    We stopped in to young ave for a late bite and hang session with friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very young and loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great time![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good and we also got mozzarella sticks which were tasty. Overall a good choice in the heart of midtown. We will be back to visit again!

    Kayla was our serve and she did a great job answering questions on the menu.. she even tried a desert to be sure it didn't to have nuts in it. Nothing fancy, more bar food than anything but it was good and clean and the best was cold. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is chill and fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will return. Thank you YAD!

Or the fries. Will report back in a few weeks on the sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So far it is only good vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A friend and I went and tried Young Avenue Deli on October 9, 2023. Once you walk in you seat whatever you want. Our server came to us very quickly. Luckily the food didn't take long to be ready. I decided to get the Sam I Am sandwich and Mozzarella Sticks. For both the items it was ok nothing too special. For the Mozzarella Sticks I just feel like something was missing to make it really good. For the Sam I Am sandwich the BBQ sauces, and bacon was really good, but the gouda cheese just tasted a little bit weird, and just kinda almost ruined the sandwich.

    The atmosphere is always a bit noisy. It is the upbeat noisy lull so not bad at all. I went a few weeks ago on a Friday night and they had great music. It truly was a very fun experience and I highly recommend. The Yankee sandwich today was very delicious. Half of it is big enough to fill you up. It's my new favorite. The onion rings were huge and we were so excited about them. Unfortunately for us the breading is too thick and although some appears crunchy it's not really. This may be the breading for you. Pro tip: if you order the chili cheese fries get the cheese on the side because it's a ton and just sprinkle in as you desire. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I do plan to return.

    You'd think a deli could serve decent, crisp fries. I guess not. The chicken salad is not what it used to be. The service was fine.

    Ask the Community - Young Avenue Deli

    Can I go even if I'm not 21?, I want to enjoy the live music and the pool but I'm 20 lol. Please help.

    As far as I know yes. They will ID you for drinking but I think anyone 18 and over is allowed on weekends for music.

    Is this the deli that is in the Netflix show Buried by the Bernards, I want one of those huge sandwiches!?

    Yes!!

    This is a cool spot that I never knew was in the city until I was invited to a private event. When…read moreyou walk in, it feels like you are walking right into the 80s or 90s or at least that seems when the last update was. You surely get a nostalgic feeling. The thing I notice is that they are very inclusive. They have several nights including karaoke, comedy, drag shows, and various event nights throughout the week. The owner is super sweet and inviting. She made sure to go around and speak to everyone that was there. During my visit, I did order food. I had the chess club sandwich. It is served on white bread and is filled with salami, bacon, gouda, lettuce pickle and onions. It was ok. It took forever for it to come out. People who had arrived way after us received their food quicker than we did. I had to go to the bar several times to ask about our food. I found out that the bartender was also the cook, so that semi explains the delay. I had a salad along with my sandwich. It was ok. I couldn't eat it all because the dressing was not good. I do want to state that it is a cool place to dive into if you are looking for something to do throughout the week. I not sure if the food is meant to be the central focus, but they so have vegan options in addition to a full craft and alcoholic beverage menu.

    The Lamplighter Lounge in Memphis, Tennessee has that old-school bar vibe and ambiance down pat and…read moreI mean that in an extremely positive way. Yes, it does feel a bit dated, but that is not a bad thing. The staff is overall friendly and the drinks are cold. Bars have a long history of being a spot to gather in both good times and bad. It is a place where we cam escape the stress of our day and enjoy a drink. Memphis, Tennessee is fortunate to have this bar.
