Everything to love in a brewery. They focus on a short list of well crafted beers, there are…read moreindoor and patio spaces that are comfortable to hang out to talk with friends. Nothing feels gimmicky or forced. The bartender politely shuffles the slightly toasted folks to the side to take your order, and makes time to recommend favorites. It's right off the corner of Frenchman Street and walkable to a ton of places.

You can find Brieux Carré Brewing Company at 2115 Decatur St New Orleans, LA 70116. It's on a bit…read moreof a side-street, difficult to see from the Frenchman St so easy to miss. I'm not sure about parking as I walked to the brewery on my recent visit. This brewery has a great feel that hearkens back to a cozy neighborhood pub - eclectic seating divided between a couple of rooms with a small bar and a simple setup including around 9-10 taps. I felt right at home. Flights included four 5 ounce pours for $19. Food is mostly supplied by Shift Kitchen but you're basically invited to bring in anything you want. I tried the following: * 90s Women's Power Ballads - IPA - New England / Hazy 6.6% ABV - Pretty decent hazy NEIPA, Guiyang body with notes of citrus, finishes hoppy and a touch floral. 4/5 * Tenant - Bitter/Best 4.1% ABV - Very nice sweet malty bitter, notes of toasted bread, slightly toasted peanut, finishes appropriately dry and somewhat mildly bitter. 4/5 * Mr. Words Is A Monster - Pilsner/Other 5.5% - Interesting XPA, crisp body, hint of orange peel finishing hoppy, hint of pine and black pepper. 4/5 * I Am A Donut - Sour - Berliner Weisse 4.2% - Light bodied sour, fruity body with notes of sweet mango. 4/5 * Notice Me Senpai - Porter - Imperial / Double 8.1% - Tasty porter with notes of dark chocolate, English toffee and roasty coffee, almost creamy body finishing dry. 4/5 In general all the beer I indulged in were good, I think this is probably the best brewery I tried in my recent trip to New Orleans. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and knowledgeable, able to answer all my questions. I could tell this was a local spot - I engage in conversation with a few of the patrons and they mostly lived nearby. This is a top-notch hangout with a great local vibe.

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!

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.

Always a fun stop. More than family bar, it's a fun pause where everyone is welcome from college…read morekids, to actual human children. The animals... and actual dogs are welcome. They always leave a bowl of water out for the four-legged dogs. Most of the time there are additional activities: food across the street or a food truck. A band playing, trivia, bingo, or something a little adventurous and always some fun.

My company held an event here last week and it was the perfect venue! The staff was friendly,…read morehelpful, and kept us in the loop the entire planning process. We used their in house catering, and they were able to add stuff to the order day of the event. Everything was ready and set up for us when we got there! The drink situation was also smooth. We created our own "drink tickets" that the guests could cash in for simple drinks like beer and wine and we paid the total tab at the end of the evening. We rented out the Barn which is the room in the back. This was great because people could enter directly into this room from the parking lot (there was a sign up so that people who were not our guests would not enter this way). We had about 40 guests, and it felt perfectly comfortable, not too big or too small for this amount, but could have also fit more if needed. Our guests gave us positive feedback about the venue as they left as well. Overall, a great space to host an event!

They have a regular restaurant in there now that serves beer, beer, cocktails, and decent wine plus…read moregreat pizza and eggplant, sticks, and a couple of salads and more. You can order the food at the front bar or the back bar and just pick up your slices of pizza at the front. Self serve water and you can dance to a live band. There's plenty of tables. It's very friendly service and tonight I forgot my credit card, but they closed out the tab. Well, I think I have my card on me but anyways, I mean, I forgot to close out. And it looks like the charge went through anyways.

I'm going to stick to my 5 star rating for Lula because it's honestly one of my favorite Brunch…read morespots. It is loud but most restaurants are. I always make a reservation so we never have any issues getting a table. Yesterday we arrived early so we sat at the bar waiting for our friends. I ordered the specialty frozen drink which was the Painkiller and it was delicious and had a kick! I'd definitely go back for that. My go to appetizers are the Lump Crab & Avocado Dip and the Brussel Sprouts. I am not a fan of Brussels sprouts but these are flash fried and seasoned perfectly. The wonton chips that come with the dip are the best I've ever had. This was my first time trying the Chicken and Biscuits and it did not disappoint although I couldn't eat much of it after the appetizers and my many vodka and cranberry juice care if the Bottomless bar. I was told they leave a carafe in the table now; however it's only if there are 8 people at the table??? Well I will still say it's a big waste of glasses to not leave a small carafe (one like wine comes in) for everyone who orders the Bottomless. We've always had friendly servers and a great time anytime we come here.

After several years, I finally made my way back to Lula for lunch! Both the hostess and server were…read morewarm and welcoming. I especially appreciated my server's honest feedback about the menu. Being a creature of habit, I ordered my usual Grilled Gulf Fish. The cilantro rice was just as delicious as I remembered! The fish had good flavor but could've spent a little less time on the grill. The vegetables were okay but missing that extra spark. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch experience. Great hospitality, a peaceful atmosphere, and a nice return to a familiar spot. I'll definitely be back!
