💬 What People Are Saying

Bistro Byronz

Willow Grove (8200 Village Plaza Court) and Mid‑City/Brasserie (515 Mouton St.) host happy hour Monday through Friday, typically 3 – 6 PM 

The Brasserie location lists their “Happy Heure” from 4 – 6 PM Monday to Friday, offering $5 wells, select wines, drafts, $5 pommes‑frites, and $8 cocktails

  3. Rotating menus at places like Mid Tap and Beausoleil ensure a fresh experience weekly.

  4. Social proof matters: 225 Magazine, DIG, and Yelp all praise these spots.
