The Colonel’s Club—the brainchild of Baton Rouge restaurateur Jordan Piazza—will soon open in the former home of Kalurah Street Grill, 225 Magazine reports.
The new restaurant is an ode to the original Colonel’s Club, a speakeasy and live music venue that operated in the space in the 1960s. The private club was conceived by Jesse Lee Sheppard, aka “the Colonel,” a local pilot and entrepreneur who also used the building as an aircraft hangar and workshop.
Inside, patrons will find a Gilded Age travel design scheme created by noted local firm Tiek Byday, contemporary artworks curated by Ann Connelly Fine Art and quirky Baton Rouge memorabilia from the family of the titular Colonel. All of those features work together to tell an old-meets-new story layered with visual detail.
The menu, meanwhile, will be built around “American favorites with a worldly twist.”
