This bar’s structure dates back to the mid-18th century, and has a large second floor balcony that overlooks passersby and Mardi Gras parades come February. Avenue Pub boasts the city’s largest collection of beers—local, oddball, classic—and a very large list of whiskies. Recently smoke-free and open 24 hours, it’s an ideal place to jump-start or round-out your evening with a craft brew.
