by Justin S. on I checked this place out yesterday after "discovering" it the other day. I parked my car on Catalina off Colorado to go to the cheapie movie theater, and when I stepped out of my car I saw a small sign outside of a sketchy alley advertising pastrami dip sandwiches and a vast microbrew selection. "What the fuck?" I thought. The bar couldn't possibly be more inconspicuous. It seemed like I was being lured into some kind of back alley s&m dungeon that served great beer and sandwiches. After looking it up and discovering that it was thankfully fine, I gathered my bros and we ventured out there to see what we could see. We found the back alley and, walking past two giant dumpsters, found the entrance to T. Boyle's. We went inside and were shocked to discover a giant barn-like hang-out space, like we'd somehow entered a portal that took us from lame Pasadena to an awesome college town. We were instant fans. The brews were great, as was the nosh and the all-you-can-eat-and-throw-on-the-floor peanuts. The free pool, darts and shuffleboard were a big plus too. The bartenders were as nice and helpful as can be. It doesn't get 5 stars because as I said the place is pretty barnlike. It's kind of lacking in ambiance, if that's your thing. Also some small details were off- the pickled eggs were barely pickled at all (they tasted like hardboiled eggs that had just been put in pickling juice at the last minute right before served), and the actual darts themselves were the cheapie kind you can't really aim well. But whatever, I'm being overly demanding I think. This place reminded me of the kind of fun, unpretentious college bars you can't really find in L.A. I loved it and will definitely be back. Party on!
by Claire O. on So being European, I am *very* picky about clubs... (You might ask why, given that, I'm living in Boston... but that's a whole other story). Anyways, went to Avenue on Saturday night. My friend had a table and we had about a 10:1 girl:guy ratio, so we avoided all teh door hassle described in other reviews but which I have no doubt exists, given it still took us about 15 minutes to get in. When we entered I was struck by how small the space is... I guess this is typical for NY clubs, but I'm used toe the Europe mega clubs so it really struck me. There are 2 floors: top floor (where we were sitting and which is apparently less "cool", oh well) is more loungy, the bottom is more clubby. Loved the decor and atmosphere and the way they've used the space: it's almost boudoir-esque with a hint of decadence. We had a great night: the service was good, the drinks were obviously extortionate, but that's just to be expected, and we managed to get in a lot of dancing. Points to Avenue for not making me get down when I stood on the sofa and started dancing... Also, I loved teh handy coat storage area at teh back of the tables - when I want to go, I want to go and not get stuck in a giant coat check line. 2 big complaints though: 1) The DJ and sound system was awful. The bass was just too high and being near the speakers was really unpleasant, and it made the sound quality really bad. The mixing was average to poor for what I'd expect from this caliber of club and the music was a little too top 40 mixed with weird random songs from the 60s (which, hey, I'm cool with something different but it just didn't work in this environment). 2) The bathroom set-up was kind of annoying and weird... you had to wait for an individual room and they were unisex. The line was heavily policed by a bouncer (which I guess at least means they keep them clean). But it made the wait long, seemed unnecessary given the space restrictions and meant it was difficult to chat with your frrends while you re-did lipstick etc (allthough that was tricky given there was NO light) unless you watched each other pee- which is just not my scene. So overall, we had a good night, but there could be some improvement, particularly on the DJing front.
