" Last night was epic! I brought a few friends, and we had a great time. The Avenue is just fun, everything from games to the music to the crowd was on point! I didn't eat much but tried the vegan ramen which was surprisingly good. Can't wait for the next outing, this will definitely be our regular hangout spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Avenue during a karaoke night and really enjoyed myself! The food was decent, I had the miso ramen, which could use a little more seasoning, but it was overall good. The fun, laid-back atmosphere and welcoming staff made up for any minor flaws. I’ll definitely be back to sing my heart out and try more food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This bar thrives on its community spirit. The Avenue isn't just about the food and drinks, although those are great too! The events create a welcoming atmosphere.

" I visited The Avenue on a quieter night which made for a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was chill, and I loved being able to hear the music without it being overwhelming. I ordered their fried chicken rice bowl which was quite good, though the portion was a bit on the smaller side. Overall, it's a great spot to unwind after work. " (*Curated Review*)
