Let’s be honest: Elwood’s is a dive. But it’s a good one, with super-affordable prices and quirky, friendly staff. The food was decent, and the happy hour deals were nuts for beer. The decor hasn’t been updated since 1983, and the radio is firmly stuck on 20th-century rock and punk, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely worth a visit!

Elwoods rocks! Great price on food, even better deals on beer! Great spot for vibes and a good time! Also Pele is so cool, give him a raise! Such an interesting lad! Ask him about Shakespeare!

Memorable things happen every time I go to Elwoods. Which is only twice, but it’s weird that it happened more than once.Anyway, Pele rocks. Y’all should eat here. Y’all should ask Pele about Shakespeare.

Had an end of the year beer there, music was nice, New Years packed!

Always loved Elwoods for their cheap Daily specials. Saturday to Thursday they have ALL day food and drink specials. Prices have jumped from the $6 specials pre-Covid, to $11 for my favourites the Sunday 6oz steak or Saturday 1/2 rack of BBQ ribs, still very worth it!! I love Elwoods neigbhbourhood vibe. All servers are very friendly, laid back while still giving attentive service.They remember you and welcome you back. Even great when they're slammed. If they run out of the daily special, they'll usually substitute in a different special, so you don't leave disappointed. Looking for a great burger? Order from regular menu the Bayou Burger: thick, juicy patty, amazing bacon (no fat) awesome sauce and all the trimmings with their thin cut, crispy, not greasy, home fries- you will not be diasspointed. Friend ordered the classic burger, said it was literally the best burger she'd ever eaten!Daily Specials have changed a bit from the phots I posted pre-covid. Thursday is now Burger and Fries, no Friday special, Sat still ribs, Sun still my favourite 6oz Steaks!Elwoods added a street patio during Covid (with heaters) and still have their sidewalk Patio tables with heaters that's sheltered and heated in winter, opens up in warmer weather. No room for bar games. Have several small sport screens, sound on during live games & good 'ol (& new) loud, rock'n'rol the rest of the time! So happy to see this Kitsilano institution didn't close or move East when their previous location was lost to the wrecking ball. My favourite pub in Kits!Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian pub aside from Fries and salad.Dietary restrictions: I have no problem eating here and I have many food intolerances and allergies.Parking: It's the first block going West on Broadway that DOES NOT have metered parking.Kid-friendliness: It is a pub, not a restaurant, but I have seen kids in here once. It's a very chill place as long as the kids like loud music.Wheelchair accessibility: The first level of the pub is wheelchair accessible. Though doors are not wide enough for big electric WC's. Washrooms definitely are not. Have to go up 2 steps to upper indoor level, then through a narrow hallway and the washrooms are very small.
Recommended dishes: Nachos, Gravy, Half Rack of Ribs & Fries, 6oz Steak, Bacon Bayou Burger, Steak and Fries, Burgers, 1 2 Rack of Ribs
