    If you desire a place to enjoy drinks at WeHo without breaking the bank, the Bayou is perfect. A good starting point that offers nice cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages. Plus, if you desire food they have a small menu that offers wings. Let the good times roll!

    Food was so delicious! I had the po' boy chicken sandwich... I don't know if it was because I was hungry or because it was so good but I ate the whole thing! Popcorn chicken was nice and juicy. Drinks were great too. They have the premade (strong) slushy like drinks. Bartender was super awesome and sweet. Took his time with us as we tried to decide what we wanted and acknowledged us when we came back to order another round. Owner came by since we were out on the patio to see if we needed anything and cleared away glasses/bottles. Had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. Great sayings and slogans throughout.

    Small, narrow, nola vibes. Always a great time. On the corner of santa monica and robertson so people watching on patio is great. Hardly been during the day so cant speak on the food or how late they serve.

    I went to LA for the second time 3 weeks ago. I wasn’t really planning on going out but one night I went to the Bayou and I’ve been to a lot of bars and I can say it was honestly a breath of fresh air! I had a great time. The atmosphere was fabulous, the drinks were great, and the overall vibe was something I couldn’t leave. Everyone in the bar was smiling and that’s something I can’t say I’ve seen everywhere. The employees were so much fun and really loved their job. I had the best time in LA and I didn’t have any idea that The Bayou would be my highlight. I loved it. I will be back!

    The bayou is my favorite spot in weho! All of the locals will agree! Cheap yet delicious drinks, fun music, loving welcoming staff, all around great atmosphere!! The decor will give you some good laughs too! Make sure you grab a fluorescent pen from the bar and draw your own piece of art on the walls. Happy drinking!

    Honestly this is my favourite WeHo bar. It's tiny, the food is simple but tasty, the drinks are cheap and the bartender's are great! Great to meet strangers and people watching from their little patio. You'd easily walk past this place and not see it, it's pretty nondescript! Super fun bar though.

    Besides the very small bathroom space the beverage prices are modest and served quickly. Many times have the flavored Jell-O shooters/nitrogen drafts been a fave. Bartenders so hot!

    The Buyou is a for-sure go-to in West Hollywood, CA, for a premium, chill, friendly nightlife experience. It's a fantastic venue for meeting new people, flirting, and getting your drink on! My previous Starbucks co-worker and friend, Shannon, along with our friend Arthur, have been going to The Buyou for as long as I can remember. The Buyou is definitely a West Hollywood staple that anyone wanting to expand their weho experience, meet new people and have lots of fun should visit.

    The Bayou is the spot! Cheap yummy drinks, fun dance music, and great vibes!! The staff is so fun and welcoming. Make sure you get the Jell-O shots! 🎉

    Very nice and welcoming! Queens are very interactive and positive! A very good experience for those who are trying to settle into the LA gay experience!

    Easily the best bar in LA. Hometown feeling, no pretentious bar with great prices. 5 years in LA, and still coming back at my first choice.

    Didnt let us in without shirts. Then I saw them kick someone out for smoking a cigarette. What kind of gay bar is this? Something Happened.

    80's night at the Bayou are always great, and keep me coming back. Small, but such a fun spot on the boulevard. Friendly bartenders, and fun drinks, like the Butter Beer. Take your chance & Spin the wheel while you're there.
