    This place has a great atmosphere and a great beer selection (c'mon - they make their own beer). The only thing I would change is the food - which is generous with 3-stars. Not to say that the food was bad, it just wasn't anything to write home about (though I can only speak for the steak).

    We had a business dinner there that included around 20 people. This is one of the best places to do this for a reasonable price while not feeling like you would be interrupted by others. We reserved the mezzanine level which was quieter and allowed us to converse without yelling across the table. Everyone had a great time and the staff were professional, friendly and fast. The salmon and pea risotto was delicious and the multiple appetizers ordered were tasty and varied as well.

    Interesting menu and the food was pretty good. Kitchen seemed slow. Housed in an old building, it seems to be really drafty. The dining room was drafty and cold. Pretty much had to keep our coats on during the entire meal to stay comfortable.

    We went looking for a place for a business dinner on short notice after a full day meeting. The Elysian was perfect; it got us in on short notice, the food was good, service attentive but not intrusive and they were in no hurry to rush us out. Comfortable place to have a nice unpretentious meal with friends.

    This is a great place for large groups. The second floor area is very cozy and you can actually have a nice conversation with friends. Beers are great (of course is Elysian!) and pleasantly surprised with food plates that had a nice size. Will come back again

    Great atmosphere, really good beer and surprisingly good food. My wife and I had a very relaxing time talking and enjoying great food and beers together. Service was tidy, but not overdoing! A great time was had. Would come again...excellent. The salmon is great and the Space Dust IPA is awesome.

    I was really excited when I saw that there's an Elysian Bar in Seattle! My boyfriend and I came to Seattle for a little vacation and we love the Elysian Space Dust IPA. We came in for happy hour and were both very impressed with the atmosphere. It was very spacious and nice to look at. Came by just for a drink and a bit to munch on. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Crab Wontons, both were DELICIOUS! Service was great. Would definitely recommend Elysian Bar!

    We were greeted warmly and sat quickly, server was nice but throughout the evening she seemed to get pretty busy waiting on other tables. Luckily, there was a male worker who kept checking in on us and kept us not needing much. Food was good, started with the won tons and I had the linguini with clams while my husband had the salmon with risotto. I enjoyed my meal, his salmon was phenomenal, but the risotto lacked a little something... Overall good experience! Oh the beer was great!
