We celebrated our 49th Anniversay, and had a great time. Their food is fantastic and the service is the best we ever had. We love the Piano player.
We are new to the area Arabella's, Ave Bar and Bistro Pizza are our go to places for food.
Great food and staff I love it every time I go never a bad time
Always enjoy Ave Bar....the atmosphere is fantastic! Bartenders are excellent. Love relaxing in the oversized chairs in front of the flowing water. It's nice to be able to order food from Arabella's and Bistro Pizza. Glad to have a place like Ave Bar in Winter Haven.
A note of thanks to the staff and owner for making NYE a success! We enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed the party!
Great atmosphere, food, friendly service....a central 'mothership' for WH.
Great place to meet friends for a pre dinner drink
Great atmosphere, menu and most especially- people!!
Um excelente lugar para beber e comer com os amigos. Volto com certeza.

It doesn't get more comfortable or classy than This! :-)
Mark and Logan are wonderful bartenders. We come here at least 2-3 times a week because of their service. The food is amazing. My husband and I choose this restaurant because of the SERVICE and food. Great atmosphere. The manager Jeff is great as well. He greets us every time with a smile. Highly recommend. We ❤️ this place.
Great little bar in Winterhaven with some fantastic food options. It is connected to both Arabella’s for finer dining and also a pizza place, so there is plenty of food to choose from. Very great bar menu during happy hour. I especially love the bruschetta here as well as the Fiocchi. it is very popular and on the small side, so getting us you can be a challenge on usually pretty loud in there so not a good place to go if you want a peaceful night out.
I've traveled widely and recognize skill behind bar. Even though busy, Logan didn't hesitate to cheerfully experiment with my "Martiki" expresso suggestion. This establishment has some creative above the line offerings and plenty of essential ingredients as well as the fine tools needed for crafting a quality tipple. They could use some acoustic panels to dampen the boisterous atmosphere (NOISE), but otherwise this is a great bar with a talented mixologist sandwiched between awesome pizza and fine dining. Cheers!
Great food, very fun atmosphere! my wife and I had an issue with one of meals last week but the manager was quick to address our issue and took care of us right away. It is slightly on the pricey side if you order from the Arabella’s menu, but it’s worth the price tag, atleast for what we have ordered. We will definitely be regulars.

Had a business meeting here. Mark gave us amazing service. Very friendly. Great atmosphere, service and food.
What an interesting place. You can order from 2 different restaurants from the bar. One is an Italian restaurant and the other is a pizza place. Both of them have great food and offer items from 8 dollars to 35. I would definitely recommend this place to hang out in the evening or stop in for lunch.
Couple of caveats: most spots in Winter Haven close early. We've had a lot of growth in WH the past 24 months. I am approaching this review from the perspective of just wanting a late night (for WH) spot that was low key. Ave bar is the best pizza and drinks spot. Great location downtown. It should be more busy than it is, which is the reason I say low key. Quality of food is superb. Lots of attention to detail. The drinks are crafted. Love this spot.
We had intended to go to Arabella's, but we didn't have a reservation, so they kicked us out over to here. And I'm so glad they did! I didn't catch our server/bartender's name, but he was average height, short brown hair, and had a beard. He was wonderful, and made the best Old Fashioned I've ever had out in the wild. Their small plate menu is great and nicely priced. We ordered dinner off the Arabella's menu and both the rigatoni and veal parm were excellent as well. We will be back!
Love this place! Good drinks, nice atmosphere, kind of small but adequate. Appreciate the option of 2 menus from neighboring restaurants which both serve excellent food! So the only reason for no 5th star is the acoustics. It gets so loud in there, if more than 1/3 of tables are taken it becomes difficult to maintain table conversation.
Great place to meet friends. Ask for Mark to be your waiter, he is very attentive and makes great drink and food suggestions. Whether you want just Appetizers or a full meal you can get it here
Had a company party here. Friendly staff clean environment. 👌
Great atmosphere! Friendly service and excellent food. Great idea on how you can order from the two restruants connected to the bar. Would indeed go again.
I Love this bar it's between 2 restaurants that are fantastic and you can order from either restaurant and eat right in the bar lot of fun great people you'll like it too🖖
Food from the Italian kitchen(s) and the cocktails were great, but service on a Saturday night was meh.
