On the Grid : Avondale Common House & Distillery

"Offering creative takes on classic pub-grub as well as small-batch, house-crafted spirits and beer, Common House’s warm, rustic space with laid-back vibes is the perfect place to lunch with work compadres, fuel up before a show at Saturn, have a family night out with the kiddos (or a date night without them), or grab a beer and chill. From apps (Sticky Bourbon Maple Wings, Loaded Totchos, Fried Green Tomatoes) to bowls and salads (Salmon Poké Bowl, Grilled Peach Arugula Salad) to sandwiches (Chimichurri Steak Sandwich, Common Burger) to entrées (Slow-braised Beef Cheeks, Shrimp and Grits), the menu is as wonderfully varied as it is scrumptious. There’s also vegan-friendly options (Jackfruit Carnitas Bowl, Buffalo Cauliflower Po’boy) every bit as inventive as anything else on the menu. Even the shareable desserts (S’mores Pot de Crème anyone?) are vegan-friendly. They also do a Sunday Brunch with live music, and a Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar." - Lewis Communications
