Established in 1995 by three former University of Texas students, Pluckers has grown to become a beloved destination for wing enthusiasts and sports fans alike.

The restaurant also boasts a full bar with a variety of cocktails and beers on draft, creating a lively environment for patrons to enjoy games and socialize.

Recent Developments

In December 2024, Pluckers closed its Baton Rouge locations after 21 years of operation.

The decision followed discussions with the franchisee about the rising costs of necessary upgrades for lease renewal.

Despite this closure, Pluckers continues focusing on expansion and the brand's future.
