Downtown New Orleans has not one but two micro-breweries!
By staff writer, Sal Mannino

The Crescent City Brewhouse, located in the French Quarter near the river, is not only a really good restaurant but it's also the only micro-brewery in the Vieux Carre. Dining for lunch or dinner in a casual atmosphere is relaxed and festive. You can listen to live Jazz on most nights or just sit outside on the upstairs balcony overlooking the Mississippi. Upstairs makes a great place for private parties. The house selection of distinctive lagers are brewed daily on site and have won numerous awards. My personal favorite is the Pilsner Brew, a light beer that is one of many to select from.

Gordon Biersch Brewery, located across from Harrah’s Casino, has great food in a casual atmosphere featuring American cuisine influenced by International flavors. It also offers fresh beer specializing in authentically brewed German lagers. With several large TV screens in the bar area, it makes for a great place to gather for all sporting events. This venue has become a popular meeting place for local businesses and its proximity to the Convention Center makes it very convenient for convention delegates. Private areas are available for parties and validated parking is available in Harrah’s garage.

Hungry and thirsty visitors can’t go wrong choosing either the Crescent City Brewhouse or Gordon Biersch for a really enjoyable dining experience along with a fresh cold brew.
