Food was so delicious! I had the po boy chicken sandwich... I dont 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.

Great spot for dancing and drinking. I don’t recommend the popcorn chicken. Other than that, the nightlife was fun until closing (2AM).

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!

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.

80s 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 youre there.

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. Its tiny, the food is simple but tasty, the drinks are cheap and the bartenders are great! Great to meet strangers and people watching from their little patio. Youd easily walk past this place and not see it, its 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 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! 🎉

The bar itself is small but thankfully it doesnt attract a lot of people which is nice because theres more room to sit at the bar and its easier to get service. The food selection is pretty good and they do fun little games for themed drinks.

Absolutely one of the best bars in LA. Super local feel, owners Matt and Graham are badass and will make your night. Tons of fun, creative drinks and craft brews. Its more than just going out for a drink.

First time I came to WeHo I came to the Bayou and had a great time! The bartenders are awesome, fun creative drinks, great atmosphere. I now come to WeHo all the time so I always make sure to stop by my original WeHo bar!!! Love it here.

Reminds me of New Orleans - not so much from the cheeky decor, but the generous homage to the drinks from there and always super nice and funny bartenders. The amount of times I’ve gotten into Spice Girls or Britney Spears singalongs with everyone around me while waiting in line for the bathroom is ridiculous. It’s an absolute hoot.

The Buyou is a for-sure go-to in West Hollywood, CA, for a premium, chill, friendly nightlife experience. Its 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.

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.

This bar has a bad vibe. The bouncer Jim had a horrible attitude. I was at this location not even drinking, and he tried to cut me off because I bumped into him because I was walking outside to take a phone call. Good luck if you want to attend this horribly managed location. Would give them 0 stars if I could!!!

Bayou is small and gets busier as the night goes on. The slushes are strong and there are some great drink specials. Their crinkle cut fries for $5 are a dream before you start drinking.

A great place to start at for the night. Good prices and the owner is always a good time to chat with. The theming is on point and I love all the catchy pop songs that i always end up singing along to.

This place is adorable and fun for weekend clubbing. The drink specials are what brought us to this spot. Our bartender was awesome. The music was also awesome.

My girlfriend and I both had one drink there and couldnt remember a thing afterwards. Clearly we got drugged and my phone went missing as well and can never get anyone to answer the phone when I call. Groups of people go into the bathroom to do coke at a time so clearly no one cares how much drugs are in this place.

The pub all the locals love to hang at. Not too crowded, but busy enough to be entertaining. Really the go-to spot go meet people before and after bar hopping.

Bayou was so fun i just moved here from Denver Colorado and everywhere in weho all these guys have big muscular bodies which is so cool but at the B everyone was just normal day to day average joes with real lives and real personalities and conversation the bartenders put on little skits of dance performances they play movies on the big screen they talk to the guest and shake hands with the guest the make you feel like Bayou family I will visit this place again and again thanks bayou you truly are the voice for the LGBT community we love you B
