      We dropped in for a few drinks. We ordered a few appetizers to hold us over for diner. You're standard sports bar food and beverages. I'd come back again!

      If you're looking to catch a game, this place is decked out with about ten tv's around the room. Though some of the tv's were playing the same game. The place is pretty small but they do have a full bar, beer on tap and pub food.

      The place was only half full when I went and they only had one server. Service was pretty slow, even for just bringing out our drinks. Had low expectations on the food and it was just ok.

      Honestly the best place to hang out with coworkers or friends, good vibes always with good music and outstanding food and service. Additionally, I'd like to thank Gerarrardo, for his courtesy and exceptional bartending skills; As well as for multitasking as waiter service during busy hours while still assisting our refills.

      Been here a couple times now.
      Great food. One waitress in partcular not very good at muti tasting and seems overwhelmed all the time too the point that she came off rude. May go back someday when the young black haired girl isn't working.

      Food is below average, service is ok, but they put the sound on the TVs during games so it's a solid place to watch some sports.

      This place is awesome! Newly staffed and always has sports on EVERY TV (there's like a dozen of them)! Love all the sports memorabilia all over the walls-covered from ceiling to floor but not cluttered or over done. They also have bulletin boards where people can post local current happenings and customers can see events in the area they might want to attend at a later date. Plus they have a great menu-try the burgers! Or you can also order off the Amici's menu and have it served right at your seat!! 18 draft beers-quite the selection! They even have a variety of non alcoholic beers. Something for everyone! Def worth a try, especially to catch a game!!

      Heard some cheers in the afternoon so checked it out. Plenty of tvs to watch sports. The bar tender was super nice and friendly. Didn't get any food but drinks were normal priced. I would come again to watch a game.

      3rd Avenue Sports Bar & Grill is decked out with colorful paraphernalia and multiple large TV screens running sports programming, and its menu offered a simple selection of American eats and bar food. Perhaps I simply had low expectations for the food at a place like this, but I was pleasantly surprised by how decently some of the plates turned out! I started with the Carnitas Tacos, which were two sets of double tortillas topped with crispy shredded carnitas, garnished with chopped onion and cilantro, and served with lime wedges and salsa on the side. The carnitas were perfectly crispy though a bit dry, and the salsa, onion, cilantro, and lime added just the right acidity to bring out the flavors. I also tried the Club Sandwich, made on toasted white bread containing a filling of turkey, ham, crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato. This classic deli meat sandwich came with a fresh side salad of mixed greens topped with red and green bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and pickle slices, along with dressing on the side. Overall, the casual atmosphere at this sports bar was quiet yet enjoyable (though I'm sure it gets more rowdy on a game day). The prices were also reasonable, though the service could definitely have been more on point.

      This place is pretty hit or miss.

      COVID warning: this isn't the safest place I've ever been. The bartender / server wears a bandana around his face rather than a mask, and the surfaces don't seem super clean, but I know everyone's trying their hardest right now.

      Some things here are really tasty, surprisingly so for a dingy sports bar - I recommend the sliders, the burger, the fries. I can't remember if the wings were good or not. I don't recommend the BLT, it was really dry and just... not good.

      I'll probably come back to watch a game or something once outdoor dining opens back up.

      I been sitting here over an hour I order some nachos and sliders, not one other person out of the 15 inside ordered food. So I'm expecting it to be pretty quick. But clearly don't come here if your hungry. Might be cool to grab a drink and watch the game but not for food. How long does it take to put hot cheese on top of tortilla chips? Mannnnn I'm bout to walk out they got 5 min. Now the sliders came out before the nachos haha. This place is a disaster at all costs.
      Question to the owner why get into a business if you can't run it right?
