Description

After more than 50 years, this Avondale institution remains a no-frills neighborhood haunt, even as it pivots to a new chapter under fresh management. The space has undergone a series of updates, though these were handled with input from long-time regulars to ensure the tavern’s character stayed intact. The atmosphere is consistently lively, anchored by the sight of nine TVs and the steady output of a kitchen best known for its classic meatloaf tradition and rotating seasonal pop-ups.
