Brennan's is Celebrating 80 Years in 2026!
When Brennan's opened in 1946, it was a time of innovation and excellence. Today, as Brennan’s navigates its own era of modernization, these same values resonate. Through it all, one constant: commitment to hospitality, culinary artistry, community, and creating memorable moments.
To kick off the 80th anniversary, on Friday, January 2nd, Brennan's will bring WDSU back to its Royal Street courtyard, for a revival of the restaurant’s 1950s live noonday broadcasts. Guests can enjoy a special $80 Breakfast Tasting Menu (available all year) featuring dishes from across eight decades, along with classic Brennan’s cocktails and bubbles. A portion of the day’s proceeds will benefit the Manning Family Children's Hospital, supporting its Imaginarium program, a place where patients have an opportunity to explore and dream.
80th Anniversary Breakfast and Dinner Tasting Menus available throughout 2026 along with our la carte menus.
