our story
Loft18 was born from a shared passion for sports, hospitality, and bringing people together over great food and unforgettable experiences. With deep roots in New Orleans and years of experience in entertainment, sales, and restaurant operations, our founder Greg Whitman envisioned a modern sports bar and full-service restaurant that blends immersive multi-sport simulators, elevated comfort food, handcrafted cocktails, and genuine Southern hospitality.
That vision came to life with the opening of our first location in Metairie, Louisiana, in 2017. Today, we've grown across Louisiana and beyond, creating high-energy yet welcoming spaces where guests of all ages can enjoy a bite, watch sports on massive screens, and play interactive games together under one roof.
We're proud to be a truly family-friendly sports bar—a place where parents, kids, grandparents, and friends all feel at home. Whether it's a casual family meal, a game-day gathering with the whole crew, a birthday party, or just grabbing food while cheering on the team, Loft18 delivers for everyone: delicious elevated comfort food the family loves, non-alcoholic options alongside craft cocktails for adults, and fun multi-sport simulators that let kids and grown-ups alike hit the field, court, or course in an inclusive way.
In 2025, we launched our newest flagship design in Baton Rouge—a state-of-the-art space that elevates the entire Loft18 experience while keeping the warm, all-ages vibe that makes every visit special. With multiple locations open and more on the way, we're just getting started—and excited to bring this family-oriented, sports-loving destination to new communities.
