"This fun addition to New Orleans’s Bywater neighborhood is a reliable source of to-go drinks, and Mardi Gras day is no exception. Bywater Brew Pub will be open beginning at 8 a.m. at the corner of Royal and Clouet to intercept revelers on their way to the Quarter with to-go beers, bloody marys, and snacks, closing up in the early afternoon." - Clair Lorell
