Breweries – these are all in the warehouse district, a short cab from the quarter

NOLA brew pub - Tchoupitoulas, cool outdoor/indoor bar by the port and very good BBQ food
Urban South Brewery - never been here but the beer is good, usually only food trucks for food
Port Orleans - further up Tchoupitoulas, not sure about the food as this place just opened

This list is missing Courtyard Brewery which is probably the best locally-made beer in the city. None of their stuff is distributed at all but it's all fantastic (particularly the west coast IPAs), and they'll usually have 15-20 beers by other breweries on tap as well.

Also, if you're taking a day uptown for Commander's or whatever, the Avenue Pub is more or less the granddaddy of the whole craft beer scene here - massive selection, very knowledgable staff, and extremely chill. They were on our NPR station's food show last year because they closed down for a week in order to take their whole staff to Belgium to tour breweries.

loving awesome. Trying the IPAs right now and you are spot on. Best in the city.

Excellent!

I can't say enough good things about the owner/brewmaster, Scott - they hit a really sorely lacking aspect of the beer market here.
