The editorial take
Avenue Kitchen & Bar runs an extensive cocktail menu with named craft drinks like the Smokey Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and French 75 Boogie, plus margaritas, mules, crushes, and sangria. Prices run $14–$21, and a 'Surprise Me' option lets the bartender choose. Wine and beer are available via a daily list from your server, and party bar packages cover house wine, selected beers, and call or top-shelf liquor. A recent customer account found several cocktails disappointing, including a lemon drop that tasted like lime and a weak vodka soda.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Smokey Old Fashioned ($21) or the Bee's Knees ($16), a gin drink with pomegranate, lemon, honey, and rosemary. The Avenue Mojito ($16) and French 75 Boogie ($18) are also on the menu. If you want the bartender to decide, try the 'Surprise Me' option.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups booking party bar packages, fans of flavored margaritas and rum drinks like the Pirate Booty, and anyone who prefers a bartender's choice pour over a fixed list.
- When should I go?
- For a planned party with a bar package, or an evening when you want a cocktail from the named list. The 'Surprise Me' option suits a spontaneous order.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Craft cocktails $14–$21; margaritas $14 plus $1 for flavors. Party bar packages run $35–$75 per guest for two-hour limits, including house wine and selected beers.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list goes beyond standards with drinks like the Pirate Booty (Appleton rum, pineapple, mango, house sour, blue curaçao) and a 'Surprise Me' bartender's choice priced at the bartender's discretion.
