About Bywater Brew Pub
Locally owned and operated, BBP features an upscale bar food menu, 12 taps for beers brewed on site and a full bar. The space features art from local artists, many of whose studios are located on the second floor. Located at 3000 Royal Street at the corner of Montegut in the Bywater Neighborhood of New Orleans Louisiana, we look forward to serving our neighbors in the Bywater and beyond.
