Bumsteers co-owner Eric Carnegie says he and his team never thought their restaurant, the latest to open in the Perkins Road overpass area, would turn out how it did, 225 reports.
They began preparing to take over the former Crispy Catch location without even considering a rooftop bar and restaurant.
But after hanging out at a nearby apartment and noticing the flat roof, Carnegie and his team started plotting to bring something new to Baton Rouge.
While you can already hang out on the rooftops of places like Tsunami at the Shaw Center, L’Auberge Casino & Hotel and the new Red Stick Social, Bumsteers’ rooftop space is the central feature, rather than an addition to the restaurant.
Bumsteers has a relaxed atmosphere—think a family barbecue, except with shrimp tacos and interesting burger combinations instead of hot dogs on the grill. There are also a few areas to play pool, foosball and giant Jenga, making it a good spot for date night or a nice hangout with friends. The menu is a mix of classics like smoked wings and burgers and more unique dishes like the Thai Beef and Noodle Salad.
