Editorial Review for Elbow Room – by Natalie Rieland
In Short
The Elbow Room has created a family-style pub that attracts a somewhat more upscale Shadyside crowd with its outdoor seating, drink specials and exotic menu. Instead of traditional burgers, clubs and standard entrees, the kitchen serves specialty salads and sandwiches like the grilled eggplant, spicy chicken salad and Muenster tuna melt. There's also a kids' menu replete with skinless hot dogs, penne with marinara or butter and more.

Nice, cozy outdoor patio Mixed drinks were weak, and the fried calamari greasy - oil in the fryer likely wasn't hot enough. Love the ambiance though. Next time I'll sit inside. Head's up - they allow smoking inside so if you're sensitive may not be the best place.

I recently discovered The Elbow Room this past summer and have visited several times since. It easily has the best burger in Pittsburgh--thick and juicy, but not at all greasy--served with "Potato Patch" style French fries. Their chocolate cheesecake was probably the richest and best dessert Ive ever had. The outdoor patio in the rear is very quaint and romantic and possesses a European feel. It is perfect for dinner with your date or drinks with the friends. I was shocked to read other reviews touting The Elbow Room as kid friendly as I never encountered anything but a relaxed, young professional-type atmosphere the evenings I dined here. A new favorite and highly recommended.
Pros: Delicious, Affordable, Romantic
