About Old South Baton

Rouge

Old South Baton Rouge, located between Downtown Baton Rouge and Louisiana State University, is a historic and residential Baton Rouge neighborhood with a river-adjacent setting and a strong arts footprint. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mid City Makers Market at 1938 Government St, where vendor stalls, small-batch goods, and food pop-ups set a street-level rhythm. Shotgun cottages and mid-century homes sit along leafy blocks, with pockets of new infill near Government Street. Community life often routes toward BREC’s Expressway Park and the Mississippi River levee paths. The Cary Saurage Community Arts Center and Yes We Cannibal frame a local culture scene with galleries, performances, and a bar-and-kitchen energy. Coffee and casual meetups orbit Light House Coffee, tying daily routines to the neighborhood’s walkable corridors.
