The Downtown Maintenance Committee has recognized the ninth downtown business with outstanding exterior maintenance and beautification. Driftwood Cask & Barrel, located at 326 Third Street, was awarded the November Downtown Distinction Award for their outstanding efforts in the Bar/Lounges category.

Nestled in the heart of the Central Business District, Driftwood Cask & Barrel features an easy-going atmosphere with thoughtfully paired food and drinks. Guests are invited to sit down and relax, have a drink, a few bites, and stay awhile. This hip, rustic venue was recently recommended by The Advocate as one of Baton Rouge's "17 bars you don't want to miss." Check out the link below for the full article!

As a reminder, each month a downtown business or organization will be selected from a different category to highlight the variety of businesses and organizations contributing to downtown's quality of place and community pride. At the end of twelve months, citizens will vote on which of the previous award winners deserve the 'People's Choice' Award!

Congratulations to Driftwood Cask & Barrel!! Stay tuned for December's Downtown Distinction award winner in the Tourist Destination category.
