Fodor's Expert Review The Bayou

You'll find more than 200 microbrews, both bottled and on tap, at this lively, often crowded Louisiana-inflected bar and restaurant on the south side of downtown. The menu offers plenty of Cajun specialties, such as crawfish étouffée and blackened catfish sandwiches, along with more regionally American grub like fried chicken and pizza. Live music, pool tables, and a casual, high-energy buzz make this a fun place to hang out for a while. You must be over 21 to enter.
