The editorial take
Brickyard South Bar + Patio runs a serious bar program behind a casual patio. The cocktail list leans on bourbon and rye, with the Brickyard Old Fashioned and Sazerac as anchors. The beer list spotlights Louisiana craft, and the spirits shelf includes allocated bourbons and high-end tequilas. Non-alcoholic options are thoughtful, but the wine list is slim.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Brickyard Old Fashioned, built on Buffalo Trace with Peychaud's bitters. For beer, Parish Ghost in the Machine offers a Louisiana hazy IPA. If you're drinking spirits neat, Blanton's Single Barrel or Don Julio 1942 Añejo are worth the pour.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate allocated pours like Blanton's and Weller. Tequila fans can explore high-end expressions such as Don Julio 1942 and Clase Azul Reposado. The lineup of local Louisiana beers will appeal to craft drinkers.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings half-priced specialty cocktails. Weekday specials rotate, including Wednesday's $5 double Jameson and Thursday's $5 double Titos.
- What should I expect to spend?
- PBR runs about three bucks, and daily specials offer value. Premium spirits and specialty cocktails are available at standard bar pricing.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirits selection goes beyond typical bar stock with allocated bourbons like Blanton's and Weller, plus high-end tequilas such as Clase Azul. The cocktail menu is built around named bourbons and ryes, and the beer list carries several Louisiana breweries.
