1. Sing the Night Away at Sweet Caroline’s Dueling Piano Bar 

Sweet Caroline’s Dueling Piano Bar is an exciting new way to entertain in Bossier City. This live music experience is like no other. A piano bar that thrives on live performances.

“We looked all over Shreveport-Bossier for a location,” said DJ Roman, the co-owner of Sweet Caroline’s. “We looked at the pluses and minuses of each location. We weighed the options and decided the Louisiana Boardwalk had the fewest minuses and the most pluses!”

“The thing we love most about being in Bossier is the potential for Bossier City and the Boardwalk. We also love the fact that we have brought an incredible venue to Bossier City.”

At a piano bar, the pianist is usually a charismatic entertainer who takes song requests, leads sing-alongs, and engages with the crowd. From jazz to rock, show tunes, pop hits, you name it, the repertoire can be as varied as the audience attending that night. This is a feel-good attraction.

“We feel we have the best live entertainment in North Louisiana and were thrilled to bring it to Bossier City,” said Roman. “Our players that come through are the best in the country at what they do. These players travel throughout the world and we feel lucky to have them play here with us weekly.”

The vibe is always on point at Sweet Caroline’s Dueling Piano Bar and with several weekly events such as karaoke, trivia night, comedy shows, glow parties, and more, you are sure to have a good time no matter when you visit.

“Locals and visitors can expect an amazing experience found primarily in larger cities, right here in Bossier City.”

Lindsay Siskron, a resident of Bossier City and the general manager at the Silver Star North, Cantina & Buttercups restaurant, loves the location of the restaurant.

“I am from Bossier and the North location gives us a chance to give the Benton residents a taste of Silverstar,” she said. “Visitors and locals can expect a family-style barbeque when they visit. We also have Mexican food, seafood, burgers, plus Buttercups Cupcakes, and great customer service,” Siskron said. Residents and visitors love that no matter the party size everyone can get their favorite cuisine without going to multiple places.

“We have many husbands and wives come in and the husband will order barbeque, and the wife will order Mexican. That keeps the visitors happy,” Siskron said.
