About Mud and Water

Mud and Water was an intimate downtown music venue and bar in Baton Rouge, renowned for its close-up sightlines and outdoor patio. Opened in October 2012 and reimagined as Brickyard South in August 2014, this space became a stepping stone in Baton Rouge’s live music scene. While the original Mud and Water venue has since evolved, the location at 174 South Blvd remains a landmark for locals who remember the intimate rooms that hosted bands like Generationals, England in 1819, and Shovels & Rope. This page offers an overview of the venue’s history, seating approach, parking, transit access, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you plan a hassle-free night out in downtown Baton Rouge.
