More information on Elbow Room (The)

Literally a "hole in the wall" kind of place whose trendy clientele often spill outside onto the narrow pedestrian lane on which it is situated. There is a clever bench at street level, which means you can sit outside and still be at the bar. Inside it is warm and dark and usually packed. There is a well-stocked bar with cocktails, spirits, beer and wine and the friendly staff can arrange for snacks from Firello's café, next door. The bar opens Monday to Wednesday from 3 p.m., Thursday and Friday at noon and Saturday at 5 p.m.
