Crescent City Brewhouse

"The establishment features a bar on each floor, plus a third sidewalk bar! Very cool! We sat at the upstairs bar. The blonde ponytail Bartender there was surprisingly rude to us after I asked for a menu. We quietly left for the downstairs bar. That Bartender was marginally better-- he only radiated displeasure at having to be at work. The beer made on the premises is very good. Be prepared for the $18 cost for a draught! The oyster dish was devine. You are paying for the atmosphere and location close to the paddle wheel boat dock. We did meet two wonderful staff members. Both the Oyster Bar Attendant and the sidewalk Bartender were kind and very outgoing. Atmosphere is great. Fun to look around the attractive decore from our bar seats. Live jazz, however the trio were doing a midday sound check. We went here for drinks, based on our Gray Line New Orleans tour guides recommendation."

"While waiting to meet some friends and catch the first game of the World Series this spot caught our eye. After speaking with the host and asking if we could sit at the bar we were welcomed and sat immediately. The place was poppin but still able to easily have a conversation which is both rare, and welcome. The bartender was very quick and attentive to everyone’s needs and orders. We decided on the mushroom pasta, shrimp po-boy, alligator bites a tall fall ale and mimosa. The fall ale was perfect and the mimosa was refreshing. The alligator bites were delicious according to my wife, the shrimp po-boy came loaded with shrimp on a bed of more shrimp but came without remoulade and was somewhat dry (be prepared to dress it up yourself). The mushroom pasta….. Lord have mercy!! That dish was in a category of its own, and was absolutely delicious!!! I cannot recommend that one enough. All in all we truly enjoyed this spot and you should give them a try."

"This establishment was BUSY, but we found room at the bar, and the bartenders are super efficient and friendly. My martini was a bit short for $22 but tasty. I got a soft shell crab poboy and it was perfectly made and well spiced. The atmosphere was upbeat and the location is within the heartbeat of NOLA."
