Vast beer selection, creative pub grub, and balcony views
"Mardi Gras central since it opened in 1987, Avenue Pub is open for the duration, with a limited menu of food faves, Jell-O shots galore, frozen daiquiris, and of course 48 beers on tap. Lots of portable toilets in the back, but you need to buy a drink/get a wristband to use them. Limited to 21 and over on Mardi Gras day." - Beth D’Addono
"Listed as open on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at its St. Charles Avenue location (no hours specified)." - Clair Lorell
"While the Avenue Pub is known for its world-class beer list, the food menu is not to be missed. Served until midnight every day except Sunday (11 p.m.), the new cuisine under Blue Oak BBQ ownership ranges from straight-up pub food like cheesy boudin balls and beef fat tater tot poutine smothered with gumbo gravy, Hook’s cheddar, and jalapenos, to a refined chopped kale salad with collard greens and fried Ranch chickpeas and a grilled chicken club with white barbecue sauce. Everything is delicious, and specials abound." - Beth D’Addono
"Don’t be fooled by Avenue Pub’s vast beer selection — this place is also a destination for bourbon, whiskey, and rye, as well as frozen drinks when the season’s right. Expect classics like a frozen Irish coffee made with Tullamore Dew as well as creative, unexpected concoctions like a Honey Hound, made with honeysuckle vodka, grapefruit, lime, and Aperol." - Beth D’Addono
"Known for its vast beer selection, the Avenue Pub is back open under new owners with a better-than-ever menu of pub food. Downstairs, a cluster of high tables means the room can get crowded with dining patrons; upstairs the balcony is back open with its wrap-around balcony overlooking the streetcar line and a smaller bar with an impressive selection of brown goods: bourbon, whiskey, and rye. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. with a slew of $5 offerings — wine, pilsners, margaritas, and a High Life/Tullamore Dew combo; and for food, there are $5 boudin balls, wings, and pub sliders." - Eater Staff
