Grand Avenue Pub

Great addition to downtown Beloit. We went in for a few drinks and appetizers. The apps were great… you need to try the steak strips and the jalapeño cheese curds! Many craft beers are offered as well. Just know that they are in bottles… only one draft beer is available at this time (Stella Artois). We enjoyed the dart board as well as the pool tables that were in the bar. It was a great place and we will be back again.

We were hungry and the place we had intended to visit wasn’t going to be open for several hours. So, we were driving through town and spotted this place and decided to give them a try. We saw a sandwich board with the day’s specials outside the front door and liked what we saw. Up entering, we also liked what we saw of the décor. There is only one server on duty at this time of day as it seems to be normally quite slow at lunch time, which it really shouldn’t be considering how excellent the food turned out to be. My wife ordered a bowl of french onion soup and my mom ordered an appetizer of mussels. Both were very good, especially the mussels. My mom and I agreed they were the best we have ever had. Not just excellent in flavor with a wonderful sauce but also very, VERY tender. It was also a good sized portion for an appetizer, with at least 3 dozen of the little buggers. It took both of us to finish them off and still have room for our main courses. I had a coconut shrimp po’ boy, which was very good. I honestly don’t remember what the others had as I was too busy concentrating on my own meal. We all did agree that this is now a favorite place for lunch.
We’ll reserve judgements on evenings and weekends as they must be much more crowded then. Sundays include live music and I’m sure that with the crowds they must get later in the day must make things less intimate.
Too be sure, if you’re hungry and in the downtown area of Beloit, stop in for an excellent meal. You won’t be disappointed.

Very nice — worth a try!

Grand Avenue Pub recently replaced Club Impulse and has been a welcome addition to the downtown Beloit Area. We visited for the first time on Saturday night and the place was relatively happening. We sat in a booth and the server came by immediately and offered the special of 2 beers for the price of one. The only down side is they bring you two beers of which ever one you order and they bring it immediately. The server was nice enough to also bring an ice bucket to keep the free drinks chilled.
The food menu is decent, although there is a limited vegetarian selection. We opted for a flatbread and added jalapeños. The presentation of the flatbread on a wooden board with a side of well seasoned fries in a basket. It also came with a small sample of coleslaw which I have to say is the best I have ever tried.
Overall, it is a nice place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night. On Friday nights they have live bands, and on Saturday night they have a DJ who plays a decent mix of music starting at around 9pm. They also have 9 pool tables, dartboards, and some video slot machines. We look forward to heading back in the future.

Grand Avenue Pub only opened a few months ago. Heard good things about the food for lunches and finally had an opportunity to try it for supper. We had stopped there for a drink in the fall and were very impressed with the atmosphere. Large and spacious. Large inviting eating area makes it not quite feel like you are just eating in a bar.
Went on a Friday night. I had the fried fish and my wife had the buffalo chicken flatbread. Everything was excellent. We gave compliments to the chef and plan on returning soon.
