The Avenue Sports Grill holds down a stretch of Greenville Avenue in Lower Greenville, the same restaurant row that has anchored Dallas nightlife for decades. It opened in October 2019 and built its name the simple way: a wall of high definition screens, a full kitchen, and every game you came to watch.
Who would love it: anyone who wants a reliable seat for an NCAA Saturday or an NBA playoff night without a cover or a velvet rope. Who would skip it: people after a quiet cocktail bar, because the volume here rises and falls with the scoreboard.
The room is spacious and built for sightlines, with screens angled so no booth misses the action. Friends of Lower Greenville describes it as a neighbourhood sports stop that leans on food, drinks, and the games, which is exactly the brief it fills. The kitchen runs standard sports bar fare done properly, and the takeout business stays steady on game days.
Drink the specials. The weekday happy hour runs Monday through Friday from six to ten with a dollar off all liquor and beer, Tuesday brings five dollar margaritas, and Wednesday cuts wine bottles to half price. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from eleven to three, which makes this a rare sports bar that earns a daytime visit.
Timing is straightforward. Big games fill the main floor fast, so arrive early for a marquee matchup. Weekday evenings are calmer and the happy hour is the value window. On a Lower Greenville crawl, this is the screen heavy anchor before the street's louder late night spots take over.

What regulars say
Across Yelp, where the bar carries 62 reviews as of early 2026, and local Lower Greenville guides, the steady notes are the screen count, the brunch, and the friendly happy hour pricing. The common caution is that a marquee game packs the floor, so a group should arrive ahead of kickoff to lock down a booth with a clean view.
