We picked up a bottle of rosé and picked up some complimentary plastic cups for them. The prices are reasonable and the selection is aplenty. There's also a nice liquor selection, although we had just come in looking for wine. It was tempting. A lot of reviews reference making your own drinks here. This didn't happen for us - but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it existed. I'll have to take a closer look when I'm back. Next time I'm in town in the French Quarter (next week...), I'll be sure to stock up on my alcohol needs here! Don't be surprised to see me here in the next 7-8 days...

Reasonable selection, all things considered. It earns that bonus star by having several choices of regional beers sold by the can and chilled for $2.50. Even if you couldn't pour it into a cup and walk around the quarter with your beer, that's still a pretty good deal. Also, I was delighted they sold Herbsaint in small 200ml bottles. I'll confess to bringing my bottle back to the hotel, putting some in a plastic cup with an appropriate volume of water, and using that as my walking around town drink. Infinitely better (and more authentically NOLA) than the frozen slop that gets you sloppy. Anyhow, I'm sure to return to pick up some beverages whenever I'm back in town. It's a recommended stop for sure. Good stuff. Convenient location. Zero pretense.

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.

The servers were friendly and open to offering pairing suggestions.

Our favorite bite was definitely the Plucky Popcorn (cacio e pepe). I also enjoyed the fact that they feature a wine of the day called the "Daily Pluck". Not to keep going on about the aesthetics, but I loved the atmosphere inside, which was very open, modern, and chic, and the unique Wine Aroma Wheel featured on the left wall when you walk in was super cool.

It certainly wasn't what I was expecting from a wine shop on St. Charles Avenue on the edge of the Garden District. The counter is set up high, behind plexiglass, like a thousand other convenience stores in this city, and the back is just that. But up front is a very impressive selection of wine and spirits, including three bottles of first-growth Bordeaux perched high up on the top shelf. But there are many affordable bottles from all over the world. I fell in love with a bottle of Côte du Rhône on my first visit, and had to go get another one a week later. The staff are friendly and helpful. I think maybe the ownership is Middle Eastern; the gentleman who greeted me both times appears to be, and they have a display of Lebanese wine, with a sign encouraging you to try it, right up front.
