BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A Baton Rouge upscale nightclub near LSU will reportedly be closing soon.
According to the business’s Instagram account, Dead Poet Nightclub, located on East Boyd Drive, is scheduled to close its doors this summer.
On May 15, business operator David Facey posted, “With mixed emotions, I announce that the Dead Poet Society will close its doors on July 4, 2023. I did not make this decision lightly, but our success here in Baton Rouge has presented countless local and national opportunities.”
Facey said he is appreciative of the community and clubgoers.
“I want to thank each of you for your unwavering support, trust, and enthusiasm. Dead Poet would only have flourished with your presence and participation. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your lives,” said Facey.
The upscale nightclub opened its doors in August 2020. Facey’s plan was to give Baton Rouge a nightlife experience that compared to major metro areas.
According to the post, Facey plans to move forward with Event Tree, a platform he says is designed to empower event organizers nationwide, “providing them with the tools and technology necessary to revolutionize their events.”
