Take a typical Brooklyn dive bar (the real deal, not the cool ironic kind), add a barbecue menu, and you get 6th Avenue’s Bar BQ. There’s Abita beer for those of you drawn to this New Orleans export, but just remember that the pulled pork sauce in bottles is there for a reason! I ate my entire sandwich, finding it not flavorful enough, before I realized it’s up to you to sauce it! Doh.

Also, this is one of the few restaurants/bars where I have dined alone (I hate to!) and I have to say that I enjoyed it. I sat at the bar, to avoid awkwardly taking up an entire table, and had a nice chat with the bartender about their upcoming demos at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Chile Pepper Festival.
