Unknown Hall

Status: Closed

Parish: St. Martin

Location: St. Martinville area

Patricia Davison: “A strictly after hours place. After all the bars in Lafayette closed, you would ride out to the St. Martinville area. You’d go down road after road through sugar cane fields. Then you’d come to a big oldroadhouse type place. It was open from 2 AM until 6 AM. It was a huge old wooden warehouse. It was BYOB or you could buy a bottle of liquor and mixer for your table. A set-up type place. There wasn’t really a wait staff. I don’t remember if there was a live band, but I know there was a jukebox and tons of people. You could never find it on your own- you’d have to be with someone who knew it.”
