This place is trash. Heard the male bartender with the pony tail talking about how their customers piss him off. Kept yelling about how stupid customers are for calling asking about reservations. The dude passionate as hell about yelling at me for not wearing a mask after being walked to my table( he saw me walking down the street in my mask, and in the "lobby", but took it off as we walked to table) seems to be completely uneducated about the fact that a lot of bars, restaurants and even retail spots are doing reservation seating only. Tip: if you don't like Nickelback video vibes & corny people, avoid this place. read more

The service was quick and the food was exactly as promised. Unfortunately we ordered to go which caused the food to get soggy. Otherwise would try again. read more

The Avenue is a great little place. Cheap burgers, good cocktails, reasonably priced beers, and yummy appetizers. Service leaves something to be desired ...but I think a lot of times the servers may be assigned to too many tables, so it's definitely not their fault. I LOVE their soft pretzels... like I crave them at very random times and every time I have a hankering for carbs the soft pretzels are exactly what I want. I usually am a total fanatic for cheese sauce, but the mustard dipping sauce is so good I wish I could bottle it. Everything else is good too, but the soft pretzels and cheeseburgers are what keep me coming back. read more

Only kitchen in the area open this late! The food is good and always comes out fast. They have a few vegan/vegetarian options as well. Tap list is solid as well. This is a neighborhood bar that never gets too crowded but is never dull. read more

For wing night, this is great stop for 50 cent wings. With a few flavors to choose from, you can order by the piece to fill your tray on Tuesdays. Don't forget the sweet potato tater tots to go along with the wings. They have the best! With the tots and wings.. This dive bar has a decent collection of rotating local craft beer. read more

The Avenue - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Quite literally a hidden gem. The Avenue looks like a hole in the wall if you pass it on the sidewalk. In fact it looks like a dilapidated diner, more than it does a bar, but it's going through a facelift right now (STILL OPEN THOUGH!). Cheap bites and affordable drinks. My friend and I grabbed dinner and 2-3 drinks apiece for only $25. Service is great and the interior does not match the exterior. Really clean, surprisingly spacious, tables a plenty and a nice bar too. The food is actually really good too. Highly recommend wings and tacos. If you're a fan of sweet potatoes, they have delicious crispy sweet potato tots with maple bacon ketchup! I come here for quick bites, cheap pregame, or a low key night (which due to the affordability of drinks can actually end up a bit rowdy...oops!). Glad to have found this Allston gem right now the street from where I live. read more

The employees are awesome! Extremely accommodating and even with a mask o can tell they have a smile behind there. I know that I have dietary restrictions but I had the breakfast burger and the fried egg was wayyyyy overcooked. Other than that all great!!! Thank you read more

Not a bad spot for a beer or quick lunch or dinner. We had tried their burgers a Taste of Allston, and even though I'm not typically a burger fan, I was impressed. The prices are reasonable, and they have lots of unique options for their burgers. I had the bird's nest, which had fried onions, a fried egg, cheese and their special sauce, in addition to a perfectly cooked patty! They also offer additional condiments like sriracha! Definitely a no frills kind of place, but a great option if you're looking for a sports bar with good food. Also- in terms of accessibility- it IS accessible but the ramp is a tight turn right inside the door and very steep. My scooter had some challenges but we made it work. The low tables are in a separate area, sort of like a patio, but there is plenty of heat, and still TV's, but you sort of miss out on the "bar" experience. We weren't able to see what was on tap, etc. But the staff was very accommodating and I sort of liked the quieter private area. Definitely an unexpected gem in Allston! read more

The Avenue - The birds next with sea salt fries and shocktop! - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The Avenue is probably the best bar in Allston, cheap food, fun vibe, Allston scene. Before the shutdown this was the place for a burger and a beer. Best beer selection, and really a great burger. The patio for the summer was a great addition, and I love the staff they are fun. I go twice a week for dinner or takeout. Problem: Ijust feel the hairy guy in a tank top serving me food with his chest hair exposed is just too much. It's a 5 star but my last three times this has been overwhelmingly disgusting. He leans over the table with his chest in my face serving food to everyone. Other then this piece of professionalism the place is great. But maybe Allston just is grunge 2.0. Maybe with winter here he will cover up. It's 2020, dress like it. read more

Avenue literally never disappoints. I often go with my friends after 10PM for there $2 burger deal for a well deserved study break. They have the deal all day on Mondays, I believe, but we usually haven't studied enough to need a break until Thursdays LOL. The times I've been, they were busy but not so much so that we couldn't get a table for the 4-5 of us. There's plenty of room on the front floor and in the back hall for people to sit at a table and there are standing tables across from the bar area. Environment & Accessibility; the entrance is a paved path off the main sidewalk leading up to a vestibule made up of heavier glass doors with one step (3-5 inches) to get into the restaurant after the second door. Not sure if there's a ramp. The vibe is pretty casual, it can get kind of loud. I like to sit in the back section, it's just a little more private and easier to hear my friends when we're chatting. The TV is also nice and close to see. Service; everyone's usually very nice! I've never had an issue with a server. They remember who we are sometimes and bring me lots of ketchup, hehe. Food comes fast and they'll check up on you consistently. Bill has to be paid by one person, we just Venmo each other afterwards. Food; the burger is super delicious. Meat is the right ratio of juicy with a hint of crunch from the grill and seasoned well, buns are fluffy, lettuce, tomato and pickles are good I usually add ketchup because I'm an addict but definitely worth the $2.00. You can add cheese ($1) or an egg ($1) or bacon ($1), I usually get mine as is and it's still super delicious. In order to get the deal, you need to buy a drink. They have your regular assortment of pop & a very extensive list of beers, cocktails, ciders, etc. I don't drink alcohol very much so I usually get a ginger beer ($4) which kind of tastes like ginger tea! The wings are okay, I didn't like the sauce we got but I might try it again another time... maybe. The waffle fries are the BOMB!!! So crispy and crunchy, it's worth the $3.50. They also have sea sated fries which were okay, and I've tried the sweet potato tots too which were also good - neither of them compare to the waffle fries, though. Maybe that's just my crunchy fries bias. Overall: Loved it! Will go back over and over again! read more

Meg the bartender, awesome service, funny, and kind of an all around bad ass Definitely makes you feel like you at home with your derelict family Grab a drink and feel the love flow read more

This place is a whole in the wall, my friends. This place has a great selection of beers and they have a lot of specials depending on the day! Pro tip, everyday after 10PM, burgers are $2 (for just the patty and bun and lettuce) and anything else you want to add (egg, cheese, bacon, etc.) are $1 - $2 additional which is NOT bad. Mondays all DAY burgers are $2. Tuesdays are $0.50 wings, however in order to get the deal you need to order a beer or cider. Still a deal in my opinion. In terms of flavors, they have Thai Chili, Honey Mustard, Garlic Parmesan, and Teriyaki. My 2 favorites are Thai Chili and Garlic Parm. The wings are hearty! And sides are always $2 - $3. They have pasta salad, fries, waffle fries, and sweet potato tater tots. Oh and this place is open until 2AM, everyday. This place is legitimately down the block from my restaurant and I'm so happy to live where I do. Definitely check this place out if you're around! read more

The Avenue - Trailer Park Taco, Crispy Cod Taco - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I used to live near here for over a decade and I recall when the current owner bought it. He made lots of upgrades, but did so a little bit at a time over a fairly long period of time. I never was a "regular" here, probably coming in 3-4 x a year the years I lived here. But I always liked the burgers which are basic, greasy but very tasty. A recent return trip had them still serving a very good burger. There also seems to be even more upgrades made and the place is looking good. As someone who remembers the place pre-Avenue I can tell you it was trash back then. It's still just a basic bar but it's clean, lots of TVs, they've made the front windows bigger to let in a bit more light (the only windows they have) and I could see it being a good place to grab a few drinks, chat with friends or watch a game if I still lived in the area. read more

They have a really good draft list here. We stopped in to grab a beer before going to the BU hockey game. It wasn't welcoming at all. The first bartender who was serving us was cold and grumpy. The second guy was a little better. read more

I came here for a quick bite on a Sunday night and ordered all the tacos they offered and the Bird's Nest Burger with sweet potato tater tots. The fish taco was the best, the rest was okay. It would have been a 4.5 star in terms of food but the service at this place was frustrating. The place wasn't too packed and it seems like they had 1 waitress and a food runner. The waitress seemed to only focus on one table with 2 men. She was there constantly and for long periods of time. The other tables were trying to pay and get going with their lives but no, we had to wait for her. The food runner said he can't do it so a bunch of tables started to look at each other and peeking at the waitress with hopes that she will catch one of us so that she can finally do her job. 15 minutes later, she finally came over because the food runner went up to her basically telling her to address all the other tables that are now ready to leave. read more

My favorite bar around here! Their tacos taste so good, I always grab a bite after a late night shift because they're open and on my way back home from work. The people working their are also very kind, especially one of the bouncers. Their sweet potato tots are also super delicious. 10/10! read more

I go here often, and I keep coming back for the turkey burger, but the service is terrible at the bar. Specifically one small male bartender who berates and degrades all the women, doesn't listen to them or take their order. I have sat at the bar while he has chatted up several men about sports... I love sports ass hole. He has short brown hair, a resting d-bag face. Watch out ladies - eat the turkey burger. read more

Solid burger and awesome fried cheese curds. A few vegetarian options, my partner had their veggie burger, it looked fairly standard. They also have gluten free buns, if that is your thing. Burgers we're $6, sides were $3. An adequate variety of beer, a decent pint costs $7. We went on a Sunday night. Atmosphere was mellow, but welcoming. We sat at the bar and made fast friends, I am not someone who usually does that. We ended up talking the night away with a few folks. Definitely will be going back. read more

The Ave is the quintessential Allston dive. With a plethora of high quality drafts, cheap yet consistently good bar food, and great service, you cannot go wrong here. Plus, they have promotions like $2 burgers and 50¢ wings! It should be mentioned that while it's a dive bar that has that grungy feel, it's really clean and well maintained unlike a lot of other dives. My favorite thing to get here are the dry ciders and the wings--specifically doing a mixed sauce with both buffalo and teriyaki. They're a little bit confusing to order. But trust me, they're amazing. If I'm looking for my dive bar fix, this is my spot, and it'll become yours too. (Pro tip: If you want more prompt and consistent service, I recommend sitting at the bar as opposed to a table, but even with the latter, they don't leave you hanging.) read more

Avenue is another Allston bar, but one that is focused more on the food than the drinks. Mondays they offer $2 avenue burgers (burger, bun, special sauce, lettuce, and tomato) - you can add toppings for an extra $1 each. They also offer this special every night after 10pm and offer 50cent wings on Tuesdays. Pretzels are great, served with a cheese sauce and a honey mustard for dipping. Comes with 4 small soft pretzels, hot out of the oven and salty. Burgers are great, I added avocado and grilled onions to mine. They do not come with sides (even the regular ones, but they're cheap). You can add a side of fries for $2 but I opt for the sweet potato tots for $3 (or the appetizer size for $5) - they are delicious. Menu is relatively small, so come for the burgers (or turkey burger, grilled chicken sandwich, veggie burger) and the tots. They also have tacos on the menu, but I see myself ordering another burger/turkey burger when I return. read more

Casual bar to grab drinks and a bite. Pretty good drink selection and really good food. Tried their fish taco's but my go to is the birds nest burger (cheese burger with onion rings and runny egg!). They have darts downstairs and plenty of tv to watch your favorite sports. Anytime I am in Allston I make it a point to stop by for the burger! read more

I ordered a carne asada taco, the turkey burger and a side of sweet potato tots for takeout. I didn't notice until after I had picked up the food and gotten home that they had forgot to pack the taco. I was too hungry to walk back, so I decided to just dig in to the rest of my order. The turkey burger was pretty good, not super huge and also not anything super amazing. The patty was a bit burnt around the outer edges. The tots could've been a bit crispier and I actually just got sick of the taste after a while, but I don't think that's necessarily because of the way they cooked it, I just don't think sweet potato is really my thing. 2 stars because I was disappointed that my taco was forgotten. read more

If you're in Allston, there isn't a better balance of hand for buck and quality of food. A gem.

Way better drunchies than Mickey D's down the street. $2 chips and guacamole, that's the price of one avocado from star market! (That's a travesty by the way coming from California) $2 for a plain burger all day Monday and after 10PM the rest of the week. Their waffle fries are bomb. We were impatient and got the full menu price burgers instead and it was still totally worth the money. Awesome neighborhood joint, I always see peeps inside even late on a weekday night. Decent tap list with decent prices. Best burgers in Allston for sure. read more

Since I live so close, I've decided that this is my new go-to place to go if I'm ever craving a good burger. The staff here are so attentive and welcoming. You seat yourself upon walking in, and someone comes to your table right away. My sister and I both got veggie burgers, plus a side of sweet tots to share. Since the tots come with bacon ketchup, the waitress thought we might have been vegetarians (we are not), and wanted to make sure that we knew that the ketchup is not vegetarian in case we were. So thoughtful! It's got plenty of seating inside, so we had absolutely no problem getting a table on a Saturday night. It's hard to tell from looking at the building from the outside, but it's a real casual, low-key place. A great place for an actual meal, or to just hang out with friends with drinks and some sides/apps. For the price, quality, and service you get here, it really doesn't get any better. read more

I have lived in Allston since 2011 and this bar has easily been my favorite bar in the area this entire time. Also, more and more Green Bay fans seem to show up each year on Sundays to watch the Packers. Would I call this bar a Packers bar? Why yes, yes I would. Would definitely check this place out if you're a Packers fan. read more

The Avenue is under new management, and that is a good thing. To all of the people who can't stop complaining about the change, allow me to retort: Oh, I'm sorry, did you enjoy the relentless stream of D-Bags that accompany 2$ beers? Perhaps you are pissed that you have lost a place where popping your collar is considered the norm. Perhaps you miss the 5 or 6 early morning drunkards that take up the bar the entire day. Or maybe you miss the filth and scum that was never cleaned in the old place. Gee, that's just too bad, I guess you will have to find another spot where it is acceptable to bath in cologne, pop a collared paisly shirt, and try and mac dude's girlfriends when the gentlemen steps out to use the restroom. The new Ave is a welcome change to the area. I, for one, do miss the cheap prices of beer of the old Ave, but are you seriously going to gripe about a 1$ change in price for Budweiser? If you are that kind of person, perhaps you should stay at home and drink PBR's. No one is going to miss you. I stopped in here today to try some of their new food items and take a look at the place. WOW, this place is actually clean now! OK, I can admit, perhaps their paint job of the bar was a bad idea, but everything else seems to be looking up. I no longer have to sit at the bar wondering if the smell coming from behind it was cleaning products that didn't work as they were intended to, or dead rats festering under sinks. I ordered a Bud, some wings, and one of their burgers with bacon and cheddar. Their beer prices are now clearly marked on a big board to eliminate the guess work for money minded folks. Guess what, Bud is 3$. That isn't bad if you are going to sip some beers while watching a game. The burger was a 4 ounce handmade patty, with thick apple wood smoked bacon, and equally thick cheddar, served on a toasted roll. The fries, which costs 1$ to add them, were crispy, and well seasoned. I think the burger and french fry combo sets you back about 5 bucks. This wasn't too bad, I felt great after finishing it, and I didn't miss the lethargic feeling that you often get after eating too much. If you go to Sunset, you have to pay to add fries to your burger too, and in the end, it ends up costing you around 9$. So stop your belly whining people! The wings were in a class of their own in my opinion. I gave the "Mind Eraser" wings a shot, being that they were supposed to be the hottest they had. Well, my mind wasn't erased, but that is perfectly acceptable. The flavor was great, a perfect amount of bite, with a cooling sweetness, and of course a great crisp. The wings were plentiful and meaty. I have no complaints there. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Well, it was 12 in the afternoon and I have yet to see what happenings go on at night. I didn't see any of the table taps that they used to have, but in reality, those were a novelty more than anything else. Our bartender was spot on, and noticed immediately when my beer needed to be refilled. This is a welcome change from the last crew that they had, where they would stand on the end of the bar talking to the trashiest drunk Allston girls all night, conveniently forgetting about the people sitting at their bar who were going to actually buy stuff and end up tipping them. So to all you nay-sayers out there, I say deal with it. Most of the people complaining are the exact type of people that I would not like to sit next to while watching a game anyway. And if your girlfriend and you cry about a change in a bar's management, perhaps you should seek therapy, that isn't normal. read more
