Passed through Louisiana and wanted to stop by a brewery. The outdoor seating area was large and great if your bringing a dog. The beer selection was great I loved that they had small special batches to try.

Great time at Abita Brew Co. today. Have been looking forward to stopping by here ever since we moved to LA about 4 years ago. In addition to great beers and service, the taproom manager Alex went above and beyond for me and made the experience truly personal. Can’t wait to come back here again. If you’re coming around the area, take the detour and go have a beer or two. Promise it won’t disappoint.

Abita Brewery is a Gem! We stopped for the night on our way to Alabama. Harvest Host has them on their list. Great parking area. Very quiet. Beautiful grounds. Fun karaoke night. But the best part was their beer. Huge production and so many great ones!!! If you find their brand in stores, buy it. If you're in Covington LA stop by. They are worth a stop. People are so nice too. Two thumbs up.

The tap room employees are the best and so is the freshness of the beer. They have a bunch of pilot beers on tap that you can't try anywhere else. The pilots are hit and miss but mostly hits. If you like Abita beers then chances are you'll like something on the pilot taps even more. One thing to mention is that there is no food there unless they bring in a food truck. It's an enjoyable nice place.

Went by on Saturday for something to do, and there was a craft fair going on across the street. There were also a few food trucks out front and a great crowd inside. We had a couple of beers and even took the 2:00 tour. JD did a great job showing us around and teaching us the history of the brewery. Was absolutely blown away by how big the operation was and the quality of the equipment behind the scenes. Totally worth taking the time to learn a little about the beer we were drinking.

Excellent brewery. Beer is great, environment is great, and people are super friendly. I wished we lived closer. Next time I’m in Louisiana, I will definitely visit again.

The brewery was pretty small and clean. Tour was great for $10, and you will get a pint or flight after the tour. There's outdoor space as well.

Edit: I am now adding a fifth star as a representative from their customer service team reached out to me and listened to what I had to say. I felt understood and appreciated. Thank you so much Heidi! You are amazing! It was difficult to find the entrance to the parking lot when coming in. Once parked, walk in and check in at the bar and get four doubloons to get beer after the tour. Walk to where the gift shop is and wait. The tour was nice. I like how they are intentional with their recycling and power usage. When the tour was over, I asked about getting the beverages to go and there was only the offer of open containers, which I didn't really want since I live about an hour away and came to the tour by myself. If I had been pulled over with four open containers, that would not have been a good look. They were also out of root beer in the gift shop, which is one thing that I knew I wanted and no one was around to ask for help. A female bartender said they were too busy to help with the gift shop questions. The tour is five stars, the bar and gift shop are one star.

We had a fun and informative tour. Our tour guide did a wonderful job explaining the process as well as what makes Abita different. My wife and I did tasting flights afterwards. Great beer! Keep an eye out for the beers currently on test runs. Give them feedback. It could become their next regular brew.

Abita is known for their use of local ingredients, commitment to sustainability and of course Purple Haze – one of the most popular raspberry brews in the US. Unfortunately for us, we landed on a day without tours, bummer. Even without a tour, we looked forward to getting our hands on beers outside our general distribution. In this case, the AndyGator, Strawgator and Bourbon Street Barrel Aged Imperial Stout ended up on our flight alongside a fresh Purple Haze. Bourbon Street BA is 100% the beer to get your hands on. BSBA is insanely smooth and delicious, also it was aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels. For those of you who don’t know Pappy, that’s kind of a big deal.

Huge place! There was a seafood boil outside since there’s no food inside. Pick up whatever you want to eat and bring it. All the beers on tap, lots of merchandise, and most of the beers in the fridge to bring home. Nice outdoor space to compliment the indoor bar, games provided, dog park and picnic tables too, ample parking

This is an offbeat wacky fun place to visit! Take your time and explore every building and appreciate the creativity. It's a little on the dark side with all of the animal creations. We spent a good deal of time at the "shard" house! Don't skip the restroom it's absolutely a creative space. May not be a place for very young kiddos.

Did not disappoint! We stopped by here as a detour on the way home from New Orleans and it was a welcome break. Totally worth the $5, which you pay at the end. We probably spent about 45 minutes there, but you could spend more time there if you play all the games. At the entry, you are given a few quarters and they have an original pac man game along with several operational old pin ball machines.

Absolutely delightful roadside attraction! This place is one of those classic spots in the style of old-timey gimmick 'museums' that's really just full of random detritus with clearly overblown labels. Don't expect an educational visit, but if you enjoy seeing bad taxidermy and collections of old miscellanea this spot is as committed to that theme as it gets.

This was a fun experience! It seemed more like an art installation of one person's musings and creativity than a museum though. It was charming and quirky, definitely recommend!

A very fascinating and unique experience. To some, this place may seem weird, but there’s art in the detail of every square inch of this place. I was impressed by the way ordinary, and some unordinary, items were engineered for motions and sounds. I most definitely recommend anyone in the area to visit this “Mystery House” at least once. Be ready to laugh, raise your eyebrows, and in general be very confused. And my advice for anyone who does visit, is to slow down and really take in all the intricacies. It’s easy to miss something if you’re not paying attention.

I have visited the Abita Mystery House at least a dozen times. Take your time and explore the collections. I always end up finding things I want in the gift shop - everything from novelties to original art and designer jewelry.

Pretty great roadside attraction!! It is more of a private art installation than a museum, but it is ran by the artist himself. Built by him over the last 23 yrs. Lots of interesting things to look at and experience. Found it via a YouTuber that had visited a few times and recommended it. Glad we pulled off the highway to experience it ourselves!

This place is so cool and a super easy to get too. It doesn’t take very long to go through but so worth it.

incredible place to visit. I need to go back and really take in all the museum has to offer... it's a lot of stuff... very interesting!!!

Took my wife and mother there on a Saturday afternoon before the LSU game. It was a wacky, unexpected, really nostalgic experience. John the owner was extremely nice and had a nice, long conversation about the house and it’s history and their plans, etc. We had a great time and really took our time throughout the trip, and with that we were only there an hour. You pay when you leave. The gift shop is really fairly priced. They aren’t trying to get rich here, just preserve the history and culture. Everyone should go, there’s something for everyone! Will be back!

This is such a bizarre and unique experience. The creativity displayed throughout is impressive and mind-blowing. I could walk through it a hundred more times and still find new things to see that I probably missed before. Jordan, the new caretaker, was friendly and charming and spent extra time sharing some history of the museum. This mystery house is definitely worth visiting!

Such a fun and unique visit. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town for the brewery. Also, the $5 mystery bag is worth it :)

A visual treat for locals and tourists. Great gift shop for souvenirs or quirky gifts! Fun for children and adults.

The Abita Mystery House is definitely worth seeing. It’s a large folk art installation hidden in the small town of Abita Springs. The museum is filled with quirky animatronics, pinball machines, and arcade games. The gift shop has fun pins, hats, t-shirts and more!

Super fun and a must visit museum! I had such a great time exploring everything and the owner was so nice! Worth the drive from New Orleans. Admission was only $5. Honestly could have spent hours there just playing in the token part.

This place is a national treasure, and so is its proprietor John Preble. This was the first time we've visited since 2013, and it was wonderful to see that there are more exhibits now, and the place continues to evolve. Definitely worth a long detour if you're not in the area. It's free to get into, but you have to pay to get out. Well worth it. There's a cat roaming around who welcomes guests and accompanies people through the exhibits; we found out it's a neighbor cat who just shows up every day when they open, and goes home when they close. This place is everything I love about Americana, old-timey roadside attractions, and outsider art.

Extremely cool and entertaining experience, owner is friendly and hospitable, great for photo ops.

We love this place. Not far from home. It gets us away from the hustle and bustle and back to nature. Information is provided at different stations. my six year old would go everyday if he could.

Great easy "hike". The Flatwoods offers an environment unlike any other on the north shore.

Pitcher plants are neat to look at and have beautiful blooms. This was an easy trail, nice wooded path, maintained just enough but swampy to get a wild view. The signs could be updated/reprinted they're faded a good bit. 5 star because I love all efforts to preserve wildlife.

Beautiful trail! Excellent weather for a hike! 🥾☀️🌿

Great local preserve with easy access. We visited on Sunday April the 14th and the gate was closed, however you could park just outside and walk in. We brought our granddaughter and her stroller and were easily able to navigate through the trail. About 60% of it is on man made decking which is nice. Great views, and happened to be a very mild day weather wise. Will be going back to spend a little more time as it was rather peaceful. Was very neat to be able to see all of the different carnivorous plants, as we were not expecting that.

Great trails and signage. So much to see and experience at all hours of the day.

Upland bog plants are fascinating. Two kinds of pitcher plants - yellow and parrot - are blooming now (April). Wonderful place for nature photography.

Nice boardwalk & trail. Loved seeing the pitcher plants on the mud trail, other flowers & birds. Only wish they had a portalet!
