Buzzard Billys, Cajun restaurant and pub in Pearl Street, La Crosse, United States
Buzzard Billy's is a Cajun restaurant and pub in downtown La Crosse spread across two floors with different purposes. The ground level serves Louisiana cuisine while the upper floor features a separate lounge focused on drinks and socializing.
The building dates back to the 1860s when it was a hotel on historic Pearl Street. The restaurant opened in 1997 and has since operated within this original brick structure downtown.
The restaurant draws people for its regular live music nights that have become part of the downtown social scene. These performances create a gathering space where visitors experience Louisiana cooking alongside the local community.
The restaurant opens at 4 PM on Mondays and 11 AM from Tuesday through Sunday, making it accessible for both lunch and dinner service. Closing times typically fall between 9 PM and 10 PM depending on the day.
The upper floor called the Starlite Lounge preserves a 1950s interior design and specializes in craft cocktails and premium spirits. This separate space offers a distinctly different mood from the restaurant downstairs and appeals to guests primarily interested in drinks and socializing.
