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.
