Dog-friendly UES gastropub with a lively patio, creative bar food, and bottomless brunch; great for groups and events but noise, management missteps, and cleanliness complaints make experiences inconsistent.
Avoca delivers an energetic UES gastropub experience with strong food quality highlighted by creative scallops and brunch standouts, but recurring pest complaints and inconsistent execution across dishes prevent a higher grade. The appealing back garden and patio make it excellent for groups and celebrations, though noise and seating comfort issues temper the overall experience. Worth visiting for the vibe and creative menu, but cleanliness concerns warrant caution.
One caveat: Noise levels can be uncomfortably loud; requests to lower volume sometimes ignored
