Our expansive balcony (seating for 25, capacity of 75) is now open 7 nights a week and also for ALL Saints Games!
The balcony has a fully stocked bar with 8 rotating draft lines…we send the really special beers upstairs!
Tuesday night is Trivia Night with fun prizes and great trivia callers. Wednesday night is our weekly beer tasting at 7:30pm. Friday nights are Firkin Fridays; most Fridays we tap a cask ale from an assortment of fine craft brewers including NOLA, Lazy Magnolia, Stone, Brooklyn, etc.
6 pm – 12 am Monday – Thursday
4 pm – 1 am Friday – Saturday
4 pm – 12 am Sunday
Meetings on the balcony, during business hours:
We get a lot of requests from groups about holding meetings/book clubs on the balcony. This is sometimes possible with advance scheduling on slower nights. Groups that enjoy it are groups that are coming to the Pub to drink our quality beer, have a small discussion and socialize. If your group can be accommodated in the small room to the right of the bar or on the actual balcony it is possible for us to hold tables for you. We can not ask the rest of the bar patrons to be quiet to accommodate a meeting nor can we turn off a sporting event or music in the main part of the bar during the your meeting/discussion. We ask that groups who want to come to the pub for this sort of event buy at least one drink per person.
We dance when there is no music. We drink at funerals. We talk too much, and live too large and, frankly, we’re suspicious of those who don’t.

Mardi Gras 2012
[sct date="02/04/2012" align="none" size="1"]
The Avenue Pub’s balcony is THE place to parade watch during Mardi Gras! With room for 50 of your soon-to-be closest friends (seating for 25) and a clear view over St. Charles Avenue, Mardi Gras parades on the balcony are quick to book!
We list a tentative schedule based on traditional parade routes and dates – most Krewes parade on the same day year after year, so it’s a pretty solid schedule. If the date you want shows booked you probably can’t have it (that means someone has paid a deposit already). If it shows “booked, pending deposit” that means a repeat customer has told me they want it, but hasn’t gotten a deposit to me yet. You may still have a chance if you act quickly!
Renting the balcony means you get the entire upstairs bar with a bartender and your own bathroom. Great to have your own bathroom during a parade!
