When J’Anita’s, a funky barbecue joint on Magazine Street, couldn’t make ends meet, the Avenue Pub invited them to take over its kitchen. J’Anita’s creative cooks now turn out offbeat bar food, like a redfish sandwich or a Cabernet marinated burger, that pairs perfectly with the Avenue Pub’s wide selection of American craft beers. For simple pub grub, this is an ideal place to eat in New Orleans.
