Elysian is the place to go when you don't want to cook, your college roomate is in town for a meeting & has 2 hours to spare, on the way to a movie..... well, in short, a great every day place. Our family hits this spot at least 2 times a month -- a good 10 block walk home after the fries & beer. Nice to have a brewpub in a neighborhood that feels good for families yet doesn't lose its Capitol Hill / Pike Pine edge. We like the tatooed hipster waiters. We have had nothing but great experiences -- you may have to wait an extra minute or two but it is a big & busy joint. Our 12 year old has moved from the kid menu to a full burger and the waiters have always treated him like an adult. Favorite foods? Hands down the Pork Taco with peanut arbole sauce.... also great burgers & fish & chips.... big piles of fries & homemade tartar sauce. Prince Charming likes the Perseus Porter & I drink whatever is gold & cold.
