Microbrewery meets fine dining? I'm new to the neighborhood and moved to the area feeling confident that I'd chosen an apartment near a quality craft brewery. My first visit went really poorly.First of all, there's no outside food allowed, which is totally fine, but I couldn't find this info out online before I arrived. So I arrived with some takeout, ordered some beer (served in a plastic cup), and was asked to sit outside. I went outside to a type of foyer area with high table and proceeded to have dinner. Soon after, the proprietor came out and asked me to move even further away, to the picnic tables. This seemed silly and unnecessary, as there weren't many customers around and no one seemed to notice. It was an unusually chilly night and I had just a long sleeve shirt on, so it was doubly callous.I finished my food and beer in the car before leaving.Overall, for a brewery, it's focused more on the food it serves. That's fine, but it's unusual, as most craft breweries allow you to bring food in or have a food truck outside.Most importantly, the proprietor seems to lack some basic social skills and tact. He could've had a loyal local customer for the next year. Instead, I'll just stick to Miel or Second Line.Bonus info: they only seem to serve light beers (under 5%). That's also odd. I've only come across that in England where lower ABV beers are taxed less...

Service was good. Beer was ok. We really wanted to send the food back. Do not get the jerk chicken sandwich or fungi fingers. I have hopes they will improve and know they are a new business.

The waiter served me a beer and said it was an IPA. When I drink it completely tasted like an ale. Told me it was incorrect. Served me another one. Tasted exactly like the same beer as previously served. Food was good. All the beer tasted exactly the same.Kid-friendliness: Only had sprite...... My son wanted Dr. Pepper. Parents understand.
It’s really sad. Took ages for them to finally have their own beer, which is ok. The menu is very limited and seems to primarily be greasy bar food. They don’t seem to have a customer base, and the place is mostly empty. They have pleas on social media to support them, but it’s unfortunately hard to see a compelling reason why when there are so many other choices.

In town for the po boy festival, Calliope went out of their way to facilitate all of the people on the street with water and a nice space to sit... and of course their beers which were nicely priced, cold and delicious! I brew beer in the fl panhandle and I shall return to celebrate both your beer and your hospitality! Thank you!

They got some tasty eats over here. Stop in and see Joel.
Finally had a chance to go over and taste their beers. They have 4 of their own beers on tap and we had three of them. They are a tad undercarbobated, I think, but considering this is one of their first beers with a new system, this is a great start. Very much looking forward to more of the beers.

They finally have their own beers on tap although there's only four to start. The beers are solid and the food menu is decent and the food is solid as well. I can't wait until they get more beers on tap.

Good beer selection, house-crafted beers, in a wide range of styles. Service was attentive and helpful. I loved the open air atmosphere on the patio with a view of a verdant levee bank and an occasional train. A convivial spot for conversations with friends. No blathering loudmouths and bigscreen televisions. My new goto beer joint!

I went to Calliope Beer Works on Friday and it's truly a hidden gem in NOLA! I got the pretzel bites and the pimento grilled cheese with fries. The pretzel bites were amazing and come with the best beer cheese dipping you'll ever had. But the best thing on the menu are the fries... OH MY GOD! Literally the crispiest fries you will ever have - a MUST try. The atmosphere was perfect for a post-work drink with your friends and they have happy hour every day. The service was amazing and Farrah & Roi were quick to take my order and bring out my food. This place is a MUST GO if you're in the city.
Stopped in for a quick bite while passing through town. Enjoyed the patio, the food was perfection, and the staff is genuine. Made for a great NOLA visit. Will have to come back to try the beers. Chicken and Waffles hit the spot!
THIS PLACE IS CLOSED!!!
