We just had another great experience at this charming little spot!! My group all had the fish sandwich and we were all delighted! Our service was fast! And the beer was cold! We also enjoyed the fried zucchini as an appetizer! Can't wait to return again! read more

Love everything about Elwood's Pub! The food, the prices, the service and the atmosphere are all excellent. Highly recommend.

I came to Elwood's Pub after my son played in a high school soccer tournament at Deer Lakes High School. Elwood's is also close to No Off-season. It is a cozy little place where it seemed like everyone in the place knew each other. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was packed with meat and only $9. My son finished off half a dozen full wings. Service was great and we enjoyed both our meals. read more

This is a great little hole in the wall. The service was great and the people were friendly. The food was amazing. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and loved it. Heard compliments at my table for the fries with gravy, chicken and rosemary soup, and the burger. They play live music too so that is another plus in my book. 10/10 recommend coming here and coming back after that. read more

Cute little pub! Nice hidden gem near the baseball fields. Menu is very limited otherwise I would have rated it 5 stars. They're known for their HUGE fish sandwiches. read more

I got the fish sandwich & onion rings to go. Got home, put the onion rings on my plate, and the grease was laying in the bottom of my plate. The fish sandwich bun was also soggy due to the amount of grease that was on it. All I could taste was the grease. read more

Fish sandwich is delicious! Severs are so kind. I love the orange crush for all my OC Beach lovers

This place is great. Definitely worth an Uber because it's not walking distance to much. It's small. Everyone's friendly. They switch out drinks regularly. The bar food is a bit better than just "bar food." I don't think you'd shoot for a meal here though. It's not a full restaurant. It is a bar and they have live music sometimes. I love it here. read more

My favorite local pub. I've never been disappointed. Their fish is my absolute favorite and the coleslaw is the best. The homemade soup of the week is always a good bet and they always have a good special. I love that they serve Arsenal Cider too! read more

Elwood's Pub is a hidden gem! Excellent food and wait staff! Mostly a handheld menu, but I have never been disappointed! Try the fish sandwich! read more

I love this little hidden gem. Never would guess this place was here but we stopped in after a hike at Deer Run. It's the local gem of a spot that everyone hangs out from the are but I go out of my way to drop by and ironically it's all for the chicken tenders and fries. Sounds ridiculous, I know, however they have some of the best for less than $8. It comes with the well-breaded, crispy chicken tenders and the seasoned straight fries that are also crispy. I love it, it's a classic and they do it right. All their food options are great and under $10 mostly. Their fish sandwich is massive but also incredible. They have the normal beers available but also have a great tap list with local breweries as well. Go out of your way and take a stop at this place, you won't regret it's simplistic perfection. read more

First time trying this bar. Very small inside menu is very small as well. Ordered the fish sandwich mine came out and was ok my husbands was very greasy the bun was saturated. The waitresss never stopped back to see what the problem was . For 14.00 you should get a side . Disappointed . The bears inn will remain the place to go good food good service ! read more

Great pub, friendly owner, nice waitstaff. Live jazz on Sunday. Not expensive at all. Best pulled pork ($7.99) I've had yet. Sweet and saucy with nice flavorful pieces of pork. Yum! Out of the way, but worth the trip. read more

Elwood's Pub - Delicious pulled pork sandwich for$7.99 - Pubs Near Me - Rural Ridge, Pennsylvania

Never had a bad meal but their sweet potato fries w/brown sugar honey sauce is almost drinkable.

This neighborhood pub is awesome. Cathleen waited on my friend and me and the beer selection was good. We will be back for food soon-other patrons said its good. Retro furniture and folksy atmosphere make this place a must-try. read more

My husband and I love this place!! It's like Cheers. Small place where everyone knows your name. Craft beer selection is awesome, and appetizers that we have ate have been perfect (Just so you know, we dont fill up on food we drink the beer ). Open mic night second Thursday every month. Come early to grab a table, this place will fill up. I know people say that Elwoods is in the middle of nowhere but that's why we love it. Keep in mind that it is a dead zone for cell service, but who cares enjoy your night :) read more

Surprise! Randomly closed for 'break'. With no notice here. Nothing like having your Uber drop you off in a cell dead zone to a place that should be open but is unexpectedly not. My fault for not calling I'm sure, I thought about it during the two mile walk back to where I could get service and call a car. read more

Best and largest portion of battered cod I've ever had. Perfectly crispy not greasy or soggy. Cole slaw side was delicious. My only beef is that their days and hours are somewhat restricted. This has become my go-to place for a cod sandwich. read more

Great neighborhood pub. Reminds me of my favorite place near home. The owner addressed most everyone by first name that came in. Fish sandwich was massive and really good. They have a wall of hot sauces to choose from, which is a big deal to me. Only downside was lack of cable package for sports, but some might consider the tv's turned off as a good thing! It was a mid-weekday night in September and only the Pirates were on, so really, talking with others is a bit more important. If a game were on national tv, I think they have it. read more

This was very enjoyable. The food was good, yummy bbq sauce and coleslaw. Glad we stopped!

Thank you Emily, you are amazing, best bartender waitress, hostess ever! Our first time at Ellwoods and it won't be our last. The food was delicious, enormous fish sandwich, and the pulled pork was the best. The sweet potato fries tasted like they had cinnamon and maybe sugar, so good! Live music was great, acoustic country, perfect. Thanks for a perfect evening out with friends. read more

We went to Elwood's to hear some live music. It was our first time at this pub. It's a small family owned establishment. We found a table in the back near the hot sauce wall. We ordered a cheese board and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were hot, crunchy coated and gooey-just the way everyone likes them. The cheese board had three types of cheese, crackers and two different types of mustards-a honey mustard and a stone ground. The cheeses were an Irish Port, Sharp Cheddar and a Smoked Gouda. My favorite was the Irish Port. I had never had it before and really enjoyed it. They have a nice selection of craft beers. It was surprising for such a small pub to have such a nice selection. We found out that if you order a mixed drink with orange juice or grapefruit juice that they squeeze it fresh right at the bar. I'm definitely trying that when I go back. We met the owner and found out that Elwood was their dog. He passed away at 14. The owner was extremely friendly and she chatted with us for a bit. Elwood's is out in the middle of nowhere with a post office right next door. I recommend you take a drive and check it out. I know I'll be headed back. read more

What a little gem hidden away in the woods outside Pittsburgh. Old school red leather cute. Pinball game in the basement. As a previous reviewer commented, it's a fry bar. But they got a great fry cook. Awesome hand battered zucchini, Monster & totally yummy beer battered fish sandwich. They do have a good black bean burger that ain't deep fried, and a pretty good pulled pork sandwich. Tap selection was quality. And 1919 Rootbeer! read more

We love it here great great great music. Open stage, bluegrass, rock, blues this place has it all!! Plus a lot of craft brew.

Best wings in town, and for being in the middle of no where, they have the best beer selection! Their seasoned wings are bomb!!!!

The posting said Gastro Pub. It was anything but. Everything was fried. They had nice live music and you could tell it was all locals. No one else could find the place. A real step back in time. read more

Great little place! Super friendly with 17 craft beers and root beer on tap. We had plain seasoned wings and buffalo wings. They are the whole 3-part wings, so a half dozen is plenty. We finished with an excellent root beer float. Highly recommend this place for casual dining with a solid craft beer selection. read more

We stopped here a year ago when we were looking for somewhere to eat close to Founder's Field after a day of watching rugby. We liked it so much we thought we would come back to see if it was as good as we remembered. It was worth stopping in again. When you pull up to Elwood's you wonder if you are at the right place and when you open the door it looks you're going to walk into someone's basement bar because the space is so small. Don't worry though - small space but big portions and huge taste. If you are in the area you should stop and I dare you to get the cod and finish it without help from someone else - I couldn't finish it all last year and my husband couldn't finish it this year. I went for the pulled pork this year - it was delicious! read more

Clean, cozy and cute- this place has everything you need. Great beers, great food with a simple menu and live tunes. In the middle of nowhere, but worth the drive. A true gem. We had the chicken tortilla soup which was delicious with large chunks of white chicken meat, the house salad made with fresh quality greens and veggies. The buffalo chicken sandwich was pretty good- but the pulled pork sandwich was to die for. We will definitely be back!! read more

This place is certainly off the beaten path - we stumbled upon it after visiting Deer Lakes Park. Decent food, cozy environment and great conversation with "Beer Dave," if you're looking to try a new brew or two. read more

A friend and I ran across this place when attending the 2015 Worlds Disc Golf tournament at Deer Lakes State Park. We later discovered that they were a sponsor of the event. It's a great little friendly place that makes you feel right at home. The beer selection was very good. The style and vibe was perfect. I didn't have any food, but what I saw around me looked very appetizing and of good quality. read more

Good food, maybe priced slightly higher than should be. Place is small, fills up fast, gets crowded. Draft beer taps placement on bar block your ability to communicate with staff if you end up sitting in front of them. I'm going back. read more

Been going to Elwood's for the past few years....WINGS, FISH SANDWICH, SWEET POTATO FRIES!! Yes....not to mention that Kathy, Dave and Crew treat everybody like family. Love the place!! read more

The inside is nothing to look at, but the food and service was incredible. Got the beer battered cod and was only able to finish half cause it was so big even though it was delicious, my SO got the pulled pork and didn't leave a scrap. Good beer selection, fries were OK, seasoned well. Service was quick. A little more expensive than I was expecting, but still worth it. read more

Mary Goldenrod and I love this place! Great food, a variety of local micro brews and live music most nights. Kathy and Dave are great hosts and the atmosphere is "down home". Shout out to Beer Dave for a great selection of bre read more

Simply the best place around for a beer. Elwood's is just a gem of a local bar with great beer.

Love ElwoodsPub. The staff are always friendly and the owners Dave & Cathy go above and beyond. Great food, music and beer selection.

Was there for the first time last night. The bartender and staff were very attentive, Great fish sandwich. Will be stopping again!
