Whiskey Bent Bar & Grill leans into the hearty end of pub food: tenderloins, wings and sandwiches, with beer, wine and cocktails alongside. The Avon bar serves lunch and dinner, with a listed price range of $10–$20 that keeps it in casual-meal territory.
A tenderloin sandwich is a straightforward starting point; diners also mention chicken sandwiches and pretzel appetizers. Praise for the food and attentive service recurs in reviews, including accounts of staff handling large parties. Live music and ample seating make the place a fit for groups as well as a sandwich-and-drink stop.
The room comes with an important trade-off: indoor smoking. Diners repeatedly describe cigarette smoke as part of the experience, and several say it detracts from the food, particularly when the bar is crowded. Outdoor seating is a frequently praised alternative to the rustic interior.
Whiskey Bent is at 5250 E US Hwy 36, Suite 120, in Avon. It opens daily at 11 a.m. and closes at midnight Sunday through Thursday and at 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Reservations and takeout are offered; delivery is not.
