Eating here is a good choice as this place is far above most pubs in the downtown core....without inflating their prices! Try the noodle stir-fry! It was delicious. The service was fantastic as it was attentive to our needs. The specials need a little work...but the pints are cold and waitresses are cute!

Both were delicious with plenty of meat, We asked for some water and were pleasantly surprised when the waitress bought us a bottle of carbonated water... More

My family and I visited the Elwoods bar and grill for lunch the other day at about three o'clock. I had the lamb,(one of the specialties of the day) while my mother had an all day breakfast and my brother, the fish and chips. While my lamb was plentiful and quite nice, the rest of the meal was not so... More

We spent 2 nights in Galway at the hotel upstairs and were pleasantly surprise by Elwood's. The staff was great, we had a bartender names James who we chatted with for a few hours one nights. He sent us to some fun spots and it was nice to learn more about his story. Food was very good. We had a... More

I cannot express my gratitude to the staff of Elwoods, particularly Claire. I booked their beautiful private area for my sister's hen party on Sat 2nd March and the hospitality and warm reception we received from the staff from the outset was fantastic. They were so helpful and accommodating, I really wish I had booked the groups' accommodation in the... More

Due to reviews on Tripadvisor, my husband and myself visited this restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed. The restaurant was busy enough but the waitress we had managed to make us feel like the only guests. She was attentive and friendly and I don’t think anything would have been too much trouble for her. The complimentary brown bread was... More

Dined in Elwoods part of a 2 nights B&B and 1 evening meal in the hotel. There were a few diners there when we arrived, and while the restaurant looks rather appealing from the lobby, it just wasn’t a comfortable place to sit, and certainly didn’t have a ‘restaurant’ feel about it. It is arranged in booths with some free-standing... More
