The Layover

10/14/2026

Fuel your bad decisions with a Paris After Dark.

We’re pouring rich, bold cognac and lacing it with a heavy hit of fresh, dark espresso, then smoothing out the edges with a velvety drop of sweet vanilla. It’s dark, dangerous, insanely smooth, and packed with enough caffeine and kick to keep the party burning long after midnight.

“WHEN ARE YOU GUYS OPENING?!”

Great question. We’d love to know that ourselves. 😂

We’d love to give you an official opening date, but apparently construction timelines are more of a suggestion than an actual commitment.

Between shipping delays, receiving delays, and a few things that have apparently decided to take their own damn vacation, we’re experiencing a little turbulence.

The good news? We’re getting closer. The bad news? Our crystal ball is still on backorder.

Trust us, nobody wants these doors open more than we do.

In the meantime, keep following our page for updates, sneak peeks, and the occasional construction-induced mental breakdown.

THE LAYOVER BY L&W
🥃 Good things take time. Apparently, so does everything else.

WE’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE. AND APPARENTLY, NEITHER ARE DEADLINES. ✈️

Turn up the noise and burn off the boring with the Marrakech Heat.

We’re taking a heavy pour of smooth, fiery tequila, lacing it with a wicked punch of spicy chili, and balancing the burn with plush, sweet apricot and a sharp splash of fresh citrus. It’s sweet, sour, dangerously smooth, and hits with a heat wave that'll leave you buzzing.

Stop playing it safe and go get reckless.

Forget boring, predictable pizza. Our Midnight in Osaka Neapolitan pie is here to bend the rules.

We’re swapping out standard sauce for a rich, umami-packed miso cream, piling on earthy wild mushrooms, and adding a sharp, fresh pop of sliced scallion. Finished with a heavy drizzle of luxurious truffle oil over that blistered, wood-fired crust, this pie is dark, savory, and pure decadence.

Step out of your comfort zone and sink your teeth into one at The Layover.

Our Peri Peri Chicken is going to slap your tastebuds awake.

We’re taking fiery fermented chili, punching it up with heavy garlic, and hitting it with a sharp, bright squeeze of fresh lemon to create a marinade that brings pure heat and unapologetic flavor. It’s smoky, tangy, spicy, and strictly not for the faint of heart.

Bangkok Riot has officially dropped at The Layover, and it’s kicking down the door!

We took crisp, ultra-clean vodka and loaded it up with bright, citrusy lemongrass, electric Thai basil, and a sharp, slap-in-the-face punch of fresh lime. It’s herbal, dangerously refreshing, and packs an unapologetic edge that burns bright from the very first sip. No fluff, no weak flavors—just pure, high-octane energy in a glass.

Ready to stir up some trouble? Get your night started at The Layover and order a round.

Forget everything you thought you knew about a classic Mojito, Havana Nights has officially landed on the menu at The Layover, and it’s not playin’ nice.

We’re taking smooth, dark rum and cutting through the noise with tart, fresh-squeezed lime, aromatic bruised mint, and a moody hit of smoked sugar that brings an unexpected, smoldering edge to every sip. It’s slick, tropical, and deliciously dark, the kind of drink that turns a quick pitstop into an all-nighter.

Step out of the ordinary and into the dark.
