking the movements of the odd little old lady next door.  

5.Chasing Aces

No skill is required to get into the swing of things at Chasing Aces in Bossier City.  Take a whack at the Par-3 Course, channel your inner Tiger Woods in the Swing Bays, or celebrate that sinking feeling in the Putting Zone.  When you’re ready to relax, the Chasing Aces Sports Bar is the perfect spot to satisfy your thirst and hunger pangs.  I see you, “Caddy Stack,” and I raise you. Now, if you’d rather swing a bat than a club, Chasing Aces is here for you with its Home Run Dugout Batting Bays.
