My husband was annoyed that we were going to eat at "just another hole in the wall bar," but he was so very wrong. Tav on the Ave is most certainly not a dive bar. First and foremost, the drinks are super fun. Their signature drinks...Read More

Had a great birthday lunch at The Tav on the Ave. It is locally owned and they have so much good food, it is hard to choose off the menu. Great burgers, fish tacos, and sandwiches! Be sure to stop by if you're in town...Read More

I had the Morning After Burger with plain ranch (instead of buffalo ranch) and no onion rings and subbed their "famous waffle fries" instead of chips. The food was excellent and I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Mankato.

Very kind, friendly, and attentive staff and a fun atmosphere. The menu has a nice variety of food items, including some gluten free choices. This was important for my sister and niece, who have celiac disease.

Had to leave a review because our server Emma W was phenomenal! She brought great energy right away, made sure of my friends gluten allergy, and was very attentive. She deserves a raise! Thank you Emma!
