The Queen Baton Rouge opened its doors a little more than one year ago, making history as the first landside casino operation in the city. Originally launched as a riverboat casino in 1994, The Queen has undergone multiple transformations, including a recent $85 million revamp to its current facility. This historic shift represents a significant milestone for Baton Rouge’s entertainment scene, offering a mix of gambling, dining and an unbeatable environment for watching sports.

At the heart of The Queen’s football experience is 1717, where sports enthusiasts can revel in more than just great food. With over 40 strategically placed TVs, every seat in the house is the best seat for watching the game. From touchdowns to instant replays, you won’t miss a moment of the action.

Throughout the fall, The Queen offers food and drink specials. Enjoy $3 draft beers, $15 buckets of bottled beers, and gameday platters of nachos, wings and sliders for $25 on Thursdays and Mondays from 4 p.m. to close and all day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Be sure to also check out the Tailgate Brunches on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

DraftKings Sportsbook

For those looking to add a little extra thrill to their game-watching experience, The Queen’s DraftKings Sportsbook offers one of the best sports betting environments in the region.
