36 Best Bars in Lafayette

“The owner is fantastic!! I love this cool little place to just vibe and connect! Great specials as well! Bingo night is sooooo fun!! He makes sure everyone is winning something! Will be back ❤️“

“THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! My sister and I just visited for the first time, and we are so impressed. The service was wonderful, it took no time, and the daiquiris are delicious. Not to mention the fruit on top + the Jell-O shots made the entire experience even better. We can’t wait to come back!“

“The people’s champ of Freetown. That’s what this place was, is, and will be!!“

“First time here to spend more time with my cousins and this place was phenomenal. Didn’t know it exists and glad it does. We were graced with the talented Luke Hackett. We told him what we were craving and he made it. Absolutely delicious!!! Great chill place. Not overcrowded and just a great atmosphere to be in. Love the decor and everything else about it. Cheers!“

“Tons of selection and great prices“

“The coolest venue around! You feel like you've been transported back to the Roaring 20's (with a modern twist) with it's beautiful dark wood walls and bar, carpeted stairs that lead to a second level, and VIP booths lining the walls with red velvet curtains. You can catch amazing local talent from musicians to comedians on any night of the week.“

“Came here while visiting family and I'm sad that this isn't in my hometown. The live music was great, the service was amazing (I believe we had a waitress named Morgan?) and the food was perfect. If you visit, the Monte Cristo is great, but the Ribeye was the best steak I've ever had!“

“I ended up here purely by accident as I was doing some work in the area and all the hotel rooms had been booked by repair crews right after a storm. My room reservation had been cancelled because of the need for repairs and this was the only location I could find a place to stay. I ended up in one of the the "hostel" rooms of shared bunk beds which would have been ok on a fun trip but the lack of private space was a bit challenging for work. The rooms were also very noisy (as the bands play late into the night) BUT being a person that can have fun I just rolled with the punches and stayed up to listen to the band, party, and drank enough to pass out despite the noise. This is a great place to stay for fun times and I have returned on several pleasure trips rather than work trip to enjoy myself here and this is certainly a great place for that (not so great if you have to wake up early for work though!). I stayed in some of the private rooms and those were pretty cool but still noisy so expect to stay up having fun til the bands are done. Really great music and great people having a good time!“

“We went in Saturday without a reservation and lucked out with the last table available. I love the atmosphere. I appreciate the good wine choices and had a great glass of Malbec. Our entrees were excellent. We had pizza and the special of the night. Service was excellent and we will certainly be back!
Reminder all bread is made in-house and to die for!

Vegetarian options: I am not a Vegetarian but try to have two - three plus days of only veggies per week. There are plenty of pasta and vegi options or pizza or calzones and ingredients are of high quality!“

“So good great rotisserie chicken, burgers, grits, fries, and shrimp. Every thing is so good!!!“

“Delicious , Hot & Great Customer Service ❤️❤️“

“My wife and I visited yesterday for a quick bite and some cocktails. The bartender made one of the best Manhattans I've had in Lafayette, and my wife enjoyed one of their signature cocktail, "Don’t Write, Don’t Call." However, we had to wait 40-45 minutes for our Friggin' Fig-n-Pig Flatbread. While it was good for a quick bite, it wasn't anything special. During the wait, we had a second round of drinks—the Manhattan was as consistent as the first, which was nice to see. My wife tried another signature cocktail, "Swampy Daniels," which was less spirit-forward and not to her taste, though others might enjoy it. The bartenders apologized for the delay, likely due to a busy kitchen as the place seemed to be full. Overall, it was a decent experience, and the bartenders were great. We'll definitely return for the drinks.“

“Always friendly and courteous! I don't like the MF (it stands for what you think it is) you might because it's pure liquor and tastes like it. It's there Best Seller. I wonder why... Lol. So far I love the Push-up the best! Will continue to try the other items on the menu. Stay tuned. I wonder what ingredients make the 190 Octane because it's the orange flavoring in the Push-up. If you know let me know, please. My favorite daiquri place so far!“

“I went there to listen to music. To my surprise, it was a college kids bar. It seemed lively, for sure, and crowded. Nice hangout but not what I was looking for. The music seemed to be very good, but I haven't listened to that genre before, so I left after one beer. Wished that I was young again, lol.“

“First time having lunch here. Great atmosphere and the manager was very attentive to her customers! Food is fantastic & great service. Very clean and great place to meet for drinks!“

“You know I'm gonna rate y'all 5 Stars!! Had some of the best experiences here & continue to! Always booking the best bands & having the best karaoke!!! Not only metal & rock bands, but definitely the most of the most around here!“

“Very nice place! 100 degrees outside but AC was kicking butt! Nice and cool! Bar is beautiful!“

“While most of these drinks are totally disgusting, I just loved the novelty of a drive-up daiquiri window and their pricing for specials. There are pool tables but no one was there using them when we were there. That drive through sure was busy though! Oh, and don't mess with the raccoons living out of the dumpster out back---they are favored regulars!“

“This is one of the best bars in Downtown Lafayette and a big part of why this bar is so fun is that the bartenders take fantastic care of you! You get really top notch excellent service here that is fast and friendly. They always seem to be having a good time in this joint and you also have the option of the huge patio in the rear of this spot where you can have a totally different environment which is also lots of fun. Overall this is just a great spot where they take great care of you.“

“It's a great bar with pools tables, music playing was great. Was there around 9:30pm on a Friday and it wasn't packed at all. 3 or 4 bartenders but only a few customers on one side of the bar, we sit on the otherside that was empty and it took me about 4 minutes to get a beer. We decided to go somewhere else so i finished my beer and waited forever just to pay. I was close to walking out without paying for my beer. The bartenders were all on the one side and never made eye contact my way. I could understand if it was really busy but it wasn't at all. But maybe just a bad night because I've had better experiences here in the past so I'll definitely try again.“

“The downtown Annex is always a solid lunch or dinner choice. The service and atmosphere are top notch. the outside patio is great for people watching and its convenient when at a festival or events downtown. Centrally located with ample parking on the side of the building.“

“Amazing daiquiris. Polite staff and very friendly.“

“First time there was September 5, 2021 the staff was amazing the margaritas are AMAZING fixed just the way I ask for it but the atmosphere is undesirable it brought me out of my comfort zone after being stuck in a dark place for so long! I started a new journey with someone who became my best friend and from that day has been by my side no matter what! Through him I have so many new friends and old friends back in my life that no matter what they to have me and mine! I have a family now that are so true honest and good to me! I now know what it feels like to be loved protected and wanted! Most of all I now know what it feels like to truly honestly love someone! Thank you Legends for your service on that September night that lead to many more with my best friend Colin Schlabach! I will always be so grateful and thankful for the memories made and the ones I continue to make with Legends!“

“This is a good little whole in the wall bar. Drink prices are really cheap. Its small so the music can be too loud sometimes. There is no menu. No food to order. They do cook occasionally and offer the food free if charge. When they do cook the food is good.“

“really great grown & Sexy establishment I had the greatest time“

“Me and my fiance went eat tonight. food was great but the bartender/server was horrible. her name was Miranda. No energy, no smile, was sarcastic when we ordered like we were ignorant and she just wasn't good. Would love to eat there again but definitely when she isn't working. !!!!!!“

“MAX cooked us burgers tonight and they were GREAT! Thank you MAX! 5 STARS!!!“

“They don't sell food so couldn't give it 5 stars, But they do cook at times and it's free for customers and it's always good! The service is Good, atmosphere is good .. just wish more people would stop in.. it's a great place to play pool on any of their 5 tables, great place to meet friends for drinks and catch up!“

“This place is one of the popular hangout spots for college students. Music is always upbeat and the service is usually fast. For those who like to sit they have tables with chairs. Those looking for pool tables, Marley's have 2. They also offer outside sitting along with 2 nice sized restrooms.“

“It's close to home, and everyone else's with their multiple locations. In comparison to all the other bar and grill style places nothing compares to the great taste and fast service! And if that isn't enough they are on the waitr app as well. Best of everything“

“Went here for lunch with some friends.

Great atmosphere, good drinks, fantastic pizza.

We got the Paulie and the Curly Sue.

The honey, pepperoni, jalapeño combo of the Paulie was to die for.

The curly sue was a DELICIOUS white pizza with the pistachio ricotta and pepperoni.

Would come back next time I am in town.“

“The older gal behind the bar runs a well oiled machine. Didn’t think the jukebox could be so loud which is a good thing. Top bar in Lafayette don’t waste your time going downtown. Beer was cold and served promptly. Chicken fingers and fries were fresh. Lotta people playing pool so plenty of elbow room at the bar. Thank you Green Oaks!“

“I recently dined at Chuy's Mexican and had a fantastic experience! I ordered the combo fajitas and nachos, and both dishes were incredible. The fajitas were sizzling hot and bursting with flavor. The portion was generous, and I loved the fresh vegetables that accompanied the perfectly cooked meat. The highlight was definitely the homemade tortillas—warm, soft, and utterly delicious! The nachos were equally impressive! They were loaded with toppings—melted cheese, jalapeños, and fresh guacamole that added the perfect creamy touch. The atmosphere at Chuy's was vibrant and lively, adding to the overall dining experience. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
Overall, I highly recommend Chuy's Mexican for anyone looking for tasty, authentic Mexican food in a fun environment.“

“Went on a date here, and our waitress, Syd, was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly and efficient, ensuring our orders came out quickly. The burgers were absolutely delicious, and the lemonades were refreshing and flavorful. Highly recommend!“

“The food is very good over there. There employees over there a very nice. The place is always clean. Acadiana Tap house is located inside the Lafayette Regional Airport. Stop by them whenever you are traveling. They have good food and great service“
