Meet us where the rooftop beckons
The Avenue Ale House and Rooftop Cafe is one of the largest and longest-running restaurant establishments in Oak Park. This hot spot in the village has a self-proclaimed “immensly large” beer selection and rooftop that’s perfect for sipping a brew.
Try the Smoked Gouda Mac N Cheese with adobo chicken, bacon, smoked gouda, and buttery bread crumbs, or snack on Buffalo Fried Calamari with homemade buffalo sauce.
The wings here are an Ale House favorite and come in flavors like garlic parmesan, twisty teriyaki, maple chipotle, and extreme heat.
And there’s the burger bar where you build your own burger. Choose from a 10-ounce grass-fed beef patty, grilled chicken, black bean patty, or spinach and feta-stuffed turkey patty. Then top your protein with your choice of cheese and add-ons like sauteed onions, mushrooms, giardiniera, fried egg, bacon, or Guinness honey mustard.
Two things that pair well with a beer on the Avenue Ale House rooftop are the Crispy Cod Street Tacos and the Grilled Pear and Goat Cheese Salad.

Tuesday 4pm to 11pm
Wednesday 4pm to 11pm
