"The Avenue Pub’s vast beer selection features local breweries as well as relatively unknown, seasonal, and artisanal ales from around the world. Bartenders are knowledgeable and ready to help; downstairs the focus is on beer and pub grub, upstairs is a smaller bar with an impressive selection of bourbon, whiskey and rye, as well as a wrap-around balcony overlooking the streetcar line (and Mardi Gras parade route). As for its impressive food, an ever-changing menu from the guys at Blue Oak BBQ combines classic Cajun flavors with elevated pub food." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono, Justine Jones
