Edelweiss Tavern

Even with a German name and a sign for a Polish brewery hanging over its door, there's not very much that's European about this Avondale dive, aside from a few imported beers. Edelweiss Tavern is a fairly standard neighborhood bar, outfitted with a couple of TVs, a Touchtunes jukebox, a pool table in the back of a bar and lively karaokes parties on Friday and Saturday nights. Come here with five friends during your birthday month and you'll drink for free—seriously.
