Dark 30

Dark 30, a new bar focused on wine and craft cocktails, is planned for Third Street in downtown Baton Rouge and might be open by early March.

The bar would take over part of the space that formerly housed Lava Cantina. While the business won’t officially be open yet, it will host a permitted special event the day of the Spanish Town Mardi Gras parade, says Kara Robinett, who will be the co-owner with business partner Aaron Franklin.

Dark 30 is a military term for 30 minutes after midnight and is sometimes used as slang for the wee hours of the morning.
