Maybe I'm a highfalutin person. I don't know. But the Lyceum did not impress me at all. I will say that it is a good space to hold an event as it has plenty of room downstairs and up.
What I didn't really care for was the look. The interior looks dated like nothing has been replaced since the 80's. The walls are all white and could probably use some artwork or a coat of paint. The chandliers should be replaced too as they looked old.
I like venues that appeal to the eye as much as anything else when going to a party/event. The Lyceum didn't catch my eye. The staff is

So this is not really a review, but I want to go to a party here AND I want someone who has been to a party here to review.
A professional group that I'm involved with is considering this space for our closing party at a conference in Baton Rouge later this year. We didn't have an appointment but the manager just happened to be in and gave us a tour. What a fabulous space! I guess it's an old ballroom and while it was a bit grungy (can't fault them we dropped in unexpectedly), it's got such great architectural details.
I hope this is where our party ends up.
