"Right where the Lafitte Greenway meets Bayou St. John in Mid-City is a big compound formed by Bayou Beer Garden and Bayou Wine Garden. The related (though separate businesses) share a massive courtyard, where the crowds for both spill into each other while watching the latest game on TV or digging into heaping piles of fries, burgers, and wraps. You might also get lucky and score a couple of pounds of freshly-boiled crawfish from a vendor out back, who pulls right into the parking lot to serve the masses. Just remember that the bars have separate menus, so take a walk around to scope out your favorites amongst the extensive list of beers and wines on tap and by the bottle." - chelsea brasted
"It’s kind of a no-brainer that this beer garden tucked away on Jeff Davis Parkway in Mid City is a great place to cheer on LSU or the Saints. As the weather cools, check out the games while sitting outside on Bayou Beer Garden’s expansive patio. Also, sister pub Bayou Wine Garden is just next door, so your football-watching beverage selection is much expanded." - Eater Staff
"Officially Bayou Beer and Wine Garden, inclusive of its next-door sibling, this wildly popular Mid-City complex attracts all manner of canines and their humans for outdoor fun and imbibing. An array of 30 beer taps, including plenty of local IPAs, is one big draw. Another is the wine on tap, dispensed by the glass and the carafe. There’s a fine menu of disco fries, shareables, and sandwiches, too." - Beth D’Addono
"One location, four bars, two menus. It’s truly a choose-your-own-adventure at Bayou Beer Garden and Bayou Wine Garden, which is why it’s the perfect place to go when you don’t know where you want to go. Our two favorite spots are the wine garden for some moules frites and sangria on tap, and the beer garden, where we like to post up for a burger and an IPA. It’s the move for an early work Happy Hour (it starts at 3pm), which might explain why we always run into teachers here." - Megan Braden-Perry
"Bayou Beer Garden, known for its lively daytime patio during football season, serves food until midnight. Love that they have a 5- or 10-ounce Angus burger — the smaller option leaves room for sides like disco fries topped with cheddar and debris gravy. The portobello sandwich is a vegetarian-friendly munch." - Beth D’Addono
