Not sure how anyone would give this place a less than five stars. Great unique food and great beer. Service was awesome as well.

Got to brunch on their patio around 11:30 on Sunday, and our party of 4 were seated right away. The weather was perfect so we chose patio seating. There was live music, perfect for the atmosphere imo. Two adults got cocktails which they liked and I got a Ferus Ursa, a local favorite of mine. The food came out hot and quickly, and we all enjoyed our dishes. I had chicken & waffles and it was very good, but the accompanying fried egg was overdone and unnecessary. Overall, everyone was pleased and we left full and happy. We will definitely hit ACH for brunch again.

Our first visit to the Avondale Common House was an absolute blast! Perfect venue for an intimate outdoor concert (Cake). The service was fantastic, we waited for nothing. The acoustics were excellent. Parking was cheap and very close to the event. Really couldn't ask for much better. We're looking for our next occasion to book!

I have been trying to find the right words for this visit. A few friends decided to meet here for drinks and a quick bite to eat. One friend arrived before me, so she had a drink. Once I came in, I sat for about 15 minutes, and no one had come over to take my order, so I went to the bar to ask who was waiting on our table no one had been over. The bartender came to assist. He was very apologetic, I ordered a long island, and he brought out the drinks and took our appetizers order. Our waitress then came over to assist, we advised the bartender had already assisted, and we were waiting on one more person. The appetizers came out, and we got the southwest eggrolls. I was enjoying my drink and eggrolls, and out of my peripheral, I saw something on the ground crawl by... I looked around the chair, and just calmly scooting around was a freaking rat!!!!? I jumped up and yelled I'm done!!" " Bring me my check now,you got a rat over there!!!" The waiter was so mortified and embarrassed, and he stated we didn't have to pay, again very apologetic. So it's a NEVER AGAIN for me. ?

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!

WOW! Great place with great food. I didn’t remember to photo it but the fried cauliflower appetizer is amazing. I would not normally choose to eat cauliflower but it was delicious. The pork belly, egg and cheese sandwich was amazing as well as the steak and smoked mashed potatoes. Highly recommend. Parking can be tricky during busy hours though.

The food and drinks were great along with the service. Started with the loaded tots as appetizer and followed by a burger. The fries were unexpectedly GOOD! The burger was well seasoned and freshly cooked.
