This was by far my favorite part of my most recent trip to New Orleans. This is a relatively new brewery, but they have really great beers on tap! The atmosphere is super laid back and they have a great outdoor space to chill out and drink a beer with your friends. Definitely ask for a tour, too! They aren’t super scripted like the Abita one is and it makes the tour feel very personal — you can tell that the people that work at Second Line love what they do! Definitely an added bonus was the Dat Dog food truck outside the brewery! Definitely recommend this place!

This has become one of my favorite weekend stops. It’s kid and pet friendly. The beer is excellent and service is great. The«Route 47» red IPA and«cease to love» barrel aged Russian imperial stout are my favorites by far. Besides their flagship beers they also offer a few small batch beers that has been impressive. They have grown since the opening and have gone the distance to make things better, from the restrooms to glasses it’s coming together nicely.

This is such a cool place to go with friends and have a few beers. They have different food trucks nightly which are all delicious. It is also a great place for the kiddos with games for them and the adults. This will definetly become a regular hang out place for us!

Good solid beer styles, 5 – 6 styles on tap. Stout was clean and well rounded. Location in warehouse and patio has warm unpretentious feel. Food trucks on site. Will absolutely return.

I cannot appreciate enough having yet another haven for beer drinkers in NOLA. I, for one, am loving the surge of small batch, micro breweries in the city. I especially enjoy when a chill, pleasant atmosphere accompanies the tasty beer. Second Line Brewing offers just this. The large outdoor seating area is tucked away off the train tracks in a quiet, light industrial Mid City neighborhood. It’s an easy jaunt from City Park and just a little beyond where the Lafitte Greenway ends. They’ve done a great job of transforming their warehouse brewing space into an inviting spot without any frills or over-the-top gimmicks. Just nice lights, tables and chairs, and picnic tables. I’ve tried the IPA, which is a solid IPA that meets what you’d expect. But my personal favorite is the Trans-Siberian Coconut. It is an imperial stout so sip slow or share with a friend, because it will knock you out, but it is still surprisingly light and refreshing. I’m not a huge fan of coconut, but that flavor in this beer is so subtle that it adds a nice twist and is a welcome addition for me. My experience is that afternoons and early evenings are quite kid friendly. Always good for groups. Indoor seating is limited so I’ve yet to go on a rainy day. The t-shirts are super rad! And I’m usually a big fan of whoever’s playlist is playing!

Easily the best local brewery in town. If possible I’d keep it a secret because its like my second home on the weekend but I want to see them succeed.

Such a great new place! Loved the comfortable family atmosphere; both dogs and kids were present. Small selection of beer but the pale ale was great. Great quiet spot to unwind

As promised, I am bumping Second Line up star because they now have working bathrooms and they are pouring into glass! I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, just to check the place out again and see if anything had changed since my last visit. Sure enough, they are now pouring their beers into glass and they have added a few more brews since my last visit. I loved the Chocolate Spice Stout that had just enough«kick» to it, without being too overwhelming. I also tried the Trans-Siberian Coconut which definitely had that coconut flavor. It almost reminded me of a «Mounds» bar. There was a decent crowd for a Sunday and the bartenders were nice and helpful. I’m excited to come back and try more of their beer. I heard they are going to start bottling and canning after Mardi Gras, so that’ll be a cool expansion for the company. I’ll be eagerly awaiting what the future holds for this brewery.

Came here for a party and the place is nothing but a brew warehouse but the beer here is very good and strong. They are hidden behind some railroad tracks in mid city and offer standard microbrews. The ale won my approval, it was very good, not too heavy and doesnt ruin your dinner. The IPA was a little on the strong side if you are up for the challenge. After one big glass of IPA I was on water the rest of the night. Look out for their tap at a bar near you.

BLUF: My new second home. This place is a hidden gem in MidCity. Very very awesome. Hidden brewery with about 10 beers on tap. I only tried two but they were both great; a sweat potato saison(I think) and a lager. Both were great. They also have food trucks so you can eat there. The place itself is perfect. A big abandoned warehouse turned into a brewery plus both indoor and outdoor seating at large picnic tables and smaller tables. The people who work there are great. Very family/dog friendly. Perfect neighborhood feel. The perfect place to go for a game and a beer or just some beers.

I liked the place. It was opening weekend. I was really looking forward to a flight in some glasses, not plastic cups. Staff(I assume brewers) were very friendly, I appreciated that. I guess the reason for my three stars would be the lack of pint glasses. I prefer to drink my beer from a cold glass, especially when I’m going to a brewery tap room. Like I said, it was opening weekend. I’ll be back. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.

A new brewery in MidCity!!! YES! This place is fantastic. Has the intimacy of a beer garden, as it’s sandwiched in between two large buildings, but doesn’t feel cramped or sterile. They have about 5 – 7 beers on tap and you can run a tab at the check out area. There are many picnic tables and plenty of seating. We had a group pull up with our party to fill out the table. Very inviting. It’ll be great if they get some live music and bring in additional food trucks. Mid-City must’ve been«thirsty» for a spot like this, because it’s been packed since opening. The line gets pretty long waiting for a beer, hopefully they open up some more areas to buy. Beers I’ve had: Smoked Irish Red: Delicious! Very smokey and refreshing. I’m sad this is a rotating beer, I hope they bring it back. Batture Ale: Ok, it’s on the lighter side, so if you’re looking for something that’s easy to drink, go for this one. Nut Brown Ale: Good staple. A little sweet on the finish and heavier than expected, but not a bad choice. Red India Pale Ale: Easiest to drink and very refreshing. Good to pair with the food truck yumminess near by! **Cool fact: They are going to have plastic growlers for the parade route!
