After nearly 15 years as a go-to local spot for live music, gatherings, and unforgettable nights, Route 92 has announced it will close at the end of 2024. Located at 2600 E Milton Ave in Youngsville, the beloved neighborhood bar and music venue has been an Acadiana fixture, drawing crowds for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse live performances, and welcoming local feel.

Owned by Bert Istre and Rusty Hebert, Route 92 began as a small project and blossomed into a major hotspot, offering entertainment for various tastes, from rock and country to hip hop. Over the years, the venue’s stage has hosted everyone from Louisiana’s own rap icon Juvenile to country legend John Anderson, creating a musical connecting point for many walks of life when it came to their regulars and new friends alike.

As a result, Route 92 has built a legacy as both a lively hangout and a cherished local spot to unwind, share laughs, and enjoy Acadiana’s joie de vivre.
