"This Bywater spot announced an extended pause beginning July 1 as the latest New Orleans restaurant to shut down operations for the entire summer in hopes of enduring beyond the season; father-son owners Nahum and Dylan Laventhal wrote on Instagram that doors won't remain totally closed because the brewery will continue to host occasional pop-ups (most recently Chance in Hell SnoBalls and Lunch, a Tuscan schiacciata sandwich pop-up) and that plans beyond this summer are in flux." - Clair Lorell
"I visit Bywater Brew Pub on Wednesdays for Milkfish and note it also serves as a supportive venue for pop-up chefs." - Beth D’Addono
"I served as executive chef at New Orleans’s Bywater Brew Pub for almost three years, where I cooked Viet‑Cajun pub fare and my big seller was a braised beef and herb‑stuffed phorrito. The show’s finale staged a 40‑person reveal dinner there—scallion‑ and peanut‑topped baked oysters, sour mustard green soup, and ginger‑caramelized chicken—after producers redecorated the restaurant so I could recreate the Vietnamese dishes my mother used to make." - Justine Jones
"For a neighborhood spot, BABs is a go-to for Shannon Bingham, chef and pitmaster at new downtown barbecue destination Devil Moon BBQ. “We live a few blocks away and my daughter is hooked on their spaghetti al pomodoro. It’s a frequent family dinner destination. R&O’s in Bucktown is also a personal day-off favorite.”" - Beth D’Addono
"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
