The Scene
They don't call it a public house for nothing. The windows run from floor to ceiling, creating an open environment with "look-at-me" bar types inside and sidewalk voyeurs outside. It's a huge, open space with a bar a half-block long. But don't miss the more intimate spaces in the lounge area, which boasts inviting couches. Live music, once regularly scheduled here, has been discontinued.
The Draw
A slew of beers have been brewed here since 1996, including the signature Indian Pale Ale (IPA). For a strong contrast, try the Extra Special Bitter. Or for a little of everything, go for the beer sampler: It will give you a taste of six of the pub's draft beers. The food is worthwhile. Among the offerings are the barbecue pork sandwich, the hummus platter, burgers, beer-battered fish and chips, and specials such as ceviche tostadas.

Met friends here last Saturday night - albeit a weekend evening, we dared to go out and have a low-key night playing Scrabble over drinks and food. Chose the place for their food/drink and large tables. Upon arriving, my friends had already been waiting for 10 min and had put our name in for 5. Were told the wait was another 20 min maybe. After we waited while I was there for 40 min very patiently, a couple of us went to check. We weren't rude, we just inquired. The snotty hostess informed me that someone had set the party at 5. I said we were only 4. My friend was just accommodating another who might join us, but we were 4. She again said it was set for 5. I again said, it's actually 4. Then she said firmly and rudely, 'Well, you'll still have to wait'. I hadn't thought otherwise. I simply asked how long it would be which she never gave us. In another 10-15 min, we did have friends join, which did make us 5, but they were leaving in 30 min to go to Piecora's and see a band so they weren't staying and the booths are plenty big for 3 men and 2 women. Another was joining us after they'd left so it was still 4. When we were seated about 15 min later, our friends followed us - and the hostess came by and remarking w/ a rude smirk on her face that she'd come by w/ another menu, cuz we'd told her it was only 4. It amazes me in these economic times, our money isn't greeted as appreciated. We all drank, ate, tipped well - because the server actually was extremely nice and friendly. The pork tacos were awful tho and sort of tasted like they're slathered in lard - I don't know how I ate one, but couldn't finish the other. I didn't say anything because I figured they'd a bad and busy night. The beer is great. A star for each our server and the beer. I've never been treated so rudely at The Elysian by anyone else there.. and if I hadn't been inside near the window, I would've gotten up and talked to the manager. Inexcusable and I won't go back readily.

Although they have great beer, they made some recent menu changes that I'm not to stoked on. First off, they had a red clam chowder, but made with mussels, that was a special of the day the last time i was in. I pretty much eat anything and I couldnt even eat half of it. I also had the black bean cakes - which tasted like hockey pucks. they were hard and flavorless. I would say that the rest of the people i was with enjoyed their food - the field roast ruben and then steak tacos. Plus the beer was good.

The service was speedy, the food was satisfactory, and the beer was very original and full of flavor. From pumpkin to peppercorn, or saison to supernova - this place brews it all! Expect to taste good beer with decent food and sufficient service then you will not be disappointed.
