Old Lake Charles Bars We’d Give Anything to Visit Again

Lake Charles -KNGT: Sometimes, when we have conversations with other people, we tend to travel back in time and discuss things from the past. You know those conversations that start with "Do You Remember blank?"

We started that conversation the other day on social media and asked, "When you were younger, what Bar/Watering hole do you miss the most in SWLA?" The answers flooded in, and you brought up a ton of bars, watering holes, dive bars, and restaurants that used to have live music we miss dearly.

As we read your answers, the memories just came flooding into our minds, and we thought about events, concerts, and events that took place at each location that kept Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana people coming back time and time again.

So, who did you name as the one you miss the most? We compiled a list for you of the ones that you said, and let's see if any of these on the list bring back memories for you.
