PLAN A TRIP TO LOUISIANA GRANDSTAND
ENJOY OUR LEGENDARY LISTENING ROOM
With two great music spaces in one venue, we always recommend that concertgoers start and end their night at Louisiana Grandstand. Kicking the night off with a table reservation at the Listening Lounge, guests can enjoy an intimate show downstairs, complete with creative culinary delights and personally crafted cocktails not duplicated anywhere nearby. After taking in the delight of our downstairs experience, there are frequently ticketed theater shows upstairs with touring musicians from across the country making stops to perform some of your favorite music in the Legendary Listening Room.
Due to limited availability, we understand that many people will be looking for other dining options before shows. Shreveport/Bossier City is a tourist friendly area with lots of nearby casinos serving as anchor attractions to the area. We have compiled the list below to help first timers navigate how to have the best experience while visiting the the Grandstand in Shreveport. There are several good hotel & dining options in the area, but some areas should also be avoided, like any hotels in the airport vicinity. We have created an "experience" list of hotel and dining options we believe will enhance your trip to Shreveport/Bossier for a show at the Grandstand. We are not compensated for our recommendations, so we only recommend places based on desiring that your experience is great, and that you come back to visit us soon!
