St Charles Bar And Tavern

This is such a wonderful place. Do not pass up the opportunity to try the food. This is not your typical bar food. Clay and the rest of the kitchen staff are incredible. Every plate is obviously made with care. They have an impressive variety of beers on tap. Their evening bartenders are efficient and clearly hardworking. The mezcal smokey is a must try. This may have become my favorite bar in the city. They even do trivia on Tuesday nights. The Avenue Pub is a fantastic place to meet with friends, have drinks, or even just go for brunch or dinner.

My party was visiting New Orleans from Texas. The first place we saw near our hotel was the Avenue Pub. It must have been divine intervention. They were just starting trivia night, so we signed up. It was loads of fun. I ordered the chicken poppers which were the largest chicken poppers I have ever seen. They were super tasty and we ended up going back several more times during our trip. The staff gave us lots of recommendations for fun stuff to do while in town. We will definitely visit the Avenue Pub again.

We went in on a Saturday night for dinner and it was a very relaxed atmosphere that is self serve bar & food. The current restaurant is blue oak bbq and the food was delicious! We split the pub double burger (herb mayo on the side) and the spicy chicken sandwich (pub aioli on the side). That spicy chicken sandwich had great flavor and the perfect amount of kick to it! Both mayo and aioli where really good even for the non mayo guy who made us put it on the side in the first place. We also had Guinness at the pub and I had tried the Irish frozen coffee. The atmosphere has an Irish pub feel to it with the dark wood, mirrors and all sorts of oddities and tchotchkes to look at. There is also a cute train that circles the bar.

Have to tell you guys this place was awesome one of our favorite places to visit. They have three different sections you can kind of consider a downstairs and upstairs and outside even in the upstairs has a balcony, just beautiful...the food was great! the choices of drinks here are just unbelievable they have such a huge list of liquors, and we actually went back two more times on our trip. The only thing was it was a little warm, but the whole state is right :), and we didn't get to see the iconic train going around, which would have been a total bonus!

Glad to see the Avenue Pub revived and still around. Sadly, the 24 hour service is gone (for now anyway) and the dusty inside is cleaned up in favor of a welcoming environment for all. I can't be too mad about that since it's still around to serve up a fantastic frosty beer and tasty grub. I love the new menu, sharing some nods from Blue Oak BBQ (who now own the joint.) While I didn't eat anything I can't wait to return to try the Louisiana Dip - drool! Love the outdoor balcony too overlooking St. Charles. Just look at it all decked out for Carnival season! Also love the touch of the toy streetcar making the rounds above you which always reminds you to check that schedule if you've overstayed your limit and need to scoot! No trip to New Orleans is complete without a stop here and I'm so glad it's still around for all to enjoy!

GREAT local flavor and pub setting. Try the blood orange Old Fashion please. The bar's got some magic goin' on. The Toast Aux Champignon is a specialty for a very good reason and if you're stuck on which grilled cheese to order…Get the one with the pear... yep...spicy pear. It changed me. WONDERFUL service, very cool folks made superb recommendations. The whole menu looked good. I can't wait to go back.
