Restaurant Week sponsor Loft18 and the faces behind DIG Magazine teamed up for a pre-party to celebrate the start of the city's most anticipated biannual event. 

Loft18 sits proudly on Constitution Ave, offering an interactive Sports Bar and Grill atmosphere. What does interactive mean? Getting to actually play sports. A lot of sports. Each custom-built golf bay inside features a large simulation, allowing guests and teams like DIG to play golf, darts, basketball, football, carnival games, and more, all without leaving the city. 

Summer Restaurant Week is July 21 through 26. This year, over 40 restaurants are participating, and if you do the math, you'll have to eat at about six or seven places a day to fit them all in. While that might be tricky to do, we do recommend picking six of your favorites and making a stop each day. 

Restaurant Week wouldn't be possible without our sponsors-- Loft18, Delta Utilities, Cayards, Visit Baton Rouge, Sysco, and Saratoga Water. One night next week, after you've hit your favorite spot during Restaurant Week, stop by Loft18 with your crew.
