Leicester's number 1 country bar and live music venue.
Bottomless Brunch, Free Venue Hire in Leicester City Centre
ABOUT
Baton Rouge started life as a wild little country bar in Hinckley — a place where people came for live music, country bangers, and full-send nights that always went too far in the best way.
Leicester wanted in… so we opened our city-centre venue and built something different:
A two-floor, Nashville-inspired space built for parties, not just pints.
From bottomless brunch takeovers to full-venue parties, we’re where the Midlands comes when it wants a night that feels like Broadway in Nashville, without leaving LE1.
Big music. Big flavour. Big nights – designed around your event.

HOW THE £500 HIRE GUARANTEE WORKS
Simple, fair, transparent — with no hidden costs or minimum spends
Baton Rouge Leicester is free to hire — we don’t charge a venue hire fee.
To secure your date, we take a £500 hire guarantee.
This guarantees your exclusive booking and covers our staffing for the night.
If your expected guest numbers attend on the night:
the full £500 becomes bar credit for your group to spend on the night*.
This credit covers:
-
Drinks
-
Cocktails
-
Soft drinks
-
Food
-
Bar purchases for your group
If your guest numbers drop massively… (This is rare, but for example: booked for 120, only 60 show up) your £500 becomes the fee to cover staffing, prep and lost bar revenue.
Normal drop-offs are absolutely fine.
If you book for 100 and 85–95 show up, no problem at all.
⭐ No minimum spend
⭐ £500 credited to your bar tab
⭐ FREE hire
*Bar credit must be used on the night
