BATON ROUGE — A north Baton Rouge after-hours club was shut down due to a code violation, according to a report by The Advocate

The Lil Blue House on Osage Street, owned by Allnite Entertainment, had its certificate of occupancy revoked and its power shut off due to the business having alcohol on-site despite having an occupancy classification as a reception hall without alcohol. 

Reception halls are required to have a major use conditional permit and a license from the Office of Alcohol Beverage Control to serve alcohol according to the Unified Development Code. 

While after-hours clubs can't legally serve alcohol or encourage visitors to bring their own, Allnite Entertainment allegedly posted photos and videos from inside the Lil Blue House showing people drinking alcohol as recently as June 25 and as far back as October 2024, according to the paper. 

Allnite Entertainment could potentially face a nuisance abatement, which works to remove harmful activities that affect property use, District Attorney Hillar Moore shared. 

In February, 27-year-old Demarcus Variste was killed in a shooting outside the Lil Blue House. 

"It's quite honestly very dangerous to have these places operating without a license," Alcoholic Beverage Control  Board Member Scott Wilfong said.
 
Wilfong said current city ordinances do not fully address establishments like Lil Blue House because these clubs do not serve alcohol, nor do they carry alcohol permits. He also says there are discussions between law enforcement, the District Attorney's office and Metro Council members regarding an ordinance that would give authorities the power to shut these businesses down.
Allnite Entertainment also operated Big Blue House on Choctaw Drive. In June 2025, Prenesha Wagner was killed outside that after-hours club.
