Bayou Room 219 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

"I’ve only gone for the night life part. Never disappoints. Great for a few drinks and dancing. Cool crowd with stellar vibes. Definitely feels like a speakeasy as you’re walking down the quiet cobblestone stairs into a bumping party"

"If you’re looking for a local small establishment to have a drink, listen to music and dance check this place out. The downside is there are no windows and you can smoke inside the bar so be prepared. The DJ was hot. The drinks are mediocre and over priced but that’s to be expected in the city."

"Decent spot with a DJ playing a mix of party house and hip hop with video. The crowd is there to party. They also allow smoking so be prepared to smell like an ashtray when you walk out . Drinks are very overpriced and every time I've used cash I get back less change then I'm supposed to."

"So my a group of friends went out to dinner last Saturday . We got all dressed up and to 219. The decor inside was very small yet cute . We sat in a back room behind the hostess stand (the downside is we kept feeling the cold draft of wind coming through the door ) But other than that , our server was great , our food was delicious"

"Not a bad place to go dancing, listen to a DJ and have a drink or two. Last day in Alexandria and the lady and I needed a place to chill and get a little crazy. I really like the fact that it was a mix crowd with people mainly over 25 years of age. Absolutely no drama, just pure fun. I gave it 2 stars because its in a basement area and they allow smoking on the dance floor. Unfortunately my girlfriend and I were positioned right next to a cigar dancer and a veep' guy. Once we left, our clothes and my girls hair smelled like pure smoke. The alcohol wasn't the best quality, the music was good, and everyone danced with everyone. For a bonus, if you get a little hungry after midnight, head over to HANDOVER BY THE SLICE - great pizza"
