Bayou is a lively gay bar in West Hollywood known for its laid-back dive bar vibe, strong drinks, and Cajun-inspired comfort food. Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, it’s a popular spot for both locals and visitors looking for an unpretentious, welcoming LGBTQ+ bar experience in the heart of WeHo. The bar is best known for its affordable cocktails, daily happy hour, and late-night food, including Cajun classics and seafood dishes.
