I've been to Courtyard brewing more times than I can count. It's probably my favorite brewery in…read moreNola. Unlike most breweries, I don't think Courtyard has a signature beer, there are no standards Jucifer or Paradise Park. They just make new stuff all the time, then run out of it, and brew something else. I think I have seen Sonic Youth in 1983 there more than once so maybe that's the closest thing. Regardless I am saying this as a good thing because every time I go, there is something knew. Courtyard is like the ultimate dive bar of breweries. There is a pop-up style kitchen that has held a variety of eateries over the years that used to include Burger Nerds and now has a taco place. There is mismatch furniture throughout the indoors and front courtyard. Most of the seating looks like they robbed a daycare. There is a couple of tv's, a piano, bullfighting art, an eclectic record collection and tons of plants outside. All of this gives Courtyard it's charm. The people are awesome, the place is comfortable and the beer is always great.

I'm in NOLA for a couple days for work and staying in the arts district. I found this place when…read moredoing an online search for breweries. The walk there was pretty easy...I was concerned it might get a little dicey by the interstate underpass but it really didn't. My bar is usually pretty low for breweries because they are usually run on a shoestring by a group of guys that really love beer but don't always know how to run a business. This place is a weird, eclectic vibe. The furniture and overall vibe is pretty dumpy. The bar is even super wobbly. The beer list they have online indicating it is their current list was in no way related to the beer selection they actually had available. It was super limited with a lot of IPAs and sours. Not my jam. The is a food vendor on site as well; they have burritos, quesadillas, etc. it looked okay, but i wasn't in the mood for Mexican style food. Overall, it's fine. I like to try new places. I'm glad I stopped in but i wouldn't go back.

You can find Urban South Brewery at 1645 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130. This is near the…read morewater and fairly easy walking distance from the nearby Abita Brewing New Orleans taproom. 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 were a lot of very young kids running around unattended, and it started to feel more like a playground than a restaurant. I have a kid myself, so I completely understand family-friendly spots, but it was pretty disruptive to the people trying to eat, have a beer, and enjoy the night. Maybe it was just an off night, but I hope parents can be a little more mindful and not treat the restaurant like a babysitter or park. We still love the food and atmosphere overall -- just hoping future visits are a little more relaxing.

It appears some of the items Brewery used to sell aren't available anymore. The food was delicious, but the burger at $18 was on the pricey side, especially considering the size. It appeared smaller than a Whopper. Pimento cheese and ritz crackers: 9/10; yummy! I wanted to indulge, but didn't want to seem greedy in front of my co-workers. Beef fat fries: 9/10; light, crispy, well-seasoned Cheeseburger: 9/10; tasty, but small. Arnold Palmer: 10/10; one of the best I've ever had. They make their own lemonade.

There is an awesome mural on the front of the building along with a nice courtyard out front with picnic tables, umbrellas and beautiful trees. The indoor space is gorgeous! So wonderfully designed and decorated! They have some tables and chairs, two separate seating areas with couches and chairs along with the seating at the bar. 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!

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.

We often use this as a stopping place to use the bathroom and figure out where we are going next. I like that they advertise they have plenty of bathrooms as there is nothing I hate more than a large brewery with one bathroom. We found this to be walking distance from our more tourist area hotel, but others may feel it is not, although I do believe its close to a bus line. This place has a nice vibe and friendly service. We visited pretty close to opening and it was not crowded. It looked like there was a nice outdoor seating area as well, but after the walk we were happy to be inside where it was cooler. I also appreciate being able to charge my phone while I drink my beer. I was a little sad that it was not open at the same time as the bagel place next door as I really wanted to check that out as well. They do acknowledge their focus is not food, but sounds like they have food trucks at times. Unfortunately I can't recall what beers we tried, but I am sure they were delicious.
