The girls and I popped in here right as they opened because we had a hankering for drinks and oysters. We were seated pretty much immediately since we got there pretty early and we ordered some fried alligator and a few oysters to share. The fried alligator was pretty good, it was my friends first time trying it and she enjoyed them! The oysters are really fresh as well! I ordered a strawberry lager which was pretty sweet but i enjoyed it and they offered me a to go cup which i thought was really cool. Would definitely come back again! read more

I ordered 1 Moscow mule and the pasta Went to the bathroom, came back.. the mule was there Took my time to sip By that point it was 10-15ish minutes Took my time w the drink, waited another 10, waiter said the food will be out soon, asked for the check, he came back w it along w a box for the food (which I thought had the food ready and I got up but it was just an empty box) and said a manager was checking on the food 25ish minutes had gone by now .. I finished my drink 10 minutes went by and the manager came w the food and said sorry and offered to take my drink of the check, but I paid already so he gave me another drink on the house & that drink was super small in a plastic cup with hella ice so I left w my food in a box and a drink that took less than 4 sips to finish Mind you it wasn't packed (Wednesday night) read more

Stopped in for a beer off the beaten path near Jackson Square. I ordered the Pilsner which was light, crispy with a little hop. My guy ordered a Honey IPA, smooth, not to bitter, slight hint of hops, nice clear beer. They had a jazz band playing when we came in, but quickly took a break. We ordered a pretzel which was pretty good, didn't care for the German mustard which had a-lot of kick to it and traditional German beer cheese, wasn't a fan of either and I've been to Germany too. So yeah, NO! Nice quiet, upscale brewery that serves food. We stayed for 1 and we checked out, I really don't get the gnat situation! Full service bar, and maybe thats the reason? Who knows. Bartender was ok, not very friendly, just all business. The atmosphere was low key. Off to the next. read more

Restaurant was empty except for a handful of people at the bar which should've been a sign. Ordered a beer (apparently just the one size and no prices on the menu, another red flag), fries came out within minutes and were ice cold so I sent them back and asked for fresh fries, came out 2 minutes later with the same fries lol. $30 is crazy for these two items, even for NOLA. Beer was good. read more

Chose items based off of our server's recommendation. I forgot his name already. Perry? I came in on a Saturday night. He was great. Refilling our waters and checking in on us. Always keeping an eye on us to the point of bringing out wet towels to wipe our hands at the right moment. The brewhouse ribs - outside was perfectly crunchy and the meat falling off the bones. SO delicious. Best ribs I've ever had, I think. Especially with that sauce. The Mac and cheese pie was okay. I would have been fine with just one slice instead of two. The spicy Cole slaw was a nice touch. I've never had it spicy before. It's spicy enough that I needed the Mac and cheese to balance it out. The charbroiled oysters. Omg. WHAT an AMAZING dish!! I've never had anything like this! I would definitely come back for more of this!! You must try! Just a tad bit of crunch. The garlic butter so so good. read more

My wife and I were in town for 5 days to celebrate our 35th anniversary. We were nearing the last days of our visit and had been having an incredible time. We were in foodie heaven. We were walking up Decatur Street on our way to our hotel in the French Quarter. It had been a long day of sightseeing and a lot of walking. Our tummies were beginning to tell us it was near dinner time. We started looking for someplace to stop and eat before we arrived back to our hotel. It was hot and humid, so we wanted someplace nice and cool plus quiet or with smooth jazz playing in the background. We stopped at the front of Crescent City Brewhouse. A cool blast of air met us plus the sounds of smooth jazz wafting through the restaurant. The menu looked good, so it was a go to stop at the restaurant to relax, cool of and enjoy a leisurely meal. Tina, our server, was so cheerful when she greeted us at our table. We loved it that she brought glasses of cold water with her. She said the two of us looked like we needed to cool down and take a load off our feet. She said to take our time and look over the menu. We ordered a couple of iced teas from Tina. When Tina arrived, we had decided what we wanted for dinner. My wife ordered the Fried Spicy Chicken Sandwich with French fries, and I ordered the Wild Mushroom Pasta topped with grilled shrimp. As we waited on our entrees we sat back and relaxed listening to the incredible jazz from the trio playing at the brewhouse. One thing that was fascinating at the restaurant were the 4 jellyfish lights that were hanging in the bar area. They were stunning and so beautiful. I asked Tina about them. She told me they were crafted by a local glass artist in New Orleans. She said they were one-of-a-kind pieces. Shortly, Tina brought our entrees to our table. Both of our entrees were fabulous. My wife loved her fried chicken sandwich. She said it was one of the best she'd ever had. The spicy chicken breast was served on a pretzel bun. It had buffalo sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato and "house made" pickles. The sandwich was accompanied with perfectly prepared French fries. My wild mushroom pasta was comprised of tagliatelle pasta, truffle infused vegetable broth, wild mushrooms, and topped with parmesan cheese. The six grilled shrimp had the perfect "char" on them. The tagliatelle pasta had a great "chew" to it and wasn't overcooked. There were a variety of wild mushrooms in the broth. It's just what the doctor ordered. Thank you, Tina and the staff of Crescent City Brewhouse, for a wonderful visit, superior service and food. When we return to New Orleans, you'll definitely be on the list for a return visit. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink while strolling the quarter. Got the Shandy, a "brewtail" that is made with a Pilsner and I think a wine or champagne. It was ok. Been to this place times and I always want it to be better but it's just ok. Plenty of seating and the staff is friendly. read more

Very large two-story bar restaurant. Stopped in here for some food and drink before our nearby steamboat tour. For my drinks, I started with the six-sample beer flight, then settled on the Black Forest beer for the remainder of our stay. For food, had some raw oysters (delicious), fried alligator (tastes like chicken), and the Jambalaya Orleans (Louisiana shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, Louisiana rice, trinity with softshell crab). Good sized portion and quite tasty. No complaints. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday and had a great experience. It wasn't too busy, the restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The Bang Bang shrimp were huge and absolutely amazing -- easily a standout. The garlic parm fries were very good, and the crab hush puppies were small and packed with flavor. I also had a flight of beer (full review posted on Untappd), and our server was awesome -- super informative and helpful with recommendations. Overall, a really solid lunch spot with great food, good beer, and excellent service. Would definitely come back! read more

We stopped in here for a drink and sat at the oyster bar. The place smelled funny and seemed old, dirty and worn down. The bartender was somewhat friendly. My husband had beers and I had a cocktail. The crowd was loud and obnoxious. For a brewhouse, they didn't have a great selection of beer. I wouldn't really recommend this place. read more

The service was good. We sat down and our server was nice. I forgot his name. We ordered the crabmeat hush puppies and they came out burnt. Not sure why he served them to us. Notified him and ordered the bang shrimp. That was delicious. We both ordered the ribs and I added a side of potato salad. The ribs were flavored well but were cold. The macaroni and cheese was literally scooped out of the pan and placed on the plate. The macaroni had no flavor and was not warm either. I didn't even taste their coleslaw. The potato salad had more celery flavor than anything else. 1000% would not return. Horrible expensive food. read more

Table for 2 for Lunch I had this place in mind for our 1st stop in New Orleans, so we took a quick 15-minute walk over from our hotel. We entered without a reservation, and were able to get a table for two for lunch. When asked if we preferred indoor or outdoor seating, we chose inside, it was a little too warm for Wifey this time around. They led us to a perfect high-top table just behind the bar, and our server, Kristen T, greeted us right away with menus. All the beers offered are brewed in house. I ordered a flight, while Wifey went with the Weiss. The beers arrived quickly, and we decided to add a couple of appetizers; I opted for the hot wings and Wifey ordered the bang bang shrimp. The wings came with a sweet and spicy sauce that Kristen told me was not that hot, it ended up being a good choice. Kristen mentioned she was new, but we couldn't tell. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of. The flight was excellent, and my surprise favorite was a Vienna-style pilsner called the Red Stallion. From where we sat, I only noticed one small TV, so it's probably not the spot to catch a game. There's also an upstairs area, which our server said is often booked for parties. She also pointed out that the space almost doubles as a museum, with artwork displayed on the walls and most of it available for purchase. While we were there, a live band started playing, which added another highlight to the experience. I went upstairs to check it out and found a huge interior dining area and a balcony overlooking Decatur Street. That's definitely where I'll plan to sit next time. Overall, it was such a great setup that I found myself thinking, I could have stayed there all day. read more

I'm so glad I found this spot! One of my food goals coming this trip was to have a roast beef po boy. I really loved the sandwich I got. The roast beef was perfectly tender with just the right amount of gravy mixed in. I prefer mine undressed as I want the meat to shine. The fries were perfectly crispy and nicely salted. Our server was really good, albeit a bit quiet. I'm assuming he may have been newer. He did a great job. The restaurant wasn't overly busy when we arrived for a slightly late lunch but when we left there were more people. It was nice and clean and had plenty of staff working. I would definitely recommend and would return read more

Crescent City Brewhouse - Coaster time - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The place looks great, that's the only part that was good. Ordered three drinks, each were made incorrectly/tasted off. Did not order food as we just came in to get a drink and listen to the jazz band. After about 5 minutes a rat ran out on the floor and grabbed a piece of bread or food and went back to where it came from. Didn't seem like it was its first time doing it... Staff was mediocre, did not bring us water, only checked in once and had to be hunted down to get the check which was ridiculously over priced for three cocktails. Place reeks of marijuana smoke and the staff looked like they were baked since the start of their shift, which may be why they are so hard to locate. Will not be back, would not recommend. read more

The best thing about the experience was the service. The food and ambience were very confused and lacked the happiness, passion, and relaxed atmosphere that I look for in a brewery. My best guess is that they are trying to be fancy to justify higher prices. The food lives up to the 3 star rating they have. Po boy was fine but very dry, Cesar salad hit a personal pet peeve of putting a whole uncut head of romaine on the plate (I'm here for dinner not to work), and gumbo was almost black and lacked flavor. The beer was very mild and fine. Typical of the German style of brewing. Light easy drinking beer for a hot day. read more

Stopped in a couple of times during our last trip to NOLA. Sat at the bar and had pilsners and Brewhouse Rita's the first time. Had dinner with friends in the main dining room the other time. Service was great both visits. It's a bit pricey if you want to stay and drink. Tall Pilsner was 13.50 and the brewhouse Rita was 19.00. Definitely paying for location. Oh, and don't forget that lovely CC fee they tack on, because we all carry so much cash around these days. read more

Crescent City Brewhouse - Grilled redfish with soft shell crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Tonight I went to this restaurant after making reservations two hours in advance because we had an 8:00 PM escape room reservation to get to afterward. From the moment we arrived, the experience was terrible. First, the bartender said she didn't even know what a Paloma was, which was honestly shocking for a restaurant/bar. Then the food took an hour and a half to come out, completely ruining our plans for the evening. To make matters worse, the manager was extremely unprofessional and argumentative the entire time. Instead of trying to fix the situation, he kept giving attitude and saying he was busy working a private event. It felt like we were inconveniencing him just by being there. Overall, the service, management, and experience were unacceptable. I will never return, and I highly urge anyone considering coming here to stay away. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! Highly recommended - fresh oysters and hot / cold food done proper!

When you have a group of 12, you can be limited on dining options in or around the French Quarter. Crescent City Brewhouse had space for us, so in we went. It was busy even during off hours and kind of loud, albeit not as loud as a lot of the bars on Bourbon Street. Service was very good - attentive and helpful. The food was fine - basic, nothing special. Prices were unreasonably high for what you got, and that's where I ding restaurants. If your job is to serve delicious food and you do an okay job of serving okay food and higher-than-they-should-be prices, that's a 3-star review to me, even with good service. I didn't order a drink, but my friends reported that the drinks were good. read more

Definitely touristy, but pretty good. My husband and I swung in here on a recent trip because we were looking for a brewpub and we weren't disappointed. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp for our appetizer and they were delicious. For our entrees, I got the Brewhouse Ribs and they were fantastic, especially the Mac & Cheese side dish! Our waiter was very fun and gave us great recommendations for food and beer. A nice place and worth a stop of you're looking for a decent place for dinner in the Quarter. read more

We had a nice time at Crescent City Brewhouse. We asked to get sat on the patio upstairs to enjoy some fresh air and were instructed to go upstairs and another host would seat us. Which was done, our waiter was very chill and had good vibes. He was attentive and there the right amount. I ordered the beer flight. The red stallion was my favorite but enjoyed the 4 I tried, they did say that you couldn't mix and match. My wife was meh on her drink a sangria of sorts I believe but had a good amount of carbonation which she didn't love. It was a nice pop in for a drink. read more

I had made a reservation several months before arriving due to the French quarter fest. I requested an outdoor table so I would be able to watch the zydeco stage and we are also there for our 35th anniversary. I arrived at the restaurant only to be told that a private party had reserved the outside balcony that I wanted to sit at numerous months in advance and I was never notified. Therefore, I won't step foot back in the place. If they don't care about me, I don't care about them read more

The service is the only thing that stood out. The food was not great, not really even good. We had the trio, which consisted of shrimp and grits, ettouffe, and jambalaya. The same sauce used in the ettouffe was poured over the shrimp and grits. The grits themselves were dry, barely palatable with two shrimp on top that looked like an afterthought. We did have a dozen raw oysters that were very good, but you really can't mess those up. I mean we spent $130 for sub par food. By the way the 6oz margarita will hit you up for $20. I don't mind paying, but make it worth my money. read more

New Orleans is a touristy city and places charge accordingly, I totally get that. Though my biggest complaint with Crescent City Brewhouse was that the prices and quality of food seemed inconsistent. The two of us got crawfish étouffé and a burger. The étouffé was tasty (not amazing, but not bad) and while listed as a main dish came in a rather modest portion size. Conversely, the burger was enormous and more than one person could eat. The burger was delicious though, so the nailed that one. While not sure I would necessarily recommend them for food, I do want to make sure and rave about the beers, because their brews were delicious. If you're a fan of dark beers, this is your place. So big thumbs up for the beer, not as enthusiastic about the food because there seems to be some potential for a group to order things that end up some good and some unimpressive. read more

We made reservations at this restaurant without know much about it and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We got to sit on the patio which was lovely. The service was fantastic and the food? Really good. We started with the baked oysters and those were just perfect. My husband had the chicken tenders and they were fresh and hand battered. They were still juicy and the fries were good too. My daughter had the baked mac and cheese. This isn't Kraft, it is a dryer baked macaroni that's homemade. I loved it. I had a half dozen oysters and they were delicious and fresh! My husband tried all 6 of their beers in a flight. I would for sure eat here again. read more

Terrible cocktail and bad food. Don't waste a dime here.
