How do you beat good beer with great friends and your pups? I don't know, but if you figure it out,…read moreyou'll make a million bucks, for sure. I love going places with Freckles McWolfington III, esq. He's my best little buddy and is always up for a ride in the truck, especially if it involves pets from strangers. Freki has got to be the friendliest pup I've ever met - if you see us out, be sure to say hi! The brewery is big and spacious, often hosting trivia nights and parties, and they showcase a LOT of great beer on tap. I'm kind of stuck on the AndyGator, but the selection is crazy huge. Come in and get a flight or two, bring your DD, and promise to switch roles on the next visit - that's how you brewery responsibly! Or Uber, someone's out there waiting to hear all about your visit as they drive you home. Love the folks here - the service is always terrific. No rush, take your time, ask questions, talk taste...these guys got you, man. We love to hang here because of the dog park area just outside, where you can sit in the shade, enjoy that beautiful dark golden brew, and watch your dogs check out every square inch of prime sniffing real estate. My little dude loves to watch for new people, so when you see him run - he's a chonk, but he's still a runner - up, give him a scratch and "good boy," he's gonna love it. On occasion, there's a food truck parked outside with tasty snacks, like the amazing pesto chicken sandwich I had a few weeks ago. The Abita Brewery is definitely a keeper and way up on the "repeat visit" list.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a couple of cold drafts there on a Saturday afternoon. The cutting edge facility features a modern brewery producing all the long-enjoyed Abita standards, as well as many innovative seasonal and specialty offerings. Regular tours are available of the brewery, a contemporary and stylish brew pub is onsite, a nice shop for Abita merchandise and memorabilia adjoins the pub, and an outdoor area adds food truck and entertainment options. Service at the bar is friendly and fast, with free product samples graciously offered. Big screen TVs are conveniently located. Abita Brewing Company Is a great place to meet friends and family for a cold brew!

Just a quick revision - this place is definitely 5 stars in my book…read more Freki's on the job now, Tucker's retired, and the place is just as fantastic as ever - maybe more so, although we do miss Gerilyn. :) Folks behind the bar are super - helpful, friendly, full of great information about beer (and bourbon!), there's water for the pups, and a gorgeous view of Lake Pontchartrain. I recently spent a Friday afternoon out here with some friend, talking soccer, beer, dogs and Christ - not necessarily in that order. If you see us out, say hi to Freki and let us know how you enjoyed the Barley Oak!

Service at the bar was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. We enjoyed a tasty hot pretzel appetizer, a special Barley Oak cheeseburger, and a Reuben sandwich, which may have been the star of the show. Old Fashioneds were the drinks of the evening. The Barly Oak is a great place to meet friends for drinks and eats, or just to watch the sun go down over the lake. Highly recommended!

I'm not a huge beer drinker but I love the vibe of breweries and the togetherness that most of them provide. Since I'm not big on beer I always take the recommendation of person assisting me. She suggested something light and mixed it with a sparkling flavored water. She also allowed me to taste a couple before deciding. I wish I could remember the name of it. All I know is that it was refreshing.

The staff is always super nice and you cannot go wrong with any of their beers. Their pizzas are also super tasty, we love to share the meatballs too. I personally didn't like the wings but we had some other people at the table that did. My personal recommendation for beer is either the Neon life jacket or the classic Southern Pecan and for pizza is either the meat lovers or the CBR.

I went to Covington Beer Garden with friends for some holiday day drinking and eating. You know,…read morethe kind of thing civilized people do when they have a day off and no real responsibilities for a few hours. I had been wanting to try this place, and overall I am glad I did. First, the place itself is pretty great. Lots of seating, a cool inside area, a nice outside area, and a setup that makes you want to hang out for a while. This is not one of those places where you walk in, have one drink, and immediately start wondering where else you should go. It feels like a place built for staying. The staff was friendly too, which matters when you are there with a group and everyone is ordering different things, moving around, and generally being a mild inconvenience. Now, about the drinks. The selection was solid. Not bad at all. But with "Beer Garden" in the name, I expected a little more beer. Maybe that is unfair. Maybe I am being too literal. But if you call yourself a beer garden, I am going to expect a beer list that makes me stop and think for a minute. This one did not quite do that. That said, the frozen drinks were fun and would be great in the summer heat. But the food. The food was excellent. I do not know that I expected the food to be the best part, but it may have been. The chicken sandwich special was outstanding, the cheese fries were exactly the kind of bad decision that makes you proud of yourself, and the pulled pork bahn mi was really, really good. I would go back for the food alone, which is not something I expected to say about a beer garden. Overall, Covington Beer Garden is a very good spot. Cool venue, friendly staff, fun drinks, and better food than it probably needs to have. I wish the beer list was a little more expansive, but that is really my only complaint. I will definitely be back.

We make it a point to have a staycation in Abita Springs (we live an hour away) just to eat at this restaurant and riding bikes to enjoy the beautiful back roads! The food at abita springs brew pub is CONSISTENTLY delicious and on point. The menu itself is extensive, but our go to entree is the Boudin Stuffed Quail with Blueberry Compote - YUMMY!!  You can't beat the cozy and inviting atmosphere at this pub. It's truly a special place and worth visiting.
