by Dana D. on So my girl and i had heard about how great Avenue was and decided we are gonna check it out for my brithday, and thank god we did!!!! First off, unless you are super attractive or know someone you pretty much have no chance of getting in, unless you get lucky or its a blue moon and catch the bouncer in a good mood, and we did! ..and we almost didnt make it in, but my awesome friend worked some magic and after a little sweet talkin and name doppin (ya do what you have to do) we got in. After we were in, HOTTEST CROWD I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!! maybe we just got lucky and hit it on a great night, but it was pretty much model central... and everyone was super nice, the door people, the staff and even the patrons. no pretentious assholes, people just out to have a good time...sure drinks start at 18$ but yknow what , they were damn good! Music was fun and a good mix of everything, everyone was still dancin way past 4am. Best birthday i have had in a long time!!! cant wait to go back!!!!
by Freeman Massay on I have a hard time giving one-star reviews (especially to local businesses), but I think ESSR deserves it. After the first three times of getting super-slow service and attitude from the bartenders I decided I would never go back. I broke my promise last week when some friends met there for a birthday. The following exchange with the bartender makes me mad even a week later. Us: Two vodka tonics and an Abt 12, please. Bartender: Sure you wouldn't rather have gin and tonic? Us: Uh, no, a vodka tonic is fine. Bartender: It's kind of my personal mission to ban vodka. I mean, if you want me to go to the back I think I can dust off a bottle of vodka for you. Us: OK, please do. (Even though they have a list of vodkas on the menu?) Bartender: (Smiling) I mean, I just like to give people shit when they order vodka because it's so terrible. Us: (Playing along.) We'll take your shit, but can I please just have vodka tonic? We finally get our drinks and step out onto the patio. Have a sip. It's gin. Unbelievable. Basically the message is that we don't know what we want to drink and he's going to force his decision on us if we don't order to his liking. Honestly, if the guy had suggested one of their signature drinks (even one with gin) we would have probably been drinking them for the rest of the night. As it was I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Like every other reviewer on here I think the decor and the concept are incredible. I don't understand why the owners don't make hospitality even the smallest priority. Do not reward ESSR's bad behavior--which is apparently condoned by the owners--with your time or money.
