New Orleans-based craft brewery Port Orleans Brewing is planning a major expansion with a second facility in Gretna.
Port Orleans Brewpub will be the centerpiece of a new “lifestyle development” planned for old Gretna, close to the Mississippi River, a complex that city and parish officials tout as a potential new hub of activity for the area.
“We’re bringing something big to Gretna,” said Don Noel, president and managing partner of Port Orleans Brewing.
The development is slated for what is now a surface parking lot at the corner of Huey P. Long Avenue and 2nd Street, between Gretna City Hall and the Second Parish Court building.

New Orleans firm Trapolin-Peer Architects is designing the project, and Landis Construction has been selected for the work. Construction is slated to begin early in 2024, with completion projected for mid-2025.
