The Avenue Bar & Grill

Come on down

  • Brunch
  • Pool Table
  • Nightly Drink Specials

Avenue is located in the Heart of Allston. Located on 1249 Commonwealth Avenue by Harvard street along the T- tracks it is very easy to find. The Avenue Bar is a Sister bar to Roggie's and has the same eclectic menu. Good music, food and sports are the theme at the Avenue.

Come and watch you favorite sports team on one of their 40 TV's'. Flat screens , 100' projection TV and a wall of TV's dont let you miss any action. Along with the $1.00 drafts and 25 cents wings how can you go wrong. Always a buzz as this neighborhood sports bar can transform into a party hangout as the weekends have resident DJ's spinning your choice. Golden T 2005 , Fusball, touch video games are just the beginning as promotions are always around with give aways and prizes.

So come down and enjoy a 64 oz Avenue Bowl or try our 25 oz $2.00 Bud Light Big Daddy beer.

Editorial Review for The Avenue Bar & Grill – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
The Avenue's cheap drinks and laid-back vibe make it a favorite with the area's huge barely-21 crowd. Many patrons choose to come as they are--think jeans, sneakers and baseball caps. With Allston's most popular bars within walking distance, the Avenue serves as a great, inexpensive place to meet up with friends before heading out to a final destination.

The Draw
Variety is the name of the game here, as the fully stocked bar (over two-dozen beers on tap) and endless multi-ethnic food menu will attest. Testosterone-friendly amenities include a basement game room (pinball, video games, pool table) and several flat-screen TVs blaring different sporting events from around the country. Besides average bar food, the menu sports pages and pages of Mexican, Italian, and Asian dishes available for lunch and dinner. A house DJ gets the place jumping on the weekends.

Great place to go but you've to get there really early because the bar doens't have many chairs and tables. The waitresses are always friendly even during the rush hours but to me The Avenue it's just a cool place for college students to drink couple beers before they go somewhere else.

Pros: Cheap draft

Cons: No seats, crowded

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I've been to the ave. several times when I'm in Boston visiting friends. The beer is good, prices are great but - the crowd is a little young. I'm sure i'll go back.

Pros: walking distance to the T

Cons: young immature crowd
