Our Guestbook
“ Enjoyed a nice afternoon at Avondale Common House. I didn't realize the green space was so big. The free jazz show was very nice. The drinks and food were delicious. We had sweet potato tots, fried green tomatoes, and pimento cheese. The space was clean and welcoming. The staff came around to clear the empty plates periodically. If the weather is nice, I'll be back next 3rd Sunday. ”
“ Working in Birmingham, AL for the week and it's dinnertime! So I did some Yelp'ing with my co-worker and he was craving a burger. I found this place, we came and here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set a little outside of downtown in a more urban, industrial-like area in this gem. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and we were able to find some street parking nearby. The Avondale Common House was smooth, welcoming and chill. I remember seeing the lights hanging on the roof and thinking, "yeah, I'm gonna like it here". Once inside it felt like an upscale neighborhood bar if that makes any sense. Lol. There were tons of stickers on the host stand and random license plates above it which gave it a more personal touch, like customers have come and left their mark. However, the bar looked modern, the tables are all wood with one-piece metal chairs and the ceiling had this super-cool wavy look to it! I had never seen anything like it before. Service: Riley took excellent care of us and I had no complaints. Food: I started off with the Berns Blackberry beer and it was delicious. It hardly tasted anything like beer. It had a fruity-sweetness to it and was moderately heavy. For dinner I went with their Common Burger. It contains 2 well-done smashburger patties topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, garlic aioli and a American cheese on a brioche bun. I added bacon and at the time, was able to substitute chihuahua cheese instead of the American. This was such a clutch sub because the Chihuahua cheese is creamy, with some great hints of acid flavor and it was super melty. The burger as a whole was delightful and quite flavorful. Value: Back then this burger was $13.00 and $1.50 to add bacon. That same burger now goes for $16.00 and it's still $1.50 for the bacon. Damn that inflation. SMH. But anyway, this place won't break the bank. It's a chill spot where it can be date night, gathering with friends or whatever. In conclusion, I really liked this place and I would totally pay them another visit if I'm in the area. You should check them out too! ”
“ This is one of my fav lunch spots! The loaded wedge and fried wings are my fav combo, but the brussle sprouts are a strong contender. Their cocktails are also pretty tasty. The bartenders cab typically run down the ingredients and help you pick something fun. It's really spacious so I love grabbing a seat outside and they even have covering for chilly days . I always leave full, satisfied, and ready to plan my next visit. ”
