I went to the Elysian Brew Pub for the first time last night, and overall, Im giving it a thumbs-up. As Im not much of a beer drinker, I was concerned that I might have to leave my comfort zone being that the Elysian -is- a brew pub. My fears were immediately put to rest, however, as I entered to see the full bar. My drink for the evening was a glass of Syrah-Viognier, which was only $6.00 and pretty enjoyable. The Elysian has high ceilings, low-backed booths, and plenty of windows which keep the space airy and open. There appeared to be a couple of standing-only tables, but for the most part, this seems to be a sit-down sort of place. I was impressed with the many food offerings, though there didnt seem to be any happy hour chow specials. My friend and I settled on the yummy crumbly-coated French Fries (accompanied with a unique sour cream-horseradish) and a great Mediterranean plate complete with hummus, baba ganoush, olives, roasted peppers, feta cheese, tomatoes, and stacks of pita wedges. The food was tasty, although we did seem to come up short on the pita wedges...or maybe we just received gargantuan servings of hummus and baba ganoush...? Our server, while perfectly friendly, did seem to stop passing by our table as the place filled up. As she was otherwise attentive, I have to wonder if the pub was short-staffed. Id go back, though...nice place, worth a visit if you havent been there!
Pros: Many choices on menu, full bar, high ceilings
Cons: No happy hour food specials? Seemed short-staffed
