Bayou Room - Alexandria

The place has potential but I wish the DJs would switch up the music. I like house music -don?t get me wrong, but variety would be nice or more up to date songs. DMX and Jay Z are not club bangers. ???? Even after tipping the DJ he half played more current songs and went right back to early 90s hip hop that no one danced to. Read the room bro ???? On the plus side, drinks are pretty good. Bartenders are nice. It?s a pretty lively place.

DO NOT COME FOR SHOTS!! $100 for 6 pre-mixed green tea shots in plastic cups. Pathetic. Music was good and fun

It has such potential to be a hot spot for dancing. DJ is hot! My sadness is the antiquated idea that people want to party in a windowless basement full of nicotine and cigar smoke like its 1949. Which is probably why there were only 3 people in there smoking their life clock down.Its 2023 every where else.

Disclaimer I have not tried the food or drinks. Have only been here for the night live with friends. The biggest reason we go is to listen to music and dance the night away. From what my friends tell me the drinks are average, nothing special about them. The ambiance great, feels cool walking down into the basement and then see this the crowded small room filled with people dancing. Probably my favorite place to go and dance in the old town area. Nothing like the DC scene but great if you had a late dinner and felt like letting lose without going to far.

Great cheap drinks and open super late on the weekdays! Truly a hidden gemParking: street parking onlyWheelchair accessibility: not accessible
