Authentic New Orleans Fun: Abita, Beans and Blues

For some authentic New Orleans summer fun, you may just have to go just over the parish line.

If you came to town in the middle of summer, you might be wondering what there is to do around here. Mardi Gras and Jazzfest came and went, it’s months until Voodoo, and you’re tired of the Bourbon Street scene. Why not go off the beaten path? You could go down Airline Drive and take in a Zephyrs game – one of the cheapest ways to watch a pro sports team around. You could go to the New Orleans Museum of Art – admission is free on Wednesday afternoons, all summer long. And in the evening, you could see some good local music.

Why not come down to the Rivershack Tavern in Harahan? Every Monday night, we have Abita, Blues, and Beans with Amanda Walker and friends. Where Y’At Magazine called Amanda “a young artist from a small Missouri town with her eyes open wide to a world of exploration,” and her “N’Awlins piano pop” will get you going. Not to mention the fact that our red beans are so good, you’ll think you went by your mama’s house. Sit on one of our famous “Bar Legs” barstools, and top it all off by cooling off with our $2.00 Abita drafts.

If you come down to the Rivershack Tavern, you’ll be sure to go home with a full stomach, stories to tell, and a few new friends.
