Venue Features

In Prairieville and Gonzales, there are two neighborhood spots where the lights are warm, the music is loud, and the community feels like family. Fat Cat Saloon and Coop’s have become home base for countless locals, musicians, and regulars who know they can always walk in and feel welcome. At the center of it all is owner Landon Shatoska, a man who grew up in the bar world and built two places that reflect the same heart he experienced as a kid.

Big J’s Side Porch isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a space where families share meals, kids play in the grass, and live music drifts across the porch lights.

La Divina Italian Café has quietly become one of Baton Rouge’s most beloved listening rooms — a cozy, gelato-slinging café where original music takes center stage.
