Reviews For The Ave Sports Bar

Nice place. Know for years as the 'Av' until refurbished and rebranded by the lLT as the Brewers Elbow. Cobb and Co restaraunt is in the same building. Good atmosphere and caters to all tastes. Good bar menu and nice sheltered outdoor area for warm days and nights. Usually has some of the best bar staff in town too. Even allowing for regular turn over off staff. Well worth a visit.

Ordered chicken parmy and vege burger. Both are good! Portion size is pretty biiiiig with a decent price. What I like is how they coat the crumbs, sometimes other place would overcrumbed it and makes it so big, but this one is just the right thickness and the chicken itself is pretty big too. Would recommend it.
