We visit this beer garden every time we are in NOLA. The beers are very good. They frequently have interesting food trucks. They have TVs in the beer garden for big games and heaters in the rare cool weather. The staff are always friendly. This is my favorite New Orleans brewery. read more

Great outdoor spot for kids and dogs. Right by inactive train tracks. Plenty of parking. Vacation Juice is my favorite. Fluffy and hazy with a touch of tropical. Yummmm! They also have trivia Tuesday nights & pop up food tents. Check their Instagram to see who is vending! read more

Cool place to drink a locally brewed beer and sit outside and complain about the state of things in the country and state with your buds. This is a no thrills place that does not require thrills. Good beer and good weather go hand in hand. They sometimes broadcast sporting events or host music outside, so check that out. Parking could be limited, but unless you want to drink in Metairie, that is expected in New Orleans. Tip: There is typically a food truck outside for your culinary needs. read more

I cannot appreciate enough having yet another haven for beer drinkers in NOLA. I, for one, am loving the surge of small batch, micro breweries in the city. I especially enjoy when a chill, pleasant atmosphere accompanies the tasty beer. Second Line Brewing offers just this. The large outdoor seating area is tucked away off the train tracks in a quiet, light industrial Mid City neighborhood. It's an easy jaunt from City Park and just a little beyond where the Lafitte Greenway ends. They've done a great job of transforming their warehouse brewing space into an inviting spot without any frills or over-the-top gimmicks. Just nice lights, tables and chairs, and picnic tables. I've tried the IPA, which is a solid IPA that meets what you'd expect. But my personal favorite is the Trans-Siberian Coconut. It is an imperial stout so sip slow or share with a friend, because it will knock you out, but it is still surprisingly light and refreshing. I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but that flavor in this beer is so subtle that it adds a nice twist and is a welcome addition for me. My experience is that afternoons and early evenings are quite kid friendly. Always good for groups. Indoor seating is limited so I've yet to go on a rainy day. The t-shirts are super rad! And I'm usually a big fan of whoever's playlist is playing! read more

This is a amazing brewery, met the owners great friendly people. Good atmosphere and tasty beer! read more

Hurray for neighborhood breweries!!!breweries!!!! Why would you wanna hang out any where else?!

The place where souls go to die....when I arrived to this outdoor brewery, there was really boring music playing. But you really couldn't hear it because of screaming children and babies. There were toys scattered all over the ground. Toy truck on the table we had to move in order to sit. It was just a desperate attempt for people with kids to kinda have fun. Not having kids, on my end, it sucked!!!!!!! Had to watch my language....although the kids can just scream as loud as they want.. They had reginellis pizza available, water and of course, beer. The beer and pizza were good. The atmosphere was TERRIBLE....a pathetic bar mixed in with a daycare. Don't go if you want to have adult conversations. Dogs were also welcome. They had bowls for their water similar to bulldog. Dogs were not an issue at all. read more

As promised, I am bumping Second Line up star because they now have working bathrooms and they are pouring into glass! I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, just to check the place out again and see if anything had changed since my last visit. Sure enough, they are now pouring their beers into glass and they have added a few more brews since my last visit. I loved the Chocolate Spice Stout that had just enough "kick" to it, without being too overwhelming. I also tried the Trans-Siberian Coconut which definitely had that coconut flavor. It almost reminded me of a "Mounds" bar. There was a decent crowd for a Sunday and the bartenders were nice and helpful. I'm excited to come back and try more of their beer. I heard they are going to start bottling and canning after Mardi Gras, so that'll be a cool expansion for the company. I'll be eagerly awaiting what the future holds for this brewery. read more

Second Line Brewing - Glass! Someone's getting a re-review! - Breweries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

EDIT: first time back. into it. I liked the place. It was opening weekend. I was really looking forward to a flight in some glasses, not plastic cups. Staff (I assume brewers) were very friendly, I appreciated that. I guess the reason for my three stars would be the lack of pint glasses. I prefer to drink my beer from a cold glass, especially when I'm going to a brewery tap room. Like I said, it was opening weekend. I'll be back. Can't wait to see what's in store. read more

Second Line Brewing - Breweries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a great place to go during COVID. They are being really cautious and have a big garage door they can open to get some air flow. There's a lot of seating indoors and out. Good beer. read more

A new brewery in MidCity?!?! YES! This place is fantastic. Has the intimacy of a beer garden, as it's sandwiched in between two large buildings, but doesn't feel cramped or sterile. They have about 5-7 beers on tap and you can run a tab at the check out area. There are many picnic tables and plenty of seating. We had a group pull up with our party to fill out the table. Very inviting. It'll be great if they get some live music and bring in additional food trucks. Mid-City must've been "thirsty" for a spot like this, because it's been packed since opening. The line gets pretty long waiting for a beer, hopefully they open up some more areas to buy. Beers I've had: Smoked Irish Red: Delicious! Very smokey and refreshing. I'm sad this is a rotating beer, I hope they bring it back. Batture Ale: Ok, it's on the lighter side, so if you're looking for something that's easy to drink, go for this one. Nut Brown Ale: Good staple. A little sweet on the finish and heavier than expected, but not a bad choice. Red India Pale Ale: Easiest to drink and very refreshing. Good to pair with the food truck yumminess near by! **Cool fact: They are going to have plastic growlers for the parade route! read more

They have a small selection of beers that manages to cover a little of everything. You can mix and match a six pack to take home. Their beers are well-made and there's a large patio as well as seating "indoors"- with roll up industrial doors and fans. No food but they have chips for sale. They have card games. read more

Great atmosphere, loved sitting outside here on a Friday afternoon with the Southerns truck around to provide munchies. I'm not a huge beer person, but from what my friends told me, the beers are great. Definitely want to come back soon for other pop-ups! read more

This is probably my second favorite brewery after Wayward Owl for their beer. The brewery itself is a bit nicer than Wayward Owl and has a nice courtyard outside. They usually have one or more food trucks conveniently positioned for any chow needs. The visits I've made here seem to confirm this brewery as the place for parents to bring their babies to enjoy some beer as it is often just chock full of kids of all ages with plenty of newborn looking critters too. They also host plenty of dog parents too with numerous folks having their dog babies in addition to their human babies. This is more the way many of the regular bars USED to be before Katrina and the tyrannical Mayor Maoist Mitch started destroying our culture and the crazy Louisiana State ATF started their ridiculous garbage too which has caused a lot of harm to our NOLA culture and traditions. Thankfully we have this brewery workaround for now until we can fight off the totalitarian forces of Marxism and Fascism to re-establish our former freedoms and go back to our live and let live culture. read more

Second Line Brewing - Breweries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was our last stop before heading back to the airport at the end of our trip to New Orleans. We had about 2.5 hours to kill and this was the perfect place! The brewery has a nice combo of indoor and outdoor space. The staff was super friendly and helpful in choosing brews. Between the three of us, I think we tried every beer on the menu! Definitely check them out and plan to stay for a while. read more

The beer was good but I specifically went to try their Coffee Blonde that I saw on their website. They STOPPED making it!! What?!? Don't tease like that; it's mean! Otherwise, nice place and the Smashburgers on Sunday were amazing!!! read more

VERY KID FRIENDLY!! My wife and I love coming to this brewer with our friends and kids! They have a great beer selection, lots of stuff for kids to engage in, very friendly staff, great atmosphere for hanging out and enjoying yourself, and fun stuff happening at their venue. read more

Second Line Brewing is a great addition to the craft beer scene in New Orleans! I've visited with friends a few times in the last several weeks and I have to say, I'm a fan! The way it works: grab a table and go up to the bar to order beers. They have approximately 7 beers on tap at a given time, most of which were the same during my visits but a few changed. They offer samples of the beers so don't feel pressured to order one without trying it first. My absolute favorite is the Saison Named Desire (but I have to say I'm a little biased since I love a good saison). The blonde is also pretty good and I sampled a beignet cream beer during my last visit that I thought was okay but my friends loved. Each of the beers are $5 or $6, which is pretty standard for a craft beer. While Second Line doesn't serve their own food, there are always food trucks there so you can chow down as you drink! I've mostly gone on Fridays and crawfish has been the food of choice but I've heard that other food trucks are available on other days of the week. Second Line is a no frills brewery, which I like! The seating is all outdoors, the staff is friendly, and it is overall a great place to go when the weather is nice! It is also kid and dog friendly, so feel free to bring them along! I only have 2 real issues: the lack of many beer choices and the bathroom situation. Is it just me or should a place offer more than 7 beers or have some other drink options? I love beer but I have some friends that would rather have something else. I also may just be spoiled by the number of beers at other places around town (namely Nola Brew) but I like having more than 7 choices. My other issue is the 2 bathrooms for the whole bar! When your establishment specializes in getting people to drink beer, you have to assume that people will have to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, 2 bathrooms means a lot of waiting in line. Overall I really like Second Line and I will definitely return! I recommend checking it out if you find yourself in Midcity! Beer -- 4 stars Price -- 4 stars Service -- 4 stars Atmosphere -- 4.5 stars read more

This place was pretty cool. Unfortunately when we went it was crazy hot and they only have seating outside so we did not stay long. The beer was pretty good. The staff was super nice as well. If you are in the area I highly recommend making the trek off Bourbon and stopping by. read more

Awesome brewery in NOLA always on my list when we are in town. I love the laid back vibe to go with the great beers. Always a nice selection of beers on tap with plenty of beers to go. I love that the have indoor and outdoor seating, I like that they have a food option form local food vendors. I also like that it's close to all the action in the city. I always make a stop when I'm in town! read more

This might have been my favorite stop on our beer ramble around town. I know; "you didn't go to [blah], so you can't claim this was the best". Perhaps, but I loved after a wander around city park and the sculpture garden. Great beers. Comfortable outdoor seating (seriously! They have outdoor chairs that are comfortable don't leave you with waffle butt). Sorry, back to the beers. Why are these better than some of the others? True craftsmanship. Full flavored but crisp. A nice range of flavors from Stout to ale with all of the requisite stops in between. No kitchen in the brewery, but food truck next the patio was serving food that looked good. I was not hungry at the time, but would have ordered as those around me seemed quite pleased. read more

This is a great way lace to meet friends and chill, the beer is great too! ;). They have food trucks and do events like Bingo nights, movie nights and live music. It's a tap room with a very large outdoor seating area. Definitely one of my favorite breweries in NOLA! read more

Second Line Brewing - Breweries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Second Line Brewing in Mid-City New Orleans is my favourite and closest craft brewery. There is a selection of beer for every taste and desire. The beer is delicious and flavourful. Because it's coming direct from the brewery it is much fresher than waiting for it to go to the store and put out as stock. I will look forward to making Second Line a regular stop to enjoy drinks and relaxation. read more

Let me start off by saying that I love this place. The seating is great, they have bathrooms now, it's kid friendly (with toys and chalk and everything), there always seems to be a food truck there with great food, and the beer is really good too...why only three stars, then? Great question. the answer is the types of beer that they have. I feel that Second Line has fallen into the "everything must be overloaded with hops" trap that so many smaller breweries are falling into. Don't get me wrong, I love a hoppy beer. I just don't think that *every* beer should be a hoppy beer. This is a great place to go if you want to sip on your beer for 30 minutes or so but it's not a place to go if you need to sit back and have a few beers to refresh yourself...Second line is just on the end of the Laffite Greenway but they just don't serve the kind of beer you want after having biked it in the sun or when you want to reward yourself after having worked in your yard all day. Even their lightest beer, the pilsner and their seasonals are hopped up too much. I'm not advocating a local Coors Light or local Michelob Ultra but how about something closer to a NOLA Blonde? Just a suggestion. again, the beers that they have are good but the lack of variety in this respect keeps me from coming as often as I otherwise would. read more

I go to Second Line Brewing all the time and I must say it is a completely awesome Mid-city spot. I had a great time there on Saturday where I was able to vist with some of my friends with children and little ones are welcome. For a brewery, this place has a great family atmosphere. It's not just a spot for drinking, they often host events such as movie nights, or bingo, they usually have a food truck or pop-up available for some delicious eats, they have toys for little ones, games for adults, and water bowls for the pups. That's not to mention the fact that the beer is great. They have a pretty solid variety for a new brewery and sometimes will even do a mixed drink special. This is a really great place to relax with friends, eat, drink, and have a little fun. read more

LOVE THIS BREWERY!!! The beers are awesome and the vibe is even better1 Kelliesha & Josh are so cool and rock!

Second Line Brewery is legit! Tons of outdoor seating, food trucks come through, and they were playing "Airplane" on the big screen during my visit. The bar is just inside the massive garages doors that give the place a nice indoor/outdoor feel. You literally hang out next to the massive steel vats that they brew the beer in. It's a great space, it seems like they could throw some awesome parties here. Nice beer selection with something for every type of beer drinker. read more

BLUF: My new second home. This place is a hidden gem in MidCity. Very very awesome. Hidden brewery with about 10 beers on tap. I only tried two but they were both great; a sweat potato saison (I think) and a lager. Both were great. They also have food trucks so you can eat there. The place itself is perfect. A big abandoned warehouse turned into a brewery plus both indoor and outdoor seating at large picnic tables and smaller tables. The people who work there are great. Very family/dog friendly. Perfect neighborhood feel. The perfect place to go for a game and a beer or just some beers. read more

Walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile. Friendly and welcoming. Tried their blond ale and I give it an A+... the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. Family and pet friendly! I'll be back :) read more

I really like this brewery! It has a great atmosphere, very laid back, casual, and not pretentious. They have a variety of beers to choose from. You can try some of the beers they're experimenting with, as well. The people (workers and guests) are really nice and friendly. There is some indoor seating, but most of the seating is outdoors and there were two food trucks. The brewery is kid friendly and dog friendly, which contributes to the communal atmosphere. Of the new microbreweries open in NOLA, Second Line is my favorite so far! read more

Came here for a party and the place is nothing but a brew warehouse but the beer here is very good and strong. They are hidden behind some railroad tracks in mid city and offer standard microbrews. The ale won my approval, it was very good, not too heavy and doesnt ruin your dinner. The IPA was a little on the strong side if you are up for the challenge. After one big glass of IPA I was on water the rest of the night. Look out for their tap at a bar near you. read more

Having a flight available or even 4oz tasters so I could sample the line would have made this an easy 4 star. This is gross oversight in a tasting room. Not the way to do business especially if the goal is to turn people on to your product line. I'm a little embarrassed at this oversight on behalf of the owners. read more

Second Line Brewing - Beer. - Breweries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cool place tucked away from the French Quarter BUT did not expect there to be soooo many kids. This place gives new meaning to kid friendly. Probably more about parents not keeping kids in check but made the visit less enjoyable for two adults. Kids running around bumping into other tables. Just not the place I was hoping to find here. Beer was great though. If I could give stars for just beer it would be 5 stars. read more

I really liked the beers here. The bartender was really cool, and they have a really great layout with lots of different seating options and a few TV's to catch whatever game is on. Great place! read more

Excellent brews and very comfortable setting. We will return with the rest of the family soon. Very chill brewery.

I love that family friendly breweries are the new thing in NOLA. Second Line did not disappoint. The beer was nicely chilled and the atmosphere was on point. I do wish there were some more tables to sit at, we had to wait for a table at 4pm on a Saturday. But there is enough space for kids to play and even some games to keep them entertained. read more

Fun bar right on the trace. Great beer selection. Road our bike and had a great time.
