The Avenue: An Irish Pub on Katonah Avenue in Woodlawn
The Avenue sits on Katonah Avenue, the spine of Woodlawn and one of the most Irish stretches in the city. Billed as the oldest bar on Katonah reborn as its newest after a recent reset, it is a straightforward drinks-only neighborhood pub with a pool table and a local crowd.
Like most pubs along Katonah and nearby McLean Avenue, it trades on cold pints, familiar faces, and a long day that stretches from late morning into the small hours. It is the kind of room where the deal depends on the day and the bartender rather than a printed happy hour menu.
What to Expect
The Avenue does not publish a formal happy hour. As is typical for Woodlawn’s Irish pubs, any specials run informally, day to day, so the best value tends to turn up on weekday afternoons and early evenings. Ask the bartender when you sit down.
The Room
A classic Woodlawn Irish pub: a long bar, a pool table, and an easygoing neighborhood crowd.
