About This Place

Located in the heart of Glendale, NY, The Avenue Restaurant & Bar stands out as a vibrant culinary destination that expertly blends classic American flavors with unique Lithuanian twists. This multifaceted restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere that seamlessly caters to casual brunch gatherings, lively sports nights, and indulgent steakhouse dinners.

Step inside The Avenue, and you’re greeted by a warm, bustling space where the aroma of perfectly grilled prime ribs mingles with the tangy zest of their signature pulled pork sandwich, layered with garlic aioli and pickled red onions. The menu is a testament to comfort food excellence: whether you’re craving juicy 1 lb and 2 lb burgers meticulously built from fresh ground beef, crispy chicken wings paired with sweet potato fries, or tender skirt steak cooked to your preference, every dish bursts with flavor and heartiness.

Brunch here is truly a treat, featuring crowd favorites like the coveted eggs Benedict—hailed by regulars as the best they’ve ever tasted—and The Brunch Wrap, all complemented by bottomless mimosas that keep the mood light and celebratory. For those intrigued by global fare, the monthly Lithuanian brunch is a rare and authentic delight, showcasing dishes that are as visually appealing as they are rich in flavor, drawing diners from across the neighborhood who appreciate both the novelty and the quality.

Drink lovers will find their sanctuary at The Avenue, with a curated selection of beers and expertly crafted martinis that perfectly balance the bold, savory qualities on the plate. The Brooklyn Cupcake and indulgent desserts like chocolate brownie fondue and creamy ice creams offer a sweet finish that leaves a lasting impression.

The ambience is enhanced by friendly, attentive staff and the option for outdoor seating, making The Avenue a versatile spot for everything from relaxed weekday meals to lively weekend celebrations. Whether you’re settling in to watch the big game with a platter of wings and a cold beer or looking to savor prime ribs on a Thursday night, The Avenue delivers consistent quality in a welcoming, energetic setting.

True to its community roots, customer feedback reflects a deep appreciation for both the food and the experience. Frequent visitors delight in the juicy, perfectly cooked wings and expertly assembled burgers, though some long-time patrons have voiced wistful nostalgia for the now-discontinued pretzel buns, which they felt elevated the burger to perfection. Nevertheless, the overall consensus praises The Avenue as a dependable neighborhood gem where great food and warm hospitality come together.

For those seeking a vibrant mix of American classics with a dash of cultural charm, The Avenue Restaurant & Bar remains a must-visit destination on Myrtle Avenue, Glendale.

    Love coming here. I would have gone 5 stars except they ruined the bacon and blue burger by getting rid of the pretzel bun. The new bun tastes like nothing and changes flavor of the burger. It’s just not as good. Such a shame to have ruined perfection.

    A good spot to get some wings and burgers and watch the game, on Super Bowl night I come here to get some wings for the guests. Their food is amazing

    2/2 The real reason I’m happy to drive to Glendale on a Sunday is the Lithuanian brunch. I think they offer the brunch just once a month though. I get notifications on Facebook and tend to go if I see a notification on a Sunday when I don’t already have plans. I can’t pronounce the dishes but the menu has pictures and it’s easy to figure out. We tend to order too much for the specific purpose of taking home a variety of leftovers. 1/2 A great neighborhood bar. Cool regulars and nice staff. Standard offering at the bar and thankfully the bottles are ice cold. The menu is what you would expect and doesn’t disappoint.

    It's just a great neighborhood burger and beer joint. Solid lunch specials and the servers/bartenders are always friendly. They even have stand up nights and bingo parties which are a blast; the republican rallies not so much kinda wish they'd keep it neutral as we really dont need politics with our beers.

    We are always satisfied with our experience at the Avenue. Food is very good & we were pleased that you restored the broccoli, bacon, cheese bites to the menu. It’s not on the menu but us locals know to ask for it. One request, please have Drambui in the bar so that they can make a Rusty Nailer

    I have been ordering for delivery from this local restaurant for a little while now and definitely need to make a visit. The burgers are delicious and even with delivery- I love the sweet potato fries (which are not usually my go to). Their sauces and accompaniments are always tasty and fresh. They do offer live entertainment....
