Monthly on every second Wednesday

Settle in for a laid-back night of honky tonk and western swing as Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue take the stage at NOLA Brewing on Friday, March 13 at 7pm.

Gal Holiday consistently draws a great crowd, thanks to her warm vocals, relaxed groove, and a sound that feels effortless and lived-in. This is the kind of show that pairs perfectly with a drink in hand, good company, and an unhurried night out.

Free show. Music starts at 7pm.

Right after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Uptown New Orleans

When the parade ends, we’re just getting started.

Flogging NOLA is our annual post-parade blowout. The crowd finds its way in from the route and we turn it up with rowdy Irish rock, Celtic punk, and high-energy sing-along anthems.

Cold craft beer. Full bar. Pizza and wings. Parade energy, amplified.

Parade first. Flogging NOLA second.

5 PM. 🍀

Every Monday

The Bluegrass Pickin' Party is an open acoustic bluegrass jam.  Bring your guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass, dobro, harmonica, or singing voice to join the jam circle. Beginners welcome to come and learn traditional bluegrass music. Intermediate and advanced players welcome as well.   This weekly jam is also open to anyone and everyone who'd like to come listen and enjoy the music.

Join us for a night of Louisiana roots music with Louis Michot & Swamp Magic.

Best known as the fiddle player and lead singer of the Grammy-winning Cajun band Lost Bayou Ramblers, Michot has built a reputation for honoring traditional Cajun music while pushing it into new territory. With Swamp Magic, he blends classic Cajun fiddle and accordion with pedal steel, driving rhythms, and modern influences that give the music a fresh edge while staying true to its Louisiana roots.

The result is a sound that feels both deeply traditional and completely alive.

Free show • Music starts at 7 PM.

17 Years of Beers – Anniversary Party

We’re celebrating 17 years of beers at NOLA Brewing & Pizza Co., and we’re throwing a proper party to mark the occasion.

Johnny Sketch and The Dirty Notes will be taking the stage for a big anniversary show, bringing the kind of high-energy performance that turns a regular night into something memorable.

And the best part? The show is completely free.

We’ll also have:

• Exclusive new beer releases

• Crawfish & oysters

• NYC-style pizza & wings

• Full bar pouring all night

• All ages welcome

No tickets. No tiers. Just a great New Orleans night celebrating 17 years of beers with the people who’ve supported us along the way.

Come raise a glass with us.

Al’s HWY50 brings their upbeat mix of reggae, ska, rock, and jazz to the stage at NOLA Brewing & Pizza Co.

Led by songwriter, keyboardist, and vocalist Al Laughlin, a founding member of the Colorado band The Samples, Al’s HWY50 delivers groove-driven songs, soulful vocals, and a fun, danceable live show.

Opening the night is special guest Jon Roniger, known locally for his work with Jon Roniger and the Good For Nothin’ Band, bringing his New Orleans-flavored roots sound to kick off the evening.

Come hang out for a great Saturday night of live music alongside craft beer, pizza, wings, and a full bar.

Swamp Boss returns to NOLA Brewing for round two.

After last year’s show turned into one of those nights people kept talking about long after the lights came up, we knew we had to run it back.

Honey Island Swamp Band returns with Swamp Boss, their high-energy tribute to the music of Bruce Springsteen. Instead of a straight cover set, they put their own Louisiana spin on the songs. Think swampy grooves, big sing-along moments, and a room full of people shouting every word.

Opening the night is a fan favorite that also returns to the stage this year. Talking Grass, the bluegrass tribute to Talking Heads performed by The Tanglers, flips those iconic songs into fast-picking, banjo-driven versions that are as fun as they are surprising.

Last year the energy in the room was unreal. The crowd loved it, the band loved it, and by the end of the night everyone agreed…we had to do it again.

Swamp Boss 2026 Friday, April 24 Show starts at 8:30 PM

Tickets Day of Show and at Door $30 on 4/24/2026

Fest has a way of creating bands that only exist for a weekend.

On Saturday, April 25, Nick Etwell — trumpeter with Mumford & Sons and leader of the UK soul-jazz outfit The Filthy Six — brings a special Filthy Six All-Stars lineup to NOLA Brewing for a one-off Fest collaboration.

The group features Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds on guitar, Joe Ashlar on Hammond organ, Brad Walker on saxophone, and Brian Richburg Jr. on drums, with a special guest star bassist rounding out the rhythm section.

The Filthy Six sound sits right in that sweet spot where funk, soul jazz, blues, and Latin boogaloo meet the classic Hammond-organ groove tradition. Tight horns, deep pocket, and plenty of room for the band to stretch out.

The kind of lineup that gets musicians’ attention during Fest weekend.

If you like catching great players locking into a groove and seeing where it goes, this is one worth being in the room for.

$25 advance

$30 at the door and day of.

FishHead Dead comes to the Barn at NOLA Brewing on Thursday, April 30 at 7:30 PM for a completely free show.

This lineup brings together standout players from the New Orleans and Bay Area scenes: Camile Baudoin (The Radiators), Joe Cabral (The Iguanas), Jeremy Hoenig (SF Bay Area stalwart), Scott Cooper (The China Cats), JP McLean (SF Bay Area stalwart), and Wally Ingram (David Lindley).

The band pulls from a wide range of material rooted in both the jam-band world and the rich musical traditions of New Orleans. Expect a mix of familiar songs, Crescent City classics, and original material from a lineup of musicians who know how to make a great night of live music happen.

No cover. Just a great Thursday night in the Barn with live music and a room full of serious players.

Craft beer, cocktails, wine, pizza, wings, and the full menu will be flowing all night.

Fest season in New Orleans means great music everywhere you turn, but we’re especially excited about this one.

HollyRock has quickly become one of the most talked-about live bands in the city, and the last two times they played NOLA Brewing the Barn was absolutely packed. Their musicianship, energy, and love for classic American roots music make them the perfect band to take on a catalog as legendary as The Band.

For this special show, HollyRock presents “Life Is A Carnival,” a full night celebrating the music of one of the most influential groups ever to shape rock, folk, country, and soul. It’s the kind of music made for big stages, big sing-alongs, and a room full of people having a great time together.

Fest weekend crowds, a packed room, incredible songs, and one of New Orleans’ hottest bands bringing it all to life on stage. If their past shows here are any indication, this one is going to be a blast.

Come early, grab pizza or wings, a cold craft beer or something from the full bar, and get ready for a night of timeless music and serious fun.
