Been a few times. Think it's a good addition to the area.

Good place to watch a game. For food I've had the dry rubbed wings, the pretzel with beer cheese sauce, and a burger. All were well above expectations, especially the wings. Definitely give those a try when you go.

Servers have been knowledgeable as far as I can tell. I was worried when they were out of a particular beer that I wanted that the waitress would suggest something more expensive, but was pleasantly surprised she got me something similar at the same price point. Some places will use that situation as a chance to stick you with a pricier alternative without telling you.

Food was above average and their selection of beer was not disappointing.

Are the wings breaded or "naked" ?

Breaded. Can't recall if they had a naked option or not.

It is very pricey. I nearly choked when I got my bill, but I did have a good time, and the food was good enough.

Huge upgrade over everything else around, but it depends on what you are looking for as well. It's not Avenue in terms of selection, and it won't fill that super maven niche. It's fine as a grab a beer on the way home from work spot.

I'd say WOB would be somewhere in the middle of these 2.

With 400 options that change all the time it is a place where anyone can find some things they'd enjoy.

Disclaimer: I'm not a maven and I have not been to the one in Metairie.

Care to elaborate? I'm curious.

Pricey compared to what?

I liked it. The set up is great and the staff was helpful and all of that when I went.

Thought it was a slight upgrade over Lagers, which is the only other good beer place in Jeff Parish that I can think of.

Good. Only been a couple times. Haven't found the prices to be outrageous or anything.

They have an app that you can use to track which beers you've had and what kegs were just tapped at the location you're at. It's pretty neat.

Should've seen this apology email they sent out to loyalty members this week.

Haven't had the food but the beer selection is decent. Don't like how they charge tax, pet peeve. (atleast round to the nearest dollar ) Décor is nice and the place always seems packed.

I like Lagers still has the better selection but WoB is a welcome addition to the Metry beer scene.

Just downloaded this to see what they have on draft and saw that they have a Warehouse District location coming soon to 300 Julia.

It's solid. Food was alright, the bartenders were knowledgable enough and they had a shite ton of beers.

My tabs have always been a couple bucks higher than what I think they should be. I chalk it up to the superior atmosphere. I don't have to deal with the NOLA trash and gutterpunks and can enjoy my beer without having the nose ruined by the smell of piss and vomit.

Yeah, they're not bad and the little app is a nice tool.

Went once- a few weeks ago- on a Friday night. It was about 75% full- this was about 7pm.

Decent beer selection- you can use an ipad to read up on the beers- but they didnt have 2 of the beers we wanted.

Got some wings, bratwurst sliders, and one of those giant pretzels hanging from a metal rack. All were good.

Seemed a bit pricy. Would go back, but not often.

I'd give it *** out of 5.
