The Scene – Since it serves more than 150 different beers from around the world, it's no wonder the Bayou is called "Beervana." It's become a mecca for those in search of hard-to-find and rare beers like German Pinkus Organic Hefeweizen. Patrons include all types, from enlightened to moderately inebriated, all drawn by the combination of upscale setting, live jazz and pool tables. As one might expect from a Southern-style watering hole, the atmosphere is extremely laid-back--ideal for sharing stimulating conversation in a well-lit and cozy environment. – – The Draw –…

Great food bad service.

by sqquuee at Citysearch

I have been on many occasions. I am always happy with the food and beer. But more often than not I get the same server and she is less than friendly and acts if its a burden too have to take our order, or get us more than 1 beer. I tend to sit at the bar now to avoid the poor service.

They have a great selection of rouge beer.

  • Pros: The food is great. HUGE selection of beer.
  • Cons: Service is often slow.

Never Again

by Sidny at Citysearch

The large beer menu drew us in, but most of the beer we wanted was "not available" or "sold out". We came in a group and when it was time to pay the waitress handed us all of our tickets plus one! Being told again and again that they were out of so many types of beer, combined with a waitress that couldn't count ruined the experience.

  • Cons: Service, Sold Out Beer
