Avignone's

They just put in brand new pool tables!

Love love this bar ! Yes it is a cash only dive bar, but that's my favorite part. It's simple. Not over crowded, annoyingly trendy, or full of people trying to impress you. This is the kind of place you can wear heels or a sweatshirt and fit right in. My friends call it Cheers.."where everybody knows your name " Its an old neighborhood bar in the heart of Montrose. The locals are friendly and its easy to feel right at home. The bartenders are personable and pour a stiff drink for a good price. Kim is the very best!! We love the new juke box, pool tables, darts and huge round booths. Dollar bills cover the ceiling over the bar with all different messages written on them and the girls bathroom usually turns into our photo booth at the end of the night. The bar itself has a genuinely laid back casual atmosphere. There's always someone friendly to talk to at the bar if your bored and no one bothers you when you want to drink alone. I have celebrated mine and all my friends birthdays here for the last 4 years, as well as our thursday and Friday nights. It's my go-to for a fun carefree night.

Where everybody knows you. Joe the owner hires tough women for bartenders and some of them sound like Marge's sisters. They'll throw out a guy if he looks likes he's bothering a female patron. Joe wanted a bar where his mother would feel safe coming to alone. I worked on a film set at the bar and they are terrific to work with. I don't drink so I can't speak to that but I wouldn't mind stopping in for a tomato juice.
