The dilapidated almost century old building, located in West Monroe on the Ouachita River at the foot of the Endom Bridge, will reopen soon as Trapp's. Built in the 1920's, the building operated for decades as a fish market. In the second half of the 20th century it was converted into a restaurant, the popular Bayles Landing. The business closed and the building sat vacant for several years until it was purchased and, after a 15 month renovation, will reopen on March 16. The pilings have been girded and the building has undergone a miracle makeover while preserving the original structure as much as possible. Trapp's will have a Louisiana vibe with a menu of seafood, po'boys, crawfish, jambalaya and other Cajun delicacies, as well as steaks. The overgrown riverbank of brush and trash have been cleared, allowing boaters to tie up their vessels and eat at the new open air patio. To add to the festive atmosphere of the patio, a bandstand has been added. Customers will be able to sit down and eat while enjoying a view of the beautiful Ouachita River, as well as the Monroe skyline with its historic buildings.
