I can't speak to white wine or other spirits as I've never looked for them here; I'm generally in a hurry! What really stands out to me is the pricing! Riverbend's prices (on higher end bourbon & red wine) have been equal or even a bit less than the discount tobacco/liquor stores.

The place was clean, bright and airy. This is definitely a hidden gem!!!

I was nervous because I didn't order ahead due to the holiday season but I walked in and I was accommodated expeditiously. She was even able to take my order today for a pickup tomorrow on Christmas Eve. I ordered the cute little holiday gift box that was available today because I was starving and it was so delicious. The cheese was so perfect and the meat was with just the right salt. She educated me on every cheese and every fruit. She also using local products for her boards. I'll definitely be back!!

If you like brew pubs, Chafunkta Brewing is a really cool spot…read more It is not as polished or fancy as nearby Abita Brew Pub, but that is kind of the point. This is the actual brewery. It sits in a warehouse area, the brewing operation is right there in the back, and the whole place feels like the real deal. The beers are great, the service is friendly, and the vibe is super laid back. We stopped by on a random Saturday and they had a food vendor set up along with a pretty solid musician playing. It was warm, because Louisiana, but the big industrial fans kept things comfortable for the most part. This is not the place to dress up. Wear something comfortable, grab a few beers, hang out, listen to some music, and enjoy a brewery that actually feels like a brewery. Also, if you are riding the Tammany Trace, they are not that far away. So ride your bike over, stop in, and replenish those electrolytes with an IPA or two. That is how electrolytes work, right? Then ride slowly.

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!

Every time I go to Slidell, I go to this Aldi. Today during checkout number five I was really…read moredisappointed and quite frankly a little put off. Normally, I can't say enough good things about the employees at this location. They've all been so very helpful. The ball headed a gentleman. The glass was quite rude. When I asked him his name, he told me he doesn't give out his name. He continued to be very curt. It may be only my opinion, but I believe people who are in contact with the public at large should at least be courteous, even if they're having a bad day. To the management of the store, I would pull him off the register and put someone that could at least greet people with a smile and make them feel welcome instead of feeling like they were an imposition and purchasing products. I told the gentleman I would pray for him he says oh no, don't pray for me the last time I prayed I lost my wife and my daughter. Again making me feel even worse for this man. I don't know his situation and I can empathize with losing your loved ones. I also believe that when you go to work, you leave your personal problems at home. It's not the setting to divulge such information when someone was trying to go out of their way to be nice to them realizing it may just be a off day for them. I don't believe that I will be shopping at the Aldi any longer.

We ordered a flight of beer that included the rice & easy, skater aid, Czech yourself, summer crush, and jucifer. All which were amazing, great tasting, fresh, easy to drink, and I would recommend.

I would mostly definitely recommend and return.
