Reviews of Elbow Lane Brew and Smoke House

Where to start !
On arrival we were greeted and seated by the friendliest waiter I have ever met, he seemed to genuinely like his job, he talked us through the menu and specials in a way that made us want to order everything. The food here was amazing, probably the best steak I have ever had. Great food, lovely atmosphere and all for a reasonable price. The food alone is worth a visit but what really makes it special is the staff, the pride that they take in their produce is fantastic, each staff member was excited about what they were serving and genuinely thrilled that we enjoyed the food they that clearly and deservedly stand behind. This is what a dining experience should be.

We shared our wedding anniversary in Elbow Lane a few weeks ago. The first impression you get is the friendliness of the staff, so accommodating and very sincere. You can tell everyone in the place gets along and know what they’re talking about from their in house beers to their flame roasted main dishes. There are some nice fine dining touches in a place you can also appreciate as a cosy environment. Good music, open flames, great food. We’ll be back.

Fantastic atmosphere, as well as fantastic food. Everything was cooked to perfection. Staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, even walked us through the menu as it was our first time there. Great selection of cocktails and in-house craft beers. Highly recommend.

This place is STELLAR!!! They are mostly known for their meat options but I found they had great vegetarian options too. I only had their beetroot starter and it was the best beetroot I've ever had. They bbq'ed it and not only was it the best beetroot, it was also the best vegetarian bacon immigration I've ever tasted! They also have craft beer flight tasting which is pretty rare! I can't wait to go back.

Very impressed with our first visit. My wife and I had dinner here on Sunday evening, with our son and his girlfriend, they had Benn here a few times. Table service was excellent, we ordered 2 Tbone and 2 ribeye steaks, which came exactly as we liked them. The fries were the nicest I've had in a long time, and overall, and very enjoyable meal. Don't take my word for it, go, try, enjoy....
E. E.
Absolutely fantastic cuisine, the ambiance is modern rustic, the staff super friendly, highly recommended..
G. B.
Words will not be enough to describe the feast for our tastebuds. The quality of the dishes, attention to details and the taste put this place in another league.
J. K.
Best food!! Had one of the best steaks here!! And don't skip on the dessert
R. N.
Considered one of the best steaks in Ireland. It's really good. Small but fantastic restaurant. Very Friendly staff
C. L.
First visit to this restaurant the food and service was excellent but its a bit too pricey.
But I enjoyed the experience and would return again.
M. R.
It was fine. Like the food was well prepared. But there were a few things that weren't to my own personal preference (others might find it good so this is just a personal opinion).
First off, the cutlery and crockery is a bit off. The plates are glossy shiny plates straight out of an 80's Irish hotel. When you try to cut the sausages (with the plain butter knife they give you) the plates will screech. I also had to ask for a sharper knife for my steak. Which they provided without question - perfectly good service by the way - but a simple steak knife would have been better I think.
I had the t-bone which was cooked well but there was an aftertaste that I wasn't a fan of. Presumably the smokey butter they add. Might be to other people's taste but not mine. The pepper sauce gratin was a bit meh to be honest and the creamed mustard greens could have been creamier I thought. The chips are top notch though and the ribs not too bad (though again, not something I'd be in a rush to try again).
Overall, I felt that it's overpriced. The food is fine but not stellar for my tastes. Service was very good but paying a fiver for each side is a bit cheeky and 28 euro for the T-bone was too expensive for what we got.
S. K.
Excellent food. Fine dining. Had baby back ribs, which is a generous portion and ribeye steak. Medium rare is a good choice. We had the set menu which costs us €26, starters, mains n dessert. Need to be early though as they are quite popular
J. W.
Atmosphere and ambience is comfortable. Staff attitude is welcoming and warm. Ate a few times, and food is generally excellent. Would avoid the ribs though, they're smoky to the point that's almost all you can taste.

One of the best dining experiences in Europe by far! Sitting at the bar being able to talk to the staff is always a favourite for me and this was no exception; professional, kind and passionate staff. The food was delicious! I don't eat steak often these days but was so glad I did, so tender and flavoursome, highly recommend the rib eye! We also had starters, dessert (delicious chocolate mousse) and drinks and I can't fault a thing. Great value as well for the quality and experience compared to many other places we've eaten in Ireland and UK. It's a small venue so I recommend going early or if you have to wait, it will be worth it
A. S.
Nice ambience and decor. Fantastic service, all staff were genuine and friendly.
Food was excellent. Steak expertly cooked.
Honestly couldn't fault a single part of the evening. The people running this place really know what they are doing, 5 stars!
F. K.
Very delicious (we tasted the "baby ribs", the "pork neck steak" and also the "daily fish") ... and the five beers were good, too! - The smoky sauce on the "baby ribs" is absolutely perfect and also available to buy locally. - If you really love pork... visit this small restaurant.
A. M.
Lovely place with super fresh beer and creative smokehouse dishes. The food is very good, but what really stands out is the relaxed atmosphere and the impeccable service.
T. (.
Oh, Elbow Lane ... My heart is so divided; It is almost faultless. I like meat and Elbow Lane - SmokeHouse - seemed like the perfect place to eat. First night: great, I loved and rarely ate such good meat and the rest of the meal was in the same vein. Second meal, no complaints, except that the restaurant is starting to be my favorite in Cork, a must.
- Intimate place, subdued lighting and little table making the restaurant suitable for an appointment.
- Meat grilled in the flame with the cook who cooks in front of you (excellent)
- Homemade beer, very good (we can see the brewery in the background)
But then, why this disappointment? Because we have never been able to go back there; the establishment refuses reservations and on Fridays and Saturdays it is necessary to wait at least 3/4 of the hours to eat (sometimes 1:30).
If you like to wait, I recommend this restaurant, but for me it loses a star because of it.
E. B.
Great experience. Food was fantastic, atmosphere was very warm and staff couldn’t be friendlier. Truly one of the best restaurants I have eaten in! Will be back!
Kind regards,
Eoin and Anna.
R. P.
It is probably the best food I had during my road trip in Ireland. They are very precise, they care about small details and have fresh products. This implies that the food you will get will be delicious. We tried meat and fish and they were both amazing. The atmosphere is also nice and and the staff is friendly and very competent.
G. S.
This place is awesome. I’m a Texan, a former Memphian, a meat smoker, so I know a lot about smoking and BBQ. This place is DELICIOUS. Do not miss this place while you are in Cork. The ribs were great, the mushrooms were phenomenal, the cauliflower was incredible (didn’t know you could make cauliflower taste that good), and the beers were tasty.
You won’t regret your visit here!
H. I.
We had the sausage plate to share to start - it was incredible! Possibly the best part of the meal. And the potato gratin was also amazing. All round excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience!
R. S.
One of the best steaks I've ever had - hands down. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff who are clearly passionate about food and drink; I was talked through all their meats and own-brewed beers thoroughly and eventually opted for a ribeye steak which was wonderfully smoked and perfectly done. The sides were amazing, and the red ale was so, so good.
Being as I was visiting Cork on business, I was dining alone and the ability to sit at the bar to eat was such a welcome option - it really opens up the social side of dining when you're on your own.
Definitely one of the most pleasant solo dinners I've ever had, and I'll be sure to go back if I find myself in Cork again!
M. K.
No reservations - but worth the wait!
We were seated at the bar, next to a VERY skillfull and charming bartender who did quite the job entertaining us.
After a very short wait our gorgeous steaks arrived and they were perfect!
After his we endulged in a very awesome beer-cocktail and a dessert which were just as awesome as the rest.
This was an awesome night-out - thanks guys!
L.
Lovely cosy little pub/restaurant. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff there were bunch of nice and happy people. Go there early as it will be busy (even if it's pouring down outside).
S. B.
We loved the steak here. It was fun to watch the choreograpged chaos in the tiny kitchen area. The place is small but if you get there early you wont have to wait! My husband got one of the craft beers that was recommended and loved it. Side dishes were divine and the meats were perfectly cooked.
c. o.
Loved the food. The wait staff are very friendly and give great recommendations on food, drinks and dessert. Can't wait to go back.
K. W.
The nicest meal I've ever had in my life. And I mean that. I had the grilled aubergine, my boyfriend had the ribs. They were exquisite. I'm from Dublin and will be certainly visiting Cork again for this restaurant alone.
Lovely atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The drinks were delicious. And all for an excellent price. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you're in Cork City, you have to try it!! I wish there were more like this in Dublin.
Thanks for a great evening. :)
K. H.
Food was absolutely exquisite. Could not fault it. We had the beef short rib, marinated roast chicken and seafood salad for mains. Mouthwateringly good. The service was brilliant, would happily return
P. F.
Awesome food and staff. The best Restaurant in cork i known. We had to waiting 30 minutes for a tanke as We didn't have a Reservation. IT was definitiv worth IT. The have a huge passion for their food and focus on details. We will definitively come back again.
W. Y. C.
The wood fired grill is the centerpiece of their kitchen. From beef to fish, each item is carefully roasted over live wood fire.
A. C.
One of the best steaks I have ever had and great value. Makes you wonder why we pay so much in the States for something not as good. Would make you want to move back to Cork. Highly recommend. Next time Sea bream on the bone.
Just been back again and had the fish on the bone, A1. Can't recommend enough. You won't be disappointed. Thanks guys.
J. F.
Lovely meal, friendly responsive staff. One of the nicest steaks I've had in a long while.
V. Z.
Love the place! It's tiny, cozy and dark inside. Steaks there are absolutely fantastic, as well as their fries. The starters are a bit overpriced. The place is not good for kids.
M.
Impeccable. The wait for the table was well worth it. Very friendly staff, delicious food, intimate, incredible cocktails, high-class service without the fuss.
T. M.
Amazing food. If into fish dishes, try the fish dish cooked on the griddle.
Walk in only. No reservations taken. If full, which is more than likely, your name goes on a list, and they call you when a table is available.
Believe me, the wait is worth it!!!
R. T.
Good food, good beer and wine, and nice atmosphere... in Cork city centre. When ordering the BBQ Ribs, get the full rack not the half rack. Also, try the beer flights - called Tray A (3 beers) and Tray B (4 beers) - to try their own craft brew.
V. B.
Amazing food. Staff could not be better. Their passion and love for the food and drinks menu shine through. Highly recommend.
D. L.
Fantastic steak and we also had dessert which was really great. Staff are super friendly and their own beers are good.
One of the best restaurants in Cork in my opinion.
D. P.
Food is simply delicious and perfectly cooked. Served with care by professional and nice staff. Probably my favourite restaurant now in Cork.
The menu could offer more options.
Meat is smoked in the restaurant on a very smart fireplace which you can see from every table.
Fish is served whole with head and tail to maximise the flavor which is nice and brave in a country like Ireland.
This is sofisticate service brought to everyone.
It's hard to get a place - they don't take reservation. No more than 24 seats in the whole restaurant.
Also it seems that cannot accomodate groups larger than 4 people.
J. C.
Nice atmosphere. You can see your food being cooked. Staff are very friendly. The best grilled meat (t-bone and sirloin) in Cork. Beer homemade and delicious. Prices are fair.
E. H.
Excellent grill Steak & sea bream fish .
5-star service , make you in relax mood .
One of the Best restaurants in Cork .
Will come back again .
N. M.
My favourite restaurant in the world!! This place is so special to me, I adore it. From the amazing food to the extremely friendly staff and the intimate atmosphere I cannot recommend it enough!
A. R.
Perfect steak, glorious mushrooms, amazing staff and best espresso martini I’ve ever had.
A. D.
Had an unreal steak dinner, honestly one of the best steaks I've ever tasted! Brilliant service too!
N. C.
Wow what a place, bbq smokey aroma in the air, only a few tables and dimly lit.
As others have mentioned the menu very limited, but everything on offer is superb.
The small kitchen is open to the restaurant, you can watch the chef's preparing your food. Now on to the food... One of the best meals in terms of taste I've ever had!
If you're in Cork Elbow Lane Brew and smokehouse is definitely worth a visit.
P. Y.
We ordered the roasted beetroots and ribs, ribs are fabulous!!! So tasty we already talked about coming back! A must try!
R. P.
Great food, small intimate space and friendly service
N. F. G.
If you get here early enough to get in they will treat you well! Their mastery of meats cant be oversold. They'll even get you hot towels if you get the sauce from your ribs all over your face!
S. P.
Very nice place with great steaks and craft beers. The service was very kind, the prices are Ok.
T. K.
Outstanding food and beer!
Had one of the best meals here recently from juicy jerk prawns with smoked tomato that perfectly combined fiery flavours with sweetness to terrific tempeh, amazing artichoke, fab rarebit cauliflower and a delectable malt custard tart dessert and excellent beers! Service was exemplary, attentive, friendly and perfectly paced. And of course, the stars of the night, two wonderful young chefs who never stopped working for a second and treated us to a meal that sets a new standard that will be very difficult to top! Thank you!
W. K.
Had dinner here with a colleague.
We had cocktails - gin and tonic, and a rhubarb sidecar. Both are highly recommended!
For the mains, we had the pork and the ribeye. It was so tender and we definitely loved it. We also had the cauliflower and that was just beautiful.
Service was great as well - friendly and non-intrusive. It worked out to be about €93 for 2 rounds of cocktails, 2 mains and a side. We will definitely be back.
Due to the pandemic, reservations are highly recommended since they were fully booked on a Thursday.
E.
I love the food here, it always smells and tastes delicious and is presented beautifully. The only issue I have is deciding what to have, the brunch menu has something for all tastes as does the dinner menu. I would happily eat here every day if I won the lotto!
As a bonus, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, polite and respectful, with an impeccable attention to detail which makes every visit here unique.
The dining experience here is fantastic every time and I cannot wait to come back again.
D. T.
Amazing steak. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, very cozy. Will definitely return :)
B. P.
Absolutely amazing! The beer was fantastic and the ribeye that I had was cooked perfectly. Easily the best steak that I've had in Europe. Service was also stellar. Everyone that was working never stopped moving and still managed to put the customer first. If you're looking for a great meal and atmosphere, and maybe a great beer, try this place out!
J. W.
Starters can be a bit hit and miss, but the mains and desserts are top notch. Easily the best steak in Cork city.
E. M.
A delightful dining experience.
It started with a warm enthusiastic welcome and developed into a very memorable evening. The passion was evident from our server through to the open kitchen. Having started with the brisket roll which was delicious we decided on sirloins. They were tender flavoursome and promptly served. The recommend wine was cleverly paired.
The evening ticked all the boxes and if there were more boxes I would tick them too.
R. T.
Great restaurant, small but cozy. I ordered a homemade beer and ate the fish, which was the special of the day. The staff makes you feel at home, and the very friendly manager is always making sure that everything is done according to the client's needs.
L.
Superb dining experience!! Went over Christmas with the hubbie. I had the ribs and he had the steak, both were very tasty but the steak was incredible. The wine list is also great, with a nice variety. The staff are very attentive and a big shout out to Dickie our server on the night. You rock!! :)
H. H.
Without a doubt my favourite place to eat in cork. Ribs and steaks are amazing. The fish of the day is always fresh and delicious. Washed down with some great beers and all while being served by friendly staff.
M. K.
Had soup and sandwiches for lunch. French onion wasn't seasoned but still had some flavour. Side of fries were a bit undercooked. Was still very nice overall.
Service was excellent and their own beers were absolutely stellar. I'd easily go back just for the angel stout again.
B. O.
Great place for dinner and a special evening out to celebrate a birthday. The rib eye steak was excellent so also was the chocolate desert. The staff were friendly and excellent making for a most enjoyable evening. All of this came at a very affordable price. One suggestion some crispy baguette would have been appreciated to soak up the the excellent sauce with the mussels.
K. D.
So lucky to have experienced this place. Was a bit skeptical honestly due to the deceiving name (I was expecting more American bbq brew pub). Instead we had an incredibly meal of locally sourced meat and veg all cooked over a wood fire.
The lamb chops were exceptional, so tender and delicately smokey. Everything we ate was beautiful presented and delicious. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Truly a culinary gem here in Cork and not to be missed.
K.
Great steak and chips! Staff were extremely friendly and professional. Atmosphere inside was relaxing and loved that the kitchen was in the middle of it all so we could see everything being cooked!
c. c.
Lovely spot, the food is excellent and the staff are great.
S. M.
We had an amazing meal on a
Monday evening.
We shared a main course and many small plates.
The vegetables were outstanding!
Desserts didn’t disappoint either.
Highly recommend and will definitely be back when in Cork.
A. M.
Had a great steak here and cooked just perfectly. Nice open kitchen too which I love cause you get all the smells and flavours. Friendly and helpful staff with a nice selection of wines. Not cheap, but then again it’s steak and wine.
D.
Really liked here. Very friendly and effective service. The food is very tasty - the whole sea bass was beautifully cooked and juicy. The steak was tender and cooked as requested. The house beers (particularly the Wisdom Ale) are excellent.
It's a small spot so it fills quickly and doesn't take bookings but will give an indication of how long before a table would be available.
O. N.
Elbow lane provides top quality service and food. During these times, they have come up with an ingenious way to insure that you can still get your drink.
Grab a drink and chill outside. It is wheelchair accessible. There is wheelchair accessible parking nearby. At the moment, they have to limit who goes inside: staff only.

We arrived for dessert, the restaurant inside was absolutely packed (》40minutes waiting time), but the two outside tables were available with heating option. Very friendly staff, quick service and absolutely outstanding food! The food pairings sound quite odd, but worked fantastically.
Y. T. H.
Love this place! Delicious food, cocktail and great service👍🏻will definitely come back again
M. M.
Excellent food. Excellent beer. Super helpful and friendly staff. Gluten free options. What more could you possibly want? Exquisite unique cocktails? Well they have them too. This place is so good we were only in Cork for 2 nights and we came back the 2nd night.
Highly recommended!
D. R.
Without a doubt the best smoke house I've visited whilst in Ireland.
Definitely advisable to either book in advance or call in at the start of a night in order to establish when you'll be able to get a table. Once seated you'll understand why.
The atmosphere is lively and vibrant yet not over the top for somewhere you're going to be eating.
The staff are friendly, attentive and above all; passionate about what they do. We were served by Julia who certainly was all of the above.
There's an excellent selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from whilst perusing the menu.
The food on offer does an amazing job of fusing the food that cork is traditionally famous for with a good modern smoke house. Local seafood and ox tongue are amongst other items on the menu that are prepared in a way that will honestly give the modern foodie pause for thought. The ribs were tender, full of flavour and had a great smoke ring visible within the meat. The sides complimented the mains in a fantastic way.
Give it a go, you'll be more than happy and will definitely want to return!
R. D.
Warm cosy atmosphere. The restaurant doesn't take bookings and we were lucky to get a table on a Friday evening. Service was first rate: unsure which wine to order, the waitress brought me a couple of glasses to sample. I had the T-bone steak - always nice to see on a menu - and my wife had the fish of the day, a whole sea bass. Both were delicious, although both suffered slightly from heavy seasoning. The restaurant is proud of its home made mix of spices, but it was overly salty for my taste, and my side of chips (fries) suffered a similar fate. The side of caramelized onions was suitably gooey but I would skip the side of cabbage and duck bacon. Desserts were nice, nothing extraordinary and a bit over priced. Would go again, for sure, after sampling something else of what Cork has to offer.
M. H.
Really excellent meal here last night. Great for couples. Fabulous interesting starters and great steaks. Friendly and informed staff. No reservations so go to the Oak for a pint after you’ve checked in.
T. G.
My girlfriend and I went here having read the glowing reviews (including one saying it was the best meal of their life) and knowing it was the number one rated restaurant in Cork. And yet we were not disappointed! The service was good, the steak cooked to perfection and make sure you get the mushrooms as a side (thank me later).
E. L.
Great place. We had the beer tests with 4 locally brewed beers. The food was awesome, they use local produce and extend the flavours to the max. We had ox tongue and cheese for entree, sirloin and ribs as main, seaweed and potato gratin and roasted turnip with leek as sides. A delicious chocolate mousse as dessert. Everything was awesome, cooked on wooden fire.
Waiters were friendly but discrete, well prepared about every dish and drink.
So awesome place to go.
Love the first in first seat rule without booking.
H. N.
The steak was amazing!!! Came here for valentines and we had the 3 course meal. The staff was very friendly and even let me have a sample of the desert as I couldn’t make a choice. The beef croquettes were to die for really. Really amazing can’t wait to be back
L. K.
Excellent restaurant. Pretty much hits the mark on everything. The setting and decor is warm and welcoming. The staff were great. Really friendly. The food was delicious. And bonus points for doing pichets/carafes of wine! I wish more restaurants would do this!
F. M.
My favourite restaurant in Cork city. The menu is limited but the food is fantastic, with all of their ingredients sourced locally. The beef brisket starter is a stand-out. They have excellent beers brewed in house. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful It's small (seats approx 26) and doesn't take bookings so get in early and put your name on the waiting list (pop to Meade's across the road for a glass of wine). You won't be disappointed.

I meant what's left to say...
First we were met at the door by a lovely chap who told us straight up that we wouldn't be seated till half 8-9. I said that's fine and they took my number to let me know when the table was ready. We headed back at half 8ish and table was just getting cleared up as said they would. He greeted us again and room our coats which was a first for us. Already great service.
We were brought to a nice table in the back. Limited seating available makes the place feel very exclusive and homely. Same can be said for the menu. Quite small. All fits onto one page.
A server came to us with means and also a small plated of seasoned roar peas. Very nice appetizer. Went down too quickly with 4 of us.
We were then greeted by our server for the night called Steph. Lovely personality, very bubly, knew what she was talking about when it came to the menu. We had questions about the difference between the rib eye, tbone, and serloin .
She came back once we were ready and mentioned to make it easier there is only Ron eye and tbone. She recommended how it should be had which is medium rare. I have my order for rib eye but after she left I wanted it changed and that was no problem for them.
When we got our food we were very impressed. My Tbone steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare as were my friends rib eye.
Our other friend for an entire pig of ribs. Amazing portions. The steak didn't come with sides. Have to be ordered separately. Didn't come with any sauce either and that's because IT DOESN'T NEED ANY. It's so well seasoned and render you don't need or want any sauce with it. I got mushrooms for side and was beautiful with the steak. Eventually we finished, they took our plated and we received hot towels. Amazing touch to an awesome dinner. Very refreshed. Then finished our night with the tart and the mouse ice cream. Very light way to finish the evening. Price may be expensive, but the reason is amazing food and amazing service. Top class. Worth the wait.
Thank you to Stephanie our server and all the chefs and fellow workers. Great night. I'll try attatch photos.
G. k.
Very pleasant evening for eating out. Food was very delicious and I would recommend the Lamb Chops. Good & friendly staff and always helpful. You would find this restaurant on Oliver's Plunkett Street. I would recommend it to all my family and friends if you go to Cork City.😎
T. H.
Really good food (had the steak) plus a great selection of beers. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cosy and compact meaning you may have to wait or book in advance, but worth it.
k. l.
Friendly and helpful waitress and the food and beer was 🤤🤤🤤
H.
Totally brilliant, starters, pork loin and mussels, incredible, my partner is Asian and he said that the mussels reminded him of home! Nice and Herby. Pork loin was moist and the sauce was the perfect accompaniment.
The steaks, t-bone and ribeye, were perfectly cooked and well seasoned and the desserts, were also really good, I would recommend the Panna cotta.
The best thing though was the service, the girl at the bar who served us was incredible, really knew her stuff and couldn't have been more friendly, thanks!
J. S.
Food is simply incredible, their cocktails make an amazing desert and the service from the staff is outstanding, 5 stars every time we've been there, the best restaurant in the city.
K. M.
The best restaurant Cork! It is not only about the food, which is amazing, but this restaurant is an experience! The service is amazing, the cocktails... we love everything, every time we go! Highly recommend to sit at the bar and enjoy the guys making the drinks and have a chat!
M. H.
Not my first time visiting. Go early or you will have to leave your name and number at the door and receive a callback when your table is available. You cannot book over the phone.
The food is delicious BUT the portions are very small. I had a starter smoked sausage, tbone steak & chips for main and a desert. I left feeling hungry and im not a large person.
The place is always busy but we had to keep attemptung to get the waiters attention so we could order desert and then again to get the bill.
For the price of the food, i would expect larger portion sizes.
B. H. L.
This is very nice steakhouse. It is so cozy and all employees are very kind.
I ordered the ripeye steak and it was perfect: tender and juicy, and right amount of salt and herb on steak. Th recommended french merrot wine is a good match for this. I will revisit here in next bussiness trip.
M. K.
What a find! A first rate dining experience. Modern cuisine with care and attention to detail.
Open flame cooking with a unique flavour.
Brew their own beer to boot!
Smallish dining room with attentive professional service.
M. C.
I was in town for work and I really wanted a nice meal to help me get my bearings. Boy did Elbow Lane do that and more. Fantastic meal and wide array of flavours I did not expect, but loved. Price is reasonable—bonus points for cool throwback music playing in the background.
A. G.
Excellent food, roast cauliflower starter was very tasty, red mullet was delicious. Smoked beetroot followed by salt baked swede also really good with surprising texture from the bulgur wheat. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Might be back later this week.
T. C.
Elbow lane is an amazing spot for great steak or seafood. Well worth a visit but just keep in mind they don't do reservations so you may have to wait for a table. Plenty of great pubs in the area while you wait.
T. M.
Excellent food and service. Picked grilled fish of the day from the Main, roasted almonds with olives from starter along with potato chips as side. And the best part was the dessert, cheese cake with raspberries, which was heaven. Highly recommended. Sitting place is small, early visit in the evening is recommended considering rush but hosts are very welcoming.
d.
Pleasant experience, good wine, good buzz and music, steak good even though 14oz T Bone didn't look that big. Service pleasant and not rushed. Salad with steaks, nicely different
L. O.
Always a lovely experience to eat here. A lively restaurant. Good food, especially their streaks which a cooked to your liking out front where you can watch. Would recommend. Not a venue to go if your looking for a quiet meal.
S. B.
Brewtiful food, drink and service. Staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is fantastic at a reasonable price. Everything made fresh to order right in front of your elbows.... I mean eyes. We got lucky with the wait list but it's worth a wait.
A. R.
Incredible food. The steak melts in your mouth, I loved the green beans with a sesame dressing, cocktails were fantastic as well, I couldn't recommend it enough. I'd eat here every evening if I could
M. P.
Only have been there once but my god the ribs were something else. Had bresket to start also epic. The mouse was epic to. My girlfriend had the rib eye she loved it with the fantastic chips as well. Such a small place but you know you are getting good food as they put time and effort into it.
J. F.
Knowledgeable server, best food and drinks ever!

Restaurant was full so they took our number and gave us a call when a table was available, plenty of bars nearby to pass the time. Very welcoming staff, busy but took the time to chat, food and wine were excellent. Would definitely recommend.
M. C.
One of the best ribeye in my life so far! The beef is grilled on a real fire pit inside the restaurant. Beer is also too quality, I drunk the home stout. Staff is very welcoming.
M. O.
Ok, so they don't take bookings and it's a small, cosy restaurant but the food and bar make up for this! Amazing cocktails, the "rise & shine" in particular is amazing! Also recommended are the pigs in blanket & beef brisket starters and any steak!
V. A.
Great food, drinks, and service.
E. K.
Food was amazing, service was outstanding and the beers were fabulous.
A. O.
If you are looking for a tasty steak, this is the place like nowhere else in Cork. On top of this nice coctails, tasty starters and side dishes, lovely coctails served in rather interesting glasses or other containers, very friendly staff. Nice and cosy place.
One word of caution, this place is not very big and it is rather popular. There are no bookings in advance, so you can pop in there on the day (usually they open at 5pm) 1-2 hours prior if you kniw that it is Friday night and it is busy, finish all your business in the city and come back for the meal. However, if we are talking about workday evening, there are usually one or two tables and we had to wait about 30minutes.
D. A.
A beautiful, cosy restaurant with fantastic food!
We had the warmest welcome when we walked in, and the waitress was great in explaining any queries we had about the menu. The food was incredible, really well presented, and tasted amazing.
Try the home brewed beer too!
S. B.
Had a wonderful dinner here recently. The staff are just amazing and helpful. My favourite place for going out for dinner in Cork!
E. Q.
One of the best restaurants in Cork City. Food is delicious and they have a fine selection of their own craft beers too. Highly recommended.
c. m.
One of my favourite restaurants in Cork, where I go for a treat. Great Cocktails, good steak and fish. Not cheap and not the place to eat in if looking for a healthy option. Cannot reserve ahead.
D. C.
Best restaurant in Cork, worth the wait the steaks are amazing and you can see them being cooked on the wood fire grill in front of you adding to the experience. Great selection of their own beer, which is brewed on site.
R. H.
One of my favourite restaurants in Cork. Great menu and friendly staff. There isn't many tables so the place can get busy at peak hours, if it is busy though make sure to still go in and chat to the staff, generally they will let you know roughly how long it will be until a table is free, take down your phone number, and call you when it is while you enjoy a drink nearby!
J. “. G.
I'm almost speechless. From 1 chef to another, you really know what you're doing! I've been trying to get in here for some time, and it was well worth it. Everything from the proper greeting at the door, to the music (Rick James & the Temptations to Otis Redding) to the warm towel at the end of the meal was spot on. Some may say it's a bit expensive, but I didn't think so, and you get what you pay for. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.
A. G.
Great place! It is very cosy amd the service is amazing. The roasted fish is the best in cork. They also have new sides and desserts every week i think.
J. K.
Fantastic food and welcoming staff made this visit worth the entire trip to Cork.
There is a reason there will likely be line up for a table when you visit. Do yourself a favor and put your name down for the wait then go to another pub for a drink until they call you.
We only had to wait 15 minutes but I would have waited an hour.
P. A.
I loved everything here which happens rarely... We ordered 4-5 different food items, all were surprisingly tasty... Dessert was amazing... And on top of all Weiss beer was cherry on top.... Double thumbs up...
B. G.
The food is amazing, the staff is incredibly- it is a must visit
I. E.
Great food, cozy atmosphere.
The ribs are fantastic and not too expensive.
The side dishes and the deserts are good as well.
The beer is cheap.
In overall the place is not to pricy.
Recommend!
N. B.
Really liked this place very inovative, good choice of foods and styles of cooking all in full view of the customers. Crammed so much into a tiny area. Everybody seems to muck in to make your visit a seemless experience almost theatre, The star of the show is Cian with his hundred miles an hour delivery, his in depth explanations of dishes, his extensive knowledge of Ales and food matching. I assumed he was one of the owners with his obvious passion and enthusiasm. Highly recommended
I. D.
It's a lovely restaurant. I think i was just wrong having my steak as medium well, it was kinda burnt (maybe because of the butter) but i would love to try their other foods.
M. F.
Small but busy place, craft beers and good food. We split a rib eye steak that was a little tough but good and a half order of baby back ribs that were very good, good service and moderately priced.
B. V. C.
Best restaurant in cork, probably the country. Staff are exceptional nice. Food is top. Best ribeye ever.
B. H.
Great little restaurant in Cork city. The steak in here is the best in the city.
T. V. d. W.
Really tasty food and great beers from their own microbrewery. The bartender was also superb. This was probably the best meal I had in Cork!
d. w.
Arguably among the best BBQs in Cork. If not The B. :-)
J. R.
I must say, I enjoyed it here immensely. Happened to be visiting Cork and Elbow Lane were included in a recent NYT write-up of the City. The beer was solid – not necessarily anything that stood out in comparison to US microbrews, but it is exciting to see a burgeoning microbrewery scene in Ireland that for too long has been dominated by Guinness, macro-Lagers (e.g. Harp, et. al.) and other large scale operations. The food, however, was absolutely delicious. Locally sourced food, cooked over an open flame that was being feed Irish ash, it was quite good. I ordered the Brisket Roll as a starter, and an Irish Ribeye (which was underdone, but quickly amended). Would highly recommend. It's rather small, so best to order early or make a booking (if they offer it).
M. G.
One of the best steaks I've ever had! Nice atmosphere inside
F. L.
Good food and really good service. Worth the wait

Possibly the best ribs I've ever had! The bar seating is very comfortable and the tasting tray of their craft beer selection is a must for any beer drinker
D. T.
Maybe the best steak in Cork?
P. G.
Great experience, great ribeye, great service, great dessert
N. B.
Very nice place. Staff excellent and very helpful, they explained us everyting about the food. Se had ribeye, tbone and sirloin. All was very deliciuos. Beer top level.
M. D.
Amazing food. Great beer brewed in house. All food is locally sourced from English market. Even got a private tour of the brewery. Highly recommended.
D. B.
Best steak spot in the city for sure. Those me lushrooks fritters with chorizo are the bomb! Great atmosphere will happily be back
C. M.
Food was exceptional, both cocktail and wine were lovely, and service was impeccable. Would gladly have paid another 20% without complaint.
R. W.
Fantastic steak, nice wine list, great beers, excellent service. Busy place, advise walk in with an hour advance of dining.
L. R.
Great food and drinks.
Friendly staff.
The only thing I didn't like is that the ventilation is not good. We left the place with a lot of food smell in hair and clothes.
Apart from that little detail everything was really excellent.
H. H.
Good food and wonderful beers, one of our favorite haunts in Cork. You cannot drink the beer unless you order food - we went after dinner and had chips with our beer.
K. B.
Beautiful food in a cosy setting! Not much seating so may have to wait but it’s worth it! Staff know their stuff which is always good!

s.
I just can’t get you off my mind - it’s been two weeks since I had the pleasure of visiting. Steak to die for and the dessert will rock your world afterwords. Don’t think about it just get to Elbow Lane.
E. H.
I've had some good steaks in my time but the T-bone here was truly delicious. Look no further for savage food and drinks.

We eat here on the 23-7-16.
I'm fussy about my steak but this was the best tasting steak I can remember having. Service was excellent, professional but very genuine. None of this posh heartless Michelin star malarkey. In house ales were o.k but the cocktails were superb. Whiskey sours for me! Start to finish from the getting at the door to the bar man, to the end of the night the team were fantastic. If your in Cork and you want a nice intimate meal and smokehouses are your thing and you like cocktails then this is the place to be. Get in early, get a time for a table and you will not be sorry. It's priced well for the city but who cares about price when it's this good. You can't put a price on a good experience and service. I will definitely be back in the future.

(Translated) Very nice place to eat. Their specialty is “smoke” of food such as steak and cocktails. The service is super friendly and explain the menu so you always know what you are ordering. Original concept and definitely worth a visit !!!

Zeer leuke plek om te gaan eten. Hun specialiteit is “smoken” van voeding zoals steak en cocktails. De bediening is super vriendelijk en leggen het menu uit zodat je steeds weet wat je bestelt. Origineel concept en zeker een bezoekje waard !!!

(Translated) Top restaurant !! Highly recommended.
Small but nice. Had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, but it was worth something. The waitress put us on the waiting list with phone number. We went to a pub next door for a drink and she called us, that our table is now free. I find a very cool solution. Had 2 grilled steaks and pointed beer from the in-house brewery. The chef can be seen as the steaks are grilled and then immediately prepared with full dedication. A great evening in cork.
(Original)
Top Restaurant!! Sehr empfehlenswert.
Klein aber fein. Mussten ca 30 Minuten auf einen Tisch warten, war es aber so was von wert. Die Kellnerin setzte uns auf die Warteliste mit Telefonnummer. Wir gingen noch in ein Pub nebenan auf ein Getränk und schon hat sie uns angerufen, dass unser Tisch jetzt frei ist. Finde ich eine sehr coole Lösung. Hatten 2 auf den Punkt gegrillte Steaks und spitzen Bier von der hauseigenen Brauerei. Dem Koch kann man zusehen wie die Steaks gegrillt werden und dann gleich mit voller Hingabe angerichtet werden. Ein toller Abend in cork.

(Translated) Excellent place for an intimate dinner, either accompanied or to treat yourself. Be that as it may, it is a real pleasure to eat here.
Good starters like those seen in the photo to make way for the main star that can be both meat and fish. Good selection of wines, beers (Angel Stout highly recommended) and drinks in general. Desserts are made to pair beautifully on the palate of lovers of present flavors. Super recommended place. I will come back.

Excelente lugar para una cena intima, ya sea acompañado o para darse un gusto. Sea como sea, un verdadero placer comer acá.
Buenos entrantes como los que se ven en la foto para darle paso a la estrella principal que puede ser tanto carne como pescado.

Lugar super recomendado. Volveré a volver.

Particularly the choice to season it with abundant paprika, someone might not like. Even the french fries were paprika. Beer produced by them, very good. Value for money good. I advise.

Locale molto accogliente, servizio ottimo. Pochi posti disponibili quindi lunghe attese, con consiglio di prenotare. La carne è di buona qualità, la cottura ottima. Particolare la scelta di condirla con abbondante paprika, a qualcuno potrebbe non piacere. Anche le patatine fritte erano alla paprika. Birra prodotta da loro, buonissima. Rapporto qualità prezzo buono. Lo consiglio.

(Translated) With an Aperodrink we waited a short time until we got a table. The service staff as well as all other employees are very friendly, set up and are respectful ... the food was excellent nd the drinks as well as the home-brewed beer are excelent! Very recommendable. We would immediately return to Elbow lane and indulge ourselves!

(Translated) Very good fish, outdoor table very nice but to book well in advance. Craft beer too expensive and average for my taste.
(Original)
Tres bon poisson, table extérieure très sympa mais à réserver longtemps a l’avance. Bières artisanales trop chères et moyennes à mon goût.

(Translated) Based on the trip advisor rating, my wife and I decided for our last restaurant on Cork to test the number 1 and what a surprise when our taste buds have validated the rating given by the reviews.
The decor is still looking but in this candlelit place, romantic atmosphere except that the music is very present in this restaurant all along and with few places.
Reservation recommended even if we pointed out like flowers.
But to return to the plate, the most important, we could taste the SirLion and it's really worth seeing.
Respected cooking, a big piece of meat cooked in the Smoke House (gigantic flames will wake you up!) All in a normal size dish.
All accompanied by 4 beers made by the establishment which have an exceptional character. It is well worth the price.
Miaaaaaaaaaam!

En me basant sur le classement Trip advisor, ma femme et moi avions décidé pour notre dernier resto sur Cork de tester le numéro 1 et quelle surprise lorsque nos papilles ont validé la note donnée par les avis.
La déco se cherche encore mais dans ce lieu éclairé à la bougie, ambiance assez romantique sauf que la musique est très présente dans ce resto tout en long et avec peu de places.
Réservation recommandée même si nous nous sommes pointés comme des fleurs.
Mais pour revenir à l'assiette, le plus important, nous avions pu goûter le SirLion et ça vaut vraiment le détour.
Cuisson respectée, gros morceau de viande cuite à la Smoke House (des gigantesques flammes vont vous réveiller!) tout cela dans un plat de taille normale.
Le tout accompagné des 4 bières réalisées par l'établissement qui ont toute un caractère exceptionnel. Ça vaut largement son prix.
Miaaaaaaaaaam !
