"West Hollywood can get expensive, but there’s always the Bayou where drinks are impressively cheap and strong. The bar is small and gets busy on the weekends, so be prepared to be one of many who are starting or ending their night." - Eater Staff
"The Bayou is where you go when you’ve just arrived in Weho and realize you’re too sober for whatever is going on that night (and need to address that issue ASAP). Their daily Happy Hour goes until 8pm with discounted beer and well drinks, and there's good cell service if you need to check Grindr. Bayou might be small, but the feel is right (read: Mardi Gras) and the bartenders will almost certainly pour you free Fireball shots for no reason. Your jumping-off point for an evening of personal destruction lies here." - brant cox
"Bayou is a Mardi Gras-themed dive bar in the heart of West Hollywood, and your first stop before a night of personal debauchery. Their daily Happy Hour goes until 8pm with discounted beer and well drinks, and there's good cell service if you need to check Grindr. The place is small and you will be fully pressed up against someone you don’t know at some point, but the bartender just poured you a free shot of something clear, so suck it up." - brant cox
"You’re asking for trouble if you own a bar and you have a Happy Hour from 10:30pm-12:30am every single night. And trouble is exactly what you’ll find at The Bayou, a crowded and amazing gay bar in Boystown with $2 beers and $4 well drinks. The bartenders will inevitably spill something on you, but for all the free drinks they hand out, you really won’t mind. This place is the size of a Weho studio, so be prepared to throw some elbows trying to get to the bar." - brett keating
"This New Orleans-themed gay bar has two Happy Hours - one for after work, and one for when you show up in Boystown and need a few cheap drinks to catch up to the rest of the group. The Deal: $2 Bud Light, $3 beers, $4 well drinks, $5 wine. When: Daily 4-8pm, 10:30pm-12:30am." - brett keating
