Beer Rumors 6/28/2010: Mellow Mushroom New Orleans



A lot of times I'll see something open up in Baton Rouge or Covington and wonder why the hell aren't they in New Orleans. When people think of Louisiana they only think of one city. New Orleans. What possesses companies to move to any other city in this state first? I guess I'll never understand it.

Anyways, one of those businesses is Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers. There is one in Baton Rouge and one in Covington. Seriously? WTF? I'll allow my anger to subside but only because I have received some information stating that they are in fact coming to the New Orleans area. In fact, my source tells me they are looking at an Uptown location and hoping to open by November. For those of you that like pizza and beer like myself this is great news. Their pizza is great and their beer is usually a nice selection. I'll keep you up to date if I hear anything else!

Cheers!

Yea but think about it like this..."What does BR have that NOLA does not? LSU!
Beer and Pizza are the life blood of most students. LSU is known for drinking...so you get Mellow opening up there first.

LSU can suck it. New Orleans has more colleges than Baton Rouge.

Tanya,

Red Brick is still not available here in Louisiana. Alabama will still be the closest you'll be able to find it. Sorry.

Cheers!
