New Orleans On Tap: A Doggone Good Day

by The Red Streetcar September 23, 2011 Cocktail Culture

October in New Orleans is a pretty fantastic time weather-wise. Outdoor activity levels explode, as even the most staunch supporters of summer or winter agree October weather rocks. It’s the perfect time to grab the dogs and hit City Park. If you play your cards just right, you might be able to grab a little spot next to the Big …

Game Time is Always a Great Time at Gordon Biersch New Orleans

by Danielle Gilyot December 22, 2010 Cocktail Culture

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”  Yep, college bowl games are coming.  And where in New Orleans can you park yourself in front of a TV, drink freshly brewed award-winning beer, and munch on Glazed Chicken Wings, Shrimp and Chicken Pot stickers, or Grilled Chicken Skewers?  If the answer is not your house (and I’m jealous if it …

Mixology Classes: Learn to Make Cocktails in the City Famous for Them!

by Brooke Ashley Boudreaux November 19, 2010 Cocktail Culture

In New Orleans, we take our libations very seriously. It doesn’t matter if it’s mimosas at brunch, a glass of wine with dinner, or catching up with friends over a few Hurricanes: beer, wine, and liquor are all staples of the New Orleans lifestyle.

The Bulldog Mid-City: Have a Doggone Good Time in NOLA

by Brooke Ashley Boudreaux October 22, 2010 Cocktail Culture

I am not a beer drinker.

I’ve never understood the differences between ales, lagers or pilsners.  I don’t care to distinguish the different flavors and personalities between light beers and dark beers.  The thought of drinking 50 beers from 50 different countries around the world does not excite me.

However, if you’re not like me, and you do appreciate a …

French Quarter Fun at Night and Good Food in the Morning

by Sunny Dawn Summers July 26, 2010 Cocktail Culture

The best part about having friends who live in the French Quarter is being able to walk out the door to your local watering hole at night and grab an easy breakfast in the morning, half a block away.

I had walked by the Chartres Room (aka Chart Room) on the corner of Chartres and Bienville several times before first entering. …

Yo Mama’s: The French Quarter’s Great Equalizer

by The Red Streetcar July 2, 2010 Food

You know, things where people of all races, genders and socio-economic status can come together as one and put all their differences aside for one common purpose. Athletic competition is probably the most widely recognized great equalizer. Second and third to sports, is likely a great burger and yo …

Late Night NOLA: Uptown

by Andy June 11, 2010 Nightlife

New Orleans is known for late night drinks but there’s a lot more to the city than Bourbon Street. If you like beer, I mean good beer, then don’t miss a drink at one of these three uptown establishments.

If you’re a true beer connoisseur, don’t miss the Bulldog Bar on Magazine Street, which was listed as one of the …
