Gay rum, fresh pineapple, and Snowville Creamery crème fraiche); Manhattan (Watershed bourbon, Dolin Rouge Vermouth, Nocino, and orange bitters). 

The Avenue encompasses a 4,830-square foot space and will accommodate 100 guests in the dining room, 35 in the bar area, and 24 on the patio. The Avenue also features a semi-private dining area with seating for up to six people. Although not open for lunch, the dining area is available for reserved luncheons for up to 100 guests between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at The Avenue.
