    Friendly staff. The eating area is very spacious and the prices are very reasonable. Also, Governor Quinn was there eating.

    The kids’ menu features mac and cheese, chicken strips and hot dogs and a side (choose the barbecue-rubbed sweet potato). Kids ages 12 and under, two per adult meal, chow down free every Wednesday. Read more

    Hordes of sports fans fill the cavernous indoor space to watch the game on several jumbo screens, drooling over the heaping burger-and-fries platters, generously cut steaks and big salads. Read more

    This was the venue for a Thursday after-work sex-positive people's munch. That's where my check-ins were accumulated (& why I forgot about it until now).

    Fantastic and descriptive beer list in the red book except it doesn't tell you the size or price of the bottle.

    I've been coming here for a decade and I'm finally done giving Avenue Ale House chances. Beers on tap taste stale. Burgers are always overcooked. Everything tastes like refrigerator. Service is poor.

    Excellent beer menu. Completely average food. Mediocre-to-unsatisfying service. Uppity patrons. Go to Kinderhook at the other end of the block for better atmosphere.
