Elephant & Castle is a British-inspired pub where we encourage rowdy fun with your best mates. Here, you can always catch the match (because Football Lives Here) and have a nice hearty meal. Our menu is a Brit-"ish" invasion of flavour, yet warm and inviting. The Union Jack behind the bar might be faded, but the mood here is always vibrant. So come on in, and we'll greet you with a cool pint and tasty food.

    Good English pub! Nice decor and food is good. Good place to go to get a taste of England. Not to expensive but food doesn’t lack quality.

    My group ordered the wings and fried pickles as appetizers and both were good. We also tried the flatbread with chicken, fish tacos, and the fish and chips and it was good as well. Came back after our show to get bread pudding to go and that was outstanding! Great place for a bite to eat with friends.

    Stopped in for early dinner before a show. We were there during happy hour, so we enjoyed a $5 house wine and beer plus a delicious roasted tomatoes with garlic, whipped feta, and grilled bread starter for only $6. Our dinner was delicious and Mae, our server, was wonderful! There is a very relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. We have been there before and will continue to return!!

    E&C has a great ambiance and truly feels like an authentic British pub, and it’s right around the corner from The Chicago Theatre. Well made cocktails, and certainly solid food preparations with all the things WE ordered.

    They messed up our order of Butter Chicken-less Poutine and gave us one with chicken. I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years and almost ate a pice of chicken. I also ordered a side of onion rings with my burger and they brought me mashed potatoes. I don’t even know how that happened.
