Part of this is due to craft beer passing its peak and corporate beer successfully neutering much of the industry.
While not at the same investment level others are soon to follow. NOLA Brewery has shrunk its footprint and is empty more nights than full. If Port Orleans cannot keep up with private events they are heading the same way.
All three share one thing in common. They built a nice space and had decent food and forgot about making good beer.
Urban South just closed its Houston taproom and is also lowering its once innovative brew standards.
As to Dixie specifically, it is not shocking how unsuccessful Gayle has been in business since Tom passed. Before she "accidentally" met Tom at his wife's funeral she was sued dozens of times and once arrested for fraud in connection with her interior design business.

I don't know about that. Gnarly Barley in Hammond seems to be thriving. They are busy all the time and continue to have great events and such. It's nice being able to go there and catch a game and get some good beer on tap. Of course they have the food place right there too. Dine Gnar is awesome.

it’s about the beer, then the facility.
The facility she built is first class, really nice and a great place to hang. Daze between fest is a good time
The beer didn’t hold up it’s end of the deal

Nola was actually doing good beer at the point they decided to go all in a their taproom that didn’t really take off at all.
The smaller places that just focus on their beer offerings seem to be hanging on okay. I like Parleaux and Brieux Carre.
Again, it seems to all about finding your niche and catering to it, versus thinking you can ever be everything to everyone.

Really???? Their Houston operation always focused on these hooky concoctions so not surprising
