The only microbrewery in the French Quarter, Crescent City Brewhouse sits on historic ground. Once the site of a two-story 14 room house dating to the 1700s, the building was razed by fire and rebuilt as a fine French Quarter home in the early 1800s. Later home to a fur processing plant, the building was vacant until it was renovated and opened as the Brewhouse in 1991, the first brewery to open in the state in more than 72 years. Enjoy a beer sample of the house brew along with the likes of fresh oysters, crabcakes, boudin balls and alligator bites.
