Title: "Not to be found in the Michelin Guide" 22.05.28 - To date, our most disappointing "eating out" experience had been "Jules French Bistro" in Gastown. "Elwoods" challenged that position. We three have been in the restaurant business for many years ourselves and are not "millennials" or folks who just "don't know" what a good evening out for a bite & drinks could or, more specifically, SHOULD be. Arriving at Elwoods close to 1500 hours, there were 14 patrons and 2 waitpersons, so, by no stretch of the imagination would it be considered to be "busy". More than 15 minutes after we arrived, we finally had our drink order taken. Were I the manager, I would consider that "potentially lost business". Sensing that this was going to be challenging, we had scanned the modest menu and had made our food decisions, so we were able to order when the drinks arrived. 40 minutes later, we inquired about the food (as we had a show to go to) so, while we had one of the over-worked waitpersons at our table, ordered another round of drinks hoping the food would soon arrive. (This is where, in a film, the camera would cut to "leaves blowing in the gutter" or "pages of a calendar turning", suggesting "time passing".) Sometime after that, our plates did arrive. We had ordered the fish tacos @ $15.50, Dubliner burger @ 18.50 + $2.00 for salade vs fries & the classic burger @17.50. The presentation was "pedestrian" at best and, but for the fries, everything was stone cold and tasteless. The total bill for this exquisite feast, with taxes, was $94.59. We did not leave a "tip" - which, by the way, is an acronym for "to insure promptness". I'm sure that, if you are less than 40 years old, this is the typical "experience" and, because you have had none other, you imagine that this is "how it's supposed to be". For the rest of the "evening out" crowd, I would recommend somewhere where the service is excellent, the food tasty and the atmosphere less depressing - such as the "Colony", which is just a block or two to the East.

Worst fish tacos ever, cold food, over price. Miserable portions, definitely a complete disappointment. And on top of that to bring the 3 tacos to the table they took like 40 minutes.

Out of the 3 pubs/bar options in this area, I'd rate this one the best. Tuesday is wings for $0.75 min of 10, and I tried duck wings for the first time ever! Lots of sauce and delicious flavours. Decor is nice especially the lighting. Bar seating is still allowed which I think is commendable. However all other tables are closely spaced but there are partitions. No physical or QR menus, you have to take photos at the front. Waitress could have been more friendlier though, maybe it was just a busy day. Chef actually came out of the kitchen and served some of us the dishes which I think was really awesome. Definitely recommend and will repeat.

It’s a nice neighbourhood pub at W. Broadway and Waterloo. Nice and cozy. Good menu for daily specials. Friendly servers. I enjoyed a glass of IPA.

Just went last night. The service was good, the drinks were decent but boy oh boy..the food was lacklustre. We ordered the Nachos for 17.50. There was barely any cheese on it, and what little there was was all dried up on to the paper. Overall decent place to go for drinks but probably eat somewhere else.

Very cool atmosphere. We sat out on the 'patio'. They have heaters out there that you can turn on to your level of comfort. The service was EXTREMELY SLOW when we were there on a Saturday at 5:30pm. We got a spot on the patio, the enterior was full. The house wine is horrible, I had a taste of it, opt for something else on the menu or a beer. We had the ribs and fries, which were quite tasty.
