It was, and is a bar. We went there after a funeral to get some food as a wake. The food was really good, lots of options, hot and fresh. The bartender's were so kind and ready to serve. Played some pool as well. Try it out.

Probably the best wings I've ever encountered was granted upon me at The Avenue Tavern & Grille. Fun atmosphere, friendly people, pool tables; they even have a small arcade basketball in that joint... Can't wait to go back to Karaoke nights. One of the drinks forced me on stage and I found myself sanging!

The Avenue is a cool bar with friendly people. Sometimes I go there during the week and chill out with the other customers. They quit serving food pretty early and that was disappointing. I would recommend The Avenue to friends.
