Avenue Pub is open

When you get to be an old fart who has had a hearing impairment for some years you will know where he is coming from.  

Try it sometime.

From age 50, most of us have/will experience hearing loss. If it is you, it will increase as the years roll on.

The environment we are in, can exacerbate the problem. Hard surfaces increase noise pollution. Soft surfaces absorb sound and lesson the distortion that a person hears. (Cassidy's was terrible for sound.") AND being in such an environment damages your hearing for as long as you are exposed to it. 

O.S.H.A. rule of guidance: "If you need to raise your voice to be heard, you need hearing protection."

For the last 20 years, restaurant decor has gone from "homey"  to "industrial."  I don't know why anyone thinks that is attractive to customers--- but anyway, it has the effect of making the restaurant experience less enjoyable for many of us. So we don't go. 

But, If a place works for you, go for it.

The #1 reason I did not like going to Cassidy's was the noise level. I couldn't hear people in my group.

The Avenue Pub isn't loud!   It's nothing like Cassidy's or Coda.  You can easily have a conversation with others at the bar or a table. I am super sensitive to loud.  I avoid all loud places.  I will never go to a live concert.   The Avenue Pub does not have that problem.

I agree. The Avenue Pub is not loud. I had lunch there and it was a pleasant atmosphere.

I consider Jeff to be an expert in this area. Case closed. 

Went this afternoon- nice place - not loud - but wasn’t too crowded.  Chicken parm sandwich was good!  Service was great!

That does look tasty.  

Never really seems too crowded and parking is inadequate...
