Open since 1983 on Highland Road, The Chimes is the LSU institution that outlasted everything — the bar where generations of students spent their last night before graduating and their first night after turning 21. The beer list runs to over 100 bottles and drafts; the food is genuine Cajun and Creole rather than campus approximations. The crawfish étouffée is the standard against which locals measure every other version in the city.
