Blue-Moon-Saloon-Lafayette-LALafayette has a thriving nightlife scene with plenty of local gems offering live music, drinks, and good company. Here’s a list of Lafayette venues to help you relax and unwind in the evening.

Blue Moon Saloon & Guesthouse 

Downtown Lafayette’s Blue Moon Saloon & Guesthouse is a top tourist venue, and it’s nominated for a Times of Acadiana Best of 2018 title in two categories: Best Bar and Best Place for Live Music. As the host to several music festivals, local performers, and a weekly Cajun Jam, it’s no wonder this place serves as a premier spot for the best in blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and Louisiana favorites like Cajun, Creole, and zydeco music.

You can also take advantage of the Once In a Blue Moon Special with a $20 bar tab or Thirsty Traveler Special with a $10 bar tab when you book a stay at one of the many on-site guesthouses.

The Wurst Biergarten

This downtown venue is definitely full of activity year-round, and pets are welcome to join in on the fun. It regularly hosts farmers markets, trivia nights, TED events, comedy tours, and even yoga sessions. Plus, every Wednesday at 8 p.m. is Open-Mic Comedy night. The cover fee is only $3 with $2 beer as an additional perk. Speaking of alcohol, the Wurst Biergarten has a diverse drink menu with which to cleanse your palate. Options include Scottish ales, wheat ales, IPAs, pale ales, hard cider, lagers, and stouts.

Legends

Live music events and weekly drink specials make Legends a top venue for an exciting night out. Stop by on Mondays for Happy Hour and throughout the week for specials on domestics, imports, wells, calls, Margaritas, and Bloody Mary’s. Thursdays are for the ladies with half-price drinks, and Fridays and Saturdays offer guests manager specials to sample. If you’re hungry, take a peek at Legends’ food menu, with options like burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and quesadillas up for order.

The Grouse Room

This snazzy venue definitely takes a more upscale approach than the other destinations on this list. It’s the perfect stop for a friendly get-together where live music, dancing, and cocktails are the norm. Grab a partner and hit the main dance floor, enjoy intimate seating in the VIP room, and take in the lovely work of notable Lafayette photographer John Chiasson.

The Grouse Room also hosts a weekly Ladies Night every Thursday from 8 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. This event offers free and discounted drinks for ladies, plus door prizes and live entertainment, all for a cover fee of $10.

The Saint Street Inn

Situated in one of Lafayette’s most historic districts, the Saint Street Inn has a cozy ambiance with a focus on farm-to-table dishes. The large front porch is ideal for watching the sunset, while the community gatherings, live music events, and cook-offs offer year-round fun for locals and tourists alike.

Stop by for dinner from 5 to 10 p.m., where fresh dishes like the smoked gouda mac and cheese and green chile cheeseburger are sure to impress. The Saint Street Inn even has a nice drink selection, including signature and classic cocktails, premium liquor, and bubbly, red, or white wine.

Make the most of Lafayette’s nightlife with a visit to these top venues in the area!
