About The Elbow Room

The Elbow Room offers a diverse menu with options ranging from small plates to entrees like glazed salmon and steak frites. Their signature dishes include Elbow Room Mac and cheese, fajita bowls, and shrimp carbonara. This restaurant is known for its large dining room and a bar with a wide selection of beers, featuring a rooftop bar and outside seating that many enjoy. The atmosphere is welcoming for friends and family, with pleasant staff providing friendly service, although some customers have found the staff to be only moderately friendly. While the attached bar can be loud, especially downstairs where the music is almost imperceptible, the variety of beers on tap makes up for it. Customers have mentioned that ordering drinks can take time and they might not be as strong as those ordered at tables. The location near an intersection makes it a standout spot in the area, although parking can be tricky, with a lot located in the back and no free parking available around the restaurant. Overall, it is a solid spot for a casual bar scene, especially with the fun vibes of the rooftop and the opportunity to enjoy live comedy, particularly in the upstairs room for bigger acts.
