Completely renovated.. great oysters and food... Saturday nights have a great turnout with a hop/rnb dj . Can't be compared with the old elmdale. Excellent service , great for the hip or the trendy
Excellent service w/ unique events like black & bluegrass fest. ❤️ Whalesbone food but resent that they gutted and replaced the heritage space that was the $-accessible music venue , Elmdale Tavern .
Had one of the best meals of my life here recently... Maritime Oysters , Salted fish fritters , and Lobster Waldorf. Lucky for me they had Beyond the Pales' Pink Fuzz on tap .. wow
New owners ( Whalesbone ) did a fabulous job of lovingly renovating the classic old Elmdale Tavern . Best place for seafood in Hintonburg and lovely long U-shaped bar
Impressed a) I got dan here b) something remains the same namely this beer c) what they did to the place d) the old photos the kept
I love this place! The good, tasty, fresh and fun. The ambiance is always nice
Crush Improv performs 'Bout Time on the first Monday of every month at 8pm (http://crushimprov.com/)
Amazing eats!! Just make sure you enunciate when you say "half dozen" :)
Nice lobster dish with lobster bisque .
Everything
it's a great mix of people. Good music and beer . The best and cheapest evening to be had in Ottawa.
Oysters and beer are good- nothing else is
Great bar with stage. The pickled jars kept me' entertained for a while.
Oysters ... enough said.
revel in the best live music south of the river ; Nat's bookings are up there with the Black Sheep
It's a dive bar . Paid $8 for a pint and the place was mostly empty on a Friday night.
Have a Jager Bomb , with pickled egg and sausage chaser!
Terrible music
Pick up an Elmdale t-shirt.
Smells bad.
Great oysters. Steelhead trout with honey glaze fantastic-cauliflower vanilla purée with it to die for. Great chowder. - Keith Quebodeaux
Best chowder, i liked the octopus, its mixed with strong sausage taste if you like sausage. BBQ chicken was pretty good. There isnt a lot of seafood options for entrees. The atmosphere is 11/10 - Paul
Great charcuterie.. great service, cocktails pretty good. They have soft pretzels! - Paul
Their Bar Snack cheeses are AWESOME!!! I had a local blue with some kind of beets on the side...Amazing combo!!! - Lucas Simon
