Avenue Pub - Northbank 1491 Northbank Parkway, Tuscaloosa, AL 35406

"I would recommend this place to have a meal with your friends. I liked how un-salty my food was. Atmosphere is also good."

"We had the chicken bites, Parmesan chicken, and a salad. It was fabulous as usual and Diego really took great care of us! Love the atmosphere at the new North Bank location!"

"Had a group of five out on the patio this evening. Arrived early in the evening and found a spot around a fire pit. We were all excited to get a fire pit spot because while the day hit 70 degrees today, the temps were dropping and the evening was cool. But just after our arrival the staff realized the fire pit was out of propane but they didn’t replace. No one from management came out to say “sorry” or “hey can we get you all settled somewhere else.” Being out of propane is a huge miss and something that should be checked daily if the fire pits are in working order. And now to the drinks — three folks ordered cocktails and two ordered beers: two lemon drops and a salted dog, and a couple of draft beers. Beers good. Cocktails meh. Granted they were only $5 for their Tito’s special but again unimpressed. Food was okay as well. Two folks got the hamburger sliders and liked those but the fries were lackluster as if they’ve sitting under a warming lamp for a long time (one person has had their fries before and had bad fries then too). Two folks had fish and chips. Nice amount of fish and chips but again lackluster fries and the fried fish was oily and lacked some oomph of flavor. This was definitely not worth the price for the fish and chips. Fifth person had a chicken sandwich with a side of beans and rice. The sandwich they liked. But the beans and rice came out looking dry. Again like it had been sitting under the warming lamp. I would say the food server was great. Thanks Lilly. She was truly the only positive. Overall, I’d not return to Avenue Pub which was honestly a huge bummer to have to say. Great location, cool looking place with great visual appeal. But the execution of the details from the fire pit, food and drinks just missed it completely."

"The food is great just like the downtown location. It has not been open long, but get ready to wait. We arrived at 11:09 AM for lunch at it was a 20 minute wait. There were a lot of empty tables, so I take it the wait was due to a lack of staff. The servers are still learning and the kitchen crew is slow as our total time at our table was barely under one hour, so start to finish lunch took just under one hour and 20 minutes. The atmosphere needs more character. For a restaurant in a neighborhood location they missed the mark by not making it a family friendly restaurant. The majority of the seating is for the two bars, or outside. The main dining area is minimal by comparison to the space allocated to the bars. There is not a kid’s menu, but if you ask, they have a grilled cheese or they will make the chicken tenders without the beer batter. Huge miss. I gave it 3 stars because the food is great, but they have a lot to fix, and I really hope they realize they are in a neighborhood area with lots of families that would like to dine there. I don’t know how they add more seating that is not in the bar, but they can at least add a kid’s menu. I hope they figure it out soon."
