The Brass Alley, a New Orleans themed restaurant opening soon at 1023 N. Old World 3rd St., will be open tonight for a special sneak preview starting at 7 p.m.

The kitchen won't be open quite yet, but guests can get a first look at the space, which mimics the look and feel of an alleyway in The Big Easy.

The bar will be serving up cocktails along with street-style frozen bourbon drinks from 7 p.m. through bar time.

So, if you're Downtown for the Garth Brooks concert, you might want to take a peek.

The Brass Alley officially opens to the public on Oct. 2.

Watch OnMilwaukee for additional information as its available.
