Reviews for Bayou Bar in New Orleans, LA
We sat at the bar and had a great time with Tyler the bartender. Every drink he made was delicious. He recommended a Pimm's Cup... and I couldn't have been happier. I highly recommend not showing up in a rush and to try the burger. Read more
JC was a great server and the food/drinks are absolutely worth it for a nice lunch before evening plans.
My wife and I came to the Bayou Bar looking for some music and good vibes. We got there a little before the musicians started,... but we had an awesome waitress that took care of us. After sharing some deliciously well seasoned calamari and gumbo, the placebegan to fill up with eager patrons. The acoustics emphasize the musicians instead of the bar noise. It?s a small space, so itreally has that old time tavern feel. Read more
One of my favorite spots to see jazz in New Orleans. Peter has done a great job cultivating an amazing space, with incredible... musicians. You never know who?s going to sit in. Cocktails aren?t cheap, but tasty. Great whiskey selection, great oldfashioneds. Order the kale Caesar if you?re hungry, shares a kitchen with Jack Rose. Read more
Delish food. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable.
GET THE BURGER! Everyone in out party had it, and we all agreed it was stellar! The bun is fantastic and everyone's burger was... cooked exactly as requested. Service was very good, despite the busy Mardi Gras crowd. Read more
Came on Halloween, the location is not large 7-9 tables with 2 to 3 servers. Wasn't greeted o acknowledged, until 20 mins after... we sat ourselves... Randall( bartender and waiter) finally greeted us, rocky at first and but ultimately pleasant. Tried asidecar and a cocktail named "appley everafter". The sidecar was made with a "74fox brandy". There are no sidecars on the menubtw. The brandy reminded me of a Bacardi gold. I know rum vs. brandy... Accurate judgement though in taste. Cocktail overalltasted like rubbing alcohol even with the lemon wedge garnish. The appley everafter was on the menu and was amazing. Autumn in aglass. An exquisite cocktail. Ordered the chicken and waffles, damn good but missing a flare or signature taste with thewaffles. Chicken fried perfect but no flavor. Overall, if you have time to kill and enjoy a cocktail or two from a menu " not'your' cocktail then this is a place to try... But if you just want... "better"... try somewhere else because you will get morebang for your buck. Read more
Did see any music because it was thanksgiving day. But we had several specialty cocktails that were amazing (Jack Rose, Don?t... Rum Your Mouth). And the duck andouille gumbo - wow!! Read more
