   Always a great experience at Bayou and Bottle. The service is top notch, and everyone is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great whiskey selection and the food is outstanding. I've attended several of the whiskey master classes and they have been fantastic. I've learned a lot and there is always a great group attending the events. Looking forward to more in the future.

   This master class was amazing. We got to taste a variety of ages and versions of the Dalmore brand while learning some of the history and methods used to brew the spirit. Met some fun people who were way more knowledgeable than I was about whiskey and different spirits in general. The food was actually an unexpected bonus. I was honestly blown away by how affordable this was in the end. Thank you to the team that did their best to make us feel welcome.

   Bardia and his staff were amazing hosts! The food was great, creative takes on traditional “bar” food. And the bourdon tasting program was top notch.

   Slow bartender service - at times no one was even behind the bar. We love coming to the hotel but service was off this time

   We recently had the pleasure of dining at Bayou & Bottle, and it was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable—every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. The stewards, in particular, were exceptionally knowledgeable about their bourbon selection, guiding us through a curated list with expertise and genuine passion. Their recommendations were spot-on, enhancing the meal in ways we didn’t expect. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of in every detail. The staff anticipated our needs and personalized our experience, making the evening memorable. If you’re looking for a place where top-notch service meets expert craftsmanship in both food and drink, Bayou & Bottle is absolutely the place to be. Highly recommended!

   Excellent "bar food". Great, attentive service given number of people. Food order issue appropriately dealt with by management. Would definitely return if similar opportunity occurs.

    We attended two bourbon tasting events at Bayou & Bottle and found the experience very enjoyable. The event themselves include food, plenty of bourbon samples, and a presentation from the bourbon representative. Overall, a great time! Bayou & Bottle itself is a lovely bar with great cocktails. The bartenders and staff were all helpful and informative. A particular shoutout to Bardia, the general manager, for his exceptional hospitality and kindness! We will keep Bayou & Bottle in mind anytime we are in downtown, especially for concerts nearby. Thanks again!
