Whiskey & Vine to Reimagine the Golden Era of Jazz Clubs Lafayette, LA - The owners of local restaurant, Bon Temps Grills, have announced their newest concept, Whiskey & Vine, where they are reimagining the classic Big Easy jazz club atmosphere right here in Lafayette. This classic cocktail lounge is a derivative of the culture of New Orleans through the live blues music, traditional southern cuisine, and expansive cocktail and spirit program that it has to offer.
“We want to bring something uniquely different to Acadiana, something that fills a gap in the community while maintaining a hint of familiarity. The type of familiar feeling that is exciting, inviting, welcoming, and, to some, nostalgic,” said Steven O'Bryan, Co-Owner of Whiskey & Vine. “Our team is committed to creating an environment that gives guests a full sensory experience from beginning to end.”
Whiskey & Vine will be the premier venue for locals and visitors, providing a complimentary blend of flavors, aromas, sights, and sounds that can only be found beyond its front doors. There will be a variety of drink selections inclusive of creatively crafted cocktails, a wide array of whiskey options, and a carefully curated wine selection by their in-house Sommelier and General Manager, Dina Bohn. Combine this with imaginative takes on beloved dishes and the eye-catching vintage décor, and curious minds will become loyal patrons.
With words that roll off the tongue much like that of a bluesy soul tune, Whiskey & Vine was named to paint the picture of the timeless elegance the establishment was founded on. Two words and an ampersand that perfectly display the idea of bringing back the classic simplicity of the past to a fast paced, modern world.
Patrick O'Bryan, Co-Owner of Whiskey & Vine, explained, “From the moment this idea came to life, our goal has remained the same: to create a destination that is original enough to stand out in the minds of everyone who visits and keep them coming back. And because of the support of everyone involved, including a knowledgeable team with years of combined industry experience, we are confident we will achieve exactly that.”

Whiskey & Vine to Reimagine the Golden Era of Jazz Clubs Lafayette, LA - The owners of local restaurant, Bon Temps Grills, have announced their newest concept, Whiskey & Vine, where they are reimagining the classic Big Easy jazz club atmosphere right here in Lafayette. This classic cocktail lounge is a derivative of the culture of New Orleans through the live blues music, traditional southern cuisine, and expansive cocktail and spirit program that it has to offer.
“We want to bring something uniquely different to Acadiana, something that fills a gap in the community while maintaining a hint of familiarity. The type of familiar feeling that is exciting, inviting, welcoming, and, to some, nostalgic,” said Steven O'Bryan, Co-Owner of Whiskey & Vine. “Our team is committed to creating an environment that gives guests a full sensory experience from beginning to end.”
Whiskey & Vine will be the premier venue for locals and visitors, providing a complimentary blend of flavors, aromas, sights, and sounds that can only be found beyond its front doors. There will be a variety of drink selections inclusive of creatively crafted cocktails, a wide array of whiskey options, and a carefully curated wine selection by their in-house Sommelier and General Manager, Dina Bohn. Combine this with imaginative takes on beloved dishes and the eye-catching vintage décor, and curious minds will become loyal patrons.
With words that roll off the tongue much like that of a bluesy soul tune, Whiskey & Vine was named to paint the picture of the timeless elegance the establishment was founded on. Two words and an ampersand that perfectly display the idea of bringing back the classic simplicity of the past to a fast paced, modern world.
Patrick O'Bryan, Co-Owner of Whiskey & Vine, explained, “From the moment this idea came to life, our goal has remained the same: to create a destination that is original enough to stand out in the minds of everyone who visits and keep them coming back. And because of the support of everyone involved, including a knowledgeable team with years of combined industry experience, we are confident we will achieve exactly that.”
