Delicious cocktails, great food, warm service by a team of pro servers. We ordered the halibut special, ribeye, chips, and fried smoked trumpet mushrooms. This was the best meal we've had in our 3+ weeks in Ireland!
Listen to your server's recs. We took his suggestions and found we'd ordered the perfect amount of food! Our plates were clean after we finished, but we didn't leave overly stuffed.
He also let us taste a few wines before committing to our choices. Highly recommend but reservations are a must, even during the slower months.
Also recommend sitting at the end of the bar if you're a foodie who enjoys watching the chef cook and plate your meal!

Great place. The food was just amazing (caramelised salsify), the beer was spot on, and the staff super friendly. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We are visiting Cork for a few days and stumbled across the Elbow Lane Restaurant. Wha an amazing find. It was like watching artistry in action. Everyone working together in a small space but in complete union. The two cooks worked gracefully together knowing exactly what their roles were and how to sync it together with the others work. The ribs were great and the buratta was to die for served with an amazingly tasty bread. I would highly recommend to everyone

Probably one of the best meals out we have ever had! From the service to the meal our waiters word “Savage” summed it all up! What a ridiculously amazing meal and evening! Might just stay here a few more days and eat here every night!
This is a must try if visiting Cork!

We went out for dinner last night and it was wonderful. The waiter gave us some of the best service we've ever had, explaining the menu item by item, answering our questions and always being polite. Customer service is exhausting, but he mastered it! The meat was also excellent, cooked to perfection, I really regret not taking a photo of the inside of the meat. I highly recommend it.

Everyone should experience this restaurant at least once but you'll definitely come back again and again. Top class service and food to match.

By far the best eatery for a meat lover in Cork. Even has an amazing Vegan option if needed. Decor is unreal, atmosphere is amazing, staff are shit hot! They know every little detail of the whole restaurant including the actual brewery at the back of the restaurant. Yes they brew what you drink on the menu right next to where you sit. The flavours of the food served are out of this world. Can't even begin to describe the t-bone steak. Fantastic food and experience.

I got the aguachile (absolutely delicious) and the lamb and with a side of the crispy mushrooms and it was so good!
The person I sat next with at the counter (we both came alone but hit it off and became fast friends) got the aguachile, the pork belly and the steak (that came with a side salad) and thought it was delicious.
I just wish I had room for dessert! It was yummy though and would definitely come back whenever I’m in town.
