Understatement is a virtue at this neighborhood favorite, where comfort, flavor, and a great feel for wine are the cornerstones. Bar Avignon is a wine bar at heart, offering more than 80 well-priced, well-chosen bottles from around the world, but the food choices (and the cocktails) are not to be overlooked. Splitting and sharing are the navigation modes, from small plates to entrees, plus a thoughtful selection of cheese and charcuterie. Happy hour features $7 glasses, fine oysters, and subtly sophisticated finger food.
