Third Street Safety Debate Heats Up | Baton Rouge News

Third Street in Baton Rouge is heating up again after another brawl this weekend, sparking a fiery debate between bar owners over safety and responsibility. Daniel Unda of Somewhere Neighborhood Bar says he’s been fighting for over a year to keep his staff, customers, and business safe — even considering changing hours. Meanwhile, David Facey of DVT Entertainment, which owns Violet, defends his venue’s heavy security investment — including $50K spent on police, nightly officers, and a 12-person security team — arguing the issue is systemic, not isolated. As local officials remain silent, the community watches closely to see if authorities will finally step in to fix what’s turning downtown into a liability zone.
