BJ’S Lounge

Five Bywater Bars and Restaurants Have Been Burglarized in the Last Two Weeks | Eater New Orleans

"BJ’s Lounge, another beloved cash-only dive bar and live music venue a block from Vaughan’s, had perpetrators force entry through an A/C unit and access a safe in the office holding $6,500; proprietor Ryan Scully said the bar was set to get a new security system, urged businesses to "find your weak spots and strengthen them," and launched a GoFundMe that had raised $5,250 of a $6,500 goal." - Clair Lorell
