There appears to be street parking as well as some available lots nearby. Walking up from the water the first thing you see is this gigantic New Orleans mural and it's indicative of the brewery inside the same building - huge warehouse, it even has camper parked inside with a bar that extends much of the back wall. There are picnic tables so plenty of seating. I was there an early Monday afternoon so it wasn't busy at all, but I could imagine it being filled with lines to satisfy throngs of partygoers. There are five vertically placed flat-panel monitors with a variety of drink-menu options. I chose to get a flight of beers I hadn't had previously which ended up being 4 varietals of their King Cake Ale: * Cake Ale - Pale Ale - Other 6% - Creamy pale, almost registers as a fruited sour, sweet body with notes of almond, amaretto, cinnamon and vanilla. 4/5 * Coconut King Cake Ale - Pale Ale - Other 6% - Milky coconut in this almost tart King Cale ale, getting notes of both raw and toasted coconut, almond, amaretto, sweet vanilla and cinnamon. 4.3/5 * Almond Crème Strawberry King Cake Ale - Pale Ale - Other 6% - Creamy body with distinct almond note followed by vanilla and cinnamon. 4.2/5 * Strawberry King Cake Ale - Pale Ale - Other 6% - Fruity tart strawberry in this pale ale, finishes fruity and sweet, a touch dry. 4.1/5 Overall I enjoyed the beers I had - all very drinkable. The cinnamon was a bit much all at once, these are almost dessert beers and better taken in small amounts after you've slammed a few of their staple beers, in my opinion, but I'm still very glad I had them. The staff and service was good with an efficient demeanor - I think if they were slightly friendlier I might have stuck around and tried more of what they offered but as my second brewery (and plans for more exploration in the evening) I decided to keep things neat with this single flight. Afterwards I walked back up to St Charles and took a short nap and got cleaned up for evening shenanigans.

Urban South is a large-scale brewery with a ton of options. Some are standards, some are seasonal…read moreand some are experimental one offs. Holy Roller Hazy IPA is a great standard that I get in bars and buy in stores for the house from time to time. Upon my last visit, I got a flight that included their seasonal King Cake flavored sours. They had coconut, almond, strawberry and regular ( I think). During Mardi Gras if you want to brave the crowds on a Saturday, you can pair them with slices of King Cake from Doung Phong bakery. Urban South is a large warehouse with cool decor, pinball machines and tons of picnic tables. There are also 4-5 picnic tables outside along with a permanent food truck. They also bring in other food vendors from time to time and have crawfish boils all the time in season. My only issue with the place is if the garage doors are down, the place can smell like...well a brewery. Breweries do not smell good and Urban South's tap room is not separated from the rest of the brewery.

There seems to be a lot of street parking (not sure as I ubered). I wasn't sure what to expect from Parleaux - when I arrived it was late and mid-week - I think there were only a couple of patrons (but more arrived as I sat and talked to the beertender). The place has an open warehouse feel - you basically see everything on a longish room. I think there are around 14 taps but several were spent from the weekend. I ended up trying: * Tom Hayze - Pale Ale - American 6% ABV - Excellent pale with juicy fruity notes, fairly crisp finishing dry, hoppy and a touch grassy. 4.5/5 * Dom Parleaux - Sour 7% ABV - Tasty sour, tart fruity notes of raspberry and pomegranate. It's actually 7%. 4.1/5 * It's Not A Put Down I Put My Foot Down - IPA American 6.4% ABV - Hard to call this west coast, big sweet tropical and citrus body, hardly bitter on the finish. Still tasty. 3.8/5 * Barrel #33 - Farmhouse/Saison 6% ABV - Really unexpected mixed ferm tart saison, fruity sweet flavors, finishing funky and a touch woody, very satisfying. 4.3/5 * Law Dog - Bitter - Extra Special / Strong (ESB) 6% ABV - Mellow ESB, fairly easy drinking, malty note ls of caramel well balanced by medium bitterness. 3.7/5 * In the Secret Space of Dreams - Stout - Imperial / Double 11% ABV - Thin bodied stout, registers as barrel aged, notes of brandy filled chocolate and dried dark fruit. 4.2/5 All around great experience if a bit sleepy - it included some great conversation with the beertender around local brewing. There was also a couple of puts with red beans and rice that were free for the taking - I indulged and it was enough for me to forego eating something more filling (it also kept me in the brewery drinking so having it proved it's purpose).

Miel is one of 5 breweries along Tchoupitoulas St. Ok so they are 1/2 a block off, whatever…read more It's the smallest brewery of the bunch but probably my favorite. I have probably been a dozen or more times, and they are always changing things up. New IPA's, Pilsners, stouts, and sours about every time I go. This last time I went they had a habanero-pickle sour, but I was too big of a chicken to try it. Their Soft Focus DIPA was phenomenal, however. The inside is small, but the courtyard is a really cool place to sit even on a July afternoon as it is shaded with plants and umbrellas. They have different food vendors all the time and crawfish every spring. On our last visit, we had a really good Detroit style pizza. I will keep going because they are always trying to brew new beers and because it's my girlfriend's favorite brewery in Nola. If they still have the habanero pickle sour, I may even try it.

Overall, a really cool, off-the-beaten-path spot that's absolutely worth checking out if you're in New Orleans.

I'm not sure about parking as I walked to the brewery on my recent visit. This brewery has a great feel that hearkens back to a cozy neighborhood pub - eclectic seating divided between a couple of rooms with a small bar and a simple setup including around 9-10 taps. I felt right at home. Flights included four 5 ounce pours for $19. Food is mostly supplied by Shift Kitchen but you're basically invited to bring in anything you want. I tried the following: * 90s Women's Power Ballads - IPA - New England / Hazy 6.6% ABV - Pretty decent hazy NEIPA, Guiyang body with notes of citrus, finishes hoppy and a touch floral. 4/5 * Tenant - Bitter/Best 4.1% ABV - Very nice sweet malty bitter, notes of toasted bread, slightly toasted peanut, finishes appropriately dry and somewhat mildly bitter. 4/5 * Mr. Words Is A Monster - Pilsner/Other 5.5% - Interesting XPA, crisp body, hint of orange peel finishing hoppy, hint of pine and black pepper. 4/5 * I Am A Donut - Sour - Berliner Weisse 4.2% - Light bodied sour, fruity body with notes of sweet mango. 4/5 * Notice Me Senpai - Porter - Imperial / Double 8.1% - Tasty porter with notes of dark chocolate, English toffee and roasty coffee, almost creamy body finishing dry. 4/5 In general all the beer I indulged in were good, I think this is probably the best brewery I tried in my recent trip to New Orleans. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and knowledgeable, able to answer all my questions. I could tell this was a local spot - I engage in conversation with a few of the patrons and they mostly lived nearby. This is a top-notch hangout with a great local vibe.

This brewery is right on Decatur with a couple of tables in front good for watching the traffic coming through. There's also a patio in the back with plenty more seating options. I sat inside where there was plenty of space. There were a good selection of beers on the menu. And the options differed from other breweries with units of Liters. I, of course, had to have an IPA and I got in as a 0.5L (closest to a pint). The flavor was good with a good hoppy taste to it. This is a great place to chill with friends and enjoy some nice beers. There's also a menu but it's only available on certain days of the week.

I peeked out back with it's much larger than the front outdoor space and had seating as well. The stout was awesome (I'm a stout person)! Here is one of the best things that we did not know when coming here, they have cats! I think one lives inside, Patrick, and they take care of 15 cats that live on their property. I am a cat person, so walking in and seeing a cat inside, I thought I was in heaven! Patrick sat on my lap or with us during both of our visits. I seriously couldn't have been happier. So between the cats, stout and beautiful space, it was a pleasure to be there! Ten stars of I could!

The location is essentially in a brewery. While I'm not a beer fan at all, I found one that I actually liked. The staff was great about letting us try before we buy. I was sold on a beer that was lychee flavored. It was smooth and seemed more like a seltzer. It also didn't leave the bloated feeling that I find that beer typically leaves me with. I wanted to try everything on the food menu! The roti roll ups were delicious. I'm a huge fan of roti and this is don't just right. I tried all 3 flavors: citrus curry chicken, fried feta, and seasonal veggie. They were greatly priced at $7 a piece. The chicken over rice was also delicious. It had my taste buds dancing around trying to figure out all of the flavors I tasted. The dish includes turmeric rice, citrus chicken, salsa verde, white sauce, Guatemalan hot sauce, lettuce and tomato. I've never had fried feta so the Fried Feta Bites with Tikka Masala Aioli were a pleasant surprise. I can't wait til I get to try this place again.
